Chronically tight muscles and fascia that won’t release! It’s causing issues with my digestion and we all know what happens then..EVERYTHING IS AFFECTED! I’m so happy to have found your channel.
I have burning sensations in my entire body and extreme nerve pain all over which disables me if I don’t take gabapentin and Nortriptyline everyday. The docs say it’s stress related looking at my reports all clear. I don’t know how to get out of my situation anymore. Very depressed with regards to my health but always hopeful to find a cure. Please suggest if you know of a plan I could follow to recover. I may be having central sensitisation.
@@SukieBaxter stiff neck and upper traps for a long time what helps? How do you help clients I don't sleep well body jumps when trying hard to relax I cry all the time especially at night
I was experiencing tinnitus for a number of months..I found that if I was engaged in my art work or another deeply focusing activity it disappeared. It would come back to me at bed time and the morning upon waking. But I told myself I could manage it because I knew i had an ability to get into flow and not be noticing it. Eventually it disappeared completely...or I have learned to not notice it..Not sure which is going on. So fascinating.
This video almost bought me to tears! Everything that you mentioned was literally spot on for me. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I finally feel like someone understands and can provide exactly what I need to heal from a lifetime of stressful experiences.
Im sad you aren't making videos anymore but Im so grateful these videos are here for everyone to revisit. The way you explain everything is so comprehensive! I send your links to so many people in my life when in need -so you only continue to help people! It looks like you have moved on to only teaching and Im so so excited for you following what fits your goals and needs although so sad I missed a time you had a clinic open to clients. Thank you for all you've done. I hope your horses are well. ❤️
Your content demonstrates a high level of commitment to education and understanding, and your presentations are thorough and clear. Thank you for your dedication to helping others to heal.
Thank you so much for this amazing information! I have 4 squashed discs in my neck but the stress from some situations trigger pain and migraines not just me lifting heavy things. I know I need to regulate my stress. This is amazing you are a gift thank you!
I really appreciate your verbal accuracy! You thread the needle conceptually and that seems to be the missing precision in medicine in thought, perception and presentation.
My BIGGEST struggle with my body is that it needs things all of the time and I don't know how to meet those needs. I am easily overwhelmed when general all over tightness sends the shooting signals. But, that is not always true in that sometimes I do know how to meet my body's needs but recognize that something inside resists the love, the compassion. This has gone on for near 20 years now. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot. I feel this is part of my journey and I am learning and accepting. Thank you!
Dear Sukie, Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have binged through quite many of them during last weeks. You have a great ability to explain things in such an easy and fun way. I have been burnout twice during last 9 years and depressed and broke my leg, etc. And during these years I have been searching for ways to get better, to understand what is happening in my mind and body. The doctors and psychologists I have been to could help just some. But they did not look at the body level nore the reason to my state. I am feeling so much better now thanks to my own research and work on myself. And what you teach here is resonating so much to what I have learned. I think many more people would benefit from your knowledge. Thank you so much for teaching this and inspiring us and helping us heal. With love, Diana 💖
I found your info this morning. My continued stress is causing health issues and I was looking for assistance to release it without taking standard medication. Your videos are helpful, thank you!
In 2020 I was under severe stress, depression and anxiety. It ruined my nervous system. Since then I battle with back pain chest pain and electric pulses throughout my whole body. I noticed when am at peace I feel good, but when anxiety kicks in I feel like crap. I went to the doctors and they told me I’m fine. 😓😓😓 Does anyone feel like this too??
Yes. I got to know what my body was up to, what pain was real and what pain was from stress. I can think away pain from stress. I have done energy work and I found myself closing my eyes and imagining figure eights over the area. Or running figure eights with my finger hovering over the area. That might sound weird but because I really connected with the energy work, it works for me.
In 1 video you just answered so many questions I had about my perceptions and body sensations. Like the connection between the cerebelum and conscious thoughts explain why when I had social anxiety I would get tension around my eyes as soon as I became self conscious. The same was true when I would twink my eyes consciously I would get into an anxious state. Or sometimes when I'm anxious I get strange physical sensations and it feels like I get aware of my own subconscious body processes like feeling the connexion between my hands and brain when playing the piano and feeling kind of on autopilot. Very strange feeling indeed but it makes so much sense now.So I wanted to say thank you
@Spooky Action at a Distance - this was a revelation to me too. The first time that I recall feeling so aware of my physical body that I found it difficult to walk and keep my balance, was after a series of emotional and physical traumas in my life. We moved, my dad left us, I went to a new school, I had really bad flu, and also was sexually abused. I remember trying to walk into the school assembly and feeling that my head wasn't properly balanced on my body and that my steps weren't in time/synchronized properly. I still have dreams where I try to walk or run but my steps won't come with any rhythm and get mixed up. I suffer from chronic pain and anxiety that prevents me from working. I will definitely be looking into these theories with the hope of regaining some fitness and getting my life back.
Thank you for your videos,they are extremely helpful especially in understanding chronic stress and pain in body and how to clear the neural pathways.🙏🙏🙏
I am learning so much from you, I had surgery for torn Bicep and Rotary cuff from a fall at wrk. Am out on wrkers comp and going to PT. But the inner anxiety and stress put me in the immobile state. Thank you for this info. Also your beautiful cat is the most mellow cat I have ever seen.

Without, im extremely uncomfortable and uncertain about the future both short term and long term. Great video! You did amazing.

Thanks Sukie. My yogi name is Sukh. Really struggling these days. Getting old( 62). Feeling like I'm in fight flight all the time. Much pain, confusion, anxiety, heart palpitations (racing over 200 beats a minute) sleep deprived on and on. Doctors think I'm nuts. I know better. They want to treat symptoms, not knowing the cause. Oh , also inflammation, eczema.... I was able to manage all this when younger but not so much now. I used to joke that my ego decision making was askew, no acually dysfunctional at best. It made me homeless twice last year, and is responsible for quitting many jobs. Almost lost my job by quitting last week. Short story, my boss caught on and and is trying to get me a permanent position which will give me benefits. Still in fight flight and would run if I could could(I'm not a fighter) Doc Berry said . No difference between anxiety and excitement, it's all about how one frames it. Thanks for you Sukie.
This is empowering, but also annoying because I’ve been focusing heavily on overcoming chronic pain/tight muscles and anxiety disorders for 13 years and I’m exhausted. I’ve dedicated my entire 20’s to my health. Lost 100lbs, went vegan, journaled all my emotions, got a therapist, started walking/jogging/stretching daily, and nothing helped. Then I discovered Dr. John Sarno’s work on chronic pain and started doing even more mind/body work. I’m still in pain. Still chronically tense. Still anxious.
I totally hear you. I have met and worked with a lot of people who are doing all the right things but feeling frustrated. To be totally honest, I'm not a huge fan of Sarno's work. I think he was stepping in the right direction, but a lot of his writing comes off -- at least to me -- as a bypass as well as dismissive of some very real, very limiting symptoms experienced by a person. It has been a while since I read the book, but if I remember correctly, I felt that it was heavy on the mind-over-matter aspect. I find this a lot in mindfulness or mind-body connection practices. It's a subtle difference to talk to the brain through sensory awareness, but a powerful shift. I hope you're able to do a few of the somatic practices and meditations here and get some relief.
@@SukieBaxter sarno wasn’t just a mind over matter guy imo .. he had two points. Some was simply book cures (mind over matter if you will, but really education leading to safety) but he was also very much about the inner fight between what we want vs what others want. That’s what I took away as the core emotional issues. But that’s only one type of chronic pain trigger imo. I don’t agree with everything he wrote by any stretch btw, but for me he was on the right path with some of it. Chronic pain comes in different ways though for me. I had episodes which were emotionally triggered and releasing emotions I wasn’t allowing solved the pain. I also had much longer term pain which was helped by somatic methods. Others were just about health anxiety and solved by a more “butler” style DIM and SIM approach, which I guess is what you might mean as mind over matter? Allodynia was solved by bravery leading to retraining of my nervous system pain responses. I literally distracted. But that’s before I knew some other stuff. I’ve had it all and resolved nearly everything with a combination of approaches. We are definitely learning .. but there is more to learn yet. My stomach issues (IBS) still aren’t fully resolved though. That continues to trouble me. But I’ll carry on working!
We almost hav the same situation mam.. infact me i think 14yrs suffering until now still fell the same after all those medication that i hav tried..🙁.. buts i still never lost hope..hoping one day il get well ,
I take chamomile extract supplement, they are much stronger than the tea AND they work- I've never had any side effects and no problems if I suddenly run out. There are alot of different brands, Ive found them on Amazon, Walmart. They helped after my heart ablation procedure, I was sooo scared and my dog was diagnosed with heartworms a week ago and if I take the chamomile I can stop crying and plan for her treatment. Good luck, I personally know how hard it is to deal with these misery's.🤗
Thank you for your videos! My biggest struggle with stress in my body is that my legs throb for hours after I sit in a meeting (or movie, or church). For decades this has been going on. I must be tensing somewhere but I don't know where or how to release whatever is tensing.
Read the book called 📕 THE way out. It might help you. It’s initially an effort but well those muscles and nerves don’t build connections in one day. Years of stress
Every since covid I have suffered from anxiety, chest tightness,pain in my hands dizziness,muscle twitches, even bald spots in my hair what do u recommend, there’s lots of times I felt fear of dying. Need help bad! I tried some of your exercises for the vagal nerve it helped tremendously but still suffering from other symptoms. I also get stuck overthinking things not being able to concentrate.
I think I have problems with my nerves and I been twitching badly I been stressing due to school and family issues I’m 17 please help I’m scared I might die due to it
@@YT-bz8dr do some meditation and it helped me a lot , also try to do things slowly and concentrate while ur doing things slow it helps gain control of your emotions. Exercise when ever possible that helps also to gain control of everything you are feeling, just remember this process takes time I hope this helps
Commenting on My dad's account- Hi I'm Nicole, I am suffering from OCD induced Thanataphobia :( I am constantly stressed, feel unsafe. I have chronic pain in my upper neck, lower spine, behind my eyes. It's so awful. I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I can't remember how it felt to feel safe. I don't know what to do.
Stress! I have Thoracic outlet syndrome, which is interesting because it causes pain by compression and for me it gets triggered by breathing badly when I'm stressed. So it's not something that "heals". I think a lot of pain is caused by clenching
I've got stress with my partner as she suffers with mental health and then it triggers my hiatus hernia off then I can't sleep but I've noticed it makes my body feel drained and aches because the stress but then ile be ok after a phew days of I'm lucky as I'm usely active pls suffer from insomnia with the stress madness as its hard find videos to cope with stress love this video gralest job 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍
Not sure about that . From what I remember TMS is based on the theory that the brain deliberately creates pain and other physiological symptoms through restricting blood flow to tissue in order to distract from emotional and psychological pain. Sukie seems to be saying that the mind is genuinely perceiving the environment as unsafe and therfore the body is stuck in the sympathetic 'Fight or flight' state causing hyper sensitivity.
I think this is what I have on my scalping forehead, part of my scalp tingles, burns and sometimes it’s like a crawling sensation. And my forehead feels numb. In the beginning I only came when I stressed and was scared of losing my hair from it. Than I felt it on a small spot on my hairline then throw the years it has become worse and worse and has spread. Now it’s every day all day and I even woke up from burning before when I was depressed and it felt like my brain was hurting to. Then I started to deep breath and trying to think positive and it sometimes disappear directly when I wake up. But I need help pls.
Thanks for this video I have a strange case relating to this or so I think. I’ve had lower back problems for over 20 years, so much stress relating to this. I’ll cut my story right down but about 3 years ago, I suddenly couldn’t tolerate different footwear… anything different to what I have got used to causes me extreme discomfort in my lower back … literally just standing up in unaccustomed footwear will do this ,it’s really stressful. Hadn’t given this any thought until my physio mentioned it might be psychosomatic… I was shocked but now I’m starting to think it might be. The pain and discomfort to me is 100% real. Any videos I could watch to help me with this? Would really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction… thanks Scans and tests have come back fine.
One of the most disturbing feeling I had is to feel pain in part of my tongue like if I had multiple glass crystals in it. It lasted for several days. There is no other explanation than anxiety in my case.
We were nine women in a group for women who had survived abuse in a close relationship. It was interesting that everyone had severe pain in the left shoulder. There must be a correlation.
I have anxiety ..i been with pain in my legs , my hands , my back , with bad acid reflux ..i get so scared feeling pain all the time that i think a have something else going on with me
Hi I get paid on the right side of my body I got blood test done at doctor and liver and kidney was satisfactory can anxiety cause pain on just one side as I have quite bad anxiety I'm taking sertraline now
Unfortunately doctors usually don’t learn this type of approach. You can try to find someone who has done training in this field but it takes some searching.
You did not talk about the brain causing actual pain by constant bracing muscle tension. Also there is a mechanism called TMS as explained by Sarno in his book Healing back pain. It looks like it's not only a question of amplification. Many times I had total nonsense pain at places where there is no reason.
hello mam, I have depression anxiety problem, I have one sided groin , leg, toe nerve pain , and my neurologist gave me painkillers and other medicines, but no medicine works , only good long sleep and antidepressants tablet which help me to sleep vanishes all body pain, is the pain because of anxiety , my symptoms matches slipped disk problem ...
For almost 6 months now i have right body pain 95% on right side and like 5% on left like its a different person/body feels like nerve pain i guess.... Mostly my right arm but literly all right side (right neck side , right back side , right knee) i can lift 10kg on my lwft arm and barely 5on right i hurt all day . Doctor said thank god i dont have an autoimmune but i got like this cause of chronic stress that made me have bad sleep quality and got my body in a more sensitive to pain signal mode and i mist fix my sleep now that its early still .PLEASE someone yell me this is not for ever and some damage that cant be reversed, and that when i fix my stress / anexiety and start sleeping better it will fade away m PLZ :( did anyone else have chronic pain from anexiety that eventually went away when stress was controlled ? Im having a rly hard time hanging on and i just am so afraid this will spread
I have similar pain for the past 2 1/2 years. Been to every Chiro, masseuse, pt with no long term results resolving this. Had a panic attack 16 days ago and went to my doctor and she said my symptoms are not coming from my body as that has been ruled out. It's coming from my head. So she prescribed Lexapro. It apparently takes 4 to 6 weeks to work. No one ever suggested it could be a chemical imbalance in my brain. A type of anxiety/stress disorder. I'm not feeling good yet but I'm hanging in there.
@@nrp5791 hand in there . And plz keep me updated . I rly hope u will feel better . Im in pain still too , afraid to get medicine but i prob might . Keep me updated ill be so happy to hear ur pain gets better

Really struggling these days. Getting old( 62).
Feeling like I'm in fight flight all the time.
Much pain, confusion, anxiety, heart palpitations (racing over 200 beats a minute) sleep deprived on and on.
Doctors think I'm nuts.
I know better.
They want to treat symptoms, not knowing the cause.
Oh , also inflammation, eczema....
I was able to manage all this when younger but not so much now.

I’ve had it all and resolved nearly everything with a combination of approaches.
We are definitely learning .. but there is more to learn yet.
My stomach issues (IBS) still aren’t fully resolved though. That continues to trouble me. But I’ll carry on working!
We almost hav the same situation mam.. infact me i think 14yrs suffering until now still fell the same after all those medication that i hav tried..🙁.. buts i still never lost hope..hoping one day il get well ,
I take chamomile extract supplement, they are much stronger than the tea AND they work- I've never had any side effects and no problems if I suddenly run out. There are alot of different brands, Ive found them on Amazon, Walmart. They helped after my heart ablation procedure, I was sooo scared and my dog was diagnosed with heartworms a week ago and if I take the chamomile I can stop crying and plan for her treatment. Good luck, I personally know how hard it is to deal with these misery's.🤗
Thank you for your videos! My biggest struggle with stress in my body is that my legs throb for hours after I sit in a meeting (or movie, or church). For decades this has been going on. I must be tensing somewhere but I don't know where or how to release whatever is tensing.
Read the book called 📕 THE way out. It might help you. It’s initially an effort but well those muscles and nerves don’t build connections in one day. Years of stress
I'm the very same but I also get burning feet then by night with my legs throbbing its horrible
Every since covid I have suffered from anxiety, chest tightness,pain in my hands dizziness,muscle twitches, even bald spots in my hair what do u recommend, there’s lots of times I felt fear of dying. Need help bad! I tried some of your exercises for the vagal nerve it helped tremendously but still suffering from other symptoms. I also get stuck overthinking things not being able to concentrate.
Do you tic ??
I think I have problems with my nerves and I been twitching badly I been stressing due to school and family issues I’m 17 please help I’m scared I might die due to it
@@YT-bz8dr no I dont
@@YT-bz8dr do some meditation and it helped me a lot , also try to do things slowly and concentrate while ur doing things slow it helps gain control of your emotions. Exercise when ever possible that helps also to gain control of everything you are feeling, just remember this process takes time I hope this helps
@@eljames8539how are you feeling bro update?

this cat is hilarious. Thank you for explaining all of this in such a good way!!
Kitty!! ❤️😻. Thank you for this resource. Incredible communication
Commenting on My dad's account- Hi I'm Nicole, I am suffering from OCD induced Thanataphobia :( I am constantly stressed, feel unsafe. I have chronic pain in my upper neck, lower spine, behind my eyes. It's so awful. I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I can't remember how it felt to feel safe. I don't know what to do.
Stress! I have Thoracic outlet syndrome, which is interesting because it causes pain by compression and for me it gets triggered by breathing badly when I'm stressed. So it's not something that "heals". I think a lot of pain is caused by clenching
Thank you so much for your clarity explaining this complex information .🌸🙏
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.

I Just Subscribed ! This Is By Far The Best Video, Anxiety And Stress Reactions ! Thank You So Much ! 🙂😺
Sounds a to me like TMS Mind Body Syndrome to me although Sukie never mentions that disorder or Dr John E Sarno.
Not sure about that . From what I remember TMS is based on the theory that the brain deliberately creates pain and other physiological symptoms through restricting blood flow to tissue in order to distract from emotional and psychological pain. Sukie seems to be saying that the mind is genuinely perceiving the environment as unsafe and therfore the body is stuck in the sympathetic 'Fight or flight' state causing hyper sensitivity.
You are describing me to a T. I have stress stored in my solar plexus that I'm having a hard time releasing and it gives me brain fog
Tell me how to get rid of these types of pain which is triggered just by anxiety a pain in chest feels like stretching
Constant shoulder muscle pain can't break the cycle also have you hear much heal pain from anxiety
I’m with you
Of course, you need to ask?
YES Stree
I dont joy in anything. I have been stuck in this loop for the last 5 years. I don't know what to do and feel like I'll always be this way
i read EMOTICONS cause physical pain and I was WTF 😂
Thank you sooo much ❤️💙💚

My mother has epilepsy. How can I help her? She’s on medication to control seizures. 3 episodes so far.
I think this is what I have on my scalping forehead, part of my scalp tingles, burns and sometimes it’s like a crawling sensation. And my forehead feels numb. In the beginning I only came when I stressed and was scared of losing my hair from it. Than I felt it on a small spot on my hairline then throw the years it has become worse and worse and has spread. Now it’s every day all day and I even woke up from burning before when I was depressed and it felt like my brain was hurting to. Then I started to deep breath and trying to think positive and it sometimes disappear directly when I wake up. But I need help pls.
Thanks
Thanks for this video
I have a strange case relating to this or so I think.
I’ve had lower back problems for over 20 years, so much stress relating to this. I’ll cut my story right down but about 3 years ago, I suddenly couldn’t tolerate different footwear… anything different to what I have got used to causes me extreme discomfort in my lower back … literally just standing up in unaccustomed footwear will do this ,it’s really stressful.
Hadn’t given this any thought until my physio mentioned it might be psychosomatic… I was shocked but now I’m starting to think it might be. The pain and discomfort to me is 100% real. Any videos I could watch to help me with this? Would really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction… thanks
Scans and tests have come back fine.
❤ very well said
One of the most disturbing feeling I had is to feel pain in part of my tongue like if I had multiple glass crystals in it. It lasted for several days. There is no other explanation than anxiety in my case.
We were nine women in a group for women who had survived abuse in a close relationship. It was interesting that everyone had severe pain in the left shoulder. There must be a correlation.
I have anxiety ..i been with pain in my legs , my hands , my back , with bad acid reflux ..i get so scared feeling pain all the time that i think a have something else going on with me
Me to how are you now f.e.a.r causes it
Same
Hi I get paid on the right side of my body I got blood test done at doctor and liver and kidney was satisfactory can anxiety cause pain on just one side as I have quite bad anxiety I'm taking sertraline now
Yes anywhere
Thx for sharing
What kind of doctor can I see to get treatment for this ?
Unfortunately doctors usually don’t learn this type of approach. You can try to find someone who has done training in this field but it takes some searching.
Stress .. i get it. Whoa didnt see it that way b4
Does this apply to or do you have any advice/videos on menstrual period pain. I mean crazy pain where one faints and vomits from the pain.
Great question
What a beautiful cat
Sukie, how can I get in touch with you?
Can constant worry and anxiety prolong healing of.the body? Like healing?
Thank you 💗
You did not talk about the brain causing actual pain by constant bracing muscle tension. Also there is a mechanism called TMS as explained by Sarno in his book Healing back pain. It looks like it's not only a question of amplification. Many times I had total nonsense pain at places where there is no reason.
Idk I just sat in a massage chair to relieve tension and oh man am I sore. I literally feel the tension in my neck head and shoulders. It's awful.
hello mam, I have depression anxiety problem, I have one sided groin , leg, toe nerve pain , and my neurologist gave me painkillers and other medicines, but no medicine works , only good long sleep and antidepressants tablet which help me to sleep vanishes all body pain, is the pain because of anxiety , my symptoms matches slipped disk problem ...
I experience headache, shoulder pain
Depression chest pain
For almost 6 months now i have right body pain 95% on right side and like 5% on left like its a different person/body feels like nerve pain i guess.... Mostly my right arm but literly all right side (right neck side , right back side , right knee) i can lift 10kg on my lwft arm and barely 5on right i hurt all day . Doctor said thank god i dont have an autoimmune but i got like this cause of chronic stress that made me have bad sleep quality and got my body in a more sensitive to pain signal mode and i mist fix my sleep now that its early still .PLEASE someone yell me this is not for ever and some damage that cant be reversed, and that when i fix my stress / anexiety and start sleeping better it will fade away m PLZ :( did anyone else have chronic pain from anexiety that eventually went away when stress was controlled ? Im having a rly hard time hanging on and i just am so afraid this will spread
I have right side pain too. It goes away when I’m distracted from it. This tells me that it is stress
@@kingsfan10000000 i ogt pain all over me :( it does get alot better when i am distracted. I hope to god it goes away :( i cant live like this
I have similar pain for the past 2 1/2 years. Been to every Chiro, masseuse, pt with no long term results resolving this. Had a panic attack 16 days ago and went to my doctor and she said my symptoms are not coming from my body as that has been ruled out. It's coming from my head. So she prescribed Lexapro. It apparently takes 4 to 6 weeks to work. No one ever suggested it could be a chemical imbalance in my brain. A type of anxiety/stress disorder. I'm not feeling good yet but I'm hanging in there.
@@nrp5791 hand in there . And plz keep me updated . I rly hope u will feel better . Im in pain still too , afraid to get medicine but i prob might . Keep me updated ill be so happy to hear ur pain gets better
