      Hi Sam I think your interview has got to be my fave to date I love how you explain and express everything and your vocab is just so wonderful to listen to. Can I ask one question please, did you have tinitus with your symptoms I have a high frequency ringing like sound which feels like it’s coming from my brain strangely. I have all the visuals that you described somatic tracking is really working now for me I was so debilitated with the head pressure and the eye strain I just felt like my life was over but I’m playing football with my son now and I am enjoying things again like reading and watching television something iv taken for granted really thank you for being so honest and brilliant x

This is an awesome interview and I love this woman and it's ALL true! Watch this a million times if you have to so it becomes the truth for you and watch your symptoms lessen. And it doesn't matter if it's POTS, GP, Fibro, IBS, and so forth because I healed from severe POTS, GP, and Fibro and more now my last symptom is dizziness but this to shall pass depending on how I react to symptoms. Thanks again for this love you both!!!! xxoo Ava

    I share so many things with Sam!!! One of the things that is really hard for me to handle at the moment is that I had mostly healed from 2 TMS conditions ( IC and PPPD etc)and really thought I had worked through all of the emotional stuff- the codependence, the people pleasing etc. My life was really going so well. Then, I had a huge event in the Summer of '22 that involved me feeling really abandoned and banished. 3 weeks later, I had full blown vertigo which resolved in a week. Then It took an entire year but everything caught up with me when new stressors came into my life. I had a 4 week IC flare followed immediately by vertigo and now the PPPD has been here with me since August. just feel like I "should" be able to deal with this stuff better by now. I am having a hard time but I also use the spiral staircase imagery and it helps me. Also, the idea of TMS/Neural Circuit pain is brand new for me so I feel like I am in a different place than I was before. I will get there!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!

    I really needed this today. My recovery has been so up and down. Last night I went to a soccer game which is crazy because the noise and the lights and the people are usually too much but I did it!!! Afterwards we went to Taco Bell with our friends and for the first time ever, I felt zero symptoms. I felt so full of hope. This morning when I woke up my dizziness was the worst it has been in the last 6 months I’ve been (I don’t want to say dealing with it because it has been teaching me so much) but nevertheless, dealing with it. The room was actually spinning instead of just a terrible feeling and i immediately went into fear. I allowed myself to feel it because I acknowledged it was scary and then I got up and did my chores around the house. However, my dizziness has felt like it did in the very beginning and I felt I was being consumed. I’ve listened to this recovery story before and I’m so glad I listened to it again. Wow did it help me get into a new mindset. This will not swallow me, I will get better, I will become more connected to my feelings. This is a journey and I just need to be patient and show myself love through it. Thank you both for this interview. ❤

    This might be my favorite recovery story. I feel like it helps so much to constantly hear in detail HOW to feel and allow the symtpoms. I have a background of trauma and panic attacks among other things and these dizzy symptoms have resensitized my nervous system. It helps so much to hear over and over exactly how to allow and not throw fuel on the panic fire.

    I’m crying as I listen I’ve been exactly the same as Sam. I had VN then was told it’s PPPD I’ve been struggling for 8 months healing very slowly. I’m also an artist and haven’t been able to do any painting or drawing which saddens me. Thank you Sam for being so open and honest it really is a life line for people like me, still in the midst of it all. Thank you Dr Yo for putting these recovery stories out and for all you do to help us ❤
    I’ve just got to the point in the video where Sam mentions the dip and the flares and relating to it differently this is a light bulb moment. I feel extremely faint when I’m outside and can’t really cope with it at times but now I’m seeing it as spiral staircase that’s brilliant thank you Sam❤

    This was an amazing success story to listen to! Probably my favorite so far. She explained everything very thoroughly and in a way we can try to apply to our own personal dizzy sensations. Reminds me alot of the book, "The Way Out", which was also very good, but I actually found the way she explained it to be a bit more helpful. She seems like such a lovely and intelligent person. Also the room she was sitting in gave off such a comforting/cozy vibe - which only added to the reassurance of this video. Thankyou so much for sharing Dr. Yonit and Sam!❤

    Really interesting listen, extremely informative.. thank you . When you said you need to identify genuinely if there’s something your nervous system doesn’t like in your environment , this really hit home for me. I’m in an uncomfortable living situation and I can see how this has built up over many years, I haven’t listened to my body so my body is making me listen . I enjoy discovering the healing benefits of meditation and somatic tracking, I also find art and being creative is a helpful release. Living near London we are going into winter and I feel like this time is very much a time for slowing down and going inwards. Warmest wishes to you both x

    This is my story too. Exactly all of those symptoms + chronic fatigue syndrome as well. I get body/head tremors & spasms too. My partner's name was Sam - and he was from England as well! I think I was meant to come across this video today (by accident) on purpose. Thank you so much for this video!
    I do think that some of these cases are due to spine issues - including bulging discs, stenosis and CSF problems. I had clear fluid coming out of my ears and my left breast (for years).
    My psychic/medium lady (Valerie) told me that I NEED to see a neurologist. To not let other people make me think that I'm imagining things, to stick to my guns and make the neurologist keep looking and that they'll find it eventually and they'll fix it.
    I have my second appointment with the neurologist in March (2024), and this time I'm going to make SURE that he does ALL the scans and keeps looking.
    My Sam used to encourage me to relax as much as possible. He would download interesting things for me to watch and music to listen to and he would come to my appointments with me. That was until he died suddenly that day in December. At 30 years of age, nobody was expecting that :(
    I will report back in the coming months/ years to tell you all if/when the neurologist finds what it is that's causing my PPPD (which is what I was diagnosed with initially) and my MdDS - which is what I have now.
    This isn't always all in our minds/heads! 🫤
    Thank you Doctor Y - and Sam too!!! 💖😘

      It has been 1,5 year since i'm experiencing this dizziness. It is going ups and downs, but i feel it during the day. Recently i said to my wife "i don't talk much about it but this is constant, just know that it keeps happening until i say it is over". First 6 months passed by searching medical conditions. But then i realized that this is all stress based. But still after then i did not do much to get better. i don't know why i'm procrastinating the healing process.. this video gave a motivation to me. The last thing that filling the bucket for me was extended illness anxiety. Now i understand it is just the last drop in the bucket.. I have been always an anxious person. I hope i can learn to track and feel emotions, track them in my body and let them pass. Dr. Yo, i thank you for all your effort.

    Hi, Yonit and Hi Sam. thank you for yet another amazing success story! These stories are so life-giving and inspirational all at the same time. You mentioned some thing about finding yourself in a story and I believe that to be really accurate. I’ve had some success with this practice, I’ve had longer periods of ups and downs, even just last week I was feeling really positive that I was on my way out of this but a setback was just lurking around the corner. I’m wondering if I’m experiencing symptom imperative. I know that my attitude right now is really important but it’s hard when you go backwards so so hard so I’m working on my awareness in my mental state right now with the increase in pain, increase and dizziness and a couple other symptoms what I wanted to ask, was has anyone you have worked with experienced shakiness in the legs kind of wobbly legs speech problems etc. this seems to only come when my anxiety is up and otherwise I seem like a super well person to others but inside I don’t feel that’s the case. Thank you for your work. I’m starting to feel like the last leg of this dizziness is hard to get rid of and even though I’m not in as dark as a place as I was in the beginning, it’s still hard and it still feels I need coaching.

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  Рік тому +1

      Hey there, yes we have absolutely seen neurological type symptoms like these with mindbody syndrome. The last leg can be incredibly frustrating because that’s the point at which people (like you) KNOW what’s happening but just can’t figure out how to wriggle free of it. No easy answers for this, just want you to know you’re doing it right and you’re not alone.

    Such a great video with SO much valuable information! Thank you so much for sharing Sam! I am so happy you have recovered! Your strength is incredibly inspiring! I just wanted to clarify, I thought we were supposed to try not to give our symptoms attention, but are you both saying we should give them attention as long as we do it with neutrality? For someone like me who has symptoms 24/7, how often should we do this?

    • @sammiller2617
      @sammiller2617 Рік тому +2

      Hello! And yes you observe them neutrally from a third person perspective, rather than interrogate them up close and try and fix them! Doing it dispassionately shows the brain you have noticed and it can in time stand down rather than keep re-issuing the message’. X

    Sam, I think you're brilliant, and I love listening to your story.
    I understand when you talk about feeling the emotions in the present and I understand the importance of looking back at what I may or may not have expressed but I am now in a loop of searching for that thing I need to resolve and then questioning if its the right one. In turn, the volume has been turned up on symptoms because the searching is sending the message "im looking for something to fix". Do you (or Yonit of course!) have any tips or guidance for me, please?
    Thank you xx

    Dear Dr. Yo, I found it so helpful when you explained how to start with somatic tracking - the example you gave of saying "a part of me is feeling really dizzy", reminding yourself that you're not 100% the sensations. Is there anywhere that you expound on this more or how to practice it? I'm struggling with somatic tracking right now because my sensations are so high.

I am too scared to drive since I have had symptoms of dizziness while driving. I also am not sure if the dizziness was the pppd dizziness or actually panic attacks. Either way, it is the result of the fear around driving. I have stopped for now, but I hope to drive again at some point. Any advice?

    I had a quick question. So I had vestibular neuritis in the past, and long story short it took a long time to fully recover, and my mindset and anxiety with regards to the dizziness was definitely not the best and hindered my recovery. However I would say for a solid 6 months I was living pretty normal, dizzy free for the most part. But recently I've been hit with a subtle bout of dizziness. Its not an all out vertigo attack, its more like I feel a little imbalanced and I feel like im very visual dependent now. Is this normal? Like does it fluctuate like this?

      Yes! Your thoughts are just another symptom/sensation so treat them in the same way. They mean nothing. It’s just an offering from your brain trying to suggest why you feel ‘off’ and if you need to ‘do’ anything. You don’t need to action them, argue with them or push them away. They are harmless offerings and you don’t have to action them. They let it not to get rid of them but to do-exist with them. This way they gradual adapts and ‘prunes’ them out. All completely normal.

    • @sammiller2617
      @sammiller2617 11 місяців тому

      Do the tracking daily as it helps cultivate this 3rd party perspective. It is something our brain gradually learns to do so that we acquire more ‘space’ between our observing and the symptoms being observed.

      It completely varies by the individual. When people are going through ups and downs, it’s best to remember that it’s normal for them to happen even when you’re doing everything right. It’s also good to look at ongoing sources of emotional distress that may be leading to dips.

My question is, I have years of suppressed anger, I anger very easily and this emotion I don't know how to deal with, in the present I get very angry at a certain person in my life.. what is the best way? Should I tell them truly how I feel which may potentially hurt their feelings and with me being a people pleaser it's very hard for me, I'm not sure the best way to release my anger "safely" but I know it's what's holding back my recovery.

      You don’t need to express your anger but you do need to FEEL it, to metabolise it and move it one. Sometime you may need to make practical change but mostly you brain needs to know that you have heard it’s message not the person you are angry with. X
