It is always such a privilege to bring you success stories, and this one with Manya goes out with love to all of you but especially those of you with a POTS diagnosis. Manya was diagnosed with POTS at 18 and ended up completely debilitated and unable to function a year later. In this interview, she describes her journey through lifestyle changes, neuroplasticity work and then finally fully embracing a mindbody approach to resolving her symptoms.

00:00:00 Intro and about Manya
00:04:46 Symptoms started with blood pooling, dizziness and near fainting in college at age 18
00:09:05 Medical treatment and lifestyle advice had limited utility for her
00:11:06 Rock bottom occurred about a year in- total nervous system shutdown, stuck on the couch, dizziness, blurry vision and more
00:18:08 Differences between POTS and PPPD
00:21:24 Changes to nutrition helped a bit but the empowerment was really helpful
00:25:18 Fear-based lifestyle changes can be problematic
00:28:21 She started with a neuroplasticity program; it was an important cognitive-based first step; cons of these approaches
00:32:57 Anxiety, depression came up when she got married and then she was ready to do emotional work
00:36:36 Emotional work is a process that takes time (and may not follow the same timeline as symptoms)
00:39:34 What recovery looks like right now - she feels fine most of the time
00:41:42 Manya no longer meets the diagnostic criteria for POTS
00:48:51 Learning to attend to young/vulnerable parts of yourselves; memory reconsolidation
00:55:28 Creating safety in your body by building a new relationship with yourself
00:58:13 Being with whatever is (somatic tracking); what elements are important

Isn't it funny how you can be so dizzy and then watch something like this and then it calms down!
Her nervous system has become anti fragile and is able to bounce back from stressful events (the war in Israel) and not “crash” as she said… when we can bounce back and forth between stressful events to calm or somewhat calm is a huge healing sign
Thank you so much! Praying it continues upward🙏
The disautonomia component of Manya’s story resonates with me but also the explanation of how IFS helps with trauma processing, memory RE consolidation and inner child healing was very helpful.
Very good conversation and very helpful. As an aside, my youngest daughter is the same age as Manya and I saw the similarities. She’s adorable. So glad she’s doing so well!
Hi again! Im a couple weeks into watching your channel every day. Wanted to say again THANK YOU!! What you said about how we with symptoms recall our previous lives as perfect and symptom free but it’s not entirely true… so true haha I know I’ve always had some TMS type symptom and sensitivities since I was a kid like Manya says. But the dizziness is the scariest and most debilitating by far!
Thank you for doing this interview and touching upon POTS/ Dysautonomia a lot of the deregulated nervous system mimics POTS!
Sure does!
Focus on what you CAN Control. There are are so many things in your life outside of the symptoms you do have control over. I guarantee you you can’t control your symptoms. Trying so hard just seems to turn up the volume. When a symptom arises I try to to talk to it and say…I can’t control you and turn to something I can. Realizing there were so many things I could Control in my life was comforting.
Yes! Empowerment is the opposite of helplessness. Thank you for sharing.
Wow this is just like me. Perfect timing I'm just starting to get super into ifs right now. Make perfect sense. Thank you for another amazing interview ❤🎉❤
I am so glad you saw this interview at the right time, Lucy ❤
Thank you Dr Yo for this great informative video! I loved hearing from someone with my exact diagnoses! And thank you Manya for sharing your story !
You're very welcome, Tara! I am so glad Manya's story resonated with you.
Thanks Manya and Dr. Yo!
You're very welcome, Lynn! ❤
Thank you. Another really interesting conversation full of wisdom. I’m learning about the IFS at the moment and it’s helped me. I’m also a recovering co dependent . I think there’s so many similarities between people that are more sensitive and these issues.
Thank you so much for your support, Jules! It truly means a lot and helps keep my course free ❤

Hi July, please consider joining my VIP coaching group where I hold weekly interactive sessions. thesteadycoach.com/services#group-coaching
For so many years with this dizziness. Every day I try to do my best, but I haven't job for years, there are certain places I can't go, especially these last few months are very difficult, I'm very dizzy, I think my boyfriend will break up with me soon. I couldn't be sadder. Sometimes it makes me want to die and end with all. I don't know which specialist to look for, what medicine to take, what exercise to do, which psychologist to go, I've tried everything in these 11 years! I'm very tired, And frustrated, especially today
And yeah my boyfriend broke with me after 11 years together …… im very very very sad

I have this too ( POTS/ dizziness)..which books do you ladies recommend?
The Way Out by Alan Gordon is a great one!
Hi, I was under severe stress for about 1 year for some reasons, and from the 6th month onwards, I got snowy vision syndrome and palinopsia, fortunately, I was able to control my stress to a great extent and return to a decent state, but I have these vision problems, in addition to diziness and tintinus, is there a way to completely get rid of these symptoms?
Yes! I go over this in detail in my free course thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@@TheSteadyCoach 🙏❤
Now which symptoms ur still struggling or have u fully recovered and no limitations
No limitations, living a full life, some sensations still, but mild and manageable.
I was diagnosed with POTS from a cardiologist and diagnosed with general dysautonomia and vestibular dysfunction. Is this all the same as neural circuit dizziness?
POTS and dysautonomia without an underlying medical cause are almost always a neural circuit problem. I would put your symptoms through the ppdassociation.org checklist (ppdassociation.org/ppd-self-questionnaire) so you can see how the characteristics match up with a neural circuit issue.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you! Yeah, so far there’s no underlying cause all the heart test came back normal. All my symptoms started after the death of my mom and after getting Covid. I was totally fine before all of that happened.
Did you also get headaches??
Yes I had some migraines and headaches.
I get this is inspiring but 80 percent of people that have this illness from teenage years grow out of it. She said it started in high school. Not as much hope for adults.
I hear you! The real POTS started when I was 18, and I know I wouldn't have grown out of it. The inner work was crucial for my recovery, and it's a life-long journey of taking care of myself. Sending healing wishes on your journey🙏
