3:56 OMG! I remember speaking about my back/SIJ in terms of “injury”. 😂. And to be fair to myself, the pain was severe enough that my mind could only perceive that an injury must have occurred, despite the evidence. This is why it is SO important to change how you speak-to others and yourself. I had to practice rephrasing the way I spoke about pain. I stopped saying injury and I was rigorous about ceasing alllllll talk that was centered around diagnosis. In order to capture your own belief, you really must reject medical terminology. Stop taking ownership of your symptoms! When you say “I have X pain or symptom”, your brain is listening and it will keep giving you symptoms.
I like the word “capture” in “capture your own belief.” Capture as harnessing and seizing, and capture as framing, like taking a photo-re-framing. Thanks
@@michaelstreit1603 one thing that has challenged me in my journey is that I don’t have to change my personality (as if I could). I’m a pretty assertive person, so I can bring my whole self to this method. I just giggled when I thought “I am aggressively indifferent!” 😂
I am a huge fan of Lorimer’s. What I find freeing about both his message and yours is that freedom from chronic pain/symptoms does not necessarily require a specific set of actions. Rather it is a shift in how we THINK. In my situation, freedom from chronic pain came BEFORE taking any deep dives into specific actions such as journaling, intentional mindfulness, etc. I’ve been free from chronic pain since last year, but have only recently taken up things like journaling and mindfulness hobbies. So, I hope people understand that the essential change is really in how you think and perceive yourself and your life; moment-by-moment. That new way of thinking becomes THE way and the symptoms will ease … then leave.
What a great description. I'm still on my path to recovery and caught myself so many times wanting to fix the whole thing with my big toolbox 😀. But I recognize more and more the mind shift is the main step to do. Again and again.... Thank you so much. Your words give me trust and hope.
@@ConsciousGrowing I am so glad! Every day I feel self conscious and afraid to comment then I remember how scary PDP can be. And how much the success stories meant to me! So I keep showing up! I hope you have an awesome day!
I feel like the fact that there’s nothing wrong with me, and it’s all generated by the brain and nervous system, Makes me even more scared. Because now I know that no treatment will fix it and it’s a part of my neural pathways now, which are hard to forget. It also makes me think, if this is generated by the brain because it perceives danger, what can be next ? I think this concept just created a new level of fear for me. How do I deal with that and move on to the idea of safety ?
Hi Jessica I had the same was scared of TMS there is a very helpful video from Dan about this you can find it on UA-cam wishing succes and send you much love 😘❤️💐
If the brain can create symptoms from perceived danger, it will turn them off with safety. The brain and nervous system is working perfectly. It's just operating on misinformation and fear. Correct the misinformation with accurate knowledge, dial down the fear and you can and will get better. Your job? Know that you ARE okay. You are not broken emotionally, physically or mentally. I teach daily how to do this. You ARE in the right place. Try not to create any secondary fear of your brain or fear of fear. ua-cam.com/video/UAavsNcX024/v-deo.html
Although I believe this to be true for body pain, it's very hard to me to accept this is true for food intolerances, especially delayed reaction ones where candida comes out and causes the inflammation. So many people are able to cure this by taking supplements, detoxing, infrafred saunas, diets etc, where brain retraining fails. I never used to believe in leaky gut, always went for "it's the brain" but I have tried and tried and tried, becoming so brave with reintroducing foods etc, and yet I STILL get the symptoms, no matter what I try with my brain, and believe me I have tried for a few years now, I can't get any reduction in symptoms at all, they just won't stop coming. So now I've had a rethink about all of this where food is concerned and I've had a change of heart, it must be something physical thing that's going on in us all, especially given the amount of people who are unwell where food is concerned, and there must be some kind of gut issue going on that needs directly looking at and healing, not just scared brain.
Simply put, stress suppresses the digestion and immune systems. Perhaps being in the stress response about our gut issues and other life events is what causes digestion to be sub-optimal which allows these things like candida to develop. Trying to resolve with supplements or a perfect diet may not work well if you do not address the cause. Perceived danger in the brain. Hope that helps and makes sense.
I totally believe I have TMS, but I have a really hard time not obsessing over it and checking in with my body. It’s a terrible habit I have created over the years. When I’m feeling good it’s easier, but when I’m not it’s way harder. Could you make a video on this constant checking in and how to address it?
With consistent messages of safety, you will obsess less and less. It is perfectly normal for anyone with chronic pain or symptoms to be hyper-focused on it. Perfectly normal to pay more attention on a difficult day. Try not to judge that as a problem. It's not that you notice the symptoms, it's more how you respond when you do notice.
@@PainFreeYou that makes me feel better. I’ve been annoyed at myself for constantly checking in with them. I know it is a process and I’m willing to keep at it
Hi Dan just came back from a long walk in the dunes it is only 15 degress Celsius here. Not much to say really just tell my brain there is nothing wrong with me I feel my emotions my mental state us ok my fysical state is good. I dont like labels. Dont have more to say... Thank you for this video love you Dan and everyone else a big hug and smile from me see you all tomorrow 😘😘😘.
Question please - I didn’t have an accident but I think I have irritated nerves in my lower glutes/sit bone area. No idea why I have it, maybe i sit too much because of day job etc! When I first noticed the sensations it did freak me out and I was worried sick it was something serious! Could this be classed as TMS? I think it is possible but also possible that due to inactivity I’ve caused this myself! I scored very highly on your TMS test! Having physio doing lots exercises and noticed some improvements but it’s been going on for 6/7 months. Would love your thoughts please x
Scoring high on the pain test means your brain is creating the symptoms. That means you can teach your brain your body is fine and the pain can go away. Try not to look for how you "hurt yourself". You didn't sit too much. Our bodies are not that frail or easily broken that sitting caused 6-7 months of pain.

Lorimer's great, as well as David Butler if no one has heard of him, they wrote a book together, David's a cool character too. He has a good talk on you tube, and I always remember him saying that there are no pain nerves in your body, they don't exist.. only safety and danger signals interpreted by the brain.
I had mild CFS symptoms before but I figure my brain really freaked out after I had an adverse reaction to a medication, now I want to persuade it the medication is gone and we are okay. Also my specialist diagnosed chronic pain syndrome...but no real treatment recommendations...so, what am I meant to do with a label like that except feel bad about it? No, I'm going to shift away from it.
Throw the label away. It does you NO good. All medical labels do is create more fear. Perceived danger pain explains it all in my opinion: ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
Dan… silly Question ..but.. even with good test results indicating no damage , how do I know nothing changed 3 weeks later and now it really is a .. tumor or bad, dangerous thing? Can’t keep getting tests every month.. ya know what I mean? My brain pain .. MRI showed nothing 2 years ago.. “but /what if “ .. it really IS something now, today, tomorrow? Especially cuz I’m older now.. 2 yrs long covid= fatigue w burning brain chronic constant head pain..
What if you are actually perfectly fine and it's fear and the brain perceiving danger that is causing all the symptoms? We cannot run for testing every three weeks to be sure. The best way to know is to do the assessments to see how your symptoms are behaving. Both assessments are on my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start If you score 30 or more on the pain test, it's TMS, not some illness/injury. If you even check off one or more of the items in the FIT assessment on the getting started page, your brain is creating the pain, not some damage or illness. You are in the right place. Recovery from fear is the name of the game. ua-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/v-deo.html
Hey Dan, Your daily videos are so inspiring. I love the way you explain. I am suffering from chronic pain since 2016. I have issues in my cervical and lower back area and also a lot of pain in my legs. I know it's TMS after having all possible checks done and not finding any major cause the doctor came to the conclusion it is Fibromyalgia. I have been struggling with all possible treatments and strategies till I found you and now I am 100% dedicated to your approach. I often tell my husband one day I want to be a successful recovery story on Dan's show. I can't tell you how much power you're bringing in to my life😍
That is wonderful Harpreet. Fibromyalgia is TMS. Drop that diagnosis. You can and will get well. If you'd like to fast track recovery, the group program is a great place to do that. www.PainFreeYou.com/join
@@PainFreeYou yes Dan it’s just that being a mother of two young kids and working full time I just can’t cope up with too many engagements. I watch your stuff on youtube regularly and lets hope it makes my condition better. If still things don’t work for me then I surely will consider doing your intense program. But I really wanna thank you for your commitment and efforts in improving lives of so many people🙏☺️
Hey Dan! Thank you for another great video and for approaching fibromyalgia. Why do some doctors label fibromyalgia as autoimune? I've even read a book that says some studies show that fibromyalgia could be autoimune. Even though Dr Sarno and you say that fibro is just TMS, sometimes my brain goes "what if fibro really is autoimune and I can't recover?"
Try not to get caught up in the debate. Plenty of people who were told they have Fibro get well. It's TMS. Perhaps the reason why doctors think Fibro is autoimmune is because the immune system is suppressed and doesn't work optimally when we are in the stress response (fight or flight). Take the pain test: YourPainTest.com - if 30 or over, it's TMS/Perceived Danger Pain.
@@ezza1236 Many people diagnosed with fibro ALSO have Fatigue, but not everyone. Fatigue and symptoms labeled as Fibro are created by a brain perceiving danger - thus TMS.
Oh my ribcage symptoms started after I had a heart attack a couple of weeks later. My mouth pain I can't explain but not important. So therefore I had the ultrasound yesterday just a check up next year a 🚲bike test. Everything was good bloodwork blood pressure my cholesterol. So really happy. And yes pain is a protector I know it is for sure. This tms pain is just perceived danger by my brain. I just have to teach my brain there is nothing wrong with me... Brain not listening yet but it will PATIENCE I have got what it takes and I am a warrior a viking 😊ok I am tired going to for a baby rest byeeee 🤗😘😘😘
I fell hard on the asphalt and sprained my ankle. Tore a ligament and didn't know it. Pain increased over 8 months after treatment. Been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Any comments on this?
I still believe that perceived danger in the brain is what causes pain. CRPS is a medical label for long term pain where the pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury. However, if there is fear and the brain perceives danger, the pain can be high. The intensity of the fear dictates the intensity of the pain. These videos will help explain more. See how that fits for you. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/v-deo.html Take the pain test: YourPainTest.com - a score of 30 or more means your pain behaves like perceived danger pain (TMS) and not a structural problem.
I do know that some with Asthma report that improving when they employ the TMS concepts. Holding your breath when you smell chemicals is not asthma though. But it IS a fear response.
Great video Dan my upper back has been in constant pain for months been examined by 2 doctors and all i got told was it was my muscles no explanation as to why it had been like that for so long xx
The explanation is this: ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html Recovery from fear is the solution: ua-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/v-deo.html A great place to begin is here: www.painfreeyou.com/start
Sometimes our bodies make noises. When we have pain, muscle tension is often part of it. And tight muscles often don't allow joints to move freely and they can pop. When I was in my years of back pain, my back popped a LOT. Now that there's no pain? It doesn't make nose.
May I ask, did you get Covid vaccines? I had 2 and will always regret it. I succumbed to pressure so we could go on holiday. I’m convinced ever since I had those jabs that my immune system and health has declined massively
I and so many people I know got the vaccines and are perfectly fine. They are not harmful. Please don't go there in your mind. You may be convincing yourself otherwise. I know people who did not get the vaccine and ended up in the hospital or worse. YOU ARE OK--:)
I am starting to think I can use this as forced introspection! I am fortunate that I can. I am sitting in Peace and Letting Go..Relaxing and Breathing! I am Okay! 😊❤
Thanks for a great video Dan and good morning UA-cam community. It’s becoming clearer and clearer to me the longer I walk this unusual journey is that mindset really is everything.
Thank you Dan ! Needed to hear that today to reconfirm that my knee pain that started a day after increased activity was just my overprotective brain . Thank you for hitting the nail on the head yet again ! So grateful for you
Also, later illuminated as Tension Myoneural Syndrome. It is jokingly referred to as “Too Much Stress”! Others have used the acronym to encompass a larger term “The MindBody Syndrome”.
My term for it is Perceived Danger Pain. I believe my definition explains what causes pain or symptoms more completely. This video explains more. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
PB - You always come up with the best analogies! TMS is definitely changeable like the weather. You just never know what to expect. Hope you feel better.
And even if the damage is there ....ie small fibre neuropathy post vax - do you feel dr Sarno work is so powerful here ? Would love to hear your thoughts on the structural issue. Xx from Australia
If I recall correctly, I heard Dr Schubiner speak to the idea that this type of neuropathy is TMS. So, the answer to your question may be yes. Which is great news and worth the assumption.
@@Hinz2005 yes I heard him mention it for a second- but I thought it was regards to an unknown cause - my cause was the covid vax - and since then it has progressed which is distressing of course .... and the nerve damage is visible .... but I'd like to think I can flip it and heal
@@monnmar1 hi! I am sorry you are experiencing this. I remain convinced that symptoms like yours can also be resolved with a MindBody approach. Our bodies are regenerative by default. That’s great news. Your symptoms can resolve and I suspect would resolve faster and with greater ease if you assume a MindBody approach.
@@Hinz2005 thank you. Working on a mind body approach at the moment ..... so hopefully I can come back and say....I did it !!! It's just hard as the vax injuries have been so scary for a lot of us ...as we don't know what it's done to manh
@@monnmar1 I understand. There’s an extraordinary amount of fear in all that happened the past 3 years. The pain I experienced began during this time as well. I’m certain the pandemic was one of several factors. If you can, try to let go of what you feel is the cause. Give yourself wholly to this solution instead. Channeling your thoughts into safety and the absolute joy that this approach can bring--that’s the secret sauce! I was telling my husband last night that nowadays it cracks me up when my mind will hit the default setting of “cause & effect”. We humans are wired to search for patterns. For meaning. For this, you have zero’d in a cause. But even that assumption doesn’t help. Ruminating on the past doesn’t serve you or your human right to experience health and vigor. I would challenge and encourage you to throw your assumption out the window of a very tall building. No more injury groups. No more googling. Stop looking at anything to do with what you think happened. Lean into the amazing capacity we have to heal emotionally and physically. Nurture your mind with safety. Let go of any guilt that you made a decision or were even coerced. Change your mind and your body will come along with you. I am so glad you are here! Watch Dan’s videos every day and enjoy your newfound freedom!
Hahaha that made me laugh about the reflux comment. I only meant irritation or damage in the sense of like...if a baby has diaper rash and nobody is ever wiping its butt, it will keep stinging. If acid is refluxing over and over again into the esophagus, wouldn't it keep that location irritated in the same sort of way? Even so, the solution is still not to change diet, but to show indifference regardless, right?
I saw a webinar recently, Dr. Eleanor Stein at University of Calgary. She referred to Mosely and Butler and quoted them saying that ANY type of chronic pain can be resolved, using your ideas and approach. Once pain is chronic, it proves that frightened brain is stuck in overdrive. Thx for every day cheerleading us into pain-free existence 🤍

I love your resolve and your commitment to yourself.
I fell hard on the asphalt and sprained my ankle. Tore a ligament and didn't know it. Pain increased over 8 months after treatment. Been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Any comments on this?
I still believe that perceived danger in the brain is what causes pain. CRPS is a medical label for long term pain where the pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury. However, if there is fear and the brain perceives danger, the pain can be high. The intensity of the fear dictates the intensity of the pain. These videos will help explain more. See how that fits for you.

Take the pain test: YourPainTest.com - a score of 30 or more means your pain behaves like perceived danger pain (TMS) and not a structural problem.
Thanks Dan needed this! You are appreciated 👍
You are welcome.
Do you think asthma could be TMS or partially TMS? When I smell something strong like a cleaning agent - I immediately start holding my breath.
I do know that some with Asthma report that improving when they employ the TMS concepts. Holding your breath when you smell chemicals is not asthma though. But it IS a fear response.
Great video Dan my upper back has been in constant pain for months been examined by 2 doctors and all i got told was it was my muscles no explanation as to why it had been like that for so long xx

Thank you Dan x
What is your opinion on bone popping and cracking? I’m having a hard time not correlating popping meaning, somethings wrong, physically!
Sometimes our bodies make noises. When we have pain, muscle tension is often part of it. And tight muscles often don't allow joints to move freely and they can pop. When I was in my years of back pain, my back popped a LOT. Now that there's no pain? It doesn't make nose.
@@PainFreeYou thank you very much!
May I ask, did you get Covid vaccines? I had 2 and will always regret it. I succumbed to pressure so we could go on holiday. I’m convinced ever since I had those jabs that my immune system and health has declined massively
I did not. While there may be legitimate vaccine injuries - there can also be symptoms driven by fear. (perceived danger pain)
@@PainFreeYou Christ.. everyone I ask didn’t have it. I feel like a proper pushover now.
I and so many people I know got the vaccines and are perfectly fine. They are not harmful. Please don't go there in your mind. You may be convincing yourself otherwise. I know people who did not get the vaccine and ended up in the hospital or worse. YOU ARE OK--:)
@@cassettepat Try not to judge yourself. You and 2/3 of the global population took it.
What gel product do you use in your hair? So hard to fine ones that last the whole day.
Got To Be Glued - the black bottle.
@@PainFreeYou hahaha love it!
Now they can sponsor you BIG and give your gel for free ! Painfree- you - gel!!😂
@@Inge508 Haha - more merchandise.
I am starting to think I can use this as forced introspection! I am fortunate that I can. I am sitting in Peace and Letting Go..Relaxing and Breathing! I am Okay! 😊❤
Wonderful.
Thanks for a great video Dan and good morning UA-cam community. It’s becoming clearer and clearer to me the longer I walk this unusual journey is that mindset really is everything.
Yep love you Peggy ❤️❤️❤️😘😘
It absolutely is.
Go Peggy!!!
Definitely is. The penny/dime will drop sooon
Thank you Dan ! Needed to hear that today to reconfirm that my knee pain that started a day after increased activity was just my overprotective brain . Thank you for hitting the nail on the head yet again ! So grateful for you
I'm grateful for you too.
Thank you! Sometimes just reading the titles of your videos is incredibly helpful. ❤
Fantastic.
Thanks for this video Dan. What does TMS stand for?
TENSION MYOSITIS SYNDROME
Also, later illuminated as Tension Myoneural Syndrome. It is jokingly referred to as “Too Much Stress”! Others have used the acronym to encompass a larger term “The MindBody Syndrome”.
My term for it is Perceived Danger Pain. I believe my definition explains what causes pain or symptoms more completely. This video explains more.

Sat in my car and a storm cloud has burst. Hailstones etc! Mad eh changeable weather like my PDP 🙄
❤
Hope you’re feeling better today!🙏🌺
PB - You always come up with the best analogies! TMS is definitely changeable like the weather. You just never know what to expect. Hope you feel better.
@@Inge508 today a better day. Definitely think PDP. Thanks

Any time!
And even if the damage is there ....ie small fibre neuropathy post vax - do you feel dr Sarno work is so powerful here ? Would love to hear your thoughts on the structural issue. Xx from Australia
If I recall correctly, I heard Dr Schubiner speak to the idea that this type of neuropathy is TMS. So, the answer to your question may be yes. Which is great news and worth the assumption.
@@Hinz2005 yes I heard him mention it for a second- but I thought it was regards to an unknown cause - my cause was the covid vax - and since then it has progressed which is distressing of course .... and the nerve damage is visible .... but I'd like to think I can flip it and heal
@@monnmar1 hi! I am sorry you are experiencing this. I remain convinced that symptoms like yours can also be resolved with a MindBody approach. Our bodies are regenerative by default. That’s great news. Your symptoms can resolve and I suspect would resolve faster and with greater ease if you assume a MindBody approach.
@@Hinz2005 thank you. Working on a mind body approach at the moment ..... so hopefully I can come back and say....I did it !!! It's just hard as the vax injuries have been so scary for a lot of us ...as we don't know what it's done to manh
@@monnmar1 I understand. There’s an extraordinary amount of fear in all that happened the past 3 years. The pain I experienced began during this time as well. I’m certain the pandemic was one of several factors. If you can, try to let go of what you feel is the cause. Give yourself wholly to this solution instead. Channeling your thoughts into safety and the absolute joy that this approach can bring--that’s the secret sauce! I was telling my husband last night that nowadays it cracks me up when my mind will hit the default setting of “cause & effect”. We humans are wired to search for patterns. For meaning. For this, you have zero’d in a cause. But even that assumption doesn’t help. Ruminating on the past doesn’t serve you or your human right to experience health and vigor.
I would challenge and encourage you to throw your assumption out the window of a very tall building. No more injury groups. No more googling. Stop looking at anything to do with what you think happened. Lean into the amazing capacity we have to heal emotionally and physically. Nurture your mind with safety. Let go of any guilt that you made a decision or were even coerced. Change your mind and your body will come along with you.
I am so glad you are here! Watch Dan’s videos every day and enjoy your newfound freedom!
I love these videos so much! It just helps to hear this !
Glad you like them!
Hahaha that made me laugh about the reflux comment. I only meant irritation or damage in the sense of like...if a baby has diaper rash and nobody is ever wiping its butt, it will keep stinging. If acid is refluxing over and over again into the esophagus, wouldn't it keep that location irritated in the same sort of way?
Even so, the solution is still not to change diet, but to show indifference regardless, right?
Yes, but stressing about it ensures it will continue.
I saw a webinar recently, Dr. Eleanor Stein at University of Calgary. She referred to Mosely and Butler and quoted them saying that ANY type of chronic pain can be resolved, using your ideas and approach. Once pain is chronic, it proves that frightened brain is stuck in overdrive.
Thx for every day cheerleading us into pain-free existence 🤍
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing me that quote. Love it. I agree too.
