Pent up unexpressed emotions is something I had not considered before, but it makes perfect sense and is something that feels a likely suspect in my balance and dizziness issues. I have new hope to find ways of expressing and releasing all these feelings.
Hello Emma! 1. Meditation 2. Daily exercise 3.Mindfulness 4. Regular 8 hr deep sleep 5. Suitable antidepressents 6. Appropriate regimented daily routine. 7. Avoiding cokes, sodas and fast food. Madam Emma is there anything else that is helpful??
Habituation exercises! So going to places and/ or doing things that make you feel dizzy so that your brain can compensate. Also work on limiting beliefs and improving self compassion/ self kindness. You can also look into therapies like somatic experiencing to help with any related trauma. Hope that helps!
Hello I am from. Pakistan with a similar kind of situation. I am 42 married with a daughter and have a PhD working as a assistant professor. Your videos are very precious for US I must say. Please keep posting and never stop. Please! I have similar sort of condition. Dizzy like sensation triggered by chronic stress and severe anxiety. I wanted to share that I Hae had this for 1.5 years and three months back for almost two months I was 90 to 95 percent better. I didn't do anything extra. I just got better. But after two months I again slipped and became unhealthy. I am taking antidepressent and BP lowering medication as prescribed by doctor. I am quite sad and down that I became unhealthy after being 90 to 95 percent better. But I have hope I can be 100 percent better and cured with time.
I have tremendous fear of falling n imbalances issues when my dizziness hits . I’m surprised that you mentioned going for a brisk walk or even running . Just wondering if this is possible with others sufferers like me 😢
I wouldn't recommend either way because I'm not a doctor and I don't know you. In my experience with coaching there seems to be mixed opinions around the effectiveness of SSRIs with some people reporting useful benefits and others saying it's made them feel worse. I didn't take any medication so it's not an absolute necessity to heal. All I can say is work with your doctor's closely and make a decision that is right for you
Hi . My problem is that when I am out i feel very unsteady, that i have to have someone with me so i have something to hold on to. I also feel that i am walking towards the left side. I have alot of tension in the right side of my neck, shoulder and jaw. I have been like this for nearly 10 years. A few things have happened over the past year so could this be a reaction to trauma? Thank you 😊
I have this weird feeling on the top of my head which is a sort of gripping and tightening sensation that seems to shift across causing me to think i am losing balance. Though i never actually lost my balance, i am always on alert when this happens. This stressful sensation gets worse when i have to go out and run an errand or even when i stoop down to pick up clothes from a drawer or when i am afflicted with gas, belching (i got diagnosed with functional dyspepsia) or when i am getting into an argument. it gets better when i lie down or just relax on a chair or go about my work on a computer. Is this PPPD ? or i am on the wrong track here ? please chime in when you get a chance. i had done brain MRI during a prior episode and results were normal. Neurologist had prescribed benzodiazepine tranquilizer but i chose not to go down that path.
How did the dizziness first begin, was there a triggering incident? That's what the doctors would want to know. PPPD is also when all medical tests come back clear and there is nearly always a triggering incident
@@balanceyourlifenow1651 Thank you so much for your reply. I am not sure of triggering incidents. First time, it happened immediately after i had covid and prior to that, six months ago my dad, whom i took care of personally, passed away due to incurable pulmonary fibrosis. i have had health related anxieties since. I am hoping your approach will help me with this issue. Thank you for what you do to share with everyone. its very kind of you.
@@monkmaxims7951 what you've just explained to me sounds like the "triggering incidents". If it was a period of intense stress or highly emotional etc that would be a worthy reason for the condition to develop. When you started to feel dizzy that could be because of the stress of what you went through with your dad which resurfaced when you were unwell with COVID. Then how you responded to the dizzy sensations caused anxiety which therefore disrupted the nervous system which has left you feeling dizzy and anxious with one fuelling the other. That is my opinion based on the info you have provided but please don't let that replace the medical advice from your doctor's who know you much better than I do. Getting medical clearance so know nothing serious is going on is an important step, once you get that you can move towards healing and I'm hoping the content on my channel can help you to do that ❤️❤️
Did you have trouble walking when going through pppd or did it feel weird to walk/run? It feels like the ground shifts on me or drops a little. I mainly rock front to back when sitting still so when walking it feels very strange/hard to discribe. It feels unbalanced as im walking in my head, even though outwardly i probably look mostly normal walking or maybe like im walking a bit cautiously. Ive been trying to walk and exercise as i know its helpful with my anxiety, but then i get discouraged when i feel so unbalanced just walking. How do i overcome this?
I found walking and sitting still the most difficult, running was ok. Try some basic grounding techniques to help you to get "back into your body" definitely work on reducing stress and calming the nervous system too. Things like Mindfulness meditations, breathing exercises, body scans, feeling into your feet and lower legs, feeling what parts of your body feel most present and connected etc
@@amandar614 yes, every day. But listening to my body and doing less if that's what I needed. I strongly believe exercise and generally moving your body is so important to healing a vestibular disorder
Because every time I walked back into my office at work I was retraumatising myself. About 50% of the time when my dizziness was really bad and overwhelming it was when I was in work. Work was somewhere I felt like I couldn't escape because I had to sit at my desk from 8am until 4.30pm. my nervous system would constantly freeze and shut down when I was in work. The fact I had to still go to work and sit in that office while trying to heal, I believe is the reason why it took me so long. It was too much for too long. But I got there eventually, and working from home during COVID helped alot
@@balanceyourlifenow1651 Gosh! I think this may be the same reason for me as well. Because my symptoms are intense at work. This makes total sense. Thank you Emma.
@@jessicaamber6623 you're welcome! It took me a long time to understand that our nervous systems respond subconsciously. My nervous system was really struggling to be at work for a long long time. I'm glad that by sharing that it's helped to give you some answers

Movement is key to healing even if only very small amounts at first.
Hi, Thank you for the videos and all the effort explaining! Would you recommend SSRI as a temporary solution?

Hi Emma,
While standing did you feel like you are standing on a boat or the floor beneath you is moving. Is it a symptom?
Yes
Emma do you do one on one personal session?
Yes I do... I've now seen your email and have replied ☺️

Work on calming the nervous system
@@BlessedKarma10 Do you experience a rocking sensation? I was diagnosed with pppd, but it feels more like mdds.

@@amandar614 yes, every day. But listening to my body and doing less if that's what I needed. I strongly believe exercise and generally moving your body is so important to healing a vestibular disorder
Why do you think it took your body three years to really get the message?
Because every time I walked back into my office at work I was retraumatising myself. About 50% of the time when my dizziness was really bad and overwhelming it was when I was in work.
