So many recovery stories coming out these days, like an explosion in recent times and so much information on this TMS stuff these days, we live in good times in some respect.
Such a great story to hear. Struggled to leave the house, gut issues. Walk in the park and my ankle starts giving out. Roll of the eyes and a bit of overthinking but sent message to my brain, it's PDP TMS. Pain went and I continued walking. Me today feeling" terrified" of everything but wondering wtf is going on. Hearing the "steps" episode resonated. I'm still waiting to feel joyful but onwards I go. Definitely going to join the group in November. Tears just watching this. Big thanks to you both. So appreciated.
What a great story. When he spoke of being afraid to sit, but not afraid to lift weights --- that's me! I could only eat at restaurants that had a tall bar, so I could stand while my hubby sat. But, I was still able to do chores and walk 10k+ steps/day! Thankfully, I am back to sitting (any chair, any time). Martin has such a joyful manner. I feel really blessed to hear his story today. Thanks to both of you.
Thank you Martin for sharing your story! Congratulations on moving on with your life (and moving out of our group). It's both sad and joyful to see someone who you know has struggled be able to overcome PDP and get their life back and more. Thank you for sharing your wins, your wisdom and your questions with us as we all learned from your experiences. You will be missed, I wish the best this world has to bring to you along with peace and love. You have so got this!!! 🤗❤
Your awesome Martin, thank you for never giving up. Thank you for sharing your story, you will give so many hope. Thank you Dan for all you do for all of us, your so amazing .
I can totally relate! Know Martin well from Wed Group Call. Great to see his success. I like him find myself wanting to take a walk have a drink etc with other members. I love the TMS Greatest Hits lol. So true for me! Congrats Martin!
Dan and Martin, this was a GREAT interview!!! I found it so inspiring and helpful. Not sure if it was because Martin was part of our group, but wow! I know this is going to help me as I continue this journey as well as when I recover!! Thank you both! Martin so so excited for you!!! LOVE that you're living your life and now you have the strong foundation that will SERVE you the rest of your life.
What a lovely surprise to find Martin's success story, I really need it today, im struggling with over thinking, memory loss, and symptoms all over my body, so thank you Dan and Martin for keeping me hopeful, for the last 4 days, my spirits have been quite low as you say you carnt share how your feeling and dealing with things, it helps to know you aren't the only one who gets all these unusual things happening, like Martin says not daring to go up the steps ext, I'm doing my best to get back on path as iv got a holiday arranged next week, and I'm trying to stop the worry about loosing my memory and not getting right in time and spoiling the holiday for others, so iv been very grateful for all the support and encouragement iv received since Friday, 🕊️🤗🙏
Unfortunately it was some one put me in a position that meant explaining part of my past, I didn't think I'd be affected by that other wise I would have just said I'd rather not discuss it ☹️ wishing you lots of progress too RB🍀
Thank you Martin and Dan! Wonderful to hear a great recovery story. I can so relate to sitting! The stress a simple chair can bring on! Hopefully one day soon I will have the light switch on and be free of pain ♥️🐾
Congratulations Martin! Really appreciate all of these success stories as they all comfort, encourage, and confirm the deeper insights that I am experiencing in my own journey. I’m glad he acknowledged that the process IS hard. When things are tough, it’s easy to assume that our journey is harder than everyone else’s, and this is not true or fair. It IS hard but it’s the way out and worth it. Big win this weekend. Flew to San Diego with my family to attend a conference. Spent a day at Seaworld. Then my 7 year old, 4 year old, and 4 month old all got sick so I missed part of the conference to take care of them in the hotel. Symptoms were there and continue to be but I am back to working remotely today. And I’m fine because I am learning to care less! Amazing what one is capable of when you have the clarity and accurate knowledge of what is going on. Like Martin, I am noticing shifts in that if something flares up, I can actually influence it to move along and go away because the fear has lessened substantially. Implementing the knowledge is becoming like a game now.
Amazing, thanks for sharing Martin. This has really helped deepen my understanding again. Easily triggered fear-pain pathway I hear you! Despair, sadness...yes...fear is the biggy for me as some of the symptoms are so difficult to necessarily believe could be TMS/PDP. Dan the reminder about the original symptom settling only for a heightened system to create pain in other places from a hyped up NS is something I needed to hear again, so thank you!
Such a helpful success story. I’ve been using your videos to help move beyond long term chronic back pain. Now have chronic pain in feet and I know it’s PDP moving to a different place. Thank you for sharing your story Martin 👍
Martin I’m so pleased you are living your life pain free! Such a wonderful surprise to see you on the success story today! What a great 👍🏼 success -you’ve totally got this! You have the mindset and the toolkit! I know whatever comes your way you will be able to cope and remain free from the limitations that PDP can create! I loved being in the group it’s you -I wish you well Martin - I know you don’t need those wishes … you’ve got this 100 💯 So inspiring for others to hear including myself! I’ve learnt so so much from being in the group - as you know Martin I’ve just left too.. it’s amazing I’ve found that inner determination you spoke of! I’ll check that video out you mentioned! Thank you for this fabulous positive share! Dan you are truly awesome 👏 your teachings are making such a difference to the lives of many! Big Thank you 🙏 Dan 🌟
Great interview with Martin, really insightful and articulated his journey so well. I found it very helpful as I am recovering and its reassuring that its a process and has its own timeline to fully recover. Martin I just want wish you a lifetime of great health and happiness. ☘☘
Hi Dan. Thank you for the great success story, what a wonderful uplifting message. I have a question about the symptom imperative. If the symptom imperative is now sinusitis should a person not take anything to treat it such as nasal sprays or anti-inflammatories as it will send the wrong message to the brain if I am correct. Is it best to just ignore these symptoms?
I never suggest we ignore symptoms. That's impossible. If you are sure it's TMS and can do without the remedies, then that may be best. But if the remedies provide you relief, view them as self kindness and compassion and not a cure.
Congrats Martin 🎉 on your health!! Thank you Martin & Dan for the success stories!! I am receiving so much from these interviews you produce ☀️✨ Martin I'm on a similar time frame of recovery, since April '22...& my latest "greatest hit" has been in pain in one foot... but I can say now it's prob been a week since I had that 🙌... may I ask, what did your foot pain feel like?
Thank you for sharing Dan🙏 I'm struggling with dizziness everyday and sometimes nauseous. I really try to be indifferent, and doing things i want. I also meet with friends sometimes. It is very challenging, not to focus on the symptoms, when feeling nauseous and dizzy, and feeling sick all the time. Everything has been ruled out by doctors Have you any idea how to deal with such uncomfortable symptoms
Remind yourself that there is nothing physically wrong that is causing the symptoms. Confidence it's TMS/Perceived danger creating them. And KNOW that when you teach the brain you are safe, they will fade away. Minimize the symptoms as much as possible in your mind.
I believe the video Martin referred to is; "Chronic Pain got you down? Don't get depressed, get determined". Just watched, somehow I'd missed it! (Think I was struck by COVID at the time)🙄
Most of my success stories do not wish to be contacted to answer questions. That's why they only use their first names. Feel free to ask a question here and I'm sure I can answer it for you.
@@PainFreeYou I was wondering if he did anything for muscle imbalances/posture and how it turned out since he has no more foot pain. Because for me one leg always feels either shorter or taking different strides and I worry about that a lot, about fixing that. Or if it just naturally fixed itself when he practiced safety messages. Thanks Dan!
To my recollectioin, he did not. Neither did I. I had the worst imbalances. You can see a picture of how twisted I was from imbalances by going to PainFreeYou.com and scrolling down to see my picture. I did not proactively do anything to realign my body. Once the pain left, those imbalances straightened out on their own. @@publicname515
Hey Dan, what do you do when you have seen some improvement but are struggling to get to 100% of the way. This is my case, I KNOW I have TMS I’m not struggling with belief now I’m torn between doing more work and doing less work. Some people say do more (journaling, meditation etc), some people say do less (just ignore it and it will eventually go away). I’m just not sure what to do, more work or less work. I’ve only done your approach and reading MBP and im looking to completely kick my foot pain (TMS) to the curb
The way is to teach your brain you're safe. Putting things in place doesn't send that message. If you're gonna have a walk, have a walk don't think of it as a "healing" fix. Wishing you well. Maybe check out Dan's other videos.
Physical treatments are generally a bad idea because they convince the brain your body is the problem. TMS/PDP means the brain is creating symptoms due to perceived, not actual danger. The solution lies in teaching the brain that we are okay.

Maybe the forthcoming holiday is triggering today's symptoms. Wishing you a pain free week. You can do this.

It's not a light switch. It's a gradual dimmer dial. Over time you will get more and more confident and calm.

Yes. Difficult, but possible and totally worth it. Staying stuck is harder.
Brilliant video thanks both, great to see these success stories that really resonate with so many of us!
You are quite welcome.

Put the feet in the same category of "not concerned" as you did the back pain. The solution is all the same.
Amazing to hear this Martin, brother! Well done…
Glad you enjoyed it

It will go away when you don't care when or IF it will go away.

TMS/PDP is like a Pandora's box 🙄😂. The key to shut it is calm, clarity & consistency.
Where are you based?
I'm in Pennsylvania but I work with people around the world.
Have ever seen eye pain recovery?
Is it a bad idea to seek comfort from something to try and ease the pain such as taking a walk, pain pill, heating pad, etc.
