I had a very interesting experience with this. My 84-year old friend got COVID. On the phone, she told me that she felt very bad and might not make it. I went to see her and found her responding to the bell, standing in the door frame and talking to me with the same vigour as usual. In the end, I simply told her that though she might feel lousy, she looked rather well and had no shortness of breath at all, and that I thought she had a mild case. She lit up and fully recovered within 5 days (and told me that I had saved her life). Bless her. ❤ It’s incredible what the mind can do.
If my grandma could return she would SOO agree with you Dan! And say:’ the best mental exercise is practicing CALMNESS, the best physical exercise is doing normal things: walk, run, jump, instead of sitting, laying or standing too long..’ That combined with releasing old stuff, counting your blessings,being grateful,being content with what you have, have healthy thoughts and behaviors, lovely interactions with people, and good food. She became a happy healthy 96 year old, so I look forward to apply your and her approach for the long good future that lays in front of me! Have a good weekend with your mom Dan!and everyone else too! 🌻🤗🌻🤗

I’m still trusting in Jesus even though I’m still struggling putting groceries in the refrigerator, and paying bills. I’m a single mother. Like many others, I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband is in heaven with God. I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are autistic, and non verbal so they require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle, a battle to not end up on the streets. Im so tired and I want to give up. BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has this far. Thank you Jesus. I BELIEVE. Faith over fear!

Just spent the whole weekend out drinking and eating whatever I want with 0 fatigue or symptoms. Keep up the good work mate
Pausing to comment on the part where you mentioned a client's TMS symptoms decreasing during a bout of viral illness. One of the great indicators of PDP for myself was that the week my beloved cat was in ICU, I had ZERO SIJ pain. After he passed away, the pain returned. I now understand that my mind was solely focused on worrying and caring for him. I am still deeply saddened by the loss, but I am grateful for yet more evidence that I am approaching this correctly. Thank you!
I'm sorry about your loss. Yes, use that experience as evidence that there's not a thing wrong with your body. Now teach your brain safety. ua-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/v-deo.html
I got Covid during the first wave, March 2020. Suffering from a long list of horrible symptoms, combined with the whole unknown (will I survive) and social distancing (being alone at home for weeks), caused both my body and mind to freak out. Very realistic in my situation, but I'm certain that I could've avoided or shortened my over a year of Long Covid if I wouldn't have had such fear about it all. I actually had Covid two months ago and, although also physical symptoms being milder although still bothersome, knowing about TMS and my nervous system and trying to stay calm and trusting my body, I am now getting back to my old self already.
@14 53 - if your lungs have been evaluated by a doctor and are of no concern to the doctor, then the shortness of breath will go away when you know it's TMS/a Perceived Danger Response and dial down your fear.
Fear suppresses the immune system. All viruses can leave post viral symptoms. All we can do is eat healthy and go live. My GP says has to be 4months plus. I was left with sinus and throat issues. Took another three months to feel normal. Got covid again along with a bacterial infection, same issues again but I know it'll clear and on the plus side my antibodies will protect me this winter.

I had Covid March of 21, the original strain and it was very scary for 14 days, a constant fever. But my body did its job and every day the fever was there trying to rid my body of the virus. The isolation, the news and feeling like crap was not fun but I knew my body would do it's miraculous job of protecting me. Fear wreaks havoc. And by the way, did anyone notice at around 25 seconds of the video that a band of deer ran right on your property line in the trees? Man I really miss the northeast!! Thanks for making another great video my friend.
I was really better for a few days, to the point that I was almost scared to watch your videos again ( fear to be triggered ) and that made me feel guilty because you have always been there for me. Yesterday night TMS hit me again pretty hard out of the blue so guess what? here again, no guilt and happy you are there..I will be better again!
The Harvard study fits me to a T. I was tms ing in the months prior to my covid. Jan Of 22. Then i spiraled outa countrol. Fatigued dizzy numbness etc etc. all on off. With Dan s help and these confirmations im on the right path. Worry stress panic anxiety are all words for FEAR. Unless one was damaged by covid LC IS!!!! TMS PDP.
Yes! I was totally prepared for COVID before I got it. Even with all my knowledge and preparation, I still succumbed to the FEAR. And I KNOW the fear is what actually made it worse than it should’ve been. Safety is the solution 👏🏻💕
Symptoms come and go , somedays I can run and feel totally fine, other days I could feel conpletly fatigued and tierd where I can’t do anything, that’s evidence that it is Tms and not a real damage from covid
Absolutely love your content and videos, Dan. I’ve been listening more and more and trying to implement your strategies. However in regards to LC, I’ve had it now for 16 months. I was never worried about getting it, and was never worried about covid. But third infection actually rocked me. Symptoms I never thought I would experience, lot of mental health issues, severe depression, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, brain fog, derealization, insomnia, along with the physical fatigue and pots symptoms. It’s taken me so much work and time to even get to this point. But I still struggle with brain fog and derealization. I had to seek help for the other stuff ended up medication all sorts of stuff. I do acupuncture which helps and diet changes. However my question is, I realize I am ok and not broken like you say, but it is hard to live like this mentally and pretend it’s not real? So to say it’s all psychological in my opinion is maybe half way true, but there’s obviously some physiological and physical things that happened inside the body, likely due to inflammation or spike protein, over reactive immune system. I wouldn’t say I chose that if that makes sense. That being said I do like your approach to teaching the brain it’s safe. I guess the question is, how do we shut off this over reactive immune system? A lot of people say it’s just time. But I do fully believe mentally there is a way out. Anyway thanks for the video and all your work I enjoy listening!
I lost my brother and two cousins to Covid. and my husband was diagnosed with cancer at the same time. He is in a good place now but i have great fear of covid😞 I take precautions but know my fear of it is taking away any joy I have. That on top of my tms symptoms…overwhelming
Covid may have played a role in my heart attack. It is not trivial. What needs to happen is neither denial nor catastrophizing. I am sorry for your loss.
I never get sick, but I did in January 2022. I assumed it was the flu. I went on to develop POTS, fatigue, cognitive issues, brain fog, vision problems, etc. I attributed all of this to a car accident I was in in 2020. Now, I'm almost certain all of those symptoms were a direct result of getting covid. In February of this year, 2024, I suddenly developed venous insufficiency in my legs. Since then, over the past 3 months, veins are bulging in my arms, hips, lower abdomen, hands, fingers, up my sides near my ribs, and in my legs & feet. The veins are spreading and new ones are bulging by the day. I did some research and found long covid reddit threads full of people experiencing the EXACT same thing. None of us have gotten any answers as to what is causing this. Every doctor I've been to tells me "it's normal because you're thin", as if I'm some moron that was born yesterday and doesn't know what my own body looks like. My friends and family are just as concerned as I am and clearly notice the change in my veins as they are rapidly getting worse by the day. It's hard for me to believe long covid is simply TMS or PDP. There is definitely something physically going on in my body to cause such a sudden increase in vein dilation. Again, not a single doctor, including my VEIN specialist, has any idea what's going on. My vein specialist told me point blank that they're never seen this before. I'm at a total loss and have no idea what to do. I'm scared out of my mind.
I’m so glad you finally addressed this. My fear is what the vaccines have done and will do. It’s been hard to not have anxiety and to feel safe. Though I am clear that is what’s making me sick.
I agree, there is much fear around the entire thing including the shots. Whether or not they are involved in you feeling sick is unknown. What I can say is that fear is not your friend here. What if your fear is what is creating and keeping symptoms going? Calm is always a better strategy whether there are legitimate issues at play or not.
Allergies caused my dry eye syndrome. Allergies to dust mites respond to placebo. There is a conditioned response. Long covid is a conditioned response in part.
I wish they made more articles about saying long covid is Tms or a mind body condition, but instead they don’t want to label people as crazy, so they say shit like it’s lingering virus or covid stuck in blood, stupid articles like this made me almost kill my self, they don’t realise how much they can make people believe them. I think maybe there isn’t much articles on long covid being purely mental because of stigmatisation
I had a relapse seeing a stupid article about the Theories explaining long covid Saying microclots could be causing it, I went backward reading that , can you please help me with this
This was me! I had Covid last month and all my regular TMS symptoms "mysteriously" disappeared for a week... and returned once my Covid symptoms went away. No coincidence there ha!
Hi ! (Disclaimer : I can only talk about my own long covid experience and therefore can't make claims about the illness in generall) I've had TMS (lower back pain) and I treated it almost overnight some years ago simply by understanding and recognizing what was going on. Now I've experienced long covid and I must say, I think it has a huge mind/body component, but I truly think it's not TMS. What I believe to be true : something physical (can't be by-passed or turned off by the mind) makes the autonomic nervous system extremely fragile/irritable. Now your thoughts are going to be instrumental, in order to calm the nervous system down and avoid it running wild. And obviously, if you're already anxious, having a fragile nervous system is going to be a bigger issue. I also think a lot of people maintain or nurture the illness (just like in TMS) with their reaction and their inability to calm down. But I think it's a "real" physically caused illness. Some thoughts/arguments : - It didn't go away instantly, it took some time and was progressive, just like skin that's healing from a scratch. - Paying attention to the symptoms never made it worse (except if that made me panick), quite to the contrary, it payed dividends to listen to the flare-up signs and detect and avoid the triggers. - Adapting your life to your condition and limitations has helped, instead of furthering and solidifying the illness, like it was the case with TMS. - Accepting that you're ill and that it's okay, that it simply will take a bit of time as you treat your condition, is what made me better. The resume-your-normal-life approach of TMS, despite the mental conditioning, the positivity, the belief, has always led to flare-ups. So the mechanism of my long covid seems to be different from what I've experienced with TMS. That being said, a lot of the TMS doctrine still applies (and I think that's why many people think long covid is TMS). Hope/belief (placebo-effect) for instance is still a key part of getting better. Switching the focus from the physical to the mental aspect too, even if there is to be a physical cause to the condition. Finally, fear is bringing you down big time, mainly because of how it's negatively affecting your nervous system. Thanks for reading Patrice from Québec
Hello Heat and hello Dan! Correct me if i am wrong. I have long covid too. I hear many stories. Some people have lc for 6 months and some people for more than 2.5 years. Why this difference in time? I think (my theory) lc is a severe tms sympton. Too muchs stres for such a long time and the virus was the match to set the gasoline on fire..If i have tms in my finger and i choose to FEAR LESS instead of freaking out it can fade away pretty fast. But i think lc is a more severe TMS sympton. I had so much stres in my life when i got covid after covid i developed lc. I think my lc will fade away faster with time if i choose a non panic respond to the symptons and by believing it is my terrified brain creating the symptons instead of freaking out. I don't want to live 3 years with these symptons so i have to choose a good respond to the symptons to let it fade away faster. Is it ok to think this way Dan?
My anxiety and vagus nerve is so bad. When i go out in my car or public stores. I get immediate shortness of breathe and super stimulated. I dont understand...
Your brain is perceiving danger and symptoms are the result. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html The solution is to teach the brain that you are safe: ua-cam.com/video/Ez9Ez49M8Ig/v-deo.html
Hey Dan, I have severe CFS as my tms symptoms. Basically it's like having the flu, hang over and jetlag all at once. It's alot like covid. I actually got covid a few months ago and honestly at first didn't even know I had it cos it was Basically more of the same symptoms 😅. I'm so glad I found your videos and some NLP stuff shortly b4 getting covid as I was sooo much less freaked than I would have been (there us so much fear in cfs community's about getting covid ontop of their symptoms and getting worse) I really had to let go of that. Also, alot of ppl who have "cfs" were stressed and/or have the typical personality traits then something happens that is the cherry on top and causes symptoms to arise -for many its getting some sort of virus etc. So the link between cfs and Ling covid (just in my opinion ) seems super similar...like I actually wonder if long covid is just cfs, and cfs is actually just tms 🤣🤣😅 it's crazy ! Also I've heard alot of recovery stories with both cfs, long covid AND typical tms symptoms doing some sort of work like brain retraining courses or tms approaches and fully recovering, so that Harvard study is awesome as is more proof we can improve and recover with these approaches 🦄
@@ezza1236 thanks ezza 🦄 yes soo important the most important thing I'm learning is how much fear of the symptoms has kept me stuck, slowly working thru this each day 🤣 all the best to u
This is the video I think that will finally heal me My fear was always that I had a delta strain, does that even matter Dan ? It’s all the same, even if it’s a bit of harder strain, some how I believed that because I had delta, it meant that my long covid was forever
Hi Dan, I am loving your videos, and I’m working on applying them. This is the first video, though that I’ve ran into that you really are not educated enough to speak on. Although I agree with your concept of the fear, there’s a whole Nother component, what happened to millions of others that were vaccine injured and never even I’ve had Covid in four years, but yet have been in bed, literally incapacitated. And yes, I’m going to use your mind body healing technique. Because I think I can apply regardless. But just for a little background, you can throw your Harvard study in the garbage!! Don’t tell people to read the Harvard study. All those university studies are funded by the pharmaceutical companies and the government. The word long Covid became a term that the pharmaceutical companies ad medical institutions had to adopt because they cannot explain away all the vaccine injuries. So Bing everybody who was vaccinated also got Covid. They named this new element long Covid because they didn’t wanna call it vaccine injury or people would not keep getting the horrible vaccine the cause so many deaths, heart attacks strokes, seizures, brain, fog, menstrual problems still burst, migraines, and 715 other adverse effects that the pharmaceutical companies had discovered during the first six months of trials before they released it. Then they went ahead and they released it anyway. Cove it was a bio weapon and the vaccine was the actual pandemic not the virus. The FDA was sued by a nonprofit called I can. They said the FDA to release the pre-trial documents about 1.5 million pages. Pfizer and Moderna refused to release these pre-trial studies for 75 years. So this group sued the FDA because they had all of the pre-trial data. A Judge force the FDA to release those documents. 2300 scientists and medical doctors have just completed a 2 1/2 yoreview of all those documents. All 715 of those adverse effects, including death we’re known before they released the vaccine and they went ahead and did it anyway. All for profit and control
Dan!! I had a question regarding my recovery; I’ve had trouble with my energy levels in the past and I’m still in the state of ‘needing a nap’ during my day. I try to get out of it as I know that it’a fueled by fear of not having enough energy if I don’t take a nap, but I’m failing until now and fall asleep on the couch at least one time per day. Any advice?
Do your best to change your story about your energy levels. And if you don't want to fall asleep on the couch, keep moving. I take naps sometimes too. Nothing wrong with that.

Hello Elfi did you had shortness of breath too? If the answer is yes how long did it take to go away?

In February of this year, 2024, I suddenly developed venous insufficiency in my legs. Since then, over the past 3 months, veins are bulging in my arms, hips, lower abdomen, hands, fingers, up my sides near my ribs, and in my legs & feet. The veins are spreading and new ones are bulging by the day.
I did some research and found long covid reddit threads full of people experiencing the EXACT same thing. None of us have gotten any answers as to what is causing this.
Every doctor I've been to tells me "it's normal because you're thin", as if I'm some moron that was born yesterday and doesn't know what my own body looks like. My friends and family are just as concerned as I am and clearly notice the change in my veins as they are rapidly getting worse by the day.
It's hard for me to believe long covid is simply TMS or PDP. There is definitely something physically going on in my body to cause such a sudden increase in vein dilation. Again, not a single doctor, including my VEIN specialist, has any idea what's going on. My vein specialist told me point blank that they're never seen this before. I'm at a total loss and have no idea what to do. I'm scared out of my mind.
I’m so glad you finally addressed this. My fear is what the vaccines have done and will do. It’s been hard to not have anxiety and to feel safe. Though I am clear that is what’s making me sick.
I agree, there is much fear around the entire thing including the shots. Whether or not they are involved in you feeling sick is unknown. What I can say is that fear is not your friend here. What if your fear is what is creating and keeping symptoms going? Calm is always a better strategy whether there are legitimate issues at play or not.
Good points Dan! Thank you.
My pleasure!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Allergies caused my dry eye syndrome. Allergies to dust mites respond to placebo. There is a conditioned response. Long covid is a conditioned response in part.
Indeed.
Harvard should actually say it how it is, it's TMS
They did without saying it. LOL
@@PainFreeYou pharma won't approve 😜
@@1STLUCKYB yep
I wish they made more articles about saying long covid is Tms or a mind body condition, but instead they don’t want to label people as crazy, so they say shit like it’s lingering virus or covid stuck in blood, stupid articles like this made me almost kill my self, they don’t realise how much they can make people believe them. I think maybe there isn’t much articles on long covid being purely mental because of stigmatisation
I had a relapse seeing a stupid article about the Theories explaining long covid
Saying microclots could be causing it, I went backward reading that , can you please help me with this
This was me! I had Covid last month and all my regular TMS symptoms "mysteriously" disappeared for a week... and returned once my Covid symptoms went away. No coincidence there ha!
That's great proof there's nothing wrong with your body. Use that hard evidence to dial down your fear of the TMS stuff.
Hi ! (Disclaimer : I can only talk about my own long covid experience and therefore can't make claims about the illness in generall)
I've had TMS (lower back pain) and I treated it almost overnight some years ago simply by understanding and recognizing what was going on. Now I've experienced long covid and I must say, I think it has a huge mind/body component, but I truly think it's not TMS.
What I believe to be true : something physical (can't be by-passed or turned off by the mind) makes the autonomic nervous system extremely fragile/irritable. Now your thoughts are going to be instrumental, in order to calm the nervous system down and avoid it running wild. And obviously, if you're already anxious, having a fragile nervous system is going to be a bigger issue. I also think a lot of people maintain or nurture the illness (just like in TMS) with their reaction and their inability to calm down. But I think it's a "real" physically caused illness.
Some thoughts/arguments :
- It didn't go away instantly, it took some time and was progressive, just like skin that's healing from a scratch.
- Paying attention to the symptoms never made it worse (except if that made me panick), quite to the contrary, it payed dividends to listen to the flare-up signs and detect and avoid the triggers.
- Adapting your life to your condition and limitations has helped, instead of furthering and solidifying the illness, like it was the case with TMS.
- Accepting that you're ill and that it's okay, that it simply will take a bit of time as you treat your condition, is what made me better. The resume-your-normal-life approach of TMS, despite the mental conditioning, the positivity, the belief, has always led to flare-ups.
So the mechanism of my long covid seems to be different from what I've experienced with TMS. That being said, a lot of the TMS doctrine still applies (and I think that's why many people think long covid is TMS). Hope/belief (placebo-effect) for instance is still a key part of getting better. Switching the focus from the physical to the mental aspect too, even if there is to be a physical cause to the condition. Finally, fear is bringing you down big time, mainly because of how it's negatively affecting your nervous system.

Hello Heat and hello Dan! Correct me if i am wrong. I have long covid too. I hear many stories. Some people have lc for 6 months and some people for more than 2.5 years. Why this difference in time? I think (my theory) lc is a severe tms sympton. Too muchs stres for such a long time and the virus was the match to set the gasoline on fire..If i have tms in my finger and i choose to FEAR LESS instead of freaking out it can fade away pretty fast. But i think lc is a more severe TMS sympton. I had so much stres in my life when i got covid after covid i developed lc. I think my lc will fade away faster with time if i choose a non panic respond to the symptons and by believing it is my terrified brain creating the symptons instead of freaking out. I don't want to live 3 years with these symptons so i have to choose a good respond to the symptons to let it fade away faster. Is it ok to think this way Dan?
You’re so right.😊
I have zero fear of COVID or long COVID at this point thanks to you and TMS/PDP. Thank you!
Beautiful.
My anxiety and vagus nerve is so bad. When i go out in my car or public stores. I get immediate shortness of breathe and super stimulated. I dont understand...
Your brain is perceiving danger and symptoms are the result. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
The solution is to teach the brain that you are safe:

Hey Dan, I have severe CFS as my tms symptoms. Basically it's like having the flu, hang over and jetlag all at once. It's alot like covid. I actually got covid a few months ago and honestly at first didn't even know I had it cos it was Basically more of the same symptoms 😅. I'm so glad I found your videos and some NLP stuff shortly b4 getting covid as I was sooo much less freaked than I would have been (there us so much fear in cfs community's about getting covid ontop of their symptoms and getting worse) I really had to let go of that.
Also, alot of ppl who have "cfs" were stressed and/or have the typical personality traits then something happens that is the cherry on top and causes symptoms to arise -for many its getting some sort of virus etc.
So the link between cfs and Ling covid (just in my opinion ) seems super similar...like I actually wonder if long covid is just cfs, and cfs is actually just tms 🤣🤣😅 it's crazy !
Also I've heard alot of recovery stories with both cfs, long covid AND typical tms symptoms doing some sort of work like brain retraining courses or tms approaches and fully recovering, so that Harvard study is awesome as is more proof we can improve and recover with these approaches 🦄
CFS, long covid, TMS is pretty much all the same stuff. Tomorrows video "All Symptoms are a Perceived Danger Response" will summarize my thoughts.
@@PainFreeYou looking foward to watching it 🙌🦄
Awesome comment, I’m finding as time goes by I don’t freak out soo much and the symptoms don’t come as often
@@ezza1236 thanks ezza 🦄 yes soo important the most important thing I'm learning is how much fear of the symptoms has kept me stuck, slowly working thru this each day 🤣 all the best to u
This is the video I think that will finally heal me
My fear was always that I had a delta strain, does that even matter Dan ? It’s all the same, even if it’s a bit of harder strain, some how I believed that because I had delta, it meant that my long covid was forever
If you no longer test positive, the virus is gone. Remaining symptoms have become learned.
Hi Dan,
I am loving your videos, and I’m working on applying them. This is the first video, though that I’ve ran into that you really are not educated enough to speak on.
Although I agree with your concept of the fear, there’s a whole Nother component, what happened to millions of others that were vaccine injured and never even I’ve had Covid in four years, but yet have been in bed, literally incapacitated. And yes, I’m going to use your mind body healing technique. Because I think I can apply regardless. But just for a little background, you can throw your Harvard study in the garbage!! Don’t tell people to read the Harvard study. All those university studies are funded by the pharmaceutical companies and the government. The word long Covid became a term that the pharmaceutical companies ad medical institutions had to adopt because they cannot explain away all the vaccine injuries.
So Bing everybody who was vaccinated also got Covid. They named this new element long Covid because they didn’t wanna call it vaccine injury or people would not keep getting the horrible vaccine the cause so many deaths, heart attacks strokes, seizures, brain, fog, menstrual problems still burst, migraines, and 715 other adverse effects that the pharmaceutical companies had discovered during the first six months of trials before they released it. Then they went ahead and they released it anyway. Cove it was a bio weapon and the vaccine was the actual pandemic not the virus. The FDA was sued by a nonprofit called I can. They said the FDA to release the pre-trial documents about 1.5 million pages. Pfizer and Moderna refused to release these pre-trial studies for 75 years. So this group sued the FDA because they had all of the pre-trial data. A Judge force the FDA to release those documents. 2300 scientists and medical doctors have just completed a 2 1/2 yoreview of all those documents. All 715 of those adverse effects, including death we’re known before they released the vaccine and they went ahead and did it anyway. All for profit and control
Dan!! I had a question regarding my recovery; I’ve had trouble with my energy levels in the past and I’m still in the state of ‘needing a nap’ during my day. I try to get out of it as I know that it’a fueled by fear of not having enough energy if I don’t take a nap, but I’m failing until now and fall asleep on the couch at least one time per day. Any advice?
Do your best to change your story about your energy levels. And if you don't want to fall asleep on the couch, keep moving. I take naps sometimes too. Nothing wrong with that.
@@PainFreeYou thank you so much, for your videos in general too!
This didn't age well. look up what spike protein does to your blood vessels and nervous system
Much of "long covid" is a perceived danger response. We are seeing more and more success stories using a mindbody approach. Scroll through my playlist and you will find the long covid success stories. PainFreeYouSuccess.com
Oh, and the spike protein is from the vax way more than Covid itself.
