It is a balance. Doing enough of what’s required continually as you say but not overdoing this work either. and Some days I get it right and others I don’t. Today is very hot here in the UK. Both my body and brain have decided to take the day off. Unusual for me but it’s been bliss. I’ve just flopped and listened to a non taxing audio book, had a bbq, meditated. I had a strenuous yoga session booked but didn’t show up. Later when it cools down I’ll go for a stroll. The right call today.

Please help me out
I believe in this completely and KNOW that the discomforts I have are because of perceived danger by the brain. I would appreciate practical suggestions of what to focus on to redirect the brain's attention. I am retired from teaching and have completely healed medically from injuries from falling on the ice, creating frozen shoulde, and a later broken wrist from a freak fall. Using Curable and your daily videos, I have tamped down a lot of PDP that hung around. I'm very active, doing lots of strenuous work (using my chainsaw, etc.) and walking 5+ miles a day. I want to keep doing those things painfree. Thanks for any helpful advice!
Thanks again Dan! I do tend to get frustrated by my lack of progress at times, but I know I am in less pain than when I started this process😊 so that helps me to keep going. Question--i am still using a heating pad on my back daily, mostly out of habit, but also because I like how it feels on my low back when it hurts. Is this bad for my progress?
The best way to answer this is to evaluate what message the brain is receiving. Is it receiving a message that your physical body is perfectly fine already? Or that heat is required because there's a problem with the muscles? Sarno said to stop all physical treatments as they can confuse the brain. I tend to agree with him.
Thanks for the video Dan. Very inspiring and yes it gives me a way forward, but I think it is going to be difficult changing a mindset of two years duration. Dan, how long and how much effort did you put into this rewiring before you saw results appearing? Thanks for all your devotion to helping others like me who know the principal bit still struggling to put it into practice because of gear and frustration. Best wishes.
No - it won't be difficult to shift. DECIDE what you want and want to believe. FOCUS on that consistently. Put in the effort. You may be surprised how fast your brain learns something new. The video maps it out. This process isn't just for eliminating pain. It's for ANYTHING you want to learn in life. To your question, I didn't intentionally use this specific technique to end my pain. But in hindsight - when I DECIDED my body was okay and that I was going to FOCUS on living my life without fear or caring if I had symptoms or not, this happened all on it's own. Why? Because that's how the brain works. It wires what we consistently focus upon. Try it. You may be VERY pleasantly surprised.
I've been in chronic pain 25 years. I am 4 months in and making progress. It's not about the time you've been in pain, it's the effort and practice you make to leave it. Take care.
Very much in alignment with the Law of Attraction. Finding small powerful evidence of that in my own life as I practice this daily. Great reminder that the slow, daily journey can be the most powerful, rather than the "book cure" that I find myself wishing for from time to time. Thanks, Dan.
Guess what happens when you look for something ? Often you find it !. Just like all the negative crap that seems to run on auto pilot , after I have been doing this work for some months I have experienced it also begins to run on auto pilot , It does become easy. And what's more is its brought back feelings and memories of more youthful years, when I did feel my emotions, before I learned to suppress them . So it all feels quite natural and liberating . If this makes any sense ?
Thanks for your comment Chris. Yes, things getting easier is the "effortless" thing I was talking about in the video. But it requires deciding what you want, focusing upon that and putting in the effort before it becomes effortless - or autopilot as you mentioned.
@@PC-zz9cy No video about caregivers specifically, but these two should cover the topic anyway. th-cam.com/video/pjYqnewiTVE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/twNl7iv4K0Y/w-d-xo.html
dan, the other day I had to go to Tijuana to score more pain meds since I had a problem with pain management people here in Cali. Anyway, there was a point when I was sitting in my car in a parking lot waiting for my cousin, who I tagged along with, to come out of a dental appointment. I was starting to feel anxious so I started breathing, and then I went into a monologue, imitating what you do here sorta, talking about my feelings etc, and breathing and just talking about my life to an empty passenger seat. It was interesting and it did help me feel better. I think the passenger seat was empty but my brain was listening!
I needed to hear this.. I just read the mind body prescription and ordered healing back pain both by Sarno, But I love the way you explained this. It is one thing that I didn't really understand even after reading his 1st book. So I have subscribed to your youtube channel, and just sent in a request to join your facebook group.Thx!!
Excellent video. Feeling the emotions must become a habit, I see that. However, I'm afraid that so far, in the 30 years I've had bladder pain and in the 8 months I've been following all this TMS stuff, I'm not able to ignore my bladder pain. I can't enjoy anything when it's there. Believe me I've tried.
I don't tell anyone to "ignore" the pain. Choose your response. You can freak out about it or reassure yourself that it's not a problem. It takes practice to become indifferent to it and shift your focus away from it.
I no you are making a living. That's okay but. Its interesting stuff trying to help people is a good thing to do. Thanks again 🙏😎from Lancashire England UK pendle witches country. 🧙♀️
I have recently found Dr Sarno's book, Nicole Sachs and subsequently you. You are all a wealth of knowledge and for the first time ever I have hope. I know now TMS is exactly what I have and the fear is not gone, but i am learning to accept the pain, and hoping by doing the work I will get there in time. My question- life is chaotic, and I am not exactly able to do the physical activities I'd like currently. If a lot of my free time from work is spent journaling, and reading this info and watching TH-cam videos ,am I doing a disservice to my brain? For example, the piano analogy - i am not rewiring my brain to learn something new. I am, but it is still related to the pain. So as long as I am doing this from a positive place, and a place of learning, is that at all helping to rewire my brain, or is my brain saying " she's still stuck on this pain issue, lets not rewire the brain yet" I hope this makes sense, and likely a dumb question, but I really really wont to learn more about all of this to help myself. Between the books and you tube videos there is so much for me to take in Dont get me wrong, I am not spending every waking moment focusing on TMS info, however with work just not enough hours in day to start new hobbies Thank you for all of your useful information. I cant wait to report back down the road and check in !
Angie - it's a great question actually. We can actually overdo the recovery process. Once you understand what TMS is and that it applies to you, we don't have to read more and more. Focusing on the pain and TMS may keep it persistent. Get clear. And try not to focus on brain wiring. In my opinion, that's over-complicating it. The brain knows what to do. Give it better information consistently, focus on what you WANT and the brain will do the rest. The resources below maps it all out. Foundational Information: Understanding Pain Watch the video at: PainFreeYou.com Watch the video about Perceived Danger Pain: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html - this explains SO much of what is going on. Next Level: Determining if your pain is from TMS/PDP: Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain. This also means you CAN end your symptoms. Do the FIT assessment below. If you answer yes to even one of the criteria, it is very likely your brain creating the pain based on perceived danger. FUNCTIONAL: -Symptoms began without a physical precipitation -Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo) -Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric -Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso -Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body -Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm -Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time -Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold INCONSISTENT: -Symptom shift from one location in the body to another -Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night -Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise -Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about it -Symptoms occur when stresses increased or one thinks about stressful situations -Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation -Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement TRIGGERED: -symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptom, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather -symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctors visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities -symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing -symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold Moving forward: Free general recommendations.

A really great video Dan, thank you. It’s super useful when you give us a bite size strategy to focus on I know this is all I need to do but keep getting better then dipping so my determination must need attention as I can’t currently sustain the better wave.... when you re focus constantly do you think it’s helpful to have one particular thing you re focus on? Sounds weird but I find if I can’t think of something quickly my brain gets the better of me thinking about the symptoms once they have become v conscious to me. Big thank you for all your help everyday. E
Eleanor - you don't have to do this all day long. Just be aware of when your attention shifts to the symptoms and with intention, direct your attention away. That's the point of the video. With intentional focus on what you want + consistent effort, it will get easier and easier over time.
I have Epstein Barr, CFS, I’m injoying your video I’m trying to tell my brain I’m not fatigued I’m not tired but it doesn’t always work. I’m in bed sick for like Monday to the next but I’m gonna try to wake up not focus on the fatigue. We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have chronic fatigue syndrome are told not to push yourself because if you do, then, you’re gonna make yourself worse.
When the brain is unafraid, it simply uses new pathways. We don't have to fix the old roads, we just build a bypass. Here's my take on this concept. th-cam.com/video/FpmWqTA83eI/w-d-xo.html
do you know about functional neurological disorder? I don't have pain but can't walk unless my brain is distracted. do you know about this. can you do a video please???
Is it truly a functional neurological disorder - or problem with the nerves if things work properly when distracted? Weakness is a common TMS/PDP symptom. Have you done the assessments on my getting started page? www.PainFreeYou.com/start Go through the videos and assessments on that page to see if any of it resonates with you. If so, I offer a number of suggested paths forward. I generally don't do symptom specific videos anymore as they keep people focused on symptoms. If they behave like TMS/PDP then the type of symptom doesn't matter. The solution is the same.
Dan I just love your videos , unfortunately here I am again "crashing" wondering if u think dnrs is helpful or can I just meditate and do positive self care etc..
It's important to have a deep understanding of how the brain, pain and nervous system works. Once you do that, you'll see why the things I suggest work with how the system works. I can't speak about DNRS. I've heard both good and bad things about it. I can say, that my course and weekly group coaching is having good success and it's a fraction of the price of DNRS. Check it out for my approach. PainFreeYou.com/join
Yes, focus on life as much as possible. If you DO notice the pain (you will), how you respond to it is way more important than the fact you were aware of the pain. Todays video on Gaining Trust goes deeper into this concept: th-cam.com/video/F2cBTFSQqtk/w-d-xo.html
Can someone please send me somewhere free or cheap for a “rewiring the brain” program? I’m unable to work right now due to my chronic conditions and all these programs cost money. I need structure as I have ADHD and can flit from one video to another and get nowhere fast. I started this journey in the first lockdown. 2020. I’m now here 2 years later unable to get a grip on the whole thing. I can’t concentrate on books. I just can’t focus on reading books. Thank you. I love your videos Dan. I just can’t afford your program. ☹️
The process does not have to be super complicated. Try not to create artificial barriers for your recovery. Money should not stop you. Many people get well implementing concepts taught and repeated in my daily videos. Here's a few videos below that sum up my concepts. Perceived Danger Pain: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html Let's Simplify Recovery: th-cam.com/video/3tIucivptic/w-d-xo.html Consistent Messages of Safety: th-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/w-d-xo.html 6 Steps to resuming activity: th-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/w-d-xo.html Focus on these basics. Repetition. Over and over. The brain knows how to rewire itself. Forget about that. Focus on what you want. Focus on KNOWING that there's nothing to fix. Focus on the FACT that you are safe. Copy and paste this into a document or email and save it. These few videos can literally be enough.
Simply put, the brain takes care of itself when we stop believing the bullshit negative thoughts and shift our attention to what we want. This video is more recent: th-cam.com/video/g6nrEeGyTjA/w-d-xo.html
When I first started doing mind-body work,I found it so hard to think positive thoughts and memories,but I made a real effort,and now they are coming more naturally. I was shocked at first as to how negative my thinking had become,especially when thinking about the past for some reason.
Yes. A great place to learn what is going on and what to do about it is my fast start playlist. Watch. Take notes. Implement. Repeat. DansFastStart.com
Would you consider stress an emotion? Stress causes my symptoms. So when I ask myself what I am feeling at this moment it most always is stress. Is repetitive stress emotions common in releasing pain?
I am trying to let fear go because I am 100% convinced I have MBS but I am not gonna lie fear and anxiety play a major role. When I check in with myself and I feel fear or anxiety do I just let it sit with me without judging it until it passes or do I need to tell myself why I am feeling the fear and anxiety?
@@mikeschiffmann3708 It's okay to feel it, but don't dwell in it or ruminate on why you are feeling the fear or anxiety. th-cam.com/video/58yzMcYyGjU/w-d-xo.html
Do you think doing this can help people who are withdrawing from benzos to overcome the debilitating fight or flight anxiety that accompanies withdrawal?
This could be used to train your brain of virtually anything. Soothe yourself. And I might suggest that you not catastrophize the Benzo withdrawal. Yes, there will be some affects, but you will be able to handle them. The more you fear the withdrawal process, the more fear you will have. The more fear, the more you feel anxious. It's a vicious cycle. Step out of that loop. Know you will be fine. Soothe yourself often. Body and mind.
Decide what you want, Focus on what you want, Put in the effort, Become effortless, Stay determined, Reinforce new neural pathways!

Really helpful. Piano excellent analogy. Reassuring. I’ve been giving up prematurely.
You can do it!
An oldie but goodie ❤
Love this thankyou . Ive started knitting and i reading alot of books and loving nature 😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you I like your Easy Going, Thank You, Explain Everything, Thank You, So Very Much I Will Try figurado One How I Can my Wayne
You are so welcome!
I believe in this completely and KNOW that the discomforts I have are because of perceived danger by the brain. I would appreciate practical suggestions of what to focus on to redirect the brain's attention. I am retired from teaching and have completely healed medically from injuries from falling on the ice, creating frozen shoulde, and a later broken wrist from a freak fall. Using Curable and your daily videos, I have tamped down a lot of PDP that hung around. I'm very active, doing lots of strenuous work (using my chainsaw, etc.) and walking 5+ miles a day. I want to keep doing those things painfree. Thanks for any helpful advice!
focus on living life. Make that the priority. Live more, fix less. There's nothing to fix.
Oh damn this is a great video! Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!
Fantastic video! Your channel is like a gold mine of information and help for mind body pain. Thank You.
Great to hear!
Thanks again Dan! I do tend to get frustrated by my lack of progress at times, but I know I am in less pain than when I started this process😊 so that helps me to keep going. Question--i am still using a heating pad on my back daily, mostly out of habit, but also because I like how it feels on my low back when it hurts. Is this bad for my progress?
The best way to answer this is to evaluate what message the brain is receiving. Is it receiving a message that your physical body is perfectly fine already? Or that heat is required because there's a problem with the muscles? Sarno said to stop all physical treatments as they can confuse the brain. I tend to agree with him.
@@PainFreeYou thank you once more. I will need to let this comfort go it seems if I want to heal all the way.
Good reminders
I really needed this particular reminder today.
Thanks Dan.
Happy to help!
Yes thank you
You are welcome.
Look forward to follow it ..🙏🙏
Thanks for the video Dan. Very inspiring and yes it gives me a way forward, but I think it is going to be difficult changing a mindset of two years duration. Dan, how long and how much effort did you put into this rewiring before you saw results appearing? Thanks for all your devotion to helping others like me who know the principal bit still struggling to put it into practice because of gear and frustration.
Best wishes.
It will take however long it takes. Be kind and patient with the little fred inside you. Everyones path is different.
No - it won't be difficult to shift. DECIDE what you want and want to believe. FOCUS on that consistently. Put in the effort. You may be surprised how fast your brain learns something new. The video maps it out. This process isn't just for eliminating pain. It's for ANYTHING you want to learn in life.
To your question, I didn't intentionally use this specific technique to end my pain. But in hindsight - when I DECIDED my body was okay and that I was going to FOCUS on living my life without fear or caring if I had symptoms or not, this happened all on it's own. Why? Because that's how the brain works. It wires what we consistently focus upon. Try it. You may be VERY pleasantly surprised.
I've been in chronic pain 25 years. I am 4 months in and making progress. It's not about the time you've been in pain, it's the effort and practice you make to leave it. Take care.
Yes makes perfect sense!! I want more of this!!
Thanks!
Very much in alignment with the Law of Attraction. Finding small powerful evidence of that in my own life as I practice this daily. Great reminder that the slow, daily journey can be the most powerful, rather than the "book cure" that I find myself wishing for from time to time. Thanks, Dan.
Glad this helped remind you of the gradual progress approach.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Excellent!
Guess what happens when you look for something ? Often you find it !.
Just like all the negative crap that seems to run on auto pilot , after I have been doing this work for some months I have experienced it also begins to run on auto pilot , It does become easy. And what's more is its brought back feelings and memories of more youthful years, when I did feel my emotions, before I learned to suppress them . So it all feels quite natural and liberating . If this makes any sense ?
Thanks for your comment Chris. Yes, things getting easier is the "effortless" thing I was talking about in the video. But it requires deciding what you want, focusing upon that and putting in the effort before it becomes effortless - or autopilot as you mentioned.
That's my son. Negative from more till night and his anxiety. He is in such a loop. Nothing I say helps
There is a solution if he chooses to look for it. My daily videos may help. The concepts go well beyond just pain or symptoms.

dan, the other day I had to go to Tijuana to score more pain meds since I had a problem with pain management people here in Cali. Anyway, there was a point when I was sitting in my car in a parking lot waiting for my cousin, who I tagged along with, to come out of a dental appointment. I was starting to feel anxious so I started breathing, and then I went into a monologue, imitating what you do here sorta, talking about my feelings etc, and breathing and just talking about my life to an empty passenger seat. It was interesting and it did help me feel better. I think the passenger seat was empty but my brain was listening!
It's amazing how a little bit of calm and reassuring thinking can help.
I needed to hear this.. I just read the mind body prescription and ordered healing back pain both by Sarno, But I love the way you explained this. It is one thing that I didn't really understand even after reading his 1st book. So I have subscribed to your youtube channel, and just sent in a request to join your facebook group.Thx!!
Awesome Mark.
This is one of your best! Great lesson
Yes 💯 helpful 🥰
Practice Practice Practice!
Yes, absolutely.
I like this one.
Thank you!
Excellent video. Feeling the emotions must become a habit, I see that. However, I'm afraid that so far, in the 30 years I've had bladder pain and in the 8 months I've been following all this TMS stuff, I'm not able to ignore my bladder pain. I can't enjoy anything when it's there. Believe me I've tried.
I don't tell anyone to "ignore" the pain. Choose your response. You can freak out about it or reassure yourself that it's not a problem. It takes practice to become indifferent to it and shift your focus away from it.
How r u?
Somatic tracking has helped me..
I no you are making a living. That's okay but. Its interesting stuff trying to help people is a good thing to do. Thanks again 🙏😎from Lancashire England UK pendle witches country. 🧙♀️
I have recently found Dr Sarno's book, Nicole Sachs and subsequently you. You are all a wealth of knowledge and for the first time ever I have hope. I know now TMS is exactly what I have and the fear is not gone, but i am learning to accept the pain, and hoping by doing the work I will get there in time. My question- life is chaotic, and I am not exactly able to do the physical activities I'd like currently. If a lot of my free time from work is spent journaling, and reading this info and watching TH-cam videos ,am I doing a disservice to my brain? For example, the piano analogy - i am not rewiring my brain to learn something new. I am, but it is still related to the pain. So as long as I am doing this from a positive place, and a place of learning, is that at all helping to rewire my brain, or is my brain saying " she's still stuck on this pain issue, lets not rewire the brain yet"
I hope this makes sense, and likely a dumb question, but I really really wont to learn more about all of this to help myself. Between the books and you tube videos there is so much for me to take in Dont get me wrong, I am not spending every waking moment focusing on TMS info, however with work just not enough hours in day to start new hobbies Thank you for all of your useful information. I cant wait to report back down the road and check in !
Angie - it's a great question actually. We can actually overdo the recovery process. Once you understand what TMS is and that it applies to you, we don't have to read more and more. Focusing on the pain and TMS may keep it persistent. Get clear. And try not to focus on brain wiring. In my opinion, that's over-complicating it. The brain knows what to do. Give it better information consistently, focus on what you WANT and the brain will do the rest. The resources below maps it all out.
Foundational Information: Understanding Pain
Watch the video at: PainFreeYou.com
Watch the video about Perceived Danger Pain: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html - this explains SO much of what is going on.
Next Level: Determining if your pain is from TMS/PDP:
Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain. This also means you CAN end your symptoms.
Do the FIT assessment below. If you answer yes to even one of the criteria, it is very likely your brain creating the pain based on perceived danger.
FUNCTIONAL:
-Symptoms began without a physical precipitation
-Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo)
-Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric
-Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso
-Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body
-Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm
-Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time
-Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold
INCONSISTENT:
-Symptom shift from one location in the body to another
-Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night
-Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise
-Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about it
-Symptoms occur when stresses increased or one thinks about stressful situations
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement
TRIGGERED:
-symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptom, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather
-symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctors visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities
-symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing
-symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold

@@PainFreeYou Thank you so much for your reply I really appreciate your thorough response I am going to check all of this information out !
A really great video Dan, thank you. It’s super useful when you give us a bite size strategy to focus on I know this is all I need to do but keep getting better then dipping so my determination must need attention as I can’t currently sustain the better wave.... when you re focus constantly do you think it’s helpful to have one particular thing you re focus on? Sounds weird but I find if I can’t think of something quickly my brain gets the better of me thinking about the symptoms once they have become v conscious to me. Big thank you for all your help everyday. E
Eleanor - you don't have to do this all day long. Just be aware of when your attention shifts to the symptoms and with intention, direct your attention away. That's the point of the video. With intentional focus on what you want + consistent effort, it will get easier and easier over time.
Very good 😊
Thanks 😊
Thank you! What us TMS? New to your channel! ✅😀
What you focus on, multiply’s…
Decide what i want ?
Yes, what do you want your brain to learn/wire?
I have Epstein Barr, CFS, I’m injoying your video I’m trying to tell my brain I’m not fatigued I’m not tired but it doesn’t always work. I’m in bed sick for like Monday to the next but I’m gonna try to wake up not focus on the fatigue. We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have chronic fatigue syndrome are told not to push yourself because if you do, then, you’re gonna make yourself worse.
Totally helpful :)
Glad you think so!
Nailed it. Brain needs to be re calibrated
I bassicaly got tired of being sick and ended it, i thats not a decision then ehat it is.
Yes, we need to make a decision that enough is enough.
Do this mean the old negative pathways never realy been rewrite by new positive ones, and if once we stop practicing them the old ones surface again?
When the brain is unafraid, it simply uses new pathways. We don't have to fix the old roads, we just build a bypass. Here's my take on this concept.
th-cam.com/video/FpmWqTA83eI/w-d-xo.html
do you know about functional neurological disorder? I don't have pain but can't walk unless my brain is distracted. do you know about this. can you do a video please???
Is it truly a functional neurological disorder - or problem with the nerves if things work properly when distracted? Weakness is a common TMS/PDP symptom. Have you done the assessments on my getting started page? www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Go through the videos and assessments on that page to see if any of it resonates with you. If so, I offer a number of suggested paths forward. I generally don't do symptom specific videos anymore as they keep people focused on symptoms. If they behave like TMS/PDP then the type of symptom doesn't matter. The solution is the same.
Dan I just love your videos , unfortunately here I am again "crashing" wondering if u think dnrs is helpful or can I just meditate and do positive self care etc..
It's important to have a deep understanding of how the brain, pain and nervous system works. Once you do that, you'll see why the things I suggest work with how the system works. I can't speak about DNRS. I've heard both good and bad things about it. I can say, that my course and weekly group coaching is having good success and it's a fraction of the price of DNRS. Check it out for my approach. PainFreeYou.com/join
Life saver
How do we take the focus off pain and symptoms? Can you give examples ? Do you mean focus on other things ?
Yes, focus on life as much as possible. If you DO notice the pain (you will), how you respond to it is way more important than the fact you were aware of the pain. Todays video on Gaining Trust goes deeper into this concept: th-cam.com/video/F2cBTFSQqtk/w-d-xo.html
Can someone please send me somewhere free or cheap for a “rewiring the brain” program? I’m unable to work right now due to my chronic conditions and all these programs cost money. I need structure as I have ADHD and can flit from one video to another and get nowhere fast. I started this journey in the first lockdown. 2020. I’m now here 2 years later unable to get a grip on the whole thing. I can’t concentrate on books. I just can’t focus on reading books. Thank you. I love your videos Dan. I just can’t afford your program. ☹️
The process does not have to be super complicated. Try not to create artificial barriers for your recovery. Money should not stop you. Many people get well implementing concepts taught and repeated in my daily videos. Here's a few videos below that sum up my concepts.
Perceived Danger Pain: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html
Let's Simplify Recovery: th-cam.com/video/3tIucivptic/w-d-xo.html
Consistent Messages of Safety: th-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/w-d-xo.html
6 Steps to resuming activity: th-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/w-d-xo.html
Focus on these basics. Repetition. Over and over. The brain knows how to rewire itself. Forget about that. Focus on what you want. Focus on KNOWING that there's nothing to fix. Focus on the FACT that you are safe. Copy and paste this into a document or email and save it. These few videos can literally be enough.
Should we be focused on this positive mindset all day long ? Is this not mentally exhausting and in the trying to fix it category ?.
Simply put, the brain takes care of itself when we stop believing the bullshit negative thoughts and shift our attention to what we want. This video is more recent: th-cam.com/video/g6nrEeGyTjA/w-d-xo.html
@@PainFreeYou My bullshit delete button has worn out. Need to get on ebay and order another one . 🤣
Sounds good but the pain won't let me do anything even hold a cup of coffee or open the door, all most disabled
When I first started doing mind-body work,I found it so hard to think positive thoughts and memories,but I made a real effort,and now they are coming more naturally. I was shocked at first as to how negative my thinking had become,especially when thinking about the past for some reason.
Yeah, we sometimes get into thought patters without realizing. Awareness and a decision to shift is all it takes.
@@PainFreeYou thanks. I also didn't realise how much these thoughts were influencing my health and how important they were.

Would you consider stress an emotion? Stress causes my symptoms. So when I ask myself what I am feeling at this moment it most always is stress. Is repetitive stress emotions common in releasing pain?
What's under the stress? Fear? Anger? Despair? Anxiety? Stress is not really an emotion.
I am trying to let fear go because I am 100% convinced I have MBS but I am not gonna lie fear and anxiety play a major role. When I check in with myself and I feel fear or anxiety do I just let it sit with me without judging it until it passes or do I need to tell myself why I am feeling the fear and anxiety?
@@mikeschiffmann3708 It's okay to feel it, but don't dwell in it or ruminate on why you are feeling the fear or anxiety. th-cam.com/video/58yzMcYyGjU/w-d-xo.html
I would say yes. Stress, anxiety, and fear are all related. Which can cause its own unique kind of pain.
even at 79? I hope so
Do you think doing this can help people who are withdrawing from benzos to overcome the debilitating fight or flight anxiety that accompanies withdrawal?
This could be used to train your brain of virtually anything. Soothe yourself. And I might suggest that you not catastrophize the Benzo withdrawal. Yes, there will be some affects, but you will be able to handle them. The more you fear the withdrawal process, the more fear you will have. The more fear, the more you feel anxious. It's a vicious cycle. Step out of that loop. Know you will be fine. Soothe yourself often. Body and mind.
