Anxiety is one the largest mental and emotional health conditions we see in the world. What many people don't realize is that anxiety isn't just mental and emotional, it is physical. Meaning anxiety can cause a whole host of physical symptoms in the body. I will go over anxiety in more detail today and how to spot some clues that anxiety may be operating as the cause of your symptoms.

Jim , I hope you realize how important this is , keep teaching 🙌
Anxiety is just energy moving through body. Sensations in body are just manifestation of energy
I’ve had every single symptom you
Could have, how can someone have so many illness and symotoms lol it’s defiantly anxiety
Yes! I had terrible gastric trouble, then that turned into itching. It is a circus.
Many nerve cells in gut tied to brain and rest of central nervous system.
Another brilliant lesson and very reassuring-thank you Jim!!!
I've had to look at the work of Claire Weekes. She was the anxiety expert, in her day, like Dr. Sarno is for pain. Learning to 'float' with anxiety and uncomfortable sensations is so helpful. Floating is allowing your body to go loose. Jim has a video on going loose in the body.
@@jacquelinegolden899 love Claire weeks
Where is it? I am looking but don’t see one about going loose in the body.
Yes . So many and severe tension . Super painful and scary
Thank you for a great video Jim. I am learning and understanding more about TMS or brain sensations every time I listen to you. I think I just realised a lot of my sensations are due to anxiety.
What I have now ,,an old trigger that surfaced again and I’m trying to not get anxious and run from it even after several weeks keep exposing myself to,the trigger face it and hope the mental anxiety will stop the symptoms and it goes away ,,you are awesome Jim thanks
You just described the day I’m having. Super timely and helpful.
I have craniocervical instability that causes dizziness, vision issues and derealization, but I think when those happen my anxiety kicks in and causes so many more symptoms like leg weakness, tachycardia, GI issues.. while also making the CCI symptoms worse. I think I am centrally sensitized and honestly have ptsd from over a decade of this pattern. Thank you for this video - it helps me know I’m not crazy with the symptom fear.
Great message as usual Jim. You are the best. I think your own experience of chronic pain and training really shines through in your teachings. ❤
I appreciate you’re more discerning and don’t try to assess all pain/dysfunction as TMS. The good quality longterm science isn’t there (yet) but many who do have it get relief from great sources like you. Even if it’s not TMS I do think info/videos like yours can help. Thx Jim.
Dr schubiner has evedence now diagnosed n.the brain scans
Can you talk about anxiety but the type that happens during sleep. The type that awakens you. How do you practice for that?
Great message thank you. Very helpful and supportive.
How can I determine if my gut issues are anxiety or a bacterial imbalance as I've been told by doctors?
This has helped so much thank you.🙏
God work 💜
So helpful, I took notes on my phone. I think this is a bit missing piece for me
Its pulls the fascia
The nervous system controls fascia tension
Thank you for a good video as always. It would be nice if you interacted with people more in the comments, as you say, you want to grow the channel.
This is really good.
Since you are a PT, I wanted to ask you if you think most CCI is mind body?
Chest pain and palptionsnis tms jim :) ??
I don't know if you answer questions but I really need help right now this anxiety has hijacked my brain. I am suffering panic attacks and bad anxiety but I'm now to the point were it's hard for me to do anything, so I lay in bed 60% of the day because my body feels exhausted is it because my body has reach the point of CFS ? I guess what I'm asking should I rest or keep pushing through this?? I've lost my job, friends, family, everything.
It starts with changing your response to your symptoms. To one of acceptance and not one of fear. Let yourself feel everything. It’s uncomfortable but it’s not dangerous. You have to stop adding fuel to the fire with worry,catastrophization/constant focus on the symptoms. This is how the nervous system heals, when you give it space and time. You have to learn to live alongside symptoms without adding to them for awhile. In time, they die down. Your body is not broken. You are going to be ok. Jim’s UA-cam channel and also Shaan Kassam’s channel can help
Educate yourself as much as you can on anxiety. For me it helped to learn that its one of the best psychological disorders to heal without medication. There are so many people on youtube who had and give education and advise.be gentle with yourself and never loose hope.if i can do it you can do it i believe in you!!!!
Claire Weeks is a good read alongside the mentioned channels
Jim, thank you for this video. I always get something new, and helpful, each time I visit your channel.
Ive had fatigue and headaches for a year. I always realised anxiety was feeding it, but didn't know what to do.
No problems found physically. Then a friend recommended Alan Gordon's book, The Way Out. Also your channel. Both have helped me so much.
A year ago, Id have felt labelled crazy, but now I've worked through a lot of stuff, and can be kinder to myself.
Thank you so much.
How do you tell yourself your safe and secure when you had to quit working due to debilitating pain? And now your living in your car with little money to eat and little resources to get help. Fear does not describe how I feel. " Full on terrified" better describes my mental condition.
It's just a nervous system state
I'm sorry for your situation, but you need to man up, the emotions are the symptoms, pulling back makes things worse. Talking/thinking like this makes things worse. You control your nervous system, get out of fight/flight/freeze.. How: stop fighting and resisting symptoms..... Welcome it all in, there all 100% safe. And gradually get back to living your life. Baby steps! The worst thing you can do is freakout!!! Stay grounded and full of joy. Check out fight/flight/freeze pics on Google (polyvagal theorie). Your not broken... You just thought you was...reqoinize your thoughts are creating your symptoms. You can turn this around.
I think your point is extremely well taken, Jim, that you have to stop trying to fix your symptoms with physical modalities. This is a point that Dr Sarno emphasized from the git go in his early Healing Back Pain book. You're only reenforcing the misperception that there's something physically wrong with you and there really isn't if your pain symptoms are caused by programmed neural pathways in the brain. So doing endless stretches and extensions in the gym only reenforces the underlying program with all its misperceptions. I guess you should just go to the gym to work out for your general health without focusing on any of your aches and pains?
What about long Covid symptoms? Specifically bulging veins. Is that possibly TMS?
@@IndialienJonesdo you have hypomobility this can cause pooling hypomobility is linked to autism.adhd
@@Truerealism747 No, I don't have hypermobility. I also don't have autism or adhd.
@@IndialienJones I didn't no I had the latter until 43
Can it be an actual situation but you just blow it out of proportion? Something like happened a few days ago and today, huge flare up. I’d like to run away but can’t and so I’m down to a shuffle (freeze). As you mentioned, I always thought I was calm and collected but I’m seeing I’m very quick to get anxious.
Can you send me something on how to get ahold of you. Didn't understand what you said at the end of the video.
Ok,, got it. Thank you anyway. My fault.
I’m fairly certain I am suffering with long covid. I was sick in March 2020 and again in February 2022. I’ve struggled with relentless brain fog, cognitive issues, episodes of gait change and coordination issues, POTS, digestive issues, and most recently I developed varicose veins in my legs and bulging blue veins in my arms, hands, and hips.
I’ve seen countless doctors and specialists and have received no help.
I’ve seen a lot of videos claiming that long Covid is just TMS. Would TMS cause vascular changes like I’m experiencing? Would it cause the other symptoms I’ve mentioned? I desperately want to heal but have no options as far as medical doctors go and the only hope I have left is the mind body approach. I was told by another popular mind body TMS UA-camr that my vein issues do not sound like TMS. I’m starting to lose all hope.
Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
We went through the most traumatic time in our life, a massive pandemic, if ur a tms person then you will get symptoms from the event of the pandemic without even getting the virisb
Firstly do you have hypomobility? I have fybromyalgia symptoms pots prior etc 27 years hypomobility can cause buldging veins did you take the shot also
@@ezza1236depends if the virus scared you it didn't me at all and I am TMS though I already had fybromyalgia
@@Truerealism747 meh fibromyalgia is one of the main tms symptoms , it’s not incurable, millions of people have over come it
@@ezza1236 yes I no neurologist calls it migraine in the body found out at 44 why I have it Asperger's ADHD heds OCD from 3 now son's diagnosed so it's all the subconscious brain it's also linked to SPD which ivevhad from n birth
