Wow this is me, 10000 percent . I’m only halfway through. Thank you for posting this ! I’m on a walk now pushing through the symptoms and listening with my 2 month old
I’m sitting here watching all these recovery stories with so much hope that I can get past this. I noticed my dizziness starts when I talk about really heavy things. I appreciate this very much and appreciate you bringing awareness to this topic, I think you’re the only person who talks about this topic In such depth and understanding
Thanks a lot whitney and Dr Yo... I ve been through Pppd for 20 years now with ups and downs and 2 years ago I came across your channel. Everything became clear after years of medical tests and misunderstanding from the doctors here in France. Same profile childhood and personality as Whitney and same process. Here I am nearly healed and so grateful to you. After 20 years I can really say I m feeling 95 percent better... I sort of invented my healing protocole thanks to your channel and followed it. My doctor in France is now aware of this disease and can give my healing example to other patients. So amazing! I would love to share 20 years of Pppd and how I managed to heal in a few months... Your channel really saved my life such as Whitney 's ...
Thank you so much, Whitney and Dr. Yo. I heard so much of my story here. Thank you for your courage to share the experience of suicidal ideation, which is a reality for so many of us with chronic conditions but not often discussed. And I also needed to hear that recovery while raising young children is possible. Sometimes the demands of parenting can feel too big for recovery, and this shows me what is possible for me, too. @TheSteadyCoach, I want to work with you, but I cannot make the live class times you have listed on your site. What is the best way to access your practices and exercises? Your channel here or a specific program you offer? And is there a way to work with you individually? I am so grateful for all that you do.
It's very scary to know we can have this for 20 or 30 years so it's seems it can never fizzle out on its own so does this mean the brains neuroplasticity is not working?
Thank you so much Dr Yo. I developed dizziness, brain fog and that feeling of walking marshmallows after having relationship issues and a minor medical problem which was tricky to diagnose. No doctor or specialist could find anything wrong with me and I was starting to think my life as I knew it was over but luckily I found your videos after randomly typing my symptoms into TH-cam. I did your course and now feel almost completely better. I really hope doctors learn about this soon so others don't suffer like I did.
You just made my entire evening. Thank you for trusting me at such a dark time in your life. It is my privilege to be able to help. And yes I am working on the doctors! I am giving talks and all my resources to any physicians who will listen!
@@staciehrv6387it’s definitely possible. It’s important to become very mindful of what creates stress in your life and immediately take counter measures when it pops up. Best of luck on your recovery.
I started to cry listening to this interview. I experienced the same, just that I am single mom so I got zero help from anyone with my kids. I am happy to hear about your recovery! Dr Yo should get a Nobel price for doing this work! I have also been successfull business owner, now I ended up living in my former kids room at my parents, completely financially and mentaly broken, my parents helping me with the kids and me beeing most of the time dizzy or sick from beeing dizzy or having panics from getting dizzy. I completelly had to drop my former identity. This is hard. But at the lowest, I also feel somehow happy, that the perfect image broke and I am now just good enough having nothing, doing nothing. The oposite of beeing perfect, which I was successfully playing since I was 18.
After seeing so many doctors who couldn’t diagnose this, I realize that that they need to be better educated. 2 neurologists diagnosed me with vestibular migraines (which I do have) but the attributed my non-stop dizziness to the VM. I just knew in my heart that they were wrong, but just dealt with it. I only started researching after I was attempting to explain to my physical therapist (for an ankle issue) what I had. When I couldn’t explain how migraines cause non-stop dizziness, I knew I had to take action on this. So happy that I found you!
Hi, I have exactly the same. Have had chronical migraines since I was 12 and now after stopping birth control to have a baby everything changed. I didn’t had headaches anymore. But it started with having exactly these visual symptoms like Whitney 24/7. And my neurologist also said your migraine is changing his pattern and now it is more vestibulair. But I couldn’t believe it could be there all the time. And after being in this dark period for 5 months I vale upon the steady coach. And for the first time I believe I will get better. So my journey to healing still needs to start, and the vestibulair migraine will maybe make it complicated(cause it’s hard to tell if it comes from the migraine or from the pppd) But hope to get through it. Hope for you the same.
Im 72 and otherwise healthy and strong but I've been tetering between recoveries and relapsing and fighting discouragement. Looking forward to learning and practicing new things. Thank you!
@@TheSteadyCoach Somewhat of a relief to see that boomers can also heal from this. I'm a 73 year old personal trainer who had covid. The timing of my symptoms has me convinced that my symptoms are from long covid (LC), yet I now realize I was very stressed the fall & winter prior. Am still waiting for a diagnosis (Dr. appt. next month with well known dizzy doc in Chicago). I'm expecting they won't find anything abnormal as there isn't a specific test for LC . Do you have any support groups of people that have recovered...especially boomers? I think us mature ones have the additional concern that we won't have enough time left to make a full recovery while our bodies are also declining from age and it's hard for us to exercise. Oh, one more thing - I had L eye cataract replaced last year. Didn't do the other eye. Sometimes I think my lopsided vision might be exacerbating it. Thanks Dr. Yo and to the lovely Whitney for this articulate interview.
Ahhh I have been feeling this way since last year in august .., almost a year … I have gotten a better but it’s still there. I have definitely noticed that when i am stressed out it gets to me more.
Wow! Another great interview. Thank you for the hope. Loved this. And the comment about "rushing", cracked me up. I am always rushing. Lol. Gotta slow down. 3.5 months into my dizziness.
I have found you very early. After 4 weeks of symptoms and after I got told I have to wait a week for appointment with the doctor. I have a child (1 y 4m) and felt like a failure even questioned myself why I did want to have kids. Because I have had anxiety attacks before. I guess I have one thing tho the need to make it better for my child. I have noticed the anxiety came after having symptoms of dizziness and nauseous this time. And it really hit me I really do notice everything that changes while normally I don’t. I want to do perfect for my child and with adhd it’s kinda exhausting. And the part of the generation stuff is so true. I don’t really blame my parents. But they really feel they are being blamed because I want to do things differently. So adds more stress. I really hope my adhd brain can stick to this course❤️
This was profound for me! I’ve been in that dark place and I still cry daily (mostly because I have a lot of feelings to get out). I’ve started feeling better the past few weeks I’ve starting working on myself. I’m starting vision therapy soon to assist with my vision, I’m nervous but excited to get to 100%! You’ve inspired me Whitney!!
@@WhitneyC-ke7ocHi Whitney...is there any way i could contact you? I just ...i have a few doubts about my vision and i just cant believe some stuff i feel is due to anxiety/ pppd anxiety stuff. You are the only one in all video's who describes a few examples you went through, so well..i wish i could just send you 1 email or something🙏🙏🙏
I love this video! Very helpful! I have 3PD , positional vertigo, and anxiety and I was wondering. Does anyone here have issues eating at restaurants! I have noticed that when I go out to eat, which is rare as of late, I am really anxious from the noise, lights, and dizziness. How do you handle being in a setting like that without being so anxious?
Im just so thankful that this didn't happen to me when I was raising a family and working. It would hsve been devastating.. My heart goes out to these young people..😢
The fatigue is very difficult. Your brain is working really hard to recalibrate for you the things that don’t make sense. It’s ok to Take breaks and rest too! Keep getting out there and living your life- you can get better!
This is so crazy this is me 10000% I wonder why I feel so exhausted at the end of the day and it’s because my brain has been working so hard all day dealing with dizziness that it’s so drained 😢
I love these success stories. I need more and more. If there are ppl hesitating to be interviewed because they need to show their faces on youtube (I would tbh), I don't mind if it's only audio!!
Thank you both so much. I’m so thankful to Whitney for sharing her healing journal. There’s hope! Dr. Yo, what you do matters. I love and appreciate your content. Thank you!
I loved this interview. Thank you! This is my story. I am in my late 30’ with a small child, embarking on something new in my career. I am slowly healing. So, thank you for being so vulnerable Whitney. You boosted my hope. And thank you Dr. Yo. What you do is life saving.
This is one of the BEST videos I have ever watched. Both of you ladies are incredible. I finally have HOPE I can get better! I've been suffering for about 20 years with many different things, but am hopeful to take the steps to get better.
I can relate to this story. I’ve been struggling for over 2 years. The visual symptoms are my worst symptom. Thank you for your videos I’m trying my hardest to accept that I’m ok. 😢
Thank you so much Whitney and Dr. Arthur. This is my story to the T. I also struggle so much with the anxiety of not being able to take care of everything and for everyone. I now come to understand that I connect my worthiness with my ability to function. Thank you for your insight.
This is so me. I have been dealing with this since 2016. Symptoms have really ramp up during times of transitions. Newly retired and things have been horrible again. This makes so much sense. I just thinking I had anxiety. I am looking forward to go through this course.
Great video. With the mention of 'rushing' towards the end, that also strikes a chord. I highly recommend the book Rushing Woman's Syndrome by Dr. Libby Weaver and it fits the same personality type, type A, high strung and reading it felt like she was writing about me. I am thankful to have found all of the videos you put out and have started the free course. Managing my stress response which has been ingrained in me since childhood issues, will be key. I love watching these success stories! I've been feeling these symptoms for about 4 years now but feel I've found the missing link I've been searching for. ❤
Wanted to come here and say Whitney's story helped me so much! Realizing there's nothing clinically wrong with me and it's a sign to slow down has me rethinking how I talk to my symptoms. I'm more of a believer than ever that it's how our brains think/react to things that causes these symptoms.
I’m also in Houston, having a hard time finding a vestibular therapy clinic… please share🙏🏼 I have been dealing with this for over 1 years, all testing has been normal. These stories give me hope.
Relate to so much of this. It gives me great hope. Appreciate Whitney’s sharing her story and Dr. Yo for conducting these inspirational and connective recovery stories.
I definitely think I have this , 4 years ago I had a panic attack and it started from there , I suffered for 2 years but then I seemed to get better as I stopped thinking about it and getting my life back but for the past 5 weeks all my symptoms have come back and now I’m back to square one again 😢
I'm sorry you are going through this, Charlotte, but there is hope! You can do this! You may be interested in this recent video as well th-cam.com/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fpy7OPY5ss5VGfVW
I had dental work done. I was fine for 3 days. I was given palexia and celocoxib. Which maybe contributed to this. I just want to lay down all the time too. I first had vestibular neuritis in 2004. I have been 95% better for years and now this again. I’m a nurse with 2 kids and a house with a mortgage I need to be better!!
Found this video in your Free course. Hearing all this brings so much emotions. Glad I found your channel. I always come back when the symptoms increase. Guess we have this cause we fought with our feelings now the only way to fight this is to feel our feelings.
Dear Dr. Yo, Thank you so much for this program. Your beautiful blue eyes and face are essence of concern, compassion, and understanding. I feel empowered by your knowledge and very grateful that you have selflessly provided this content. Many blessings to you. F
What an inspiring story! I am so thankful I found your channel. I have been dealing with these exact symptoms since contracting covid in November of 2022, months after starting a graduate program. Symptoms began to improve after 6 months, but am currently attending a research conference and am feeling a major setback. I could hardly get through my presentation. I’m guessing this is due to the constant busy environment that I have been mostly shielded from at home. I’m trying to stay hopeful and recognize the positive progress. I could hardly walk across the house a couple months ago and am now attending a conference out of town. Small wins!
I can identify with this lady. About a year ago I came down with similar symptoms. I was diagnosed with vertigo, balance issues anxiety etc. I am still experiencing these feelings. I am glad I found your channel. I want to work on myself as I listen to your videos.
Hola ,Dr.yo. ayer descubrí su curso y realmente este tipo de testimonios ayudan demasiado a seguir en este camino tan difícil, me da esperanza a mejorar. A mi me dan este tipo mareos crónicos en ciertas temporadas y también tengo en mente que se va pasar y volveré a estar al 100% . Tengo 17 años y desde los 5 años de edad es que experimenté vértigo por episodios, fue cuando entre a la adolescencia donde mi situación empeoró y se volvió algo crónico, pero sí, muchas cosas de las que dice Whitney son ciertas, y con el pasar de los años he podido masomenos identificar algunas cosas que me ayudan a tener una mejor calidad de vida, realmente su curso me ayudará a consolidar mucho este aprendizaje acerca de mi mareo. Enserio, muchas gracias de corazón y saludos desde Perú,lima ❤🙏
Dr Yo , thank you , I have had chronic dizziness for years which started out with lightheadedness and now full blown dizziness , you have given me hope , I found you by looking for a support group and BOOM ! you came to the rescue
Such a good interview Whitney. Thank you so much for these Dr Yo. Can I ask what sort of mental therapist did you have i.e. did they specialise in anxiety. I'm in the UK and don't know where to start.
Initially when I was told I had only anxiety, I began working with a therapist who specialized in EMDR therapy because I was unable to drive due to the panic attacks. I believe any type of emotional work you can do with or without a therapist is wonderful! Learning how to feel safe in your body and rewatching Dr Yo’s videos helped me tremendously
I've watched this twice now since Dr Yo posted in the membership community, thank you so much Whitney for sharing your story of hope. If you see this comment Whitney, I just wondered how long it took you to notice changes in the visual vertigo once you realised it was a brain prediction error, and was it gradual to start with? I have very similar symptoms to you, and the last month have managed to be much more accepting but find it hard to notice any physical change still..
Great question. I started feeling positive changes in the fall- so a couple months after finding the channel. It’s really hard to learn to “ ignore “ them but you have to have a mantra for yourself when you notice them. I’d say to myself “ ok brain- we have to feel it to heal it” and it would pass. At times things can still pop up and feel odd but we forget that our eyes are always adjusting to these things ( brightness, standing up too fast/ turning your head fast, watching a movie during a big scene). We are just now noticing so much and are hyper aware. I promise it does go away and becomes less frequent but don’t look for it. That kept my symptoms so much longer!
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc thank you so much for spending the time to reply! That's so helpful to hear. I love the phrase 'we have to feel it to heal it'. Your story does give so much hope :)
Bravo to this strong woman and well articulated story. This could be my story. I can relate to all of this - with different symptoms but as a mother of two kids. I relate to feeling like I might die and that life will move on without me because I can’t do all that I could. Having a hard time playing smiling laughing with them, swimming with them taking them to games etc… list goes on. It’s a hopeless feeling. Feeling unworthy and unloved. This hit home. Kids are very perceptive and they can feel my pain. This is so hard. Watching videos like this does help a bit to shift my thinking, but feel I need more help.

@@TheSteadyCoach thank you Dr. Yo for replying. I have looked into your course and I have been sort of waiting to do it because my diagnosis have me all confused and a little mixed up. After a small fall (didn’t hit my head) I started getting dizziness and dissociation feelings and I’ve been told I have a concussion. 6months later I am worse and something keeps telling me it’s not right. I’m told most people 70% heal within 6 weeks to 3months. So then I started thinking why is this continuing for me?But that’s my personality- skeptic, keep searching , be diligent keep going, I’m scared to do anything because they told me not to. I continue to watch your videos because you are so knowledgeable and comforting to listen to. Something keeps bringing me back here. Something keeps telling me there’s a mindbody element at play- but I can’t be sure. I want to dive into the strategies to try but I’m scared. I do believe I will be a success story one day now to really allow my subconscious to believe it too. Even without knowing if this all applies to me I want to say thanks. You are like a lifeline at times and I cry with hope listening to your encouragement. I’ve viewed other channels but yours is special .
Whitney, you are so strong. Your determination and conviction come through so strong for me and really resonate. I’ve listened to this video so many times because the way you explain your thought processes and beliefs that got you through this process bring me so much comfort because I see your personality so much in the me before this dizziness got a hold of me .I know I’m going to get back to that person one day it’s just so difficult to see right now. Thank you for sharing your story
Congratulations and what an amazing and inspirational recovery story! So much of it deeply resonated with me, especially the parenting challenges. I have had very similar feelings about disappointing my children while I've been recovering. I hope I can one day share a recovery story too.
What a wonderful testimony. Very inspiring. Appreciated the comment about rushing. Fits me to a tee! I’m working on your free course now. I too found you early after the dizziness started, but I’ve had migraines for over 20 years. So I wonder if that will impact my recovery from dizziness? Do both symptoms heal at the same time?
Love these stories! They give me hope for recovery one day. I’ve had pppd for 7 months now and I do believe I am on track for getting better. I still have 24/7 baseline dizziness I’d say like a 2 or 3 out of 10 level. I noticed these last 3 months that I’m no longer triggered by anything even grocery stores and that my dizziness has just remained the exact same at baseline. Oh and I still have light sensitivity. But I’ve felt stuck now like is my baseline dizziness ever going away I haven’t seen improvement in these last 3 months. I’m curious on your thoughts Dr. Yo
I think thats my story same symptoms with same condition thanks alot dr for making this kind of videos during my healing journey because of you i am going to start feeling good again 😊
Amazing interview thanks both! I can relate to so much of this and in times of still feeling symptoms I also say to myself I’m ok! I’ve been here so many times and I’m ok! Also that SO many people in general as you said Dr Yo, experience dizziness or symptoms for no apparent reason and spontaneously get better and I know that I personally forgot that I’d ever experienced dizziness before when it f course I had! Thank you 😊
Hey whitney, great video. I have 100% all the same symptoms, exact the same. Can you please write what did you do exactly that it getting better? You said a few things that helped, but it would be great to hear aaalll the stuff. I have this symptoms for 4 years and everyday is really bad and nobody can help me.. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you 😊
You are not alone, Cora! Please consider taking my free course on healing chronic dizziness. thesteadycoach.com/free-course It is a great place to start and we have had amazing feedback. There is hope!
I can relate so much to Whitney! I just turned 40, mom to three youngsters, im going to 1 year of PPPD. Dr. Arthur, how can I get on your waitlist for coaching? I’ve taken your free on line course thus far and watched your videos.
Currently, I am only seeing clients out of my VIP coaching group. I still have a waitlist, but you can learn more about the VIP coaching group here: thesteadycoach.com/services#group-coaching
I wonder if there’s a correlation with foods, i.e. coffee, or an x-ray in the past just thinking of some kind of radiation poisoning. I’ve also looked into the Havana syndrome. It’s a bit conspiratorial, but very strange that it only happens to certain people. I’m in the middle of this right now and it does feel awful. I’m keeping positive trying to work through it. I’m actually back at work. I don’t have vertigo but I do have dizziness and derealization, and my vision is hazy.
Hi Whitney. Your story speaks for me. I have BPPV and after my first attack in 2023 I got PPPD. I'm terrified of the fact that my attacks are too frequent and this intensifies my symptoms. Sometimes I can't tell if it's actually BPPV or PPPD because I don't always have nystagmus. Do you still have BPPV attacks or have you been calm since then.? For me, they appear in every situation, when I sit, lie down, when I walk and because of that the stress deepens.
When did the visual snow go iv got all these symptoms but the snow is so frustrating I try to just watch it without judgement every time but it just keeps coming
Best to start with a medical exam to make sure there is nothing medically wrong. If your doctor clears you, then please take the course. It is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
i also wanted to share and ask like i feel i can't hear anyone in the day to day life talk about feeling dizzy because it makes me uncomfortable like if i am outside with a friend and all of a sudden they say something like oh i just felt a bit dizzy it makes me uncomfortable and fearful even though for them the dizzy feeling was just a few second thing that their brain did not make anything out of but for me just the word makes me feel off and even watching shows where they mention the words or like falling or any other words associated with dizziness i feel like i cant watch the show anymore like i feel the words have become like a trigger for me and make me uncomfortable, how can i deal with this dr.yo please help
It’s good that you’re noticing this Mindy. I’d recommend using the technique I talk about in this video when you hear words that make you anxious: th-cam.com/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Yo, I’m really struggling with being able to sit in a chair without having the feeling as if I’m going to fall or pass out. Any suggestions that could help me overcome this?
So interesting, I developed dry eye literally overnight with the eye issues along with many other similar symptoms. I'd be interested to know why the dry eye becomes part of this.
everyone's body has a natural sway to it and its normal to move a bit from side to side but why is it that the smallest millimiter movement sway makes me feel so extreme and scared? is there a way to overcome the sway?
Please help me ,like Whitne I stated with very bad vertigo 3 weeks ago iv been taking stencil and dextramexrazone but the spinning has stopped but the light heaviness and feeling of floating is still here every day I havnt been able to function or look after my children I can not walk with out feeling like I’m floating my son is crying thinking I’m very poorly I need help to get my life back
Please make sure you see your doctor to ensure there is nothing medically wrong but also take the free course, it will walk you through this step by step. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Mam plz reply can this disorder affects vision because i have severe eye strain.it also developed eye floters in my both eyes My other symptoms are somehow managable but this symptom make my life hell .i am so much sad and sucidal about my life plz help me regarding this
Thank you for this interview! I’m taking a trip after 2 years when all of this began.. But when I walk outside at nighttime with the artificial bright lights is so difficult.. I went to a restaurant and I was so foggy tired and disconnected.. is it normal? I sometimes wonder if those symptoms seem more neurological than vestibular.. I take it as my nervous system being hyper vigilant but even if lately I’m doing better and I’m less scared this symptoms doesn’t seem to improve..
@@mal-nx6xs thank you, because it’s a very tough one! What I hate the most about it is that it completely wipes me out and I feel disconnected, if it was just the discomfort of the lights I’d put sunglasses on!
You’d benefit from watching this one! Exposure is not the only thing that is important to calm the nervous system. th-cam.com/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/w-d-xo.html
Hey Dr. Yo! I have been following along and using your techniques the last 6 months or so. I was feeling really good for awhile, and then seeming to have "flare ups" on some days. I know that you have mentioned that this is normal, but I can't help but think that it's something tissue related (cause I am anxious about it obviously - doesn't help that I am already a hypochrondriac). Is it really normal to have days/weeks/months of no symptoms, and then have them hit you like a truck all at one time? Any advice or insight would be realllly appreciated!! Feeling discouraged after some days/weeks of relief :(
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc thank you! Did the lights make you feel like disconnected and foggy? Because that’s the worst feeling for me, more than the light sensitivity itself
What can I do my final symptom which is while watching tv it makes me dizzy and watching moving traffic I keep doing my breathing but is there something more I can do
Hi Kimberly, there’s a lot more that you can do- please see the driving video for more info th-cam.com/video/C3Tv8VckwuU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iG5c_rUpf7asJQIW
I did and will continue to watch it. it’s powerful and I thank you God bless you thank you and am on the right road becoming stronger being 61 years old and this happen to me 6 1/2 months ago is hell but with this and your help it’s amazing I was bed ridden the firstc2 months and now each day I am on the right road thank you
Hi Dr Yo, I have a question when it comes to anxiety. Whitney said her symptoms were still present when she wasn't anxious on ssris. I have been dizzy since early May this year (all tests done, nothing wrong medically) and i have discovered that when i take alprazolam, my dizziness goes away. I know alprazolam is not an ssri, but I don't understand how can it take the dizziness away? Is it a good or a bad idea to take it during chronic dizziness recovery? I feel like I need to have it with me, in case my symptoms give me a panic attack, which has happened multiple times before. I don't know if I'm hindering my own recovery with alprazolam. Should I stop taking it even if it helps with the dizziness?
Alprazolam is anti anxiety and also turns the vestibular system down. While I can't advise you directly, in general it's not good to take it often because there is some indication that it can prevent your vestibular system from adapting. Taking it occasionally if needed is usually fine.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much for your reply, Dr Yo! I'm gonna try and manage without it ❤️ Signed up to your free course today. Thank you for everything you do!
This was a part of the balance therapy I did for that 8-12 weeks. I’ve done some crazy things in PT ( wearing a laser on my head and having to trace letters on a backdrop with very slow movements while my eyes adjusted ) to name one. Bilateral stimulation etc. Long term I’m not sure that I can credit healing to this. In the moment it helped, but since I didn’t have tissue damage (say if I had been in a car accident), I wasn’t healing from something like that. I know Dr Yo talks a lot about brain prediction error and while I know it feels like there must be more too it- there wasn’t for me. It truly was something overtime I could’ve recovered from once I stopped chasing more and more treatments and more and more doctors. This was a very hard part of it bc it kept feeling like there had to be more I could do to heal. You can heal from this!!!
Dear Doctor A, I am sorry to bother you but have to ask Is it that I am dizzy because my brain can't keep up with the information coming in and the balance part of the brain is sensitive due to PTSD / stress, OR are all these sensations normal and natural things happening in my body that I should not be able to feel see or detective but it the hypersensitive nervous system its hyper-aware due to trauma. You know I have healed myself of Gastroparesis chronic constipation, and POTs a bit better fibro and more but this dizziness 24/7 and worse while going to sleep and IN sleep is the symptom that is causing me hell in my life. Thanks, doctor been a bad week had a fever of 103 with the flu it has pushed me to this point of despair. I do love you and am very grateful and thought by now I would be teaching too but it didn't turn out that way, Ava
i get this sensation that i havent heard many mention before where when im standing and i get this feeling of being on an elevator and the elevator stops to open to the floor but theres a litttle jump right when the elevator stops and i get that sensation but havent heard anyone else mention it, is there any way to fix that or look at it and understand what is going on Dr. Yo because that is really scary for me and i dont even want to go on elevators because im afraid that sensation will linger on. do you know why this happens or any advice please?
Hi Mindy, yes others have described this sensation. My best advice is not to focus on specific sensations and trying to fix each one, but trying to figure out why your brain is sensitive in the first place.
@@TheSteadyCoach i think its sensative because of the lingering sensation of movement that remains even after but i dont know what to do with knowing that
Hi! Wanted to tell you, my processing problem with my eyes is getting a bit better finally. However, there is a thing i wanted to ask still. My eyes are checked and totally fine. But, still,when i look at my phone, its hard to type normal a text. Like every word i typ at least 1 letter wrong. When i write on a paper, it is hard, like not seeing sharp and the movement of my hand feels not synchrone. I can not really focus well on thing that are close to me...but my eyes should be fine! According to the eye doctor. Do you understand why my eyes feel like this? Not good focussing close & also far away. And the writing stuff?🙏
Please!!!! could anyone help me with this; i feel like i just cant really focus on anything when i am walking outside. Things that move or when i move is really making me so scared. It is getting worse every day now and i am.starting to loose hope. When i walk i cant look at trees, leaves, grass, people that are 10 meters away that move, when i am outside walking, i just feel so off! I can see, but its just like i cant focuss clearly when moving..please anyone who read this and knows what i am talking about.. please tell me if i am weird or not. My eyes are healthy they are checked. .i do have slow processing with eyeskills! Apparently my brain does not process stuff normal since pppd.
Only by definition (pppd is a list of symptoms and they don’t include vertigo, but that is the way they defined it). Vertigo often has a physical cause but not always. Neural circuit dizziness sometimes includes vertigo.

Wow this is me, 10000 percent . I’m only halfway through. Thank you for posting this ! I’m on a walk now pushing through the symptoms and listening with my 2 month old
I’m sitting here watching all these recovery stories with so much hope that I can get past this. I noticed my dizziness starts when I talk about really heavy things. I appreciate this very much and appreciate you bringing awareness to this topic, I think you’re the only person who talks about this topic In such depth and understanding
There is hope, Crystal! ❤
Thanks a lot whitney and Dr Yo... I ve been through Pppd for 20 years now with ups and downs and 2 years ago I came across your channel. Everything became clear after years of medical tests and misunderstanding from the doctors here in France. Same profile childhood and personality as Whitney and same process. Here I am nearly healed and so grateful to you. After 20 years I can really say I m feeling 95 percent better... I sort of invented my healing protocole thanks to your channel and followed it. My doctor in France is now aware of this disease and can give my healing example to other patients. So amazing! I would love to share 20 years of Pppd and how I managed to heal in a few months... Your channel really saved my life such as Whitney 's ...
PLEASE, Anne, I would love to interview you!! Please email me at info@thesteadycoach.com!
I too have suffered for about 30 years.
Girlie please share that with us 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Whitney and Dr. Yo. I heard so much of my story here. Thank you for your courage to share the experience of suicidal ideation, which is a reality for so many of us with chronic conditions but not often discussed. And I also needed to hear that recovery while raising young children is possible. Sometimes the demands of parenting can feel too big for recovery, and this shows me what is possible for me, too. @TheSteadyCoach, I want to work with you, but I cannot make the live class times you have listed on your site. What is the best way to access your practices and exercises? Your channel here or a specific program you offer? And is there a way to work with you individually? I am so grateful for all that you do.
It's very scary to know we can have this for 20 or 30 years so it's seems it can never fizzle out on its own so does this mean the brains neuroplasticity is not working?
Thank you so much Dr Yo. I developed dizziness, brain fog and that feeling of walking marshmallows after having relationship issues and a minor medical problem which was tricky to diagnose. No doctor or specialist could find anything wrong with me and I was starting to think my life as I knew it was over but luckily I found your videos after randomly typing my symptoms into TH-cam. I did your course and now feel almost completely better. I really hope doctors learn about this soon so others don't suffer like I did.
You just made my entire evening. Thank you for trusting me at such a dark time in your life. It is my privilege to be able to help. And yes I am working on the doctors! I am giving talks and all my resources to any physicians who will listen!
@@TheSteadyCoach Aww yes your work really changed my life. Great to hear bout the doctors. I really hope the words spreads fast. Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
Where can I find the course or videos to learn to heal?
Wow you sound exactly like me! I'm hoping that we can get to the point of recovery and/or at least management. Sending love.
@@staciehrv6387it’s definitely possible. It’s important to become very mindful of what creates stress in your life and immediately take counter measures when it pops up. Best of luck on your recovery.
I started to cry listening to this interview. I experienced the same, just that I am single mom so I got zero help from anyone with my kids. I am happy to hear about your recovery! Dr Yo should get a Nobel price for doing this work! I have also been successfull business owner, now I ended up living in my former kids room at my parents, completely financially and mentaly broken, my parents helping me with the kids and me beeing most of the time dizzy or sick from beeing dizzy or having panics from getting dizzy. I completelly had to drop my former identity. This is hard. But at the lowest, I also feel somehow happy, that the perfect image broke and I am now just good enough having nothing, doing nothing. The oposite of beeing perfect, which I was successfully playing since I was 18.
After seeing so many doctors who couldn’t diagnose this, I realize that that they need to be better educated. 2 neurologists diagnosed me with vestibular migraines (which I do have) but the attributed my non-stop dizziness to the VM. I just knew in my heart that they were wrong, but just dealt with it. I only started researching after I was attempting to explain to my physical therapist (for an ankle issue) what I had. When I couldn’t explain how migraines cause non-stop dizziness, I knew I had to take action on this. So happy that I found you!
Hi, I have exactly the same. Have had chronical migraines since I was 12 and now after stopping birth control to have a baby everything changed. I didn’t had headaches anymore. But it started with having exactly these visual symptoms like Whitney 24/7. And my neurologist also said your migraine is changing his pattern and now it is more vestibulair. But I couldn’t believe it could be there all the time. And after being in this dark period for 5 months I vale upon the steady coach. And for the first time I believe I will get better. So my journey to healing still needs to start, and the vestibulair migraine will maybe make it complicated(cause it’s hard to tell if it comes from the migraine or from the pppd)
But hope to get through it.
Hope for you the same.
Im 72 and otherwise healthy and strong but I've been tetering between recoveries and relapsing and fighting discouragement. Looking forward to learning and practicing new things. Thank you!
You can do this, Pamela!! We have a whole group of people in their 70s and 80s here. One woman who commented fully recovered at 86.
@@TheSteadyCoach Somewhat of a relief to see that boomers can also heal from this. I'm a 73 year old personal trainer who had covid. The timing of my symptoms has me convinced that my symptoms are from long covid (LC), yet I now realize I was very stressed the fall & winter prior. Am still waiting for a diagnosis (Dr. appt. next month with well known dizzy doc in Chicago). I'm expecting they won't find anything abnormal as there isn't a specific test for LC . Do you have any support groups of people that have recovered...especially boomers? I think us mature ones have the additional concern that we won't have enough time left to make a full recovery while our bodies are also declining from age and it's hard for us to exercise. Oh, one more thing - I had L eye cataract replaced last year. Didn't do the other eye. Sometimes I think my lopsided vision might be exacerbating it. Thanks Dr. Yo and to the lovely Whitney for this articulate interview.
Ahhh I have been feeling this way since last year in august .., almost a year … I have gotten a better but it’s still there. I have definitely noticed that when i am stressed out it gets to me more.
Sounds like you're on the right track!
Wow! Another great interview. Thank you for the hope. Loved this. And the comment about "rushing", cracked me up. I am always rushing. Lol. Gotta slow down. 3.5 months into my dizziness.
I have found you very early. After 4 weeks of symptoms and after I got told I have to wait a week for appointment with the doctor. I have a child (1 y 4m) and felt like a failure even questioned myself why I did want to have kids. Because I have had anxiety attacks before. I guess I have one thing tho the need to make it better for my child.
I have noticed the anxiety came after having symptoms of dizziness and nauseous this time. And it really hit me I really do notice everything that changes while normally I don’t. I want to do perfect for my child and with adhd it’s kinda exhausting. And the part of the generation stuff is so true. I don’t really blame my parents. But they really feel they are being blamed because I want to do things differently. So adds more stress. I really hope my adhd brain can stick to this course❤️
So grateful for this you and this channel! Finally self diagnosed myself with PPPD after 18 months. Looking forward to learning here and healing 🙏
This was profound for me! I’ve been in that dark place and I still cry daily (mostly because I have a lot of feelings to get out). I’ve started feeling better the past few weeks I’ve starting working on myself. I’m starting vision therapy soon to assist with my vision, I’m nervous but excited to get to 100%! You’ve inspired me Whitney!!
You can do this!!
Keep going!! You can do this!
If I could hug you, I would. Thank you so much for sharing your healing journey, Whitney. I’m starting to feel like there’s hope.
@@WhitneyC-ke7ocHi Whitney...is there any way i could contact you? I just ...i have a few doubts about my vision and i just cant believe some stuff i feel is due to anxiety/ pppd anxiety stuff. You are the only one in all video's who describes a few examples you went through, so well..i wish i could just send you 1 email or something🙏🙏🙏
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc how did you overcome your fear of the spinning dizziness happening again?
I love this video! Very helpful! I have 3PD , positional vertigo, and anxiety and I was wondering. Does anyone here have issues eating at restaurants! I have noticed that when I go out to eat, which is rare as of late, I am really anxious from the noise, lights, and dizziness. How do you handle being in a setting like that without being so anxious?
Im just so thankful that this didn't happen to me when I was raising a family and working. It would hsve been devastating.. My heart goes out to these young people..😢
Amen.
Amazing video!!!! I’m happy she spoke about the fatigue that can come along with this…
The fatigue is very difficult. Your brain is working really hard to recalibrate for you the things that don’t make sense.
It’s ok to
Take breaks and rest too! Keep getting out there and living your life- you can get better!
This is so crazy this is me 10000% I wonder why I feel so exhausted at the end of the day and it’s because my brain has been working so hard all day dealing with dizziness that it’s so drained 😢
I love these success stories. I need more and more.
If there are ppl hesitating to be interviewed because they need to show their faces on youtube (I would tbh), I don't mind if it's only audio!!
Thank you both so much. I’m so thankful to Whitney for sharing her healing journal. There’s hope! Dr. Yo, what you do matters. I love and appreciate your content. Thank you!
Thank you for saying this, Angelia!
You are describing meee!! Thank you for the hope of getting better!!
I loved this interview. Thank you! This is my story. I am in my late 30’ with a small child, embarking on something new in my career. I am slowly healing.
So, thank you for being so vulnerable Whitney. You boosted my hope. And thank you Dr. Yo. What you do is life saving.
❤❤❤
This is one of the BEST videos I have ever watched. Both of you ladies are incredible. I finally have HOPE I can get better! I've been suffering for about 20 years with many different things, but am hopeful to take the steps to get better.
Thank you Whitney and Dr. Yo!
This is my favorite recovery story yet. I feel like I’m so close to recovery and these stories help so much.
Wonderful, Katelyn!
I can relate to this story. I’ve been struggling for over 2 years. The visual symptoms are my worst symptom. Thank you for your videos I’m trying my hardest to accept that I’m ok. 😢
You are not alone. You can get better. ❤️
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much for your kind words they mean so much coming from you an expert in all of this. X
This story is so real . So touching😢 l m in tears life is so hard.
Thank you so much Whitney and Dr. Arthur. This is my story to the T. I also struggle so much with the anxiety of not being able to take care of everything and for everyone. I now come to understand that I connect my worthiness with my ability to function. Thank you for your insight.
You're welcome, Jacqueline. It is something so many of us struggle with ❤
This is so me. I have been dealing with this since 2016. Symptoms have really ramp up during times of transitions. Newly retired and things have been horrible again. This makes so much sense. I just thinking I had anxiety. I am looking forward to go through this course.
Great video. With the mention of 'rushing' towards the end, that also strikes a chord. I highly recommend the book Rushing Woman's Syndrome by Dr. Libby Weaver and it fits the same personality type, type A, high strung and reading it felt like she was writing about me. I am thankful to have found all of the videos you put out and have started the free course. Managing my stress response which has been ingrained in me since childhood issues, will be key. I love watching these success stories! I've been feeling these symptoms for about 4 years now but feel I've found the missing link I've been searching for. ❤
I immediately bought this book after reading your comment and I've been yelling YES at every chapter so far.
@@TheSteadyCoach Aww, so awesome. Glad I could share something for you to discover!
Profound and insightful. So thankful for this channel.
Wanted to come here and say Whitney's story helped me so much! Realizing there's nothing clinically wrong with me and it's a sign to slow down has me rethinking how I talk to my symptoms. I'm more of a believer than ever that it's how our brains think/react to things that causes these symptoms.
I am so glad that you found Whitney's story ❤
I’m also in Houston, having a hard time finding a vestibular therapy clinic… please share🙏🏼
I have been dealing with this for over 1 years, all testing has been normal. These stories give me hope.
Thank you very much for sharing your story. I see myself in you 100%. ❤❤❤
Relate to so much of this. It gives me great hope. Appreciate Whitney’s sharing her story and Dr. Yo for conducting these inspirational and connective recovery stories.
She was so articulate in explaining her process. So glad you enjoyed it, Scott!
What a great interview. I relate a lot to her symptoms. Totally different life, but many of the same symptoms.
Thank you, Janice! I am so glad this resonated with you!
I definitely think I have this , 4 years ago I had a panic attack and it started from there , I suffered for 2 years but then I seemed to get better as I stopped thinking about it and getting my life back but for the past 5 weeks all my symptoms have come back and now I’m back to square one again 😢
I'm sorry you are going through this, Charlotte, but there is hope! You can do this! You may be interested in this recent video as well th-cam.com/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fpy7OPY5ss5VGfVW
I had dental work done. I was fine for 3 days. I was given palexia and celocoxib. Which maybe contributed to this. I just want to lay down all the time too. I first had vestibular neuritis in 2004. I have been 95% better for years and now this again. I’m a nurse with 2 kids and a house with a mortgage I need to be better!!
Thank you so much for this interview!
You're very welcome, Craig!
Found this video in your Free course. Hearing all this brings so much emotions. Glad I found your channel. I always come back when the symptoms increase. Guess we have this cause we fought with our feelings now the only way to fight this is to feel our feelings.
Thank you for giving us hope!!!!!
You're welcome, Terri!
Dear Dr. Yo,
Thank you so much for this program. Your beautiful blue eyes and face are essence of concern, compassion, and understanding. I feel empowered by your knowledge and very grateful that you have selflessly provided this content. Many blessings to you. F
What an inspiring story! I am so thankful I found your channel. I have been dealing with these exact symptoms since contracting covid in November of 2022, months after starting a graduate program. Symptoms began to improve after 6 months, but am currently attending a research conference and am feeling a major setback. I could hardly get through my presentation. I’m guessing this is due to the constant busy environment that I have been mostly shielded from at home. I’m trying to stay hopeful and recognize the positive progress. I could hardly walk across the house a couple months ago and am now attending a conference out of town. Small wins!
You can do this!
I can identify with this lady. About a year ago I came down with similar symptoms. I was diagnosed with vertigo, balance issues anxiety etc. I am still experiencing these feelings. I am glad I found your channel. I want to work on myself as I listen to your videos.
I am glad this success story resonated with you, Margaret!
59:35 - Thanks to Whitney and Dr. Yo! This was really helpful!
Hola ,Dr.yo. ayer descubrí su curso y realmente este tipo de testimonios ayudan demasiado a seguir en este camino tan difícil, me da esperanza a mejorar. A mi me dan este tipo mareos crónicos en ciertas temporadas y también tengo en mente que se va pasar y volveré a estar al 100% . Tengo 17 años y desde los 5 años de edad es que experimenté vértigo por episodios, fue cuando entre a la adolescencia donde mi situación empeoró y se volvió algo crónico, pero sí, muchas cosas de las que dice Whitney son ciertas, y con el pasar de los años he podido masomenos identificar algunas cosas que me ayudan a tener una mejor calidad de vida, realmente su curso me ayudará a consolidar mucho este aprendizaje acerca de mi mareo. Enserio, muchas gracias de corazón y saludos desde Perú,lima ❤🙏
Dr Yo , thank you , I have had chronic dizziness for years which started out with lightheadedness and now full blown dizziness , you have given me hope , I found you by looking for a support group and BOOM ! you came to the rescue
You're very welcome, Denise! There is hope!
What a beautiful testimony. ❤
Such a good interview Whitney. Thank you so much for these Dr Yo. Can I ask what sort of mental therapist did you have i.e. did they specialise in anxiety. I'm in the UK and don't know where to start.
Initially when I was told I had only anxiety, I began working with a therapist who specialized in EMDR therapy because I was unable to drive due to the panic attacks.
I believe any type of emotional work you can do with or without a therapist is wonderful! Learning how to feel safe in your body and rewatching Dr Yo’s videos helped me tremendously
Thank you
You have no idea how much you helped me
❤❤❤
So SSRI was the most important thing that helped her🥰😍
Thanks for the interview and the hope you both shared 😮
I've watched this twice now since Dr Yo posted in the membership community, thank you so much Whitney for sharing your story of hope. If you see this comment Whitney, I just wondered how long it took you to notice changes in the visual vertigo once you realised it was a brain prediction error, and was it gradual to start with? I have very similar symptoms to you, and the last month have managed to be much more accepting but find it hard to notice any physical change still..
Great question. I started feeling positive changes in the fall- so a couple months after finding the channel. It’s really hard to learn to “ ignore “ them but you have to have a mantra for yourself when you notice them. I’d say to myself “ ok brain- we have to feel it to heal it” and it would pass. At times things can still pop up and feel odd but we forget that our eyes are always adjusting to these things ( brightness, standing up too fast/ turning your head fast, watching a movie during a big scene). We are just now noticing so much and are hyper aware. I promise it does go away and becomes less frequent but don’t look for it. That kept my symptoms so much longer!
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc thank you so much for spending the time to reply! That's so helpful to hear. I love the phrase 'we have to feel it to heal it'. Your story does give so much hope :)
Bravo to this strong woman and well articulated story. This could be my story. I can relate to all of this - with different symptoms but as a mother of two kids. I relate to feeling like I might die and that life will move on without me because I can’t do all that I could. Having a hard time playing smiling laughing with them, swimming with them taking them to games etc… list goes on. It’s a hopeless feeling. Feeling unworthy and unloved. This hit home. Kids are very perceptive and they can feel my pain. This is so hard. Watching videos like this does help a bit to shift my thinking, but feel I need more help.

@@TheSteadyCoach thank you Dr. Yo for replying. I have looked into your course and I have been sort of waiting to do it because my diagnosis have me all confused and a little mixed up. After a small fall (didn’t hit my head) I started getting dizziness and dissociation feelings and I’ve been told I have a concussion. 6months later I am worse and something keeps telling me it’s not right. I’m told most people 70% heal within 6 weeks to 3months. So then I started thinking why is this continuing for me?But that’s my personality- skeptic, keep searching , be diligent keep going, I’m scared to do anything because they told me not to. I continue to watch your videos because you are so knowledgeable and comforting to listen to. Something keeps bringing me back here. Something keeps telling me there’s a mindbody element at play- but I can’t be sure. I want to dive into the strategies to try but I’m scared. I do believe I will be a success story one day now to really allow my subconscious to believe it too. Even without knowing if this all applies to me I want to say thanks. You are like a lifeline at times and I cry with hope listening to your encouragement. I’ve viewed other channels but yours is special .
Whitney, you are so strong. Your determination and conviction come through so strong for me and really resonate. I’ve listened to this video so many times because the way you explain your thought processes and beliefs that got you through this process bring me so much comfort because I see your personality so much in the me before this dizziness got a hold of me .I know I’m going to get back to that person one day it’s just so difficult to see right now. Thank you for sharing your story
Another excellent interview! Thanks so much 🩵
You're welcome, Rachel!
Really powerful interview and so insightful. Thank you!
Congratulations and what an amazing and inspirational recovery story! So much of it deeply resonated with me, especially the parenting challenges. I have had very similar feelings about disappointing my children while I've been recovering. I hope I can one day share a recovery story too.
You will, Mike!
There’s no better parent for your children than YOU! I know it’s hard to feel that way when you’re feeling terrible but you will get through this !
@@WhitneyC-ke7octhank you so much for sharing your story! Gives me hope. And thank you for your kind words. ❤
Congrats 🎉
What a wonderful testimony. Very inspiring. Appreciated the comment about rushing. Fits me to a tee! I’m working on your free course now. I too found you early after the dizziness started, but I’ve had migraines for over 20 years. So I wonder if that will impact my recovery from dizziness? Do both symptoms heal at the same time?
Recovery is different for everyone, but the techniques to help with your dizziness may help with your migraines as well.
Wonderful interview. So many relatable moments throughout this and it’s always helpful to hear people’s real life, real world experiences.
I have so many more coming, Paula… and maybe one day, your story ❤️
Love these stories! They give me hope for recovery one day. I’ve had pppd for 7 months now and I do believe I am on track for getting better. I still have 24/7 baseline dizziness I’d say like a 2 or 3 out of 10 level. I noticed these last 3 months that I’m no longer triggered by anything even grocery stores and that my dizziness has just remained the exact same at baseline. Oh and I still have light sensitivity. But I’ve felt stuck now like is my baseline dizziness ever going away I haven’t seen improvement in these last 3 months. I’m curious on your thoughts Dr. Yo
Hi Tyler! This is a common question that comes up. I discuss this more in detail in this video th-cam.com/video/z9kbWswkkwM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Whitney.
I think thats my story same symptoms with same condition thanks alot dr for making this kind of videos during my healing journey because of you i am going to start feeling good again 😊
Yes! I can't wait to hear your success story too Faisal!
Amazing interview thanks both! I can relate to so much of this and in times of still feeling symptoms I also say to myself I’m ok! I’ve been here so many times and I’m ok!
Also that SO many people in general as you said Dr Yo, experience dizziness or symptoms for no apparent reason and spontaneously get better and I know that I personally forgot that I’d ever experienced dizziness before when it f course I had!
Thank you 😊
Hi Gill! 🤗🤗
Another inspirational recovery story! ❤
Thank u so much! his answered a lot of my questions…
Fantastic!
❤Whitney what exercises did you do for your vision part and fantastic on your recovery I love your road of how you recovered
I’ve been struggling with these feelings since January and I feel like it’s never going to get better!
So many people before you have gotten better which means SO CAN YOU! I know it’s really difficult to believe that when you’re feeling your worst.
Yes, as Whitney said, there is hope!
Hey whitney, great video. I have 100% all the same symptoms, exact the same. Can you please write what did you do exactly that it getting better? You said a few things that helped, but it would be great to hear aaalll the stuff. I have this symptoms for 4 years and everyday is really bad and nobody can help me.. I would appreciate it so much.

I can relate so much to Whitney! I just turned 40, mom to three youngsters, im going to 1 year of PPPD. Dr. Arthur, how can I get on your waitlist for coaching? I’ve taken your free on line course thus far and watched your videos.
Currently, I am only seeing clients out of my VIP coaching group. I still have a waitlist, but you can learn more about the VIP coaching group here: thesteadycoach.com/services#group-coaching
I wonder if there’s a correlation with foods, i.e. coffee, or an x-ray in the past just thinking of some kind of radiation poisoning. I’ve also looked into the Havana syndrome. It’s a bit conspiratorial, but very strange that it only happens to certain people. I’m in the middle of this right now and it does feel awful. I’m keeping positive trying to work through it. I’m actually back at work. I don’t have vertigo but I do have dizziness and derealization, and my vision is hazy.
Hi Whitney. Your story speaks for me. I have BPPV and after my first attack in 2023 I got PPPD. I'm terrified of the fact that my attacks are too frequent and this intensifies my symptoms. Sometimes I can't tell if it's actually BPPV or PPPD because I don't always have nystagmus. Do you still have BPPV attacks or have you been calm since then.? For me, they appear in every situation, when I sit, lie down, when I walk and because of that the stress deepens.
The floaters yes. Wow
When did the visual snow go iv got all these symptoms but the snow is so frustrating I try to just watch it without judgement every time but it just keeps coming
I have the same symptoms and everything that she did about testing ohh my god how can i start so all thatt
Best to start with a medical exam to make sure there is nothing medically wrong. If your doctor clears you, then please take the course. It is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
i also wanted to share and ask like i feel i can't hear anyone in the day to day life talk about feeling dizzy because it makes me uncomfortable like if i am outside with a friend and all of a sudden they say something like oh i just felt a bit dizzy it makes me uncomfortable and fearful even though for them the dizzy feeling was just a few second thing that their brain did not make anything out of but for me just the word makes me feel off and even watching shows where they mention the words or like falling or any other words associated with dizziness i feel like i cant watch the show anymore like i feel the words have become like a trigger for me and make me uncomfortable, how can i deal with this dr.yo please help
It’s good that you’re noticing this Mindy. I’d recommend using the technique I talk about in this video when you hear words that make you anxious: th-cam.com/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Yo,
I’m really struggling with being able to sit in a chair without having the feeling as if I’m going to fall or pass out. Any suggestions that could help me overcome this?
th-cam.com/video/DZTz12G96-E/w-d-xo.html try this!
So interesting, I developed dry eye literally overnight with the eye issues along with many other similar symptoms. I'd be interested to know why the dry eye becomes part of this.
Do You also have the static snowy vision?
everyone's body has a natural sway to it and its normal to move a bit from side to side but why is it that the smallest millimiter movement sway makes me feel so extreme and scared? is there a way to overcome the sway?
Please see my previous response about focusing on specific symptoms!
Love to know hows Whitney doing now
Is tension in neck muscles a symptom of this? feeling like my neck is smuching in one place. And feeling like my head will fall?
Hi dr Yonit I am watching videos everyday , my balance is improved but spinning sensation is still sticking around from so long what do you recommend?
Have you taken the course? It’s free and goes into more depth than the videos. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Please help me ,like Whitne I stated with very bad vertigo 3 weeks ago iv been taking stencil and dextramexrazone but the spinning has stopped but the light heaviness and feeling of floating is still here every day I havnt been able to function or look after my children I can not walk with out feeling like I’m floating my son is crying thinking I’m very poorly I need help to get my life back
Please make sure you see your doctor to ensure there is nothing medically wrong but also take the free course, it will walk you through this step by step. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Mam plz reply can this disorder affects vision because i have severe eye strain.it also developed eye floters in my both eyes
My other symptoms are somehow managable but this symptom make my life hell .i am so much sad and sucidal about my life plz help me regarding this
Yes! Hotel hallways! I’m not crazy!!
I have that too!
Same.
Grocery store too.
Whitney describes it all perfectly.
I’m not nuts 😂
Hi Dr Yo! Did whitney see you one on one or did she take the free course? :)
Nope, just the free course and she worked with her therapist!
Thank you for this interview! I’m taking a trip after 2 years when all of this began.. But when I walk outside at nighttime with the artificial bright lights is so difficult.. I went to a restaurant and I was so foggy tired and disconnected.. is it normal? I sometimes wonder if those symptoms seem more neurological than vestibular.. I take it as my nervous system being hyper vigilant but even if lately I’m doing better and I’m less scared this symptoms doesn’t seem to improve..
Same with me! lights & walking at night is tough, I belive it's a common symptom. I think Dr.Yo explains this in Julie's recovery story...!!
@@mal-nx6xs thank you, because it’s a very tough one! What I hate the most about it is that it completely wipes me out and I feel disconnected, if it was just the discomfort of the lights I’d put sunglasses on!
You’d benefit from watching this one! Exposure is not the only thing that is important to calm the nervous system. th-cam.com/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/w-d-xo.html
Hey Dr. Yo! I have been following along and using your techniques the last 6 months or so. I was feeling really good for awhile, and then seeming to have "flare ups" on some days. I know that you have mentioned that this is normal, but I can't help but think that it's something tissue related (cause I am anxious about it obviously - doesn't help that I am already a hypochrondriac). Is it really normal to have days/weeks/months of no symptoms, and then have them hit you like a truck all at one time? Any advice or insight would be realllly appreciated!! Feeling discouraged after some days/weeks of relief :(
Hi Kristin, yes this is normal. I discuss this more in this video th-cam.com/video/v6f-gFy2VxA/w-d-xo.html
Great interview Whitney! Did you also the severe fatigue and severe light sensitivity? So bad that you struggled being outside? Thank you
YES. I had to wear sunglasses all the time to even begin to be able to walk outside with my children. All part of it! It gets better- hang in there!
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc thank you! Did the lights make you feel like disconnected and foggy? Because that’s the worst feeling for me, more than the light sensitivity itself
It did make me feel that way also. It doesn’t anymore so I hope that helps you believe it will get better for you too!!
@@WhitneyC-ke7oc are you still in recovery/healed? I always wonder if success stories remained successes

Hi Dr Yo, I have a question when it comes to anxiety. Whitney said her symptoms were still present when she wasn't anxious on ssris. I have been dizzy since early May this year (all tests done, nothing wrong medically) and i have discovered that when i take alprazolam, my dizziness goes away. I know alprazolam is not an ssri, but I don't understand how can it take the dizziness away? Is it a good or a bad idea to take it during chronic dizziness recovery? I feel like I need to have it with me, in case my symptoms give me a panic attack, which has happened multiple times before. I don't know if I'm hindering my own recovery with alprazolam. Should I stop taking it even if it helps with the dizziness?
Alprazolam is anti anxiety and also turns the vestibular system down. While I can't advise you directly, in general it's not good to take it often because there is some indication that it can prevent your vestibular system from adapting. Taking it occasionally if needed is usually fine.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much for your reply, Dr Yo! I'm gonna try and manage without it ❤️ Signed up to your free course today. Thank you for everything you do!
did whitney do gaze stabilization exercises for the visual vertigo? or did it just go away once she began to understand what is going on?
This was a part of the balance therapy I did for that 8-12 weeks. I’ve done some crazy things in PT ( wearing a laser on my head and having to trace letters on a backdrop with very slow movements while my eyes adjusted ) to name one. Bilateral stimulation etc.
Long term I’m not sure that I can credit healing to this. In the moment it helped, but since I didn’t have tissue damage (say if I had been in a car accident), I wasn’t healing from something like that. I know Dr Yo talks a lot about brain prediction error and while I know it feels like there must be more too it- there wasn’t for me. It truly was something overtime I could’ve recovered from once I stopped chasing more and more treatments and more and more doctors. This was a very hard part of it bc it kept feeling like there had to be more I could do to heal.
You can heal from this!!!
Dear Doctor A, I am sorry to bother you but have to ask Is it that I am dizzy because my brain can't keep up with the information coming in and the balance part of the brain is sensitive due to PTSD / stress, OR are all these sensations normal and natural things happening in my body that I should not be able to feel see or detective but it the hypersensitive nervous system its hyper-aware due to trauma. You know I have healed myself of Gastroparesis chronic constipation, and POTs a bit better fibro and more but this dizziness 24/7 and worse while going to sleep and IN sleep is the symptom that is causing me hell in my life. Thanks, doctor been a bad week had a fever of 103 with the flu it has pushed me to this point of despair. I do love you and am very grateful and thought by now I would be teaching too but it didn't turn out that way, Ava
Hi Ava, I go into more detail about the why in this video th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AN7ignAkDI_DJQot
What’s the program she’s talking about? 🙏🏼

i get this sensation that i havent heard many mention before where when im standing and i get this feeling of being on an elevator and the elevator stops to open to the floor but theres a litttle jump right when the elevator stops and i get that sensation but havent heard anyone else mention it, is there any way to fix that or look at it and understand what is going on Dr. Yo because that is really scary for me and i dont even want to go on elevators because im afraid that sensation will linger on. do you know why this happens or any advice please?
Hi Mindy, yes others have described this sensation. My best advice is not to focus on specific sensations and trying to fix each one, but trying to figure out why your brain is sensitive in the first place.
@@TheSteadyCoach i think its sensative because of the lingering sensation of movement that remains even after but i dont know what to do with knowing that
Hi! Wanted to tell you, my processing problem with my eyes is getting a bit better finally. However, there is a thing i wanted to ask still.
My eyes are checked and totally fine.
But, still,when i look at my phone, its hard to type normal a text. Like every word i typ at least 1 letter wrong.
When i write on a paper, it is hard, like not seeing sharp and the movement of my hand feels not synchrone. I can not really focus well on thing that are close to me...but my eyes should be fine! According to the eye doctor. Do you understand why my eyes feel like this? Not good focussing close & also far away. And the writing stuff?🙏
Hi Arianne, this is great! Keep going!
When symptoms come I tell my self m njoying it
I welcomed my symptoms
Does it’s good approach kindly reply please
This is great!
What does it do nearal circuit
Please!!!! could anyone help me with this; i feel like i just cant really focus on anything when i am walking outside. Things that move or when i move is really making me so scared. It is getting worse every day now and i am.starting to loose hope. When i walk i cant look at trees, leaves, grass, people that are 10 meters away that move, when i am outside walking, i just feel so off! I can see, but its just like i cant focuss clearly when moving..please anyone who read this and knows what i am talking about.. please tell me if i am weird or not. My eyes are healthy they are checked. .i do have slow processing with eyeskills! Apparently my brain does not process stuff normal since pppd.
This is a common symptom, Arianne.
Hi Dr Yo, is spinning dizziness a part of pppd? I was told spinning episodes are not a part of pppd?
Only by definition (pppd is a list of symptoms and they don’t include vertigo, but that is the way they defined it). Vertigo often has a physical cause but not always. Neural circuit dizziness sometimes includes vertigo.
