As someone who was diagnosed with meniscus tear, all sorts of bursitis and ITBS where I couldn't walk for 3 years, after finding TMS and applying everything - I resumed activity and decided to live my life which included gym. First month and so was hell of sensations. Yet I kept teaching my brain all the movements were safe. I literally had 1000 triggers - walking, squats, bending over, being in the gym, cleaning...For each and every trigger, I had to do it and do it through telling myself these activities were safe, deep breathing through it, telling my brain to relax my muscles, visualizing pain free movements even when they weren't...and pushing through. NOT CARING eventually if it hurt or not. I did it. Guess what? It stopped. Completely. I am now doing everything pain free. The fear of pain is stopping you, but trust me, the pain is in your scared brain. You must persevere and teach it otherwise. What's the alternative? For me there wasn't one.
I keep pushing thru or trying to push thru. I bend, it hurts but I do it. Sometimes I can’t even roll over in bed without pain. I do it anyway but sometimes I moan in agony. Is that counter productive?
Generally, if you are all stuffed up, or a runny nose or have a fever, that indicates some type of cold or flu. Hydrate, rest, eat good foods. In either case - trust your body.
Respect. Really great. Is meniscus tear also Tms? My girlfriend has the same. After knee surgery sometimes it hurt when lifting in the gym. Sometimes the knee is swollen.
The tear is the tear. The question is whether or not the tear is causing the pain or the brains perception of danger from the tear/surgery is causing the pain. Swelling can happen if the brain perceives the knee is injured. Taking the pain assessments here will help give you clarity what your situation is: IsThisTMS.com @@thomas0991-q9k
After an epic "adventure" out of my safe zone yesterday, today the fatique aargh. Forced myself out to walk in the park. Telling myself , "girl you did brilliantly yesterday and you know this is PDP, keep going, a whole life waiting for you". Great message today 🙏
Dan, a few days ago I was so sick with the pain I resolved to not moving anymore until it passed for good... Luckily, the day after one of your videos appeared on my youtube home page, and my deeper Self immediately recognized the truth in what you were saying, as it applied to my personal situation. It was like a lighting strike out of the blue. From the following day I started applying your advice and began walking again after months of limitations. The pain is slowly backing off as I am rewiring my brain, it's a gradual process. Meditation helps A LOT. I acknowledge the Divine in you and give thanks for your service.
Such an important topic Dan! Thanks for addressing it so well! I’m in the stage where I start doing more and come out of my comfort zone and yes my brain 🧠 bombards me with symptoms.. Now I know that I just have to go through this phase with clarity and trust and no panic.. If my brain kept me alive for the past 20 years, this state I’m in feels the best protective state for my brain.. it doesn’t want change so I have to teach my brain that I’m ok NOW and over time it will accept my new normal. It’s like a child that has been yelled at for years and suddenly you start being super sweet.. that kid would be confused and not easily persuaded to accept that new kindness.. Only my experience. Have a great weekend Dan and everyone ❤
Yes I pushed forward a little after having the flu and a CFS set back and my symptoms flared a lot. It has been very difficult not to freak out but I know this is the key. It’s worked for me before so it can again. But it is HARD! I know once I get to the other side I will be grateful that I stayed as calm as I could and got through it
Hi Dan. You made this based on my comment. Thanks for responding in this kind and productive way. I think you nailed it for me, gradual exposure. I was a little too optimistic and didn’t give my body and brain time to understand the change. It’s not fear driving a gradual transition back to life, it’s smart and common sense to let the body adjust slowly to new things. I went full throttle back to sport and crashed to severe for like for 18 months and counting. Theres a lady going around pushing this way. Ie just decide you are better and go run a marathon the next day. If you don’t, that means fear is in control. That’s the approach that hurt me. Gradual exposure is smart and gives safety messages to the body. Run a marathon tomorrow does not. Anyway thanks. Gradually. Gradually. Gradually.
The fast start playlist will help. DansFastStart.com This process will help with returning to activity: ua-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/v-deo.html A flare up should not last 18 months unless it is fueled by tons of fear and attention. Messages of safety will get you out of this crash. You are not broken. Recover from fear. (that video is in the playlist)
@@PainFreeYou thanks Dan. this wasn't a flare up. it was a monumental crash that put me in bed for over a year. I was 90% better but crashed to 5% for a year, now 20%, 18 months later. I even declared myself fully recovered at one point. Happy, positive, fearless, optimistic. I guess the fear was buried subconsciously. I'm full of fear now though, so I'll work through your content to reduce that. thanks.
Sending you courage, and strength. Full force doesn’t work for me either. Gradually, with selfcare, selflove and respect for the body feels safer. Sending healing vibes 🌺
This is so important Dan, thank you! I jumped back into activity and had a lot of symptoms (I've been diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue), but because of your coaching I was able to stay calm and reiterate that the symptoms would pass if I continued to believe they could resolve on their own. THEY HAVE!! If I weren't experiencing it, I would find this information to be too good to be true, but it isn't.
I've been doing graded exposure with long Covid for the past year. Amazing results. I'm still evolving but am now hiking and working. Just started working out again and am getting "flares" but I know what it is! And I'm going slow. It's all temporary!!!
Having a big flare up today and trying to deal with panic and despair by watching Dan and reading comments. I am totally convinced it is PDP but might do the assessment just for the heck of it. Been doing so well these last months enjoying a tremendous amount of freedom. Which in itself proved there's no physical problem. I'm going back to reassuring my overly protective brain now.....❤
Another lovely video thanks Dan! I find it hard to differentiate between what could just be "TMS funzies" and a genuine cold/flu. Since starting this work I have seen something Nichole Sachs terms symptom imperative (symptoms moving about a bit). I woke up fairly sniffly and run down today. I am just viewing it with a sort of whatever attitude but obviously wondering hmmm... "tms yay or nay"?! I guess its important to remember that colds are normal too... My point is when this happens I find it hard to know how to respond in terms of "do your normal stuff today" (I have a spa appointment plus a pilates class booked today) or to just take a day of rest. And not necessarily because I am scared but because I believe when we have a cold or flu we should give our body some rest
I would say a cold or flu or any short term situation is different than TMS. It’s chronic pain/symptoms that are the issue. We know a cold is temporary and our brains don’t freak out. Just like if you cut your finger your brain doesn’t freak out because we know it’s going to heal. ❤
Hi Dan, I've been a believer of TMS for years and watch your videos whenever I need a reminder. I fixed my chronic wrist and eye pain in 2019 in less than 2 weeks, and In 2021 I fixed my neck and shoulder pain in just a couple days. And now I'm having an issue with my throat. I talked quite loud for about an hour, I let my throat rest for the remainder of the day and the day after, but since then, talking at all hurts my throat. I'd still talk to people for extended periods of time occasionally, but nothing crazy. Eventually I went to a doctor and he said it was laryngitis and that I need to rest. I hardly said a word for about 10 days, and I was taking pain killers, avoiding "harsh" foods, drinking warm liquids etc. But my throat didn't improve. In fact, I talked softly for about an hour and the next day I had a big headache and strong neck and shoulder pain on top of a sore throat. The pain started a month ago, and I think by then it should've healed if it really were a physical issue. After that I concluded that it was TMS (I scored 33 points on your self assessment test). These things didn't add up. There are people I watch who get consistently loud and they're completely fine. And being loud for one hour shouldn't do much more harm than the days where I'd talk for several hours with no issues. I dropped the pain killers and started talking again. I talked a lot yesterday and today my throat does feel worse. However I don't think it's because something's wrong with me. With next to all the signs pointing to TMS, I'm mostly sure that this is the right path to go down. I don't want to live in fear. I love both my hobbies but they both require a lot of talking and at the time they were stressing me out, primarily one of them in particular because I wasn't happy with how my voice sounded and I was discouraging myself. Additionally, there've been many stressful events in my life since 2021. With all that in mind, does this sound like TMS to you? I believe it is, though I'd love to hear your opinion. Keep up the great work!
The perception that speaking or speaking loudly should hurt is why it hurts. Nothing about speaking is dangerous. 33 on the pain test says it's TMS. It's all driven by fear. Drop the fear and the symptoms will resolve. My fast start playlist explains how all of this works and what to do about it. Begin there.

You did again, Dan. I have been slowly adding movement back into my life, and I was freaking out yesterday and even today because the symptoms were through the roof. I needed to hear this message. Thank you so much!!!!
I'm already nearly completely out of pain and fear for a few months now, but when I was kinda freaking out lately because of huge emotional stress, and I thought: well I need someone calm to listen to, I dialed in again to your video, because most people around me are not exactly what I would call calm ;-)
Thank you for this, Dan! I’ve been struggling with getting back out there. I was stuck in the “freeze” response for years, totally bedridden, and although I’m so much better in that way,I’m still having a hard time just living my life. I’m also very new to TMS work so maybe my pace is normal. I understand that the brain will create symptoms to keep us safe from a danger that it is perceiving. Pain and fatigue have always been the big ones for me the last 14 years, but the last few I have these symptoms you would get with a fever but there’s no infection. Body aches and chills. Have you ever heard of the brain creating such symptoms? I’ve been watching your videos daily for awhile but haven’t come across this symptom yet. Either way, since I know it’s not an infection, I’m going to do my best to “live my life” and treat this as though it’s TMS/PDP. Thank you for the work you do and the dedication to these daily videos.
The only way out of this is through it… which means gettin out of our zone… expanding… flaring up… respond well or as best u can… with this cycle your capacity grows… rinse repeat… hard ass work but worth it! Dan you are pure gold!
This is very true. I still am working on sitting and being real comfortable. I am not even thinking about it but when I sit it can talk a little. It's getting better but all that to say it's subconscious and years of fear being rewired. I just repeat safety and remind my brain sitting is very safe and think and remind my self of comfort and feeling good while sitting and imagine myself how I WANT to feel. Takes time and patience, trust me I know and work on it daily!
I’m saving this to watch later as I am busy living :) But based on the title, and someone who has said this… I’m going to say fall down 7, get up 8! Easier said than done, so know! Thanks so much Dan for sharing this and to a special friend who have reminded me we have one life to live, and the mind body connection is real! And working on self is a practice that should be done daily. Feel what you feel, just don’t unpack and live in those dark places. ❤
Dan, this was a wonderful explanation! This very exact thing happened to me last July when I first found your channel and I bought into it 100% and felt so relieved but didn’t understand the whole subconscious thing. But I am hanging in there and realize that my subconscious will eventually learn.
Great message as always. Thanks Dan. It was because of your messages that I started to step out and live life again, and bit by bit I progressed. You said one needs to be brave sometimes - so I was - and it worked!!! Always grateful for your wisdom and advice. I’ve done what you’ve said, and it’s worked, even through a flare!! I’ve never doubted that it is my brain, and there is nothing wrong in my body!!!
Great video! I would add something my therapist tells me all the time. Even the doubting thoughts like I'm not having enough clarity or consistency or sending enough saftey messages... those can all be just more symptoms of this. Unless you buy into them, they don't have to mean anything. Anxious thinking about doing this healing work just right is just another way for the brain to keep you stuck and ultimately safe.
Thanks Dan I really needed to hear this today. I’ve had a rough few days and the long Covid thing definitely hit home. I’m still really struggling with doubt regarding my long Covid. I wish there was a switch. I could flip that would just be. I’m confident that this is PDP. It’s funny right when you said watch this a second time and take notes I was getting a whiteboard out I have to put up in front of my bed on my dresser so it’s the first thing I see you when I wake up in the morning to write down some bullet points. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼
I hear you, being as constant as possible through the flares will get us to the other side more quickly. Not easy, but it’s so possible. I’ve been working on the foundations, and am gradually moving away from pain being the focus. Lots of road bumps and detours, but I’m better today than I was six months ago. It’s a learning curve. Any new skill gets built gradually and takes endless patience. When you learn to play the piano, there are days when you wonder what you’re doing at that keyboard and days when it feels like you could be a star. 💫 We’re all stars. We can do this. 🩵

Thanks Dan couple a new job with my daughter about to give birth. I’m looking after my granddaughter while my daughter is in hospital. Omg this last few weeks have been so so hard. Symptoms have been very colourful. Dealing with the anxiety of the job was hard and now waiting for my daughter to have her baby I feel so overwhelmed!! However I’m still trying not to have fear to the symptoms. I can do this thanks to you x
What will help is changing the story behind how overwhelming it all is. You can and will do it. Symptoms are colorful due to the fear. And the story that "this is all too much" is creating more fear. Change the story to "I can do this".
Hi Dan could you do a video on ways to react with safe messsges when woken up by intense pain in the middle of the night? Lately I often am having a dream about being cut, bleeding, etc or even deliberately hurt in my pelvic region (where my pain is) then I awake with very intense pain get depressed and am unable to get back to sleep due to pain and not feeling safe no matter how much I breathe and tell myself I’m safe. Thank you. ❤

I. GOT COVID RECENTLY AND WAS REALLY SICK FOR A MONTH OF JANUARY AND THEN BEGAN TO THINK I HAD LONG COVID AS THE SYMPTOMS DRAGGED ON UNTIL I REMEMBERED ABOUT TMS/PDP LINK AND THE SYMPTOMS CLEARED.. DR.SARNO WROTE IN MINDBODY PRESCRIPTION THAT LYME WAS A TMS EQUIVALENT
Hi Dan,i had 39/50 on your test.after 3 weeks of struggling to get out of the apartment, now I'm stiff and my neck muscles are stiff especially when I have to go somewhere and perform my duties. Sometimes it's on my neck and sometimes my leg muscles are so stiff that I can hardly walk, when I finish my duty the symptoms subside. Yesterday I I was so stiff, my neck hurt, I felt dizzy, I went to the swimming pool with such fear, when I entered the changing room I could hardly breathe, my legs were heavy. I entered the water with even greater fear, I swam 4 laps and went outside because my legs were too tense, then I went to the smaller pool, ran around it and with a friend shot at the goal with a ball. Suddenly, the numbness disappeared for 20-30 min. for me it was unimaginable for the last 2 weeks) because every contact with people would be reflected in the pressure in my neck or back. Later I even played the guitar for at least 1 hour, while these days I couldn't even look at the guitar. But when the evening came and fatigue, the symptoms in neck would come back together with waking up through the night and unpleasant dreams, today I could barely get out of bed again from the stiffness of being 90 years old. But I started to slow down the game, I think that yesterday I was braver than ever in my life.Tnx to your video yestarday was passible.if it weren't for these unpleasant awakenings in the night, today would be almost a normal day, I wake up half asleep and can't move for at least 10 seconds and it's terrible, later I don't even have my balance for a few minutes. This happened to me 7 months ago when we moved into new apartment, getting used to it was difficult. But it stopped as soon as I took control and did as many things as possible in a day. The problem is when I have no obligations, all the symptoms are present.
ok so I just found Dans channel, I am unsure why he popped up on my feed.. I was researching meditation and he came up the next day. I didnt know what type of content he posted but after watching one of his videos I noticed how much he calmed me and made me feel safe. and the idea of safety as the approach to pretty much any and all symptoms really got me and I started binge watching his videos. I will say it took me a minute to realize he he was talking about TMS (which I had never heard of) and pain in the body.. which I do not have. but I am a disabled vet with certain mental health problems and to me, this information applies just as much? am I correct in thinking what he's talking about does not apply to just physical pain?
Yes, safety will absolutely help with mental health challenges too. ua-cam.com/video/GBecoK2k93k/v-deo.html You can apply the concepts in my fast start playlist to your situation. DansfastStart.com - just replace the word pain with whatever you are dealing with. Welcome to my world. This stuff will definitely help you.
I’m still learning the rules that one must follow. Does anyone know what one should do if, for example, I get so dizzy I feel like I’m going to fall over while performing a task. Am I allowed to sit down, perform breathing exercises, place an ice pack on my head, or do I keep pushing?
The calls are in Eastern US time zone - same as NY City. Just ask Google what time is it in NY City to find out the time zone difference. UK is 5 hours ahead for example. Add 5 hours to this schedule for UK. 9am Eastern - Mondays 3pm Eastern - Tuesdays 1pm Eastern - Wednesdays 7pm Eastern - Wednesdays
Hi Dan! I would love to know more on how to handle symptom imperatives. I’m not afraid of my symptoms that got me here, but I am having so many symptom imperatives I feel like I’m always running to the doctor and don’t trust my brain anymore.
I have clarity. I am gradually increasing activity and living. I’m not giving up. Am trying to ignore symptoms. How does this approach differ from yesterday’s video on giving up and ignoring symptoms?
Quitting implies "this isn't working" and stopping any effort to teach your brain you are safe. I never suggest ignoring symptoms because that is impossible. We will always notice them. This video was to address a specific but common situation where some people jump back into life and the symptoms jump up.
Hi Dan, I try to live my life also for a(little)while and now I do have a flare up. I was maybe to enthusiastic.( I was over excited to living my live😀). I missed the word gradually🙈. What now? Do I’ve to take rest in a serious way(lay down)? Or push through? I want to cool it and not fuel it but I don’t know what’s best now.❤️
I really struggle with understanding when it's TMS and when it isn't even though I know I have TMS. Should we disregard all images, like the fact that my MRI shows that my median nerve is being compressed, and I have symptoms exactly in the fingers where the median nerve goes? I also have had to do a lot of walking in the last year and a half to alleviate nerve pain in my feet, now I have bursitis in my ankles .My doctor showed it to me on dynamic ultrasound and pointed to the exact spot that hurts where the bursa is .I don't want to do more avoidance, but I do need to rest it. Finding that balance has been difficult and messing with my mind in the last few weeks as I continue to wash your videos
For each symptom, go through the 19 questions of the FIT assessment here. 1 or more true answers and it's TMS and not the thing seen on the imaging. IsThisTMS.com
Thank you for the response, I know you get a lot of people asking for input on things. I read through the FIT assessment three times for the bursitis in my ankles. As best as I can tell according to that criteria, I do not think that this particular symptom is TMS. Due to the tms in my feet, have not been able to sit for more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time in the last year and a half, so I have done so much freaking walking. I haven't been avoiding walking entirely, but I have been reducing it so the ankles can rest. I'm struggling with proceeding forward with having both TMS and a physical injury. I have definitely noticed how avoidance can lead to more symptoms later on. I would be curious to hear your take on moving forward with this program when people have secondary injuries resulting from their TMS. I know you've done a video on muscle tightness as a common symptom of TMS, and that can lead to physical injuries generally speaking. have you encountered this as a coach?
How many of the FIT questions did you answer as true for your ankle? If one or more, then it's TMS. As for moving forward with this work, this video will help. ua-cam.com/video/tNS0Eqn8N_0/v-deo.html @@nothingspecial598
@@PainFreeYou honestly I don't think any of them applied. The only one that gave me pause was symmetrical presentation of symptoms. I interpret symmetrical to mean exactly the same on both sides, and while I do have symptoms in both ankles, they are much stronger in my right one. I've been dealing with this particular symptom for about 1.5 months, so now long enough to be chronic as far as the timeline goes. To clarify, I have been walking for probably 4 to 7 hours a day every day for the past year and a half due to sitting intolerance. That is why I feel pretty confident that this is an overuse injury that requires some rest. I'm still walking probably a few hours a day, so it's not total of waiting, but just a reduction so the ankles can rest and heal. I'm just nervous about it turning into another avoidance TMS symptom in the long term. Thank you for the link to the other video, I will watch it this evening
I’ve passed the assessments with flying colors many times. But I don’t hear anyone saying they recovered from knee and hip osteoarthritis (both hips, both knees). My list of other issues is numerous. Can someone share their experience or knowledge?
Idk. I have long covid symptoms unfortunately. Am I worried? Nope. Do I think it will go? Yup. But I have been in the tms world for several years and when I got Covid a few months ago I wasn’t bothered. I said, it’s just going to be like everyone else, a cold. No fear. Nothing. And here I am with a handful of long covid symptoms. So while I 100% believe in TMS, there’s definitely something that has changed and covid is the variable. I do have a deregulated nervous/limbic system from medication injury and I’m sure that is the catalyst. But even for those of us who believe 100% in the TMS principles, it’s not a prophylactic.
The brain perceiving danger and turning on symptoms can happen completely in our subconscious. Then once we get symptoms, the fear, belief the virus is the cause can be enough to keep the symptoms going. Is that what is going on with you? I'm not sure. The PDP assessments can help you figure that out. Take the FIT assessment here to find out: IsThisPDP.com One or more "true" answer and your body is not the cause.
Hi Dan, what's your opinion on CFS/ME. I've suffered for two years with deblitating fatigue that waxes and wanes, as well as pain which led me to learning about TMS. There's a large debate in the community on whether mind body approaches work and I'm conflicted myself. One cannot deny the amount of recovery stories that are on youtube from people that have healed from CFS using these techniques but they often seem to have a product to sell.
Of course people who work in the sphere are more keen on putting recovery stories on youtube, I would never do that as a normal person but there are also a lot of healing stories only from clients without products, I think Dan has made a video on CFS/ fatigue. I'm convinced that most CFS cases are TMS. Once I gave into the concept and did the work my symptoms started to shift, I'm not fully recovered, still have flare ups but much better. If you see that symptoms can vanish really quickly and change depending on your emotional situation, the information you have and mindset you start doubting physiological explanations.
I think the c virus was more difficult than was planned for. Then fear starts in. I had another virus, not the c virus, I developed bad problem because I got scared. Just be advised a virus can be more difficult, but scaring onself with that is not beneficial.
I so confused because new symptoms are bombarding me. I just had pelvic pain and then I started to do more and now my whole body hurts. I was 100 percent sure I had TMS. This is hard 😢
That is proof it's TMS. Your body is not falling apart all over. The brain is perceiving danger. Watch my fast start playlist to learn more. DansFastStart.com Take the FIT assessment here: IsThisTMS.com If you answer true to one or more, it's absolutely TMS. You are in the right place.
Thank you for this.. perfect timing as always ☺️ For me, the balance when I do get back to certain activities and how much I do is where it gets tricky. Recently started an arm workout and had a little glitch in the wrist, old sensation returned and I’m like 😓🫣 It’s been challenging to just go along with it, I am frequently reminding my brain that it’s my perception of the event and the fear of continuation behind it keeping me there, I’m ok… it goes so far sometimes though, the I’m ok Trying to find the way to approach this, I suppose me trying to figure that out is keeping me here 🫠
As someone who was diagnosed with meniscus tear, all sorts of bursitis and ITBS where I couldn't walk for 3 years, after finding TMS and applying everything - I resumed activity and decided to live my life which included gym. First month and so was hell of sensations. Yet I kept teaching my brain all the movements were safe. I literally had 1000 triggers - walking, squats, bending over, being in the gym, cleaning...For each and every trigger, I had to do it and do it through telling myself these activities were safe, deep breathing through it, telling my brain to relax my muscles, visualizing pain free movements even when they weren't...and pushing through. NOT CARING eventually if it hurt or not. I did it. Guess what? It stopped. Completely. I am now doing everything pain free. The fear of pain is stopping you, but trust me, the pain is in your scared brain. You must persevere and teach it otherwise. What's the alternative? For me there wasn't one.
I keep pushing thru or trying to push thru. I bend, it hurts but I do it. Sometimes I can’t even roll over in bed without pain. I do it anyway but sometimes I moan in agony. Is that counter productive?
Generally, if you are all stuffed up, or a runny nose or have a fever, that indicates some type of cold or flu. Hydrate, rest, eat good foods. In either case - trust your body.
Respect. Really great. Is meniscus tear also Tms? My girlfriend has the same. After knee surgery sometimes it hurt when lifting in the gym. Sometimes the knee is swollen.
The tear is the tear. The question is whether or not the tear is causing the pain or the brains perception of danger from the tear/surgery is causing the pain. Swelling can happen if the brain perceives the knee is injured. Taking the pain assessments here will help give you clarity what your situation is: IsThisTMS.com @@thomas0991-q9k

Hi Dan. You made this based on my comment. Thanks for responding in this kind and productive way. I think you nailed it for me, gradual exposure. I was a little too optimistic and didn’t give my body and brain time to understand the change. It’s not fear driving a gradual transition back to life, it’s smart and common sense to let the body adjust slowly to new things. I went full throttle back to sport and crashed to severe for like for 18 months and counting.
Theres a lady going around pushing this way. Ie just decide you are better and go run a marathon the next day. If you don’t, that means fear is in control. That’s the approach that hurt me. Gradual exposure is smart and gives safety messages to the body. Run a marathon tomorrow does not.
Anyway thanks. Gradually. Gradually. Gradually.

A flare up should not last 18 months unless it is fueled by tons of fear and attention. Messages of safety will get you out of this crash. You are not broken. Recover from fear. (that video is in the playlist)
@@PainFreeYou thanks Dan. this wasn't a flare up. it was a monumental crash that put me in bed for over a year. I was 90% better but crashed to 5% for a year, now 20%, 18 months later. I even declared myself fully recovered at one point. Happy, positive, fearless, optimistic. I guess the fear was buried subconsciously. I'm full of fear now though, so I'll work through your content to reduce that. thanks.
Sending you courage, and strength. Full force doesn’t work for me either.
Gradually, with selfcare, selflove and respect for the body feels safer.
Sending healing vibes 🌺
This is so important Dan, thank you! I jumped back into activity and had a lot of symptoms (I've been diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue), but because of your coaching I was able to stay calm and reiterate that the symptoms would pass if I continued to believe they could resolve on their own. THEY HAVE!! If I weren't experiencing it, I would find this information to be too good to be true, but it isn't.
I've been doing graded exposure with long Covid for the past year. Amazing results. I'm still evolving but am now hiking and working. Just started working out again and am getting "flares" but I know what it is! And I'm going slow. It's all temporary!!!
Having a big flare up today and trying to deal with panic and despair by watching Dan and reading comments. I am totally convinced it is PDP but might do the assessment just for the heck of it. Been doing so well these last months enjoying a tremendous amount of freedom. Which in itself proved there's no physical problem. I'm going back to reassuring my overly protective brain now.....❤
Thank you it certainly does make sense.
Another lovely video thanks Dan!
I find it hard to differentiate between what could just be "TMS funzies" and a genuine cold/flu. Since starting this work I have seen something Nichole Sachs terms symptom imperative (symptoms moving about a bit). I woke up fairly sniffly and run down today. I am just viewing it with a sort of whatever attitude but obviously wondering hmmm... "tms yay or nay"?!
I guess its important to remember that colds are normal too...
My point is when this happens I find it hard to know how to respond in terms of "do your normal stuff today" (I have a spa appointment plus a pilates class booked today) or to just take a day of rest. And not necessarily because I am scared but because I believe when we have a cold or flu we should give our body some rest
I would say a cold or flu or any short term situation is different than TMS. It’s chronic pain/symptoms that are the issue. We know a cold is temporary and our brains don’t freak out. Just like if you cut your finger your brain doesn’t freak out because we know it’s going to heal. ❤
@@NEChristo I get that! It's more sort of I wasn't able to tell if it was a tms symptom or if I was actually coming down with something 😅
Hi Dan, I've been a believer of TMS for years and watch your videos whenever I need a reminder. I fixed my chronic wrist and eye pain in 2019 in less than 2 weeks, and In 2021 I fixed my neck and shoulder pain in just a couple days. And now I'm having an issue with my throat. I talked quite loud for about an hour, I let my throat rest for the remainder of the day and the day after, but since then, talking at all hurts my throat. I'd still talk to people for extended periods of time occasionally, but nothing crazy. Eventually I went to a doctor and he said it was laryngitis and that I need to rest. I hardly said a word for about 10 days, and I was taking pain killers, avoiding "harsh" foods, drinking warm liquids etc. But my throat didn't improve. In fact, I talked softly for about an hour and the next day I had a big headache and strong neck and shoulder pain on top of a sore throat. The pain started a month ago, and I think by then it should've healed if it really were a physical issue.
After that I concluded that it was TMS (I scored 33 points on your self assessment test). These things didn't add up. There are people I watch who get consistently loud and they're completely fine. And being loud for one hour shouldn't do much more harm than the days where I'd talk for several hours with no issues. I dropped the pain killers and started talking again. I talked a lot yesterday and today my throat does feel worse. However I don't think it's because something's wrong with me. With next to all the signs pointing to TMS, I'm mostly sure that this is the right path to go down. I don't want to live in fear. I love both my hobbies but they both require a lot of talking and at the time they were stressing me out, primarily one of them in particular because I wasn't happy with how my voice sounded and I was discouraging myself. Additionally, there've been many stressful events in my life since 2021. With all that in mind, does this sound like TMS to you? I believe it is, though I'd love to hear your opinion. Keep up the great work!
The perception that speaking or speaking loudly should hurt is why it hurts. Nothing about speaking is dangerous. 33 on the pain test says it's TMS. It's all driven by fear. Drop the fear and the symptoms will resolve. My fast start playlist explains how all of this works and what to do about it. Begin there. DansFastStart.com

You did again, Dan. I have been slowly adding movement back into my life, and I was freaking out yesterday and even today because the symptoms were through the roof. I needed to hear this message. Thank you so much!!!!
I'm already nearly completely out of pain and fear for a few months now, but when I was kinda freaking out lately because of huge emotional stress, and I thought: well I need someone calm to listen to, I dialed in again to your video, because most people around me are not exactly what I would call calm ;-)
Love it. Congrats. If you ever want to share your success story, get on my calendar here: TalkWithDan.com
Thank you for this, Dan! I’ve been struggling with getting back out there. I was stuck in the “freeze” response for years, totally bedridden, and although I’m so much better in that way,I’m still having a hard time just living my life. I’m also very new to TMS work so maybe my pace is normal.
I understand that the brain will create symptoms to keep us safe from a danger that it is perceiving. Pain and fatigue have always been the big ones for me the last 14 years, but the last few I have these symptoms you would get with a fever but there’s no infection. Body aches and chills. Have you ever heard of the brain creating such symptoms? I’ve been watching your videos daily for awhile but haven’t come across this symptom yet. Either way, since I know it’s not an infection, I’m going to do my best to “live my life” and treat this as though it’s TMS/PDP. Thank you for the work you do and the dedication to these daily videos.
I have this temperature fever thing as wlel with burning torso. Did this issue resolve for you as you employed the tms approach?
The only way out of this is through it… which means gettin out of our zone… expanding… flaring up… respond well or as best u can… with this cycle your capacity grows… rinse repeat… hard ass work but worth it!
Dan you are pure gold!
This is very true. I still am working on sitting and being real comfortable. I am not even thinking about it but when I sit it can talk a little. It's getting better but all that to say it's subconscious and years of fear being rewired. I just repeat safety and remind my brain sitting is very safe and think and remind my self of comfort and feeling good while sitting and imagine myself how I WANT to feel. Takes time and patience, trust me I know and work on it daily!
Beautiful blye skies here in London but freezing
31 degrees about 0 Celsius here Colorado. It is suppose to go up and I can go out then.
Bless you for the sneeze...and for being you!!💜
Starting and stopping is all part of the process. It works keep saying I’m ok, and you’ll be ok! Dans spot on.
I’m saving this to watch later as I am busy living :)
But based on the title, and someone who has said this…
I’m going to say fall down 7, get up 8! Easier said than done, so know!
Thanks so much Dan for sharing this and to a special friend who have reminded me we have one life to live, and the mind body connection is real! And working on self is a practice that should be done daily. Feel what you feel, just don’t unpack and live in those dark places. ❤
Here's your comment.
@@PainFreeYou thanks!
Dan, this was a wonderful explanation!
This very exact thing happened to me last July when I first found your channel and I bought into it 100% and felt so relieved but didn’t understand the whole subconscious thing. But I am hanging in there and realize that my subconscious will eventually learn.
Great message as always. Thanks Dan. It was because of your messages that I started to step out and live life again, and bit by bit I progressed. You said one needs to be brave sometimes - so I was - and it worked!!!
Always grateful for your wisdom and advice. I’ve done what you’ve said, and it’s worked, even through a flare!! I’ve never doubted that it is my brain, and there is nothing wrong in my body!!!
Great video! I would add something my therapist tells me all the time. Even the doubting thoughts like I'm not having enough clarity or consistency or sending enough saftey messages... those can all be just more symptoms of this. Unless you buy into them, they don't have to mean anything. Anxious thinking about doing this healing work just right is just another way for the brain to keep you stuck and ultimately safe.
Thanks Dan I really needed to hear this today. I’ve had a rough few days and the long Covid thing definitely hit home. I’m still really struggling with doubt regarding my long Covid. I wish there was a switch. I could flip that would just be. I’m confident that this is PDP. It’s funny right when you said watch this a second time and take notes I was getting a whiteboard out I have to put up in front of my bed on my dresser so it’s the first thing I see you when I wake up in the morning to write down some bullet points. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼
Spot on, Dan. It is happening over hear too. Thank you for the insight and will jot down some notes.
Glad it was helpful!
I hear you, being as constant as possible through the flares will get us to the other side more quickly. Not easy, but it’s so possible. I’ve been working on the foundations, and am gradually moving away from pain being the focus. Lots of road bumps and detours, but I’m better today than I was six months ago. It’s a learning curve. Any new skill gets built gradually and takes endless patience. When you learn to play the piano, there are days when you wonder what you’re doing at that keyboard and days when it feels like you could be a star. 💫
We’re all stars. We can do this. 🩵
So happy to read your progress Christine! Keep going, you’re doing amazing ❤️🙋♀️
@@Inge508 Hi Inge! Thank you 🙏 I still have a ways to go, but I’m more determined than ever that I’ll be okay.

Another great video, Dan! It's great when you yawn. It makes me yawn and smile bringing me into that relaxed state. 🥱😉Thank you!
Great message today. Thanks Dan. 🥰
Thanks Dan couple a new job with my daughter about to give birth. I’m looking after my granddaughter while my daughter is in hospital. Omg this last few weeks have been so so hard. Symptoms have been very colourful. Dealing with the anxiety of the job was hard and now waiting for my daughter to have her baby I feel so overwhelmed!! However I’m still trying not to have fear to the symptoms. I can do this thanks to you x
What will help is changing the story behind how overwhelming it all is. You can and will do it. Symptoms are colorful due to the fear. And the story that "this is all too much" is creating more fear. Change the story to "I can do this".
Wow yes!!!! You are absolutely right! So simple but yet so profound! Dan you are amazing x
Hi Dan could you do a video on ways to react with safe messsges when woken up by intense pain in the middle of the night? Lately I often am having a dream about being cut, bleeding, etc or even deliberately hurt in my pelvic region (where my pain is) then I awake with very intense pain get depressed and am unable to get back to sleep due to pain and not feeling safe no matter how much I breathe and tell myself I’m safe. Thank you. ❤

I. GOT COVID RECENTLY AND WAS REALLY SICK FOR A MONTH OF JANUARY AND THEN BEGAN TO THINK I HAD LONG COVID AS THE SYMPTOMS DRAGGED ON UNTIL I REMEMBERED ABOUT TMS/PDP LINK AND THE SYMPTOMS CLEARED.. DR.SARNO WROTE IN MINDBODY PRESCRIPTION THAT LYME WAS A TMS EQUIVALENT
Hi Dan,i had 39/50 on your test.after 3 weeks of struggling to get out of the apartment, now I'm stiff and my neck muscles are stiff especially when I have to go somewhere and perform my duties. Sometimes it's on my neck and sometimes my leg muscles are so stiff that I can hardly walk, when I finish my duty the symptoms subside. Yesterday I I was so stiff, my neck hurt, I felt dizzy, I went to the swimming pool with such fear, when I entered the changing room I could hardly breathe, my legs were heavy. I entered the water with even greater fear, I swam 4 laps and went outside because my legs were too tense, then I went to the smaller pool, ran around it and with a friend shot at the goal with a ball. Suddenly, the numbness disappeared for 20-30 min. for me it was unimaginable for the last 2 weeks) because every contact with people would be reflected in the pressure in my neck or back. Later I even played the guitar for at least 1 hour, while these days I couldn't even look at the guitar. But when the evening came and fatigue, the symptoms in neck would come back together with waking up through the night and unpleasant dreams, today I could barely get out of bed again from the stiffness of being 90 years old. But I started to slow down the game, I think that yesterday I was braver than ever in my life.Tnx to your video yestarday was passible.if it weren't for these unpleasant awakenings in the night, today would be almost a normal day, I wake up half asleep and can't move for at least 10 seconds and it's terrible, later I don't even have my balance for a few minutes. This happened to me 7 months ago when we moved into new apartment, getting used to it was difficult. But it stopped as soon as I took control and did as many things as possible in a day. The problem is when I have no obligations, all the symptoms are present.

Very useful and important tips. I love you, Dan! Thank you for all you do.
You are so welcome!
ok so I just found Dans channel, I am unsure why he popped up on my feed.. I was researching meditation and he came up the next day. I didnt know what type of content he posted but after watching one of his videos I noticed how much he calmed me and made me feel safe. and the idea of safety as the approach to pretty much any and all symptoms really got me and I started binge watching his videos. I will say it took me a minute to realize he he was talking about TMS (which I had never heard of) and pain in the body.. which I do not have. but I am a disabled vet with certain mental health problems and to me, this information applies just as much? am I correct in thinking what he's talking about does not apply to just physical pain?
Yes, safety will absolutely help with mental health challenges too.

I had Lyme as well, treated it and tests came back negative.. Still have symptoms years later.
I’m still learning the rules that one must follow. Does anyone know what one should do if, for example, I get so dizzy I feel like I’m going to fall over while performing a task. Am I allowed to sit down, perform breathing exercises, place an ice pack on my head, or do I keep pushing?
Love it dan another great helpful video.. Thanks

Hi Dan! I would love to know more on how to handle symptom imperatives. I’m not afraid of my symptoms that got me here, but I am having so many symptom imperatives I feel like I’m always running to the doctor and don’t trust my brain anymore.
I have clarity. I am gradually increasing activity and living. I’m not giving up. Am trying to ignore symptoms. How does this approach differ from yesterday’s video on giving up and ignoring symptoms?
Quitting implies "this isn't working" and stopping any effort to teach your brain you are safe. I never suggest ignoring symptoms because that is impossible. We will always notice them. This video was to address a specific but common situation where some people jump back into life and the symptoms jump up.
Thank you for clarifying. That makes sense. Your videos are a godsend and so helpful. 🙏
Hi Dan, I try to live my life also for a(little)while and now I do have a flare up. I was maybe to enthusiastic.( I was over excited to living my live😀).
I missed the word gradually🙈.
What now? Do I’ve to take rest in a serious way(lay down)? Or push through? I want to cool it and not fuel it but I don’t know what’s best now.❤️

Omg this happened to me knocked me back 6 months
Is visualisation necessary for succes?
No such thing as Long Covid. It's neurosis.
I really struggle with understanding when it's TMS and when it isn't even though I know I have TMS. Should we disregard all images, like the fact that my MRI shows that my median nerve is being compressed, and I have symptoms exactly in the fingers where the median nerve goes? I also have had to do a lot of walking in the last year and a half to alleviate nerve pain in my feet, now I have bursitis in my ankles .My doctor showed it to me on dynamic ultrasound and pointed to the exact spot that hurts where the bursa is .I don't want to do more avoidance, but I do need to rest it. Finding that balance has been difficult and messing with my mind in the last few weeks as I continue to wash your videos
For each symptom, go through the 19 questions of the FIT assessment here. 1 or more true answers and it's TMS and not the thing seen on the imaging.
IsThisTMS.com
Thank you for the response, I know you get a lot of people asking for input on things. I read through the FIT assessment three times for the bursitis in my ankles. As best as I can tell according to that criteria, I do not think that this particular symptom is TMS. Due to the tms in my feet, have not been able to sit for more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time in the last year and a half, so I have done so much freaking walking. I haven't been avoiding walking entirely, but I have been reducing it so the ankles can rest. I'm struggling with proceeding forward with having both TMS and a physical injury. I have definitely noticed how avoidance can lead to more symptoms later on. I would be curious to hear your take on moving forward with this program when people have secondary injuries resulting from their TMS. I know you've done a video on muscle tightness as a common symptom of TMS, and that can lead to physical injuries generally speaking. have you encountered this as a coach?
How many of the FIT questions did you answer as true for your ankle? If one or more, then it's TMS.
As for moving forward with this work, this video will help.

@@PainFreeYou honestly I don't think any of them applied. The only one that gave me pause was symmetrical presentation of symptoms. I interpret symmetrical to mean exactly the same on both sides, and while I do have symptoms in both ankles, they are much stronger in my right one. I've been dealing with this particular symptom for about 1.5 months, so now long enough to be chronic as far as the timeline goes. To clarify, I have been walking for probably 4 to 7 hours a day every day for the past year and a half due to sitting intolerance. That is why I feel pretty confident that this is an overuse injury that requires some rest. I'm still walking probably a few hours a day, so it's not total of waiting, but just a reduction so the ankles can rest and heal. I'm just nervous about it turning into another avoidance TMS symptom in the long term. Thank you for the link to the other video, I will watch it this evening

I’ve passed the assessments with flying colors many times. But I don’t hear anyone saying they recovered from knee and hip osteoarthritis (both hips, both knees). My list of other issues is numerous. Can someone share their experience or knowledge?
Is there any difference between TMS and psychosomatic pain? Or is it the same?
Idk. I have long covid symptoms unfortunately. Am I worried? Nope. Do I think it will go? Yup. But I have been in the tms world for several years and when I got Covid a few months ago I wasn’t bothered. I said, it’s just going to be like everyone else, a cold. No fear. Nothing. And here I am with a handful of long covid symptoms. So while I 100% believe in TMS, there’s definitely something that has changed and covid is the variable. I do have a deregulated nervous/limbic system from medication injury and I’m sure that is the catalyst. But even for those of us who believe 100% in the TMS principles, it’s not a prophylactic.
The brain perceiving danger and turning on symptoms can happen completely in our subconscious. Then once we get symptoms, the fear, belief the virus is the cause can be enough to keep the symptoms going. Is that what is going on with you? I'm not sure. The PDP assessments can help you figure that out. Take the FIT assessment here to find out: IsThisPDP.com One or more "true" answer and your body is not the cause.

Hi Dan, what's your opinion on CFS/ME. I've suffered for two years with deblitating fatigue that waxes and wanes, as well as pain which led me to learning about TMS. There's a large debate in the community on whether mind body approaches work and I'm conflicted myself.
One cannot deny the amount of recovery stories that are on youtube from people that have healed from CFS using these techniques but they often seem to have a product to sell.
Of course people who work in the sphere are more keen on putting recovery stories on youtube, I would never do that as a normal person but there are also a lot of healing stories only from clients without products, I think Dan has made a video on CFS/ fatigue. I'm convinced that most CFS cases are TMS. Once I gave into the concept and did the work my symptoms started to shift, I'm not fully recovered, still have flare ups but much better. If you see that symptoms can vanish really quickly and change depending on your emotional situation, the information you have and mindset you start doubting physiological explanations.
Well crap where did my comment go? Lol 😅 Was going to check for errors

For me, the balance when I do get back to certain activities and how much I do is where it gets tricky. Recently started an arm workout and had a little glitch in the wrist, old sensation returned and I’m like 😓🫣
It’s been challenging to just go along with it, I am frequently reminding my brain that it’s my perception of the event and the fear of continuation behind it keeping me there, I’m ok… it goes so far sometimes though, the I’m ok
Trying to find the way to approach this, I suppose me trying to figure that out is keeping me here 🫠
