Thanks Dan. Terrified. But trying to stay calm. Everything is so flared up. I know the cause. But man it’s so hard. Thanks for being here. Everyday. It something to count on when everything else feels so lost❤
First and foremost, thank you for showing up every day and helping all of us accomplish what we want to achieve. It seems as though you know what’s going on all the time! Colorful symptoms abound in my life. You are the best. I will see you tomorrow. thank you again for showing up. We all need you!
@Inge508 Another great quote. I love them. They help brighten my day. Thanks. Hope you and Hubby had a quiet relaxing Christmas. Have a wonderful day.💞
@@SusieV59🙏❤️ I know how difficult these days can feel emotionally as well, thinking and missing loved ones. Sending you a big compassionate hugSusie. Have a good day❤
Dr. Claire Weekes calls this the “second fear.” In other words, we cannot control the presence of the first fear sensations. Those are automatic. The second fear comes in when we react to the first fear. How we respond to the first fear determines whether or not we feed the second fear and is under our control.
I pushed fear down my entire life to survive (trauma) and thrive (career). It worked. Went numb to feelings at some point. I’m beginning to face those feelings now. It’s hard work. It’s scary. But I believe it is THE work. Im convinced my body will feel fine once I face and allow fear and other emotions as passing. Not something to be stuffed down. It will pass. But in the meantime really facing your fears can be real freaking scary! I just keep reminding myself I’m in a safe place now. Getting there…
I've processed a lot of repressed emotions in the last 2 years, often doubting that I could really get past my mind/body symptoms. However, now I'm starting to really understand on an emotional level that the symptoms I have are not dangerous, so I'm much less afraid of them and thinking about them less and less as days go by. So, I agree, that learning to better accept my emotions has been crucial for me. Learning that they are not dangerous, that they will come and go if I allow them to. It is a process though. But now I feel much more confident that I can rewire my brain to stop the symptoms. I feel like my logical/thinking brain is coming back online, so I can better respond to my fears and other emotions.
@@jim8779thanks for your reply. ❤ I’ve been through a few rounds of ‘peeling the onion’ of my trauma brain with a great therapist. It’s very layered! I’m hopeful I’ve gotten to the thick of it now and I’m working on the balance of allowing fear yet knowing it’s not dangerous. It’s nice to explain this to someone who’s been through it because otherwise I’m sure it’s impossible to understand! It’s very difficult but important work. Congrats on getting to the other side! I’m feeling good I’m headed that way. 👍
@@reneea6357 Thank you. I'm not without symptoms yet, but I feel like I'm on my way. I'm not an expert, but it sure sounds to me like you are on the right path!
I imagine driving, taking a wrong turn, and in stead of hitting the breaks, stopping all the traffic behind you, making an annoyingly difficult turn in the middle of the road, you instead keep driving, and take another right turn in the direction that you wanted to go, it might have been a detour, but you will get there eventually. And more smooth than when you hit the breaks in the middle of the road. ❤
So sorry to hear Lenneke... ❤ Can you try look for a little glimmer today to help try shift your emotions ? ❤ Sunshine... 🌞 Beautiful flower... 🌹 A hug with your dog... 🐶 Chocolate ! 🍫 A funny movie... 📺 Just a few immediate suggestions.... Sending love to you xx ❤
Such a great video, Dan! I have been practicing your concepts for several months now getting closer and closer to being unbothered by symptoms/pain treating them like a smoke alarm in the kitchen plus practicing acceptance. then the rest of the time directing my attention elsewhere. This is really working! I’m seeing progress and so thankful for you teaching it.
I'm in a similar situation. I take things one day at a time. I tell myself to be grateful when I have a good day. It helps. Sending you the best from France. Lisa
What feels really tricky is when you have PDP at the same time as an actual issue that is exacerbated bc of the original PDP issue. But I go back to Phil's story and so many of others who fully healed by intending their desired outcome and practicing embodying calmer states while living life. Your videos are always a helpful reminder. Thank you.
Yes feel the fear too! Maybe showing fear in the past made other people say and treat you poorly and became unacceptable. "Don't be a wimp.." etc.. Fear = normal response to life
I am so proud of you writing & completing the book!! 🫶🏻 You keep on being the greatest help as I discovered that the process of overcome the fear & pain goes in stages. The danger changes, the danger becomes less & less dangerous! The perception changes if you understand what really goes on, misinformation, but truly old information, that tries to prevent something that only happend in the past. What lies beneath it to nót consider it as temporary? The last stage. I feel new impulses and … especially the so wanted freedom. Thank you so much and best wishes for the new year and your book!! ❤️
I am so frusturated with menopausal symptoms. I cannot afford anymore doctor visits. Gas and bloating are my big problem. It is definitely hotmonal. I am getting pimples at 59!!
I had these symptoms that subsided with doing the mind-body work. I even healed from having PMS, “Hormonally” caused IG and skin issues and Menstrual Cramps. They were all TMS because I heard somewhere that “every woman gets them” when I was young and I thought it was a natural thing to be in during my cycle. It was all TMS and I don’t get them anymore. Pay attention to when you get acne. Acne is a big TMS condition too because a lot of people report getting break outs when they’re stressed.
The fear comes from self talk. So if you're going to talk to yourself anyway, tell yourself I feel great, and I wonder what great thing is going happen in my future.
There's an interesting conversation in the Guardian (British) today about inner dialogue. I've never 'talked to myself' in my head, or had inner dialogues going on, and I see from the conversations that many others don't either. Those who do say they can't turn them off. Those who don't, like me, say they're very visual in the way they respond to the world. This may be why for me, talking to myself isn't something that works. Visualising something works a lot better. As I consistently say there is not just one way that fits everyone, because we're all so very different, and respond to our lives and our challenges according to who we are.
Hi joyoung you have the power to heal anything you just need to know how. Dr joe dispenz can teach you how to do it. I went to see Joe in 2016 and everyone who does the work get positive results and also you will learn that you are more than the body much much more go find out for yourself darling xxxx
I have this problem right now as I don't see how IC can be TMS as I ate something yesterday that affected my bladder and I was up many times using the bathroom and was in pain all night.
Thank you and just wished I knew what to do. Doctors have been no help. I try to follow the IC diet but there had to be something in my frozen dinner. Christmas was stressful
Many with a diagnosis of IC get well with a mindbody approach. Many. Have you watched the success stories? ua-cam.com/video/pyaL_Jagv_Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/XT5GGzCfzcs/v-deo.html More here: PainFreeYouSuccess.com
Hey Dan, could you do a video on someone tapering off benzos? I know there are thousands and the groups either cause fear or doom or years of misery. They do say you heal, but are afraid of everything and the sxs are both physical and psychological. Akathisia is one sxs they claim is a brain injury. Feels like terror. Just wondering if you’ve ever dealt with anyone who took for many years. Just throwing it out there. I don’t believe it’s a brain injury, btw, but it’s hard. Thanks for your work!
What is dans thoughts on normal supplements like magnesium since we’re always hearing our soil is deficient? I eat grass fed beef, raw milk, organic fruits and veggies but I still wonder if we are low in things that aid in normal functioning brains and bodies
U don't need his thoughts. Same stance on therapies. If you're doing stuff because it's relaxing not mending, or enhancing your overall health. Vitamin D needs magnesium or it doesn't work. I'd do one lot of blood work and go from there
😊 Thank you Dan great topic my question to you is can I be annoyed without freaking out I tell my brain yeah I'm annoyed with this but I'm remaining calm I'm not freaking out I know you mentioned not to be bothered but then I say I'm remaining calm but then I say I'm bothered by this maybe it's a little white lie I'm telling to the brain LOL is that accurate just like fear you don't remain there
What if you have a symptom or condition that needs a med, in addition to TMS symptoms. Does the necessary med confuse the brain about the TMS symptoms.
If you need medication for something, take it. Your brain is not such a simple organism that it can't cope with medication and your thoughts. It's been running your body for the entirely of your life, keeping your heart and lung and bladder and bowels working, sorting out bacteria and mitochondria and electrolytes. The concept of 'talking to your brain' makes it sound as if there's some person living in your grey matter who's going to have a hissy if it doesn't like something. Every time you life your hands to type on here, or stand up, or put on the kettle, your brain does that. It's not going to be confused.
Not Dan, but someone who experienced covid from March 2020 (long before long covid was a thing or TMS/covid was a thing. I've got a medical background, so I have an open mind about both medical diagnosis and TMS as the ultimate answers. But from personal eperience, I completely lost smell and taste for a couple of months and it did gradually return.
ps and it had nothing to be with being scared or reassuring my brain. It was a gradual process like getting it back after a heavy cold. It was lovely to smell my morning cup of tea again!
Hi, lack of the mineral zinc can cause you to lose your sense of smell. Take zinc supplements. You can also start smelling things you like to train your sense of smell again - but don't stress. I wish you a happy new year 🎉
Happened to me Dec 2021. Lasted a few days only. I used strong menthol and peppermint & smelled it over and over. Multiple x a day. My smell returned pretty fast
Take zinc. It will come back. I lost taste and smell for six months. Apparently when the body is fighting viruses it uses yr zinc up. Start small. Smell n taste work together. I can now smell like a sniffer dog lol
Thanks Dan. Terrified. But trying to stay calm. Everything is so flared up. I know the cause. But man it’s so hard. Thanks for being here. Everyday. It something to count on when everything else feels so lost❤

Yep. The second fear hitting you in the stomach causing the adrenaline kick and there you go.

When you are sensitised everything gets magnified your body knows wat to do wen the mind gets out of the way I promise
So hard to get the mind out of the way!!
I imagine driving, taking a wrong turn, and in stead of hitting the breaks, stopping all the traffic behind you, making an annoyingly difficult turn in the middle of the road, you instead keep driving, and take another right turn in the direction that you wanted to go, it might have been a detour, but you will get there eventually.

You will come out on the other side and get on with your life. Been there, done it many years back, carried on fine. It's just a process.
I had these symptoms that subsided with doing the mind-body work. I even healed from having PMS, “Hormonally” caused IG and skin issues and Menstrual Cramps.
