Hi Dan, your teachings and videos are immensely valuable. I found you through Raelan's channel when you did the interview with her. I have been watching you daily since then.... your wisdom was the missing link in my recovery. The combination of simplicity & reassurance in your teachings are priceless. I made some leaps in just a couple of weeks ... I wished millions could learn from you. A heartfelt THANK YOU!
Thank you so much. Really appreciate you sharing your story. Wonderful.
Another lifesaver video - reminding me to not obsess about solutions to TMS, rather than to understand the issue and know I am safe, and do normal
Well said.
I watched this today, after meeting up with friends in a cafe (hard seat, walked without a stick again - my new normal 🎉) and when I walked in, and they asked how are you Bridie as they always do, for the first time I was able to say I'm good and really feel it! How can this work so fast?! You are not only a blessing but a life changer. So grateful I came across you a few weeks ago, thank you.
Really glad the videos are helping you.
The poet laureate of Mind-Body issues. No one else has his gift of lucidity.
Because we constantly look outside of ourselves for a solution to our pain. It’s an inside job but that’s easier said than done. 🙏
Yes, it IS an inside job. But often a little guidance can help.

These messages are so important for us chronic pain sufferers. It makes perfect sense!! Ican relate my pain back to past trauma as I was in danger...now, that I am safe and more relaxed, I am not in as much pain and I am daily reinforcing safety messages to cope and doing better! Thanks again for sharing these messages and reassuring us of this truth.
You are very welcome.
Every time I feel deflated due to my physical condition, I listen to you and begin to trust myself gain. I wish i could talk to you daily then i feel that I will across the river of change.
I had a conversation with family that came to visit here in France.
They said: you look less preoccupied, less stressed etc..
I took that as a huge compliment.
And my strong belief is that if I continue to stay less stressed and preoccupied, my recovery will be inevitable !
Just writing ✍️ this down gives my system hope and a positive boost..
Almost as good as your daily message of safety Dan!
Have a lovely Tuesday you and everyone ❤
You can do this Inge. I believe in you.
Inge that is great. I am trying the same.
@@mollieanne well done Mollie!
You’re doing great! Have a wonderful Wednesday 👏🤗☀️☀️☀️
THAT'S REAL ENCOURAGEMENT, UNDENIABLE PROGRESS CHEERS@@Inge508
Thank you Mr. Dan. I discover your message few weeks ago and can feel that what you say is really how human mind works. Have been a serious spiritual seeker for long time, now this message makes it all so much clear and freeing my heart and soul. I love it how you bring it all to one direction every time and that it is not complicated or rational. Thank you so much for your presence and being willing to share this with us. Greetings from Slovenia. 💚😄
Thank you so much for your kind words. You are on the right path to recover.
That was so helpful to hear the story about your mom healing, and the brain healing after her stroke. You’re the best Dan! Thank You for everything! You’re such a source of peace and strength for me right now.
Dan, love the way you come at the same problem from multiple angles - it is really effective! I try to remember and even write down key phrases and concepts that really hit home with me. You are making a great difference in my life right now. Thank you and love you brother!
Happy to help! Keep at it. You are on the right path.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST. THANK YOU, DAN
Thank you Nancy.
Thank you! I listened to This twice .
I have digestive issues for 15 years now. 38 year old female.
Now started having vericose. Im very sensitive and Doctor ms says i have IBS.
Im listening to ur videos and feeling I might have the stress isuues causing all these. Thank you so much.
I hope things Will working out for me and this stomach problems will soon be ok
You are in the right place. A focus on teaching the brain safety is how so many people are reversing their symptoms. My fast start playlist is a great way to understand how all of this works and what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Noticing that we learn things without having to know how it happens is hugely helpful. Just turning our attention to our desire to learn is key. Being open and receptive to learning creates space for the desired outcome. I'm not a religious person but "ask and it shall be given" comes to mind. I've noticed this in so many other ways in my life. We try too hard to get an answer. Allowing solutions to unfold/appear and trusting that they will works much better. Relaxing into our life and trusting our ability to evolve and enjoy our growth is life changing. We're programmed to learn and grow.
Wonderful comment. Seriously.
Loved your comment so much!
Thanks for taking the time to write it down!
Happy healing ❤️🩹
Again thanks Dan, for making this so easy to follow! One other coach actuallly said to give the brain a bad nickname and sometimes yell at it to let pain go. Didn’t work, but since I began your approach, the first day my pain in hops and one buttock began to slowly ease off in afternoon. And it’s done that 3 times this week. Today may be a bit hard, my body reacts to weather changes, here in NZ, it’s the southerly (northerly in your area). But I have already talked to Mrs brain not to take notice of it.
Yesterday I saw one of your videos for the first time. Really appreciate your work. I am struggling with ulcerative colitis for a few years now. I know a lot but need to convince my brain to accept this knowledge. I feel like your channel will really help me to rewire my brain.
You got this! Stress suppresses digestion and immunity. That can allow something like UC to occur. Stressing out about a stress induced illness keeps the fire burning. Safety is the way. For a deeper dive:

@@PainFreeYou thank you for the comment. I'm looking forward to absorb the tms knowledge. Over the last two years I studied a lot into gnm which is german new medicine. It's pretty theoretical but highly recommend that aswell. There are a lot of simularities between those two protocols so I'm definetly convinced that tms will be a great addition for me. Especially to really change believes and feelings.
I read 2 healing stories of a man and woman in their 30ies who healed completely from your condition through mind/ body- work!
Can’t recall the links but remember there were a lot of repressed emotions in both case’s.
After having to take steroids In pills they had no success at all!
The Tms- approach got them well!
You can have such a result too!
All the best with your healing ❤️🩹
@@MrJulian1154 I am only slightly familiar with GNM but have not studied it deeply. From my perspective, teaching the brain we are safe can only yield positive results.
Hey Dan, I really appreciate your work! I just discovered it a few days ago and I'm already benefitting a lot from it. What a gift! I dont suffer from bodily pain, but on some days anxiety, rumination and mental noise are high - also related to perceived danger. I assume that the way you teach is also applicable to many mental health stuff. I'd appreciate a video about catastrophizing thoughts. Take care
Thanks Dan. Aother masterful presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m set back now from taking care of my 89 year old father for days. I didn’t have time to take care of my pain because I was focused on him while I was in pain still. Now I’m having a huge setback like starting my 5 year TMS journey all over again from the beginning. And the worst part is my 2 sisters had a home care company in place taking care of my dad without my knowledge. So I’m killing my ass and my sisters are healthy and hired a company to cover their turn. I’m done with toxic liars!!!!!
What a beautiful soul you are to take care of your daddy even with your pain! You can be so proud of yourself!
You will be able to look back at those good memories too!
Take good care of yourself in between now and don’t spike your symptoms with anger!
Your body / mind and soul needs calm and peace now❤
You are not starting over. While the pain may be back to past levels, you cannot forget what you have learned on the journey. Reset your mindset. Get clear you can pick up where you were before this recent turn of events that caused the pain to spike.

Good morning and thank you Dan. 😮
You are so welcome
You make such a good point. I guess I like the brain rewiring stuff because it seems more complex. Because it can't possibly be as simple as you make it. Do you get my point? That's why I like neural circuit pain more than perceived danger pain. Isn't that funny? I'm having this realization right now while typing.
That is the best news I’ve heard about the brain- mind in a long time. Thanks! ❤

I’ve been doing great so far this week with not adding fear and attention despite pretty strong upper back right side tension. Just going about my day with it.
What’s so strange is my brain perceives danger when I’m talking to people sometimes and it’ll flare up mid-conversation! Probably remnants from the last 7 months of severe anxiety I’m finally getting past. Going to meetings still flares me up bad as well. Pushing through with calm reassurance and no fear!
Perceived danger takes many forms. Teaching your brain you are safe in general is the way for it to all settle down.
The mid conversation thing happens to me a lot. Sometimes I can ignore it other times I usually say oh I have to go, appointment or something 🤔
Thank you - perception is reality, for the most part.
Indeed.
"Training the amygdala "😅 that made me laugh ( although i love GUPTA programme which uses this expression. But when you analyse it, its funny.
I am really glad you made this video. I have ups and downs and I am still dealing with a skin situation. At times this leads me to believe there is something wrong with ME and that's why I can't use this work to help my immune system (even though I overcame chronic pain with it in the past). Thank you again!
Yes, you absolutely CAN use this work. Stress/fear and being in the fight or flight response suppresses the immune system which can allow skin issues to develop. Teaching the brain safety will allow your immune system to resolve and the skin issues can clear up. You can do this. Check out my fast start playlist to see what's going on and what to do about it.

Thank you so much@@PainFreeYou
You are a God sent, thank you 🙂
Wow, thank you
Thanks again Dan!
Thank you for this..new to the channel. Will def look at your other videos. One thing I have to remind myself…not everything I think…is true! Lol
Much of what we all think is not true. haha

Thank you!
Thank you Dan!
Yep, 100%. This WORKS 🎉
Absolutely. Thank you for confirming.
Makes PERFECT sense!!!
Hi Dan. You mentioned this technique can help with depression and anxiety which can precipitate body pains. I'm wondering if you have any resources on how to apply this to mental health issues. I absolutely love and appreciate all of your videos. You put things in such a straightforward way, and don't make feeling better seem like such "work" I hope that makes sense 😊
Thanks.
You're welcome
Dear Dan
Have you had a chance to read more about the reactive mind? I do believe the brain is not the main issue in the whole equation.
What is the difference between the brain and the reactive mind or unconscious mind?
When one understand that the situation becomes a bit more clear I guess.....
I can’t take this fibromyalgia pain. Some blood work came bad but still I believe is this problem I have. Tensing so much has broken my nerve system
I deal with fibromyalgia- pains for more then 13 years now.
So I feel you!
Your suffering will get better once you stop making this pain- label your identity!And start to love and honor yourself deeply even with pain.
I’m not pain or symptom free yet but I don’t suffer anymore.
I do a lot of soothing self talk when pain flares high, and look at what emotions need to be felt.
Feel them and release them!
Mindset and beliefs are things you can influence greatly!
The pain will take care of itself!
Hold on and take positive actions!
Have a happy healing ❤️🩹
Drop the Fibro label. Many get well despite the diagnosis. Learn what is really causing the pain and what to do about it. Check out my fast start playlist to get a deeper dive into what is going on and what you can do about it all. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It is a mind body condition, and my life has improved by following Dan's concepts. Watch his Fast Start videos.😊
Totally agree ❤
easier said than done if all the correct data suggest that ur 24, have no social circle, never had a girlfriend, cant talk anything smart to people, and when u do i only gets worse every time.
short version: i was by cardiologist over a few years now because i always have back pain behind/in the heart, and the tests always said everything is fine so i just put it on back pain. probleme is every time i think about these situations, what i have achieved or clearly not, it really cuts my breath short and tenses the back up. so only solution is to kindda ignore my state of being and jump from one dopamine hit to the next
If you would like a deeper dive into what is going on and what you CAN do to improve your situation greatly, check out my Fast Start Playlist and watch over and over again. Take notes and most importantly, Implement. You can do this. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
Think you would really benefit from being compassionate with yourself ! Life and possibilities are open for you too.. change your mindset to be more positive about yourself and I assure you lovely things, people will pop up in your life too!
Wishing you a happy healing ❤️🩹
@@Inge508 thank you guys i will try but when the only thing u know is failing its hard to do something else
Hey Dan: Question here. What if we do send messages of safety to the brain but at some level (ego) we either know it’s not complwtwly true or we have that small amount of doubt?
But Dan, what if I wake up with an immediate sensation of anxiety and despair? I know it’s because I’m grieving and can’t get rid of those losses after two years now, and I have chronic pain which I know comes from my grief.
Then I take a shower and walk everyday, try to do a normal life but… my brain does not listen to me!
How should I teach my brain. Please help
TIA
Waking up that way isn't the problem. How we respond mentally, emotionally matter a LOT. ua-cam.com/video/psFuEqgE-d0/v-deo.html
My fear comes from noticing the symptom. It’s incredibly hard to choose not to fall into the fear loop trap when my sensations are high. Do I just need to convince myself more that my body is not broken?
I can relate. I finally got to the " I don't care" attitude; meeting every thought with "It's fine." That shortened the amount of time I was focusing on the symptoms and lowered the fear level. I met thoughts of frustration with "This is temporary and the best thing I can do is be indifferent." When I start to try and figure it out, I just say "It's fine." Dan has a lot of videos about how the attitude is the core thing. So I don't think you need more convincing that you are fine; just less focus, fear, frustration, and attempts to figure it out.
It's not "convincing" per se. It's doing the analysis to determine the fact that your brain is creating pain. Did you do the assessments on this page:

Hi there Dan! Question..can symptoms really ramp up when in the beginning…I am just wondering..as my brain could be wondering what’s going on? Just curious.. thank you so much for sharing everyday!! ❤
Hey Susan. Yes, pain can get worse when the brain perceives more danger. This video explains why symptoms can get worse after we find out about TMS/PDP.
ua-cam.com/video/LTbMVV-oT1I/v-deo.html
And also, Look for my video tomorrow. August 9th. It's titled "Why Did My Pain Get Worse?
Has anyone fully recovered from non diabetic foot neuropathy?
The location of the pain is irrelevant. Nerve pain is common and many recover. Scroll through the search results on my channel for neuropathy:

Hello, I have one question : how can you distinguish right and wrong information when itˋs not possible by the brain ? Thank you.
We can review the information presented and decide what feels most true to us.
DAN, DO YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO GIVE YOUR BRAIN CALM ASSURANCE ETC? ONCE THE BRAIN SEEMS TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PRACTICE INDIFFERENCE?
The only time I think about this personally is if I feel some type of twinge. That's when I'll remind myself that I'm fine. Otherwise, I focus on living my life. I don't think we need a daily routine.
THANKS, THAT'S GOOD NEWS WHEN WE PRACTICE CALM ASSURANCE.@@PainFreeYou
Stress causes gut issues ddude
Hi Dan! Do you offer 1:1 coaching? I’d love a session with you!!!
No, sorry. But I do have a great group program that offers the same information, WAY more support for less money. 4 opportunities a week for direct conversations with me. www.PainFreeYou.com/join
@@PainFreeYouThank you, unfortunately none of those times work with my work schedule as I live in BC.🤷🏻♀️
@@wendyjoy9481 We record all sessions and you can submit questions to be answered even if you are not on the call. Many still get value out of listening to replays and submitting questions. Just a thought.
Join the TMS dream team please! As a guy who has struggled with pelvic floor dysfunction I would love to see you interview Michael Hodge.
@PainFreeYou
I definitely watch ur other vids and i appreciate ur effort for helping us. But what's way worse is I've social anxiety disorder and it became so severe. My dad won't allow me to go to a psychiatrist. This is the first time I can't even get out of my house. My mind wants to be positive but I'm experiencing very fast heartbeats every day whenever I saw a person passing in my house or in the streets.I don't have any courage talking at strangers anymore. I'm a person who mumbles and stutters a lot. I did those without being nervous, imagine if I'm talking to strangers, the more I'll stutter, shaking of hands and mumble = embarrassment. Whats funny is im way more confident b4 in high-school and college than now, despite my speech defects. it really sucks bro.
Even your challenges are simply a result of your brain perceiving danger. The story you tell yourself is that other people are terrifying. What would happen if you changed your dominant thought to the FACT that being socially engaged is not dangerous?

@@PainFreeYou thanks so much brother for helping all of us and you're doing this for free. I appreciate it. I'll watch ur vid tomorrow because I'm gonna sleep now, I'm from Philippines BTW. Some told me to do 4-7-8 breathing to reduce palpitations, but my palpitations are still very strong. My involuntary reaction is still the same against these strangers. Stay blessed brother
