This is more than just helpful…this is life changing!!! I’m sharing with the many people in my life who struggle so badly with trauma rooted anxiety and chronic perceived unpleasant sensations. You are a BLESSING good doctor!!
Nice video. I think this applies to confronting the inner world too. I was out doing stuff but still had many chronic symptoms, it was my inner world I was afraid of and avoiding.
Hi, thank you for speaking on this. I have saved this video. I plan to listen to it again. 24/7 Hypervigilance and the physical symptoms are exhausting to manage. Thanks again.
I’ve been with low back pain for three years and just learned about BS /TMS a year ago… and I’ve learned to avoid, among other things, picking stuff off the floor. Yesterday, I decided to start trying to pick things off the floor but first visualising myself doing it easily. I dropped my glove in a cafe. So I took a minute to picture myself picking up the glove (feeling very scared/anxious as I did this) and when I opened my eyes, an employee passed by my table and picked up my glove for me 🤦🏻♀️😂 I breathed a sigh of relief I was so scared, because I know pain will spike for the rest of the day if I have to pick up something off the floor. It’s so scary to start and stay consistent!
@@thepainpt dropped my phone today and waited for a cute man to walk by and asked him for help, because today is a high pain day, and I didn’t want to make it worse. I’ll try doing the things I fear on better days, this seems more doable. Thank you for replying and thank you for your videos!
Brilliant video! I have to stop fearing emptying my bladder due to the pain that follows. I understand I must drink a normal amount of fluids.... it's scary though. Thanks Jim ❤
What about Chronic fatigue syndrome? I watched so many of your videos, and other on the same subject. But I feel like something more is going on. I know that part of my condition is related to tms or neuroplastic plain; but is cfs all about that? I don’t feel like I have the improvement I deserve after all these years of practicing the mind body approach (not perfectly for sure, but pretty consistently for period of times over the last years). Anyways, thank you very sincerely for your participation in my healing, in our healing;) Great job man!
Jaw and face pain that became neurological.. my mental health has taken a nose dive and anxiety and pain are now connected. I know I have so much fear. 😢
I also suffer with this and it’s excruciating it also effects my teeth, I stopped doing yoga and travelling very far in the car as it makes it worse urgh it’s so hard to resume when you know it’s going to be overwhelming
@@TheDucattiYvonsorry to hear you too have this. How did yours start? I’m determined to heal my body and move through this jaw face pain issue. Mine is only right side and very specific pain areas. Are you doing anything to help?
@@canoegirl6335 I’m working with my nervous system to regulate it ( Irene Lyons UA-cam) somatic therapy with a therapist doing hakomi and building up capacity to feel and be with sensation in the body but it takes time .. mine is also right side and started about 13 year ago and is linked to childhood trauma and never being heard or allowed to speak my truth or express emotions I have a lot of fear and despair and anger all tied up in the pain .. hope you make some progress soon 🙏🏻
@@15ruksinn This is a really great question. I wish I could see a brain MRI before/after in a traumatized, dysregulated person. Although, repressed anger can be a choice whether we want to admit it or not. But unearthing it via talk therapy and/or EMDR could cause total adrenal failure, maybe even seizures from the intensity in some. Anger and resentments that have been buried become a part of the body. On a biological note, it's all very interesting and tragic. Wish you all the best in your life from one human to another 🌸
What would you recommend about extreme noise sensitivity, had a major stress in the summer and my noise and screen sensitivity has gone very intense. Thank you.
Yes that’s sensitization. Gradually and steadily expose yourself to these things while telling yourself they’re fine. Reduce any existing stress as that will help lower sensitivity
Hi Jim, What about avoiding heavy weight lifting? The thing is, i put in the past a lot of pressure on myself. I likes to train hard. Right now when i go to the gym and push a little bit i got symptoms. It feels like my nervous system is tired. But i hope i just need to get going and through graded exposure my symptoms will go away. What is your opinion in this case? All the best Thomas.
155 USD is simply too much for me in my country, I would have even trouble to pay for that if it was quarterly.. But I like the free content on this YT channel
Yes they are $50 for the month if you want them outside of an individual session or monthly group sessions. You can go to my website to learn more. www.thepainpt.com/
@@thepainpt Hi! I looked everywhere on your site for the 50usd option for just the audio, but I cannot seem to find it. Could you specify which page this is on?
Dear Jim, please can I ask your expert advice on my particular problem (of 30+ years 😫). Bladder pain comes on after emptying it, and lasts for hours. All started with a serious bladder infection and never got better. I have various "fixing" strategies, which work some of the time (like ice, cold water, cream on the area etc). I admit I'm "addicted" to these; I can't stand just experiencing the achey pain and taking no action. This is my question....Do you think I should literally go cold turkey and stop trying to fix the pain? I can't describe how impossible that feels!!!!! BTW I'm in no doubt now that it's neuroplastic. Thanks in advance and thanks for all your great videos 🙏❤

Faith vs. Fear. Fear is like praying for what you don’t want 😊❤
This is exactly what I am doing now. I avoided many things for the last 5-6 months. I am slowly reintroducing everything. Thanks for your reassurance.
Nice video.

This is 💯 true! Thank you for this helpful and encouraging discussion. Like Sarno said, resume normal activity and the pain will eventually leave.
Hi Jim i am non stop challenging myself 😁😁😁😁💪💪💪🥳
Nice job

Start doing the things you fear and the death of fear is certain!

I think I took this in, Jim. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you. I also recommend everybody the book YOU ARE NOT SICK FROM IZZET GÜLLÜ
Thank you very much my friend. This has been a game changer.
Great information 👍👍
So true
I try and try to tell my brain that I know my pain is in my head but nothing has helped as of yet.

Ive been avoiding going on longervdrives on the highway bc i suddenly started getting anxieyy and panic feelings while drivimg
I see this a lot this is something you’re going to have to face to get over
@thepainpt yeah it's a new fear within the past year . Prior to that I had no issue with that.
This started the last year for me as well!
@@thepainptDo we just do visualization, then soldier through it? Thanks.
Fear IS fear, real or perceived.
Thanks Jim for this awesome video!
What do you think of tms treatment for repressed anger and nervous system dysfunction due to cptsd?

Have you helped people in Protracted benzo withdrawal?
Can't get out of heavy heads dizziness / woozy heads for well over a year maybe since boosters
It could easily be the brain causing this since been awhile. If so this approach applies
Do you have much information on sensory processing disorder as a forunner to tms born with this with the Asperger's albeit undiagnosed in youth
What would you recommend about extreme noise sensitivity, had a major stress in the summer and my noise and screen sensitivity has gone very intense. Thank you.
Yes that’s sensitization. Gradually and steadily expose yourself to these things while telling yourself they’re fine. Reduce any existing stress as that will help lower sensitivity
@thepainpt thank you Jim.
Now, is it possible that I am not consciously aware of being anxious to move but still get high reactions?
Yes anxiety originates from the unconscious can be conscious as well. Also sensitization is from the unconscious
What about long covid ? Do you think it’s the same ? Thanks should I just do things even if symptoms are very high? Thanks
Yes once the Covid has passed or it’s well beyond the normal healing timeframe of Covid or any virus
Dose this also work for health anxiety?
Does
Yes absolutely. Health anxiety is one of the biggest causes of these somatic symptoms
How do I teach my brain that tinnitus is not a threat.
Same question here.

I consider coaching on this point. Its hard to break this cycle of doubt : avoiding or doing to much
Would this apply to food sensitivities that aren't allergies?
Yes absolutely
@@thepainpt thank you. I’ve been really struggling with excema and this video gave me a lightbulb moment.
Hi Jim… I was getting your daily emails but not anymore. What’s going on? Thanks.
You have to sign up for a session with him that month to get the audios, or pay for that month separately through his site 🙏🏻

Thanks in advance and thanks for all your great videos 🙏❤
Please address real neurotoxins and avoidance. Specifically neurotoxins in ambient air that physically get into the brain.
Do we do more from a place of gradual ease not to intense at the start
