Broke down making dinner while listening to this. This is by far one of the most helpful videos you’ve made absolutely . Thank you
To me, this has been one of the most helpful videos you’ve released and that’s saying something because all of your videos are like gold. Thank you. 💛
Thank you for saying that, I honestly agree, I think I finally managed to figure out how to explain this process in a step by step way, only took me a few years! 😆
Agreed!!!! 💯
I just had a dip
Yesterday, i was so mad. I have been feeling great for two months and wham, it’s made me mad and sad. I needed to see this
I swear you are spying on me sometimes lol. Your timing is just crazy and so on point sometimes. Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in so long. I ended up in the e.r was totally freaking out. I will take all of these steps … thank you so much you are the best !!!
I was thinking the same thing. Had a bit of a panic attack earlier today but made it through. Hang in there, we're going to make it with the help of this wonderful lady and doctor!
Dustin and Michael, I am so sorry you've had such terrible days. I know this does happen during recovery and it SUCKS. That's why I made this video. Quick suggestion- work on this stuff even when you're having a good day. It'll help you build the skills so when a bad day shows up, you already know the steps.
I feel like I make the same comment on every video of yours but I'm so thankful I found your channel!
Everyday when i get to work i play your Somatic Tracking For PPPD and Chronic Dizziness in my car before i go into the plant.
I love "you are not here to fix" you are here to make it through! Ahhh that makes me feel better already! This video is awesome and I want to cry from relief! I changed my diet ( just added some fermented food) and am getting dizzy but I want to help my gut be healthier but my brain doesn't like change and so there is " something inside me that is feeling mad and dizzy"! I said this to create some space! Thanks to you Dr.Yo I handled it pretty well today and I love you! xxoo Ava
Well done, Ava!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is very encouraging, even if one under stress.
I just felt it and almost lose my mind. I almost got a pill. Then, I put somatic tracking on my phone, passed through. Thank you so much for another great video!
WOW, bravo!!!! Well done!!!!
I could not thank you enough for this video!!!
I will have to relisten many times to implement.
No worries..... just NOW is enough ❤
YES!! Glad it resonated, I think it's one of the most useful videos here.
I will post it in Jim Prussack group!!
This brought so much comfort to me today. Last week was the first week of my recovery that I really felt like "Wow! This is actually working! I'm getting better." And lo and behold, this week has brought a cluster of disturbing new symptoms. Thanks to your channel, I had a heads-up that this might happen during recovery, but it has still felt fearful and terrible inside to navigate new symptoms. This video is so helpful to me in navigating this "dip" and trusting that my recovery isn't derailed and that it's instead a sign that healing actually IS happening. Your channel has made all the difference for me this past year, Dr. Yo!
Well done! Your recovery definitely isn’t derailed. You’re still moving forward!
I swear you are in my brain and know exactly what I need to hear 😆 Thank you so much for this. When I have a bad symptom day like today, the alarm bells go off, and I stop trusting myself and my ability to heal. These steps and your approach in general are so clear and useful. You are such a gift to this community that I wish I didn’t have to be a part of, but I’m so grateful I found you along the way. ❤️
I wish you didn’t have to be a part of it either but I am so glad I can be here for you in my way. You’re the one who has to do the work but I am cheering you on!
I had a bad symptom drift today. I have PPPD (dizziness) with wobbly legs but I get leg pain too often and today it was worse. I applied the technique of curiosity and smiled at myself and within few minutes the pain got lesser which was fascinating.
Fascinating and proof of concept!!!
Thank you sooooo much Dr Yonet...I know all this but it's so great to have a reminder...what would we all do without you . Your like a mother Hen to us.. ❤❤❤
Aww, so glad it’s helpful to have it organized this way!
Ive been working on vestibular issues 5 yrs feel off all day everyday, did vestibular therapy 4 different places. Unfortunately I now have a movement disorder called fnd.. a month after breaking my arm got pins plates put in. I have bad head tremors, which make my balance worse. Fnd has many symptoms. I'm my own advocate Drs are still learning about it.
I need to retrain my brain like many others it's horrible symptoms are like ms or parkinson's it does not show up on the brain, which is great but that's why Drs do not know how to treat it. I go to phy therapy for strength, vestibular I do at home, I do meditation, cbt deep breathing. We are trying to make Drs & others aware of Fnd.. thanks love your posts 🙂
Hi there! Many others here have the FND diagnosis! Don't worry, it's EXACTLY a neural circuit issue. This may not feel like good news but it is because this means it's a programming issue, not a hardware issue. It means you can get better.
My dip yesterday involved me freaking out big time and me going to hospital by ambulance, I had BAD adrenal rushes or almost constant panic for 10 hours, I was convinced I was very very sick and nobody was hearing me. The doctors in ER were so dismissive and very disrespectful. Thank you again Dr Yo for reminding me the moment to moment safety thoughts are paramount . I just freekin love you to bits xxxxx
Oh Liarne, that sounds horrible and I am so sorry for the way you were treated. You are not alone. Much love to you.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you darling one
Doctor Yo, you are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for being here for us.
Having one of those days so I really appreciate this video as a reminder! Thank you! 🙏🏾
First I want to start by thanking you for all you do for us dizzy people ❤ about 3 weeks ago I felt a little better(I have PPPD) So I decided to work out, I did some weights with just a bit of cardio, I felt great during the workout, but when I was done and sat down, I started feeling so dizzy again! So I freaked out! Haven’t worked out since that day which makes me sad because I really enjoy it 😢I’m scared to try again and feel worse since at the moment I’m not feeling too well.
This is normal. DON'T STOP! ua-cam.com/video/Jkp49oB3-CQ/v-deo.html
Thank you once again , these videos are so so helpful , the tools and your words mean everything ❤
Excellent video!!
Great info yet again. Thank you. ❤
Excellent. Thank you
Oh brilliant Yonit🙌🙏 you’re language around description to become aware and allow is so on point. It imbibes a “no need to fix - nothing is broken” perspective. During dips my sense is that “trust” is what we become bewildered about. But trust is a process + like faith it can seem to take a life time. However, the foundation we need to build on is what alludes us during dips and that is “….where is my sense of safety?” This is for me at the bottom of all “fear”, esp during dips. You didn’t use the word “compassion” BUT your total message was ALL ABOUT compassion! That practice of softness, pausing, following the awareness + allowance. I like to feel into a moments relief and say “…….I am open to “receiving” more safety, more resilience, more peace in mind + body. I sit with this watching whatever arises and as you say allow it all. The biggest lesson for me is that all that you say eliminates a “resistance” framework which equals pain and prolonged suffering and if we instead just watch the emotion/energy in the moment without the stories/limiting beliefs and witness/observe the “raw energy” of fear, dizziness, pain, anger, thoughts, behaviour it will move through and out of the body so much faster. This is a solid demonstration to us that we are no longer attaching to the energy that causes such distress and instead “trusting” more that the body knows precisely what to do.
YES! Beautifully described, Lynn!
This was amazing! It's the examples that are truly helpful because when you are already overwhelmed, it is hard to comprehend what is being asked. Thanks again. I am so grateful for you.
This video is a treasure!!!!!! 17 mins in…..wow.
Another just in time video. Thank you so much for this.
Kausta, so good to hear from you! How's the bike?!
@@TheSteadyCoach It’s working great. Last month went to a hill station for 5 days. Was so sceptical I wouldn’t manage but went anyways. Won’t say I didn’t experience anxiety and vertigo but I had tools to deal with it thanks to your videos. Your channel is god sent. Glad I went on that trip. Good time after so many years. Thank you so much.
Really needed this had one of the best days last week did a lot with minimal symptoms. I almost felt normal! How I did before getting poorly.
Then on Sunday my worst symptom showed up again! It’s the feeling like I’m going to pass out very strong. I used to have it a lot but it got less and less but it’s back 😢 I really needed this video thanks for all you do dr yo! ❤❤ update- just got to the part where you said dips are normal I’m crying from release thank you 🙏 yes I freaked out too! 😢
Tip number 2 is the key.
i want say to you, always thanks for all, you gave me hope and then health again ;) Ciao From Italy
Ernesto my friend. So good to see you here. It makes me smile to think of you back to living your life. PROUD OF YOU.
@@TheSteadyCoach thanks you very much for your kind and lovely answer 🙏😊 sometime I will send u an hello from Italy 🇮🇹 you are welcome here remember ciao
Hello wonderful doctor ❤.
Hi Esparanta!
Hi, can you do more details/ video's about eye and visual issues? Is it True that almost all people who suffer with pppd have eye issues? Because of the this? Or together with this? I still so alone in the visual issues. Especially the delay i feel all day. Wish you could get or explain much more details about it. Or maybe people who have stories.
I have Eye/vision issues too…. When the consistent dizziness started the vision issues also amped up. I would love to hear more about the vision systems too! Dr. Yo… any insight on this?
Thank you so much for this! I've made some notes, so I can remind myself of this process if I'm having another dip. The information for steps 1-4 is all very clear, but I'm not sure about step 5..... Could you give some examples of possible action steps? Thanks in advance!
It's so individual! Will make a short on this, stay tuned.
@The Steady Coach do you have this as a pdf on your website??? That would be amazing! Then we can just print the steps out ugh a little explanation to remind us and we can get to what dk in it! I know that would be really helpful for me anyway.
What a great resource it could be having a PDF. handy.
I'll consider this at some point, but in the meantime you're welcome to take some notes!
Also, I have been told I have eustatian tube dysfunction. It comes and goes with barometric pressure changes and weather. Is this another thing that your program can help me recover from?
Yes, and I have a video specifically on this topic coming soon!
How long do you have to go through these dips? It seems every time I think I’m about to turn a corner things get worse again and I’m 3 weeks into this “dip”. It’s like a punch in the gut 😢
While no one can predict how long, when people learn to react to the dips differently and have a sense that things are going to be ok no matter what happens, they go away faster and happen less often, eventually tapering off.
Dr yonit your videos are just brilliant
Is 100% recovery possible because i have having chronic dizziness since 1 yr and am doing everything which is possible but still can't tackle this thing
And i hear that this dizziness is very difficult to treat as there is no much research i just feel very unmotivated, anxious and frustrated, i just want to feel normal again
It is possible. It is not easy, but it is possible. A lot of what you're hearing is because it is not being treated appropriately.
I felt like I was doing better and I went to a new vestibular therapist today and she told me I probably have cabal dehiscence syndrome. I feel like she stressed me out and set me back. I’ve never even heard of that.
I’m sorry you were told that. For what it’s worth, superior canal dehiscence is not something a PT should be diagnosing based on symptoms. Please see a neuro otologist , there are special tests that can definitively tell you if you have it or not.
And can this cause light sensitivity where it’s uncomfortable walking from one room to another?
Definitely. ua-cam.com/video/1g4nelB4MUg/v-deo.htmlsi=GUTbdaW5AWvZ0YrV
What about dizziness with tinnitus.???
Tinnitus is very common with dizziness, will have videos out about tinnitus shortly, in the meantime there's this one: ua-cam.com/video/e8TYzIz3sFg/v-deo.html
I tried this with an anxiety feeling because I'm considering flying 20 hrs with Pppd and claustrophobia and I don't know if I can do it. So I worked thru to attune and allow. But when I asked myself what would I do if I trusted myself, I came back with a self soothe exercise. Is this then fixing ?
It did help though
Self soothing may absolutely be what you need at a specific time. The key is in asking yourself if you’re just trying to apply a quick fix or if it’s coming from an attuned place!
@@TheSteadyCoach I think it's coming from the right place because I would normally do the protective strategies I identified in an earlier step
Does this course help people with thyroid issues but also with anxiety/panic and depression?
The course will not solve physical disease, but uncomfortable symptoms and anxiety and panic definitely, all symptoms are biopsychosocial and my course addresses the psychosocial components in great depth.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you! I don’t have a thyroid and my levels are so unstable because of stress (anxiety and depression and panic). I want my nervous system calmed down so that I can get the levels stable.
Recovering from anxiety... i sometimes feel dpdr sometimes not when im engaged in a activity.. but my head feels like heavy and numb and do my eyes.. vision is weird sometimes and lights feel dull..outside environment seems off...anyone feeling similar symptoms
Yes me 😭😭😭
@@gracekazadicoaching are you on any meds
@@aneeshkumar9704 No my dear
@@aneeshkumar9704 you?
@@gracekazadicoaching when i had severe panic attacks i used to take blood pressure meds..now no anixety just some floating feeling and bit of dpdr which will go away with time. Now i take iron & zinc pills and vitmanin b12
I will think abt taking magnesium too if needed
Yeah I get pretty upset at myself when I take one step forward and feels like two steps back but it may not be but this whole year has been really rough since a bppv attack in January I'm really struggling going places and riding in the car is really hard I just get so dizzy and scared does anybody else have a hard time riding in the car
Yes I do
I’m fine in the car, but laying down with my eyes shut I feel like i’m on a boat
I can relate with the dizziness and floating on a boat feeling. I had a recent episode and got stuck in all intrusive thoughts. It has robbed my life
Yes. It has gotten better but the longer I drive the more likely I will have problems. My amazing VT (who got me free from complex BPPV) says exposure exposure exposure. I started by just driving short distances without a destination ir errand. Just driving. Go when there is less traffic and start when it is not raining. If you are afraid, ask a friend to take you to the mall sometime when it is closed and drive around. That way there is less fear and more safety. If you have visual symptoms skip it and work on it when you don’t have so many. I’m still working on that. If I have to ride far I will take a little meclizine to take the edge off and give me more confidence. It is hard though, I know.
Can relate to this so much
It says age not found? Where is the free information for me to start?
Please try the link again, the server was down earlier.
@@TheSteadyCoach okay I will try again thank you very much
I clicked on the other link, charging $250.00? How is someone on disability suppose to afford that? You should not state something is free when it is not. Maybe there is something wrong with my email, but the free course etc. is not available. Can you help me please.
The week by week program is indeed a paid program, but it is optional. The free course is linked directly below it. Edited to add: the server was down earlier, please try the link again.
