I’m finally getting it after 4 years. I get symptoms and the first thing I wanna do is ask why and fix but I have to just pause…. Pause what I’m doing, pause the thoughts and just recommit to the knowledge that I’m ok there’s no real danger in what I’m doing and I’m not made of paper mache 🤣then I resume the activity and the pain literally stops. I found if I “talk” to my brain or try to reason with it that makes it worse. Simply noticing the sensation and moving through it and focusing on something else knowing I’m not damaging myself or in harms way has just been the best approach. It does take bravery because you absolutely have to be willing to experience your symptoms and painful ones at times in order to move past it
👏💪👊. I resonate well with your response. When they get intense you have to raise your level of commitment to take them on but once you do this successfully it can become an aha moment.
@@Moonless6491 no I only discovered Dan a year or so ago but I was in pain for 4 years. I still fight the symptom imperative because fear is my knee jerk reaction when I have a new area of pain or a flare of old but nothing remains chronic. I might have a flare up of something for a few days but calm reassurance Keeps it from hanging around forever
Shocks me how severe they can be. When you are in panic and fear it’s even hard to remember the TMS principles. Takes a minute to get back to it all. Bravery is VERY important.

Thanks Dan, I just lost my husband 3 weeks ago and my world fell apart , the pain had been getting so much better then boom . Obviously there are do many emotions when you lose someone so suddenly with no warnings. There is grief but there is also worries about how you will cope financially etc . I've had 3 weeks to get my head round stuff now and in the long run I will be fine, the pain has subsided back to a manageable level and I'm getting on with the funeral arrangements. I will be saying my final farewell to my soul mate on 1st September and then , life must go on , I must go on and I intend to do so and I will best this TMS xx❤
Such an achievement Dan, thank you for your dedication and commitment to helping others on their journeys out of pain. I am one of your success stories, yesterday i was on my feet the whole day, walking in busy, humid central London, busy and active, totally engaged in what I was doing - I was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Doing this a year ago would have been a challenge, a couple of years ago unthinkable. My daily Dan fix was the key to recovery for me. Cant thank you enough. My best wishes and congratulations to you.
Dan, what a crowning achievement🎉! Your altruism is genuine and boundless. This bravery topic hits home. Can you please clarify something: if you have a mix of a PDP issue in, say, the low back, with no physical justification, then this is where bravery comes in to overcome that pain? What if your body throws an adjacent area into disabling pain, (say a leg), and you believe it was a warning that there is a chronic deterioration of which you were unaware that caused a very real disabling defect requiring serious surgery to prevent further disability? Is pain from the “warning area “ (e.g, leg) treated as PDP? Is pain from the serious, worsening defect to be treated separately as an acute issue (although it derived from a chronic condition)?
I know you don’t do individual coaching, but thought others who may a serious physical problem about which they have serious fear, might benefit from this clarification. THAN YOU❤!
@@suem.3651 My recommendation would be to do an evaluation of each pain location to see if the pain is behaving like a structural issue or PDP / TMS. Take the pain test for each area. If it shows 29 or above, it's TMS and not any deterioration. YourPainTest.com

Very emotional the last week and its showing in my sensations and chronic anxiety. Having ptsd therapy, nearly finished and it seems like my memory throwing up so much. Lots of tears, I know they're healing signs but sat in car had been talking to my cousin & a flashback happened, the pain low in my throat scared the beejesus outta me. My body perceived danger. Have driven and parked up somewhere else to listen. Throat calming after the tears. Have all the proof I need. Onwards I go. Thank you for your time 🙏
Congratulations, Dan!! 1600 free videos over the years! You are so generous and loving with your time - what an incredible soul you are! Proud to call you my friend and coach. Being in the group has enabled me to get my life back - with a solid mindset, I know symptoms will follow and fade away. Sending lots of love....
I attended my first weekly group session on Wednesday, and that same evening I felt way more confident, and had less symptoms than before. Thanks so much!
Dan, u r so genuine and effective. Today’s topic Being More Brave than my Symptoms is appropriate since my symptoms (lower back pain) feels like the bully or the boss as I feel older and weaker and less able to manage. Your words: ‘show up for yourself’ brought tears to my eyes. I am sure that is progress and a demonstration of the strength of your counsel. Thank you.

Oh my lose 1600 video, you are the great dam now I like the symptoms , enjoy them because I always remind myself they are uncomfortable but not dengours
I am so stressed over not working and the pain is getting worse. The longer im not working because of the pain anxiety and pain the more stressed im getting so more and more pain. I hurt my back putting on my jeans over a week ago and can barely move now. My god how much worse can things get, working looks further and further away, more stress. Feel like i will die from stress and pain. 😢
I’ve been where you are Julie and can absolutely relate…I didn’t know about TMS/PDP at the time (and I still haven’t been able to go back to work) but with Dan’s approach and coaching, I now believe that will be possible at some point - that’s a miracle to me. So, stick with it, stay consistent, be BRAVE…you will get there too 🌸
I'd start with changing how you talk to yourself. We all beat ourselves up. It just feeds the fears, sensations. Life can be overwhelming but trust your body you can come out the other side. I'm having a shite day by the way, I need to heed my own advice 🙄. Take care
Dear Julie I had to stop working 8 years ago … and I can relate to all you say . I was in that position for a long long time . And guess what .. understanding and knowing that I am actually Ok really helped me so much that I nowadays I am leading my life ! Consider the group coaching ! It helped to make the decision that I am going to be Ok ( I am already Ok 🎉) Be kind to yourself !❤
I watch every morning, 1600 is like 5 yrs wow! We appreciate the daily message also the no ads & commercials! Life is lifey here as my wife faces valve replacement Thurs. open heart. So of course my feet and legs are burning. At least its obvious
I was waiting for this week with fear for months because I got stuck in a pain cycle. Funny thing is I learned more about anxiety by going through this but I also developed a new symptom... headache with eye pain. Sadly, the list just seems to get longer. I was able to choose not to worry a good part of the day to day. My mood was much better but the anxiety of this week wore me out.
Very wise and powerful message. Yes moving from being effect to be a be more at cause over the reactive mind it's definitely the right step. Practice should raise the confront. I think one important tool when in emotional pain is a long walk if one can do it. Forcing to really pay attention to the surrounding. From my understanding often the pain is associated to past memories and incidents and we are kind of unconsciously stuck there in time. So long walk or phisical activities like cleaning thoroughly an house for example can move us in the present and remove some of the attentions that are stuck there and gives pain. That's at least what I understood by reading certain books from a wise man. He wrote them in the 50's.
Also consider that things in the environment that resemble things located in past traumas can trigger that incident containing the pain or painful emotions and the unconscious mind see it as danger as it cannot differentiate... So if our environment some time seems to overwhelm consider time to time to change it so to give yourself a break. Just wanted to share some of the knowledge I learned through some books I read. I'm still myself keeping learning in an attempt to overcome this. I'm in the same boat. Wish you the best to everyone
I am learning that even though I have symptoms I have no restrictions and since I have no restrictions I am already healed it’s a tough thing to grasp but your right I am being brave by doing everything in life I want to do with or with out pain thanks again Dan for all your videos 🙂
Yes, a tough thing to grasp. Spend time on the fundamentals. Watch my fast start playlist to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and, more importantly, what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Thanks Dan will do I am empath person I bought some books on being an empath because with being a people pleaser and highly sensitive person it prolly is reason why I started getting pain but not sure if it really matters if I read the books or not what do u think of empaths and PDP thanks
I love that you have simplified something that is petrifying to most of us so thank you isn’t enough we all have light at the end of the tunnel and we will be stronger thanks to you, I have had every therapy going and stuck to them for years but no cure but I understand it all now how to get the other side of my self 🙏❤️
1600 wow wow wow so amazing what a creativity ❤ to say the same message every day in a different way 👋👏I am very brave 😊visited an old lady today 93 yrs old I ran into her months ago she said I am lonely would you like to come and drink coffee with me today I visited her Daniel loved her layed down on her feet so sweet and the visit was awesome what a sweet lady I promised to come soon again and I will. Symptoms sparkling but calmly accept them and continue to walk on the road of recovery 🚶♀️love you Dan and everyone else a big hug and smile from me 😘😘😘
So very true, Dan. Considering joining the group. I mentioned this a few videos back. I was assaulted when I was 11 in the month of August, had another similar incident at 15. And my dad died in August from cancer. Had a trauma crash with CFS symptoms (and pain, shoulder one side, neck on the other - radiates down the arms, chest...and these symptoms just came on shortly after the crash...with no physical activity besides not being able to sleep and and tossing and turning in sleep). Only thing ever confirmed so far is a larger kidney stone...still waiting to pass. Started to slowly get better and do better with safety etc watching you and others. Then August came about and everything came back hardcore along with varying facial and head tingling/sensations/pressure (but no headache)...but always leaves at night. Went to GP today and told him everything...and that i was scared (PDP much?). I asked if we need to do x rays/ct scan/mri etc for anything. He took it all in (bless him, he spends tons of time with his patients) and sat back and said I don't think any of that is necessary. If i had the slightest idea that we might need that I would order any or all of them. We could try lyrica etc but I dont really think that's it either. I just think it is your nervous system. And somehow that needs tuned down. Just really struggling with fatigue, especially in my legs, and how it seems to present in my head with those tingling/sensations, ibs, and the coming and going pain symptoms.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe you can get well. A good place to start is my fast start playlist. If you would like more direct help, consider the group. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html Group: www.PainFreeYou.com/join
What I am intrigued about, since I began 2 years ago, getting acquainted with the TMS subject is that, when I begin to walk and the pain begins, I slow down for 10/20 minutes and the pain diminishes and recides a lot and I get to increase the pace of the walk almost in the pace I wished, I get so relieved and very proud of myself and very happy I celebrate my victory and thank the heavens ! But in the following hours and day I remember that the pain had receided maybe because the muscle around the nerve had warmed up - inspite of my, so to speak, bravery - and not necessarily because I applied the strategy of TMS adequately....anyway....The next day when the pain reappears an overwelming feeling of dismal failure broods over and I can't help blaming myself for maybe having abused too much of my body ... sorry if I look whining ... keep fighting. ( I know I shouldn't use this term 'fighting' but I can't help it). My drama is that - although I'm able to swim without almost any pain, I need to walk to help me overcome depression ...
And congratulations for so many hours of videos in an fantastic and beautiful work and effort to convey the TMS and PPD techniques to try to help so many people around the world !!
You are not whining. However, everything about the fears is based on this being a body problem, not TMS. You cannot abuse your body with a brisk walk. Symptoms flaring is evidence of the brain perceiving danger. The body is perfectly fine. My fast start playlist is a great way to get a deep understanding of how this all works and what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Great job done...! Crossing 1600 informative vedios about tms related issues which are very useful for those who are suffering with them and making hell out of their symptoms. My heartfelt thanks to you and on behalf everyone who is beneficial thru these messages. Thank you and so kind of you...❤👍👍🙏🙏
Massive congrats Dan!! 🥳 I’m grateful for your dedication, God bless you! I continued with my dental studies because of the hope I found in your videos, so thank you ♥️
Hello Dan, thank you very much for your videos and everything you contribute, I would like to know your opinion on rheumatoid arthritis, is pain also related to the brain? Could it also be turned off? thank you so much
@dan I understand the concept. I understand what needs to be done. And I have two days totally motivated and then the third one comes and I get sad because of the sensations. My skin from head to toe hurts. I find it so hard to stay positive. I know that I am my own prisoner. But I don’t know how to structurally not care..
Not caring may not be possible now. But you can still KNOW what is causing the symptoms and calmly reassure yourself that you are and will be fine. If indifference seems impossible, do the next best thing. Expect the best and respond calmly if symptoms are there. ua-cam.com/video/PbLZkveFMvc/v-deo.html
@@PainFreeYou thank you for always responding Dan! I am trying to stay calm. Usually I would go lay in bed and be sad, but now I went on a walk in the nature and enjoyed myself more or less 😄
Hey Dan all i did was put my jeans on last friday and pulled my back or twisted it. Everyone, not on here, says i have pinnched a nerve. It is really excruciating and hardly moved since. If it is a pinched nerve what do i do? I am yelping and swearing all the time and when i sit for more than a few mins my back has seized up and then spasms everytime i step up or down with my left leg which is the leg i was putting in my jeans when it all pulled and twisted.
My pain all began bending over to put on my underwear. It was never an injury. The body is not that easily injured. Learn about the real cause of pain. Perceived danger. Putting on your jeans did not injure your body. An acute onset of TMS/Perceived Danger Pain (PDP) feels like an injury, even though it's not. ua-cam.com/video/GY3TejkWbAU/v-deo.html Watch my fast start playlist to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and, more importantly, what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Hi Dan I first want to say thankyou so much for your videos I have really made so much progress. I'm just wondering why my symptoms happen mainly at night now? My legs and skin ache and feel slight burn or tight. I think I saw a video about this busy can't find it. Thankyou again ❤❤ I do take pain relief because I struggle to sleep. During the day I can get on with things. What can I do for this. ?
@@PainFreeYou here in australia Dan it’s Friday night again and tomorrow will be Saturday, the day where I have to try my trex drumming again, I always feel anxious because symptoms have been on though out the week, but this time last week was different symptoms, I feel like I Jjst have to keep trusting the process despite symptoms and make it on the other side gradually, I also try to keep reminding my self that the brain has not regonised this activity as safe yet, it’s unbelievable redicoulous that playing drums in a Dinosaur shit can cause fatigue all week long. A normal person would finish and recover straight away and have a normal week, that’s where I want to be tho

Yes, I'm not sure it is quite an addiction, but more of a habit. And since the brains job is to keep us safe and alive, many of our negative thoughts are just warnings from a brain perceiving danger.
Congrats for the 1600th video💝Amazing work. What about people on thyroid medications (hypothyroidism)? Should they decrease? Can they stop 1 day? What is your take on this? Thank you.
Since I am not a doctor, I cannot make medication recommendations. However, according to medical opinion, Stress may exacerbate an underlying thyroid condition. For example, say hypothyroidism runs in your family. Under stress, your body releases the hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol can interfere with thyroid hormone production: It can stimulate the thyroid to work harder to create sufficient amounts of thyroid hormone. That said, there is ZERO downside to undertaking a process like I recommend of teaching the brain we are safe and lowering our time in fight or flight.
By the way sometikes going into action and produce something we are proud or helping someone can move ourself in an higher emotion and unstuck ourself from a lower one. Apparently emotions are in a scale on the bottom there is apaty and on the top enthusiasm and in between there are all the others like fear and pain etc.
Goodmorning Dan, Today i say to my woman. You wanne walk but you see a hole in the way. You don't wanne fall in that hole. So you wanne stop. But if you stop you can get any better. So you walk and do your thing and later you get a lot of symptons because its cold and you do to mutch and you think what have i done. And all the doubts begin. You got a autoimmunne disease ankylosing spondylitis. What have you done. Now i have more symptons. And all the doubts are back. What can i do about that. Thanks, Ray

Funny thing is I learned more about anxiety by going through this but I also developed a new symptom... headache with eye pain. Sadly, the list just seems to get longer. I was able to choose not to worry a good part of the day to day. My mood was much better but the anxiety of this week wore me out.
You are in the right place for recovery. Keep watching and focusing on what you want, not the symptoms or anxiety.
Courage is the missing link. It’s already in all of us. Im looking for and finding mine just now. Face your symptoms bravely. Thanks Dan!
You are welcome.
Thankyou for your kind and comforting words
My pleasure.
Very wise and powerful message.
Yes moving from being effect to be a be more at cause over the reactive mind it's definitely the right step.
Practice should raise the confront.
I think one important tool when in emotional pain is a long walk if one can do it. Forcing to really pay attention to the surrounding.
From my understanding often the pain is associated to past memories and incidents and we are kind of unconsciously stuck there in time.
So long walk or phisical activities like cleaning thoroughly an house for example can move us in the present and remove some of the attentions that are stuck there and gives pain.
That's at least what I understood by reading certain books from a wise man. He wrote them in the 50's.
About confront I read that what one confront eventually one can handle and things not admired tends to persist...
Also consider that things in the environment that resemble things located in past traumas can trigger that incident containing the pain or painful emotions and the unconscious mind see it as danger as it cannot differentiate...
So if our environment some time seems to overwhelm consider time to time to change it so to give yourself a break.
Just wanted to share some of the knowledge I learned through some books I read.
I'm still myself keeping learning in an attempt to overcome this.
I'm in the same boat.
Wish you the best to everyone
WHOOOHOOOO!!!! And keep going Dan ✅💚🪴✨
That's the plan.
One of your best Dan love it Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤
Thanks Joe.
I am learning that even though I have symptoms I have no restrictions and since I have no restrictions I am already healed it’s a tough thing to grasp but your right I am being brave by doing everything in life I want to do with or with out pain thanks again Dan for all your videos 🙂
Yes, a tough thing to grasp. Spend time on the fundamentals. Watch my fast start playlist to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and, more importantly, what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Thanks Dan will do I am empath person I bought some books on being an empath because with being a people pleaser and highly sensitive person it prolly is reason why I started getting pain but not sure if it really matters if I read the books or not what do u think of empaths and PDP thanks
Here is a discussion about empaths.

Thank you Dan for 1600 video's! Amazing, congrats!!❤🙏
More to come!
1600 wow wow wow so amazing what a creativity ❤ to say the same message every day in a different way 👋👏I am very brave 😊visited an old lady today 93 yrs old I ran into her months ago she said I am lonely would you like to come and drink coffee with me today I visited her Daniel loved her layed down on her feet so sweet and the visit was awesome what a sweet lady I promised to come soon again and I will. Symptoms sparkling but calmly accept them and continue to walk on the road of recovery 🚶♀️love you Dan and everyone else a big hug and smile from me 😘😘😘
Thank you with all my ❤
It's my pleasure Lenneke. That is very sweet you had some company with the lady.
So very true, Dan. Considering joining the group. I mentioned this a few videos back. I was assaulted when I was 11 in the month of August, had another similar incident at 15. And my dad died in August from cancer. Had a trauma crash with CFS symptoms (and pain, shoulder one side, neck on the other - radiates down the arms, chest...and these symptoms just came on shortly after the crash...with no physical activity besides not being able to sleep and and tossing and turning in sleep). Only thing ever confirmed so far is a larger kidney stone...still waiting to pass. Started to slowly get better and do better with safety etc watching you and others. Then August came about and everything came back hardcore along with varying facial and head tingling/sensations/pressure (but no headache)...but always leaves at night. Went to GP today and told him everything...and that i was scared (PDP much?). I asked if we need to do x rays/ct scan/mri etc for anything. He took it all in (bless him, he spends tons of time with his patients) and sat back and said I don't think any of that is necessary. If i had the slightest idea that we might need that I would order any or all of them. We could try lyrica etc but I dont really think that's it either. I just think it is your nervous system. And somehow that needs tuned down. Just really struggling with fatigue, especially in my legs, and how it seems to present in my head with those tingling/sensations, ibs, and the coming and going pain symptoms.

You're welcome.
1600 wow 🎉👏👏
What I am intrigued about, since I began 2 years ago, getting acquainted with the TMS subject is that, when I begin to walk and the pain begins, I slow down for 10/20 minutes and the pain diminishes and recides a lot and I get to increase the pace of the walk almost in the pace I wished, I get so relieved and very proud of myself and very happy I celebrate my victory and thank the heavens ! But in the following hours and day I remember that the pain had receided maybe because the muscle around the nerve had warmed up - inspite of my, so to speak, bravery - and not necessarily because I applied the strategy of TMS adequately....anyway....The next day when the pain reappears an overwelming feeling of dismal failure broods over and I can't help blaming myself for maybe having abused too much of my body ... sorry if I look whining ... keep fighting. ( I know I shouldn't use this term 'fighting' but I can't help it). My drama is that - although I'm able to swim without almost any pain, I need to walk to help me overcome depression ...
And congratulations for so many hours of videos in an fantastic and beautiful work and effort to convey the TMS and PPD techniques to try to help so many people around the world !!
You are not whining. However, everything about the fears is based on this being a body problem, not TMS. You cannot abuse your body with a brisk walk. Symptoms flaring is evidence of the brain perceiving danger. The body is perfectly fine. My fast start playlist is a great way to get a deep understanding of how this all works and what to do about it. ua-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html

Massive congrats Dan!! 🥳 I’m grateful for your dedication, God bless you! I continued with my dental studies because of the hope I found in your videos, so thank you ♥️
That is awesome!
Grrrr having a relapse after being perfect for months.
Don’t get discouraged! The relapses will get fewer and far between and won’t last as long
See if you can replace the Grrrr with an "that's interesting".

Hello Dan, thank you very much for your videos and everything you contribute, I would like to know your opinion on rheumatoid arthritis, is pain also related to the brain? Could it also be turned off? thank you so much
What does it take to be brave? Difficult when symptoms run thru the day.
@dan I understand the concept. I understand what needs to be done. And I have two days totally motivated and then the third one comes and I get sad because of the sensations. My skin from head to toe hurts. I find it so hard to stay positive. I know that I am my own prisoner. But I don’t know how to structurally not care..
Not caring may not be possible now. But you can still KNOW what is causing the symptoms and calmly reassure yourself that you are and will be fine. If indifference seems impossible, do the next best thing. Expect the best and respond calmly if symptoms are there. ua-cam.com/video/PbLZkveFMvc/v-deo.html
@@PainFreeYou thank you for always responding Dan! I am trying to stay calm. Usually I would go lay in bed and be sad, but now I went on a walk in the nature and enjoyed myself more or less 😄
Excellent. @@TheLilja9
Hey Dan all i did was put my jeans on last friday and pulled my back or twisted it. Everyone, not on here, says i have pinnched a nerve. It is really excruciating and hardly moved since. If it is a pinched nerve what do i do? I am yelping and swearing all the time and when i sit for more than a few mins my back has seized up and then spasms everytime i step up or down with my left leg which is the leg i was putting in my jeans when it all pulled and twisted.
My pain all began bending over to put on my underwear. It was never an injury. The body is not that easily injured. Learn about the real cause of pain. Perceived danger. Putting on your jeans did not injure your body. An acute onset of TMS/Perceived Danger Pain (PDP) feels like an injury, even though it's not.

Hi Dan I first want to say thankyou so much for your videos I have really made so much progress. I'm just wondering why my symptoms happen mainly at night now? My legs and skin ache and feel slight burn or tight. I think I saw a video about this busy can't find it. Thankyou again ❤❤ I do take pain relief because I struggle to sleep. During the day I can get on with things. What can I do for this. ?

1600 videos wow
How do you come up with new ideas each day 😂 please don’t stop them ❤️
All of the interactions with my coaching clients and comments here and on facebook give me plenty of ideas.
@@PainFreeYou here in australia Dan it’s Friday night again and tomorrow will be Saturday, the day where I have to try my trex drumming again, I always feel anxious because symptoms have been on though out the week, but this time last week was different symptoms, I feel like I Jjst have to keep trusting the process despite symptoms and make it on the other side gradually, I also try to keep reminding my self that the brain has not regonised this activity as safe yet, it’s unbelievable redicoulous that playing drums in a Dinosaur shit can cause fatigue all week long. A normal person would finish and recover straight away and have a normal week, that’s where I want to be tho

Do you feel like our mind is like a drug and we can easily get addicted to our bad thoughts?
Yes, I'm not sure it is quite an addiction, but more of a habit. And since the brains job is to keep us safe and alive, many of our negative thoughts are just warnings from a brain perceiving danger.
Wow that means I've watched 600 of your videos as I came in at video 1000! 😂
That's awesome! - Thank you for all the attention.
Congrats for the 1600th video💝Amazing work. What about people on thyroid medications (hypothyroidism)? Should they decrease? Can they stop 1 day? What is your take on this? Thank you.
Since I am not a doctor, I cannot make medication recommendations. However, according to medical opinion, Stress may exacerbate an underlying thyroid condition. For example, say hypothyroidism runs in your family. Under stress, your body releases the hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol can interfere with thyroid hormone production: It can stimulate the thyroid to work harder to create sufficient amounts of thyroid hormone.
That said, there is ZERO downside to undertaking a process like I recommend of teaching the brain we are safe and lowering our time in fight or flight.
By the way sometikes going into action and produce something we are proud or helping someone can move ourself in an higher emotion and unstuck ourself from a lower one.
Apparently emotions are in a scale on the bottom there is apaty and on the top enthusiasm and in between there are all the others like fear and pain etc.
I just discovered you some months ago, did you really make 1600 consecutive daily videos without a break!?
Yes I did.
Goodmorning Dan, Today i say to my woman. You wanne walk but you see a hole in the way. You don't wanne fall in that hole. So you wanne stop. But if you stop you can get any better. So you walk and do your thing and later you get a lot of symptons because its cold and you do to mutch and you think what have i done. And all the doubts begin. You got a autoimmunne disease ankylosing spondylitis. What have you done. Now i have more symptons. And all the doubts are back. What can i do about that. Thanks, Ray

I wonder if anyone has been free from Restless Legs by realizing that it is the brain that causes the symptom?
no but kratom freed me. its legal in most states. safe to no overdose bs its a plant. it has opiate qualities so everything will be all interesting to so careful if you have any sort of additicve personality
That I get, but I don’t believe in what I am saying, is it helping anyway? That saying it’s ok nothing dangerous and so on this is only pdp.
Is that the right way?
Because I have a hard time to convince myself.
Congratulations you are incredible helping so many ❤
It takes practice and consistency for the brain to believe it. The brain believes what we think and say most often.
Thank you I really hope i can turn this around.
And thank you for not giving up on me, and answering my same questions.
Congrats on 1600!
