@@davidless57Because you don’t feel so alone. Believe it or not, it was the loneliness that I experienced as I was going from doctor to doctor that hurt the most. I didn’t want to be a burden to my family and friends and honestly they were getting tired of hearing me complain about pain all the time, so I stayed quiet and suffered in silence. Crazy times!
I recently posted about a 37 yrs of pain success story. I teach how to recover daily. Are you watching my daily videos? Have you seen my fast start playlist? DansTH-cam.com DansFastStart.com Have you considered my group program to get direct help? PainFreeYouGroup.com
THIS IS AMAZING!!! My lord! Instead of running and crying from the pain in my bowels, I will let them be there and I'll feel them not run and try and make it go away
I come here almost every day to remind myself that I can do this. I'm in the phase where I'll be positive and pain will be low, then if the pain starts to come back I can feel myself slipping into despair and I've been getting better about allowing the pain to happen and not freaking out. It's incredible to hear these stories and thank you for posting them.
I've watched this video at least 5 times. I wish you guys would have some more chats. Us people who are told we are "chronically ill" and it's forever get so much from this! I can't get enough of this one. Thanks again Dan. You and Rebecca make a great healing team. So much hope! Im fking crying here.
I'm touched by your comment too! I second what Dan says. Don't believe anyone who says you are chronically ill or beyond repair. They simply don't know how to help you. I suspect our talk is resonating because a part of you knows that you're not broken, that you are okay and that you can absolutely feel well again!
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach thanks Rebecca, yes I’ve learnt so much from you:) I’m having more good days than bad days, I remember in one of youre videos you said, I was so done of trying to fix it, I surrendered to it, not that I was giving up but I just decided to live my life, I feel like that approach is what helps me most
Marvelous !…..I ‘ve been watching podcast for couple months and this was melt and connect w my soul so deeply…very grateful. Dan, when you talk about your dad..I had an awakening because that was exactly how I felt with my dad all my life and I am now 64…. Mahalo as we say here in Hawaii.
Love Rebecca and this Success Story! I am sorry you went thru your trauma but I needed to hear that this could be why my brain started this pain! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!❤
I’ve been following medical medium and the diet change is helping but I have had lots of freak outs from being housebound for 8 weeks. I am learning to not analyse my symptoms anymore and say oh well when they come up. Thank you both
Thank you'These awesome stories are part of my healing process right now🙏 Slowly & surely i can do this. Many difficult moments indeed. I will not give up. Plenty to be grateful for💚
I just want to say that these interviews are majorly encouraging. I am hoping to be able to afford personal coaching at some point, but your videos give me plenty of golden nuggets to use in the meantime. Gif bless you sir.
if a single call is out of reach financially, consider the video course and weekly group coaching. You get much more help for less money. Even if you join for a month, the value is way better than a single one-on-one call. PainFreeYou.com/join
Again - so good, these conversations are so helpful. I have had two counsellor people say to me recently "It's not your fault" - end of sentence, but that doesn't get in my head ---Why is it not my fault? How do you know it's not my fault? Prove to me it's not my fault. I have been telling myself this CFS and Fibro I have had for 2O years is somehow my fault, that I am innately faulty, or somehow deserving of this illness. When you say, Dan: "It's not your fault - IT"S JUST WHERE YOU LANDED !" Now, that makes sense to me. Thank you so much for sharing so much for free.
See if you can replace CFS and Fibromyalgia with either TMS or Perceived Danger Pain/or symptoms. CFS and Fibro have way too many scary beliefs attached to those medical labels.
This was so helpful Dan. Love how there was so many parallels in what you both say but just different ways of explaining it. Really helpful for me today in my recovery from Long Covid😁. Thank you!!
I just learned about tms about week ago I so want to learn more! I have often wondered if the IC I first got in 2007 was brought on by stress in my life. I am really thinking it could be, ALSO I have chronic bad neck pain daily I really am starting to think this is stress mind induced. TO EVERYONE here dealing with tms and pain huge hugs to all.

Hi Dan and Rebecca thankyou so much for sharing this means alot to me , as i notice my symptoms are better when i dont stress , i tell my brain i am fine nothing bad is going to happen if i go shopping so fare it is working thankyou again 😊❤
Wow! What an amazing conversation ☺️ I feel so much lighter listening to your story Rebecca. Just knowing you recovered from the same things is a relief. I had so many "geek out" moments in this nodding along, it completely resonated. Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this 💕 xx
Amazing video and thanks for bringing this guest. I have had many years of back pain and I am also a meditator and yoga practitioner. This has given me lots of ideas and hope
Thank you for this story. My wish and goal is to become like you two: I want to share this knowledge with people of Balkan. It is so sad to see and know that nothing of this is available in this region.
Really interesting, love these interviews Dan, am only half way through, just fascinating what a pivotal role the brain plays in a myriad of health issues
"I was a YOGI" - haha. She is just great. Fantastic interview. I love these - as you get to hear the whole journey someone is on. And while the symptoms might not identically match - it still gives a great deal of confidence to hear these personal stories.
Amazing interview! Thank you Rebecca and Dan ❤. This really gives me hope as I can relate to Rebecca's story. So interesting to hear about how she dealt with emotions.
This resonates so much and is assisting me personally on a level that I was already working through and finding.. this has spoke into all those crevices that needed to be validated and reminded and revealed Bc of still being new concepts.. I feel less alone and as if I’m on the right track! Thank you
Thank you both this was another very inspiring success story... from 2 people very committed to helping others get out of chronic pain ... this means so much!!!!
Hi! The knowledge that I was okay and my symptoms were not an accurate reflection of danger was HUGE. Somatic tracking and other somatic meditations were also pivotal to process emotions and reconnect with my body in a safe way. I did a little bit of expressive writing too. Then it was really about challenging my triggers, doing activities that brought on symptoms with mindfulness and not giving into the fear!
Thank you Dan, thank you Rebecca I found this so helpful. I know this fatigue and many of the other symptoms. I feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Dan you have helped me through so much of this TMS. I also have to mention the Tao te Ching and Lao Tzu I’m learning to just be and to just accept x
So glad to hear that Ellen. The Tao te Ching is one of my favorite books! I particular like the Stephen Mitchell translation. I see TMS as a modern-day zen practice for the body and mind (which as Dan says are the same thing! ;-)
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach hi mam Bec. I am sick 3 years now, i was rushed to ER last 2018 august. Diagnosed of POTS, fibromyalgia,burning,chills,flu symptoms, cfs, frequent uti, IC, nerve pain, tingling,numb,anxiety,depression,insomia,sensitive to all, brain fog,i went to many doctors nothing foind til one day of 2019 i keepon searching its from psyche meds including BENZO caused it all. I experienced withrawal. The most difficult is dr reinstated me again.. Now im tapering benzo buts its a difficult journey.. Now i developed stomach issues.. Pls need advise..i miss my old self...
@@morningwithgracie7870 I'm so sorry to hear of your suffering. It's unfortunate that doctors prescribe Benzo medications so readily. It's vital to be overseen by a physician when tapering off those meds. Know you can do it and the TMS principles can help you along with the way. The other diagnoses you describe (POTS, Fibromyalgia, IC, CFS, brain fog, insomnia and others) are classic TMS symptoms, generated by a stressed and scared brain. Do what you can to soothe your brain and nervous system, attend to your emotions with self-compassion and regain a sense of safety. Keep watching Dan's videos everyday! I wish you the very best.
You two just helped me realize that I've tripped over an exceptional therapist. He works with ACT, despite its loss in popularity. Your discussion regarding "accepting your feelings" fits a big part of that. Thank you!
ACT is great, Amber! The added layer that TMS brings is that there's nothing broken or wrong with us in the first place. We just "be with" sensations and emotions as they happen.
Ms Tolin said, "wired but tired" actually was a title for a short book by NYC physician Ronald Hoffman about Dysautonomia from MVP which Sarno also lists as TMS. Interesting.
All the pain symptoms do not hold a candle to the fatigue and feeling of total collapse I feel. I’ve had pain for a long long time and I can almost handle pain. But exhaustion? No. It’s horrible. It sucks my life away minute by minute.
And the more you tell yourself how horrible you feel and that your life is sucking away, the more power you give to your symptoms. Scroll through the topics of my recent videos. You may find some that can help you change this story about how awful life is. th-cam.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
I want to say, that I go one step further than realizing that I am angry etc. When I feel negative emotions and I am in a conversation, I started saying : "Something in me is feeling sad (angry, frustrated etc..) now, when you react like this. I also do this, when I am alone and my head is telling me strange stories. That helps me not to identify with my emotions, but I give this engery space to move. Hope my English is good enough to explain what I mean !? 😊
this was good for me to hear today, thanks you two... i had my brain FREAK OUT BAAAAAAD, over something spiritual, and it started to feel unsafe BIG FREAKIN' TIME!!! talk about pain! well i won't talk about it, but my brain was in a state!! i could almost feeeeel it crying and blubbering in a panic... is that weird?
Not weird at all. Panic feels very bizarre and unsafe. The same tools you've been learning to calm a freak out about pain can work for virtually anything.
@@PainFreeYou it was like my brain was doing TWO things in reaction to my spiritual fear, it was crying in fear ITSELF and on top of that it was causing physical pain.... i can't explain it, but i could feeeeeel that part of myself crying in despair and terror and hopelessness
Excellent conversation! I love the conviction I hear from both of you. I’m relatively new on the TMS journey, but it is this assured-ness that really helps me. I had CFS over 30 years ago- suffered tremendously. I’ve had so many symptoms since early childhood, and now I finally find the support I really need. I know I’m not broken! Thanks to you- I really really heard you. 💝💝💝
@@BigBadMF43 Hey John, Thanks for asking! 8 months ago my nervous system was switched way on (F&F) and the sensations were quite intense. (groin, hip, leg, foot, glute) I had numerous other stuff too. I was almost in a wheelchair- but when I began understanding the science and how important clarity was, the symptoms decreased by about 25%. But the brain was still very much afraid of the pain while walking, so the sensations stuck around for awhile. But I persisted with the consistent messages of safety (Dan’s group helped immensely). Now I’m about 90% improved. The best thing is that my brain doesn’t fear the pain anymore, and I feel like I’m back in control. It’s been a trippy process, and I’ve learned so much. 🥳
@@JoiSharpMindBody wow. that is great to hear. i have flu like symptoms for 17 years now. all my medical and blood test are normal. i hope i can get results like you too. what is dan's group? do you think you will be 100% soon? my only mental issue is extreme anger and resentment, otherwise i am mentally healthy
A great interview. Thank you. I've been practicing not freaking out of my symptom. I keep telling myself "this symptom is not dangerous. I'm actually okay." I've been doing this for many months now. But what do I do if it's my body that automatically goes into fight/flight mode? Will this automatic physical reaction start to subside one day?
The brain is what controls the body. Keep teaching the brain safety. Yes, it will resolve once the brain feels safe. th-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I was diagnosed with central sensitization syndrome after an adverse reaction to immunizations and developed chronic pain and many , many other symptoms. This was 7 months ago. I found this channel and am feeling so empowered and hopeful! I am on a benzodiazepine taper while doing my healing journey and am looking for a therapist who does pain reprocessing therapy as well as learning about this all. Will I be able to heal while doing my benzo taper? I am working on healing my central sensitization, anxiety and other symptoms that come from my overactive nervous system. I am also doing an online empowered pain mastery course that does a lot of somatic tracking, gradual exposure to activity again and learning new neural pathways.
Yes, you can still recover while tapering from meds. Try not to make this your full time job. KNOW you are well and teach your brain that fact. Your nervous system is not broken. It is just very sensitive. Once your brain believes you are safe, the nervous system will settle itself on it's own. You can and will get well.
@@PainFreeYou thank you so much for your reply. I’m not able to work atm and had to take time off school until next year due to symptoms, so I am not doing anything but working on my healing (and seeing friends, etc). I plan to get back to everything eventually though, and don’t want this to be my fulltime job. However I have a lot of time on my hands so I’ve been reading about and exploring all of this so that I heal. I appreciate this, as I’ve been told my nervous system is in overactivation mode. So I’ll remind myself daily I’m not broken and that I am healing
@@PainFreeYou thanks so much. I will. As far as following your videos, where do you suggest I start for watching them? I’ve been kind of licking and choosing at the moment. I’ve already taken your quiz
What about low back pain that never goes away. Mine has been persistent 24/7 for 3 months. I’m petrified I have kidney disease 😢 no itu’s but the read senior age groups urine itu infections can be missed in the lab. I’m scared they have missed it.
As far as the sickness I've been on 10 antibiotics since April. 3 were for one uti turned out it was ( inflammation) then another beginning this month thats still going on... Oh now I'm sick again, I'm always under bad stress.
Tons of trauma. Tons of anxiety always think symptoms will kill me , in the docs way to much , especially since the pelvic pressure and constant peeing prob 8times
I'm sorry you are going through so many challenges. A good place to begin to understand chronic pain and/or illness is my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Yes. Anxiety is just another symptom of the brain perceiving danger. Teaching ourselves and our brains that we are safe can definitely help anxiety. A great place to begin is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Interesting conversation. I'm wondering if this would really work for me. I took your assessment and it says I have TMS. Also I've been assessed by neurologist and they claim Parkinson's features. Try Parkinson's medicine that didn't work. Went to another physician / movement disorder specialist who says Parkinson's features maybe. Another diagnosis this year was covid-19 long haulers. I've never had covid-19. Not that I know of. So how does this play Dan.. is there hope for me with TMS. Just joined your group so please let me know your thoughts. Rodger
The best place to start is my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start I lay out both free and paid options for recovery. I DO believe that if the pain test indicates TMS then you CAN get well. It's all about teaching the brain you are okay so it can stop sounding the alarm (pain/symptoms). You have nothing to lose other than the symptoms themselves. Dive in.
Really loved this interview, thank you! I have ME/CFS and have had it since I was 8, so for 28 years now. I am mostly housebound and have never been able to work, or finish school. I had a virus infection of some kind, and I never recovered. The thing is my sister and mum also became sick with ME/CFS and although part of me believes TMS work could be helpful to me the other part thinks perhaps there is no hope and I have some virus that will never leave. Any advice would be helpful.
There is hope and you are on the right path. Watch my daily videos. The fastest way is to go through the things listed in the description of my videos. Learn. Take the assessment. Consider the fast track course and group coaching.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you Dan, I'll do that. I have found your channel recently and started watching your daily videos, they're really helpful. I'll take a look at your website.
My heart goes out to you Safirezebabe. I was told that viruses were suppressing my immune system and had invaded my brain. That scared me even more and kept me locked in a cycle of symptoms. Know that you can recover! I've since learned from Dr. Howard Schubiner that titers of Epstein-Barr and other viruses are only indicators or past exposure. They measure harmless antibodies. Many asymptomatic people have Epstein-Barr and other viruses commonly associated with CFS/ME. Don't let the doctors scare you. You want to take charge of your health and life! Find your self-empowerment and faith in your own innate resilience. Watch Dan's videos and consider his course. Then do whatever brings you a little energy and peace as often as possible every single day. You can feel well again! It starts by learning the TMS knowledge, allowing your emotions and sensations as they are, stepping out of fear and finding more enjoyment right where you are.
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach bec do u get to the point you took psyche meds including benzo? Dd u took antibiotics for uti and IC coz i read antibiotics is bad...
@@morningwithgracie7870 No, I never took Benzo medications. I did have to take antibiotics for UTIs in the past but later discovered a more natural remedy for UTIs called D-Mannose, which helped me a lot. No antibiotics are needed for Interstitial Cystitis since it's not an infection. It's TMS. It's important to get a culture to find out if you have an actual infection. You can get those through urgent care of over the counter tests. Wishing you the best!
Western medicine is clueless about the mind body connection as one, I’m surprised these holistic “healers” can’t find the connection either. So many people are suffering because they refuse do any research into tms. When I had back pain years ago I spent many hours researching my pain and cause, then luckily I just happened to stumble upon Sarno’s book and work. Read all of them and then some others and this was when it was not popular. Since then I always recommend the books to my friends suffering, they look at me like I’m on drugs, most don’t consider him until they have exhausted and failed at every other treatment.
Is there no room here for holistic means? Although the brain is at play for sure, I would hesitate to dismiss the fact that nutrition might help especially the way people eat today. No?
Eating well for overall nutrition is obviously a good thing. However, I have spoken to tons of people who became so fearful of the "wrong foods" that they ended up eating three foods and still never got better. Food is absolutely important, but depending on the symptoms you are trying to resolve, it may have limited impact as TMS means the BRAIN is creating the symptoms and the body is fine.
I think I’ll watch this every damn day as if it’s apart of my day . This is the best one yet . Her energy is so calming . Yours together is ...wow!
Get the message - you are already fine. Your brain is just scared.
You’re the best, Dan!❤
The recover stories are the best for healing IMO
I can't agree more! @@davidless57

Then it was really about challenging my triggers, doing activities that brought on symptoms with mindfulness and not giving into the fear!
Love you guys for doing this
Our pleasure.
Thank you Dan, thank you Rebecca I found this so helpful. I know this fatigue and many of the other symptoms. I feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Dan you have helped me through so much of this TMS. I also have to mention the Tao te Ching and Lao Tzu I’m learning to just be and to just accept x
Thank you!
So glad to hear that Ellen. The Tao te Ching is one of my favorite books! I particular like the Stephen Mitchell translation. I see TMS as a modern-day zen practice for the body and mind (which as Dan says are the same thing! ;-)
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach hi mam Bec. I am sick 3 years now, i was rushed to ER last 2018 august. Diagnosed of POTS, fibromyalgia,burning,chills,flu symptoms, cfs, frequent uti, IC, nerve pain, tingling,numb,anxiety,depression,insomia,sensitive to all, brain fog,i went to many doctors nothing foind til one day of 2019 i keepon searching its from psyche meds including BENZO caused it all. I experienced withrawal. The most difficult is dr reinstated me again.. Now im tapering benzo buts its a difficult journey.. Now i developed stomach issues.. Pls need advise..i miss my old self...
@@morningwithgracie7870 I'm so sorry to hear of your suffering. It's unfortunate that doctors prescribe Benzo medications so readily. It's vital to be overseen by a physician when tapering off those meds. Know you can do it and the TMS principles can help you along with the way. The other diagnoses you describe (POTS, Fibromyalgia, IC, CFS, brain fog, insomnia and others) are classic TMS symptoms, generated by a stressed and scared brain. Do what you can to soothe your brain and nervous system, attend to your emotions with self-compassion and regain a sense of safety. Keep watching Dan's videos everyday! I wish you the very best.
I know I keep saying this but that was sooo good! I resonated with so much of what was said. Thank you!
You are so welcome
@@PainFreeYou Ditto! Glad it resonated Jules!
You two just helped me realize that I've tripped over an exceptional therapist. He works with ACT, despite its loss in popularity. Your discussion regarding "accepting your feelings" fits a big part of that. Thank you!
Welcome.
ACT is great, Amber! The added layer that TMS brings is that there's nothing broken or wrong with us in the first place. We just "be with" sensations and emotions as they happen.
These guys are angels 😇
Thank you.
Aww, you're very kind Ezza.
Thank you
Great video guys!! God bless
Thank you! You too!
Ms Tolin said, "wired but tired" actually was a title for a short book by NYC physician Ronald Hoffman about Dysautonomia from MVP which Sarno also lists as TMS. Interesting.
Yep.
All the pain symptoms do not hold a candle to the fatigue and feeling of total collapse I feel. I’ve had pain for a long long time and I can almost handle pain. But exhaustion? No. It’s horrible. It sucks my life away minute by minute.
And the more you tell yourself how horrible you feel and that your life is sucking away, the more power you give to your symptoms. Scroll through the topics of my recent videos. You may find some that can help you change this story about how awful life is.

@@PainFreeYou Thank you for reading my comment. Will do!
I want to say, that I go one step further than realizing that I am angry etc. When I feel negative emotions and I am in a conversation, I started saying : "Something in me is feeling sad (angry, frustrated etc..) now, when you react like this. I also do this, when I am alone and my head is telling me strange stories. That helps me not to identify with my emotions, but I give this engery space to move.
Hope my English is good enough to explain what I mean !? 😊
Yes, thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching
this was good for me to hear today, thanks you two... i had my brain FREAK OUT BAAAAAAD, over something spiritual, and it started to feel unsafe BIG FREAKIN' TIME!!! talk about pain! well i won't talk about it, but my brain was in a state!! i could almost feeeeel it crying and blubbering in a panic... is that weird?
Not weird at all. Panic feels very bizarre and unsafe. The same tools you've been learning to calm a freak out about pain can work for virtually anything.
@@PainFreeYou it was like my brain was doing TWO things in reaction to my spiritual fear, it was crying in fear ITSELF and on top of that it was causing physical pain.... i can't explain it, but i could feeeeeel that part of myself crying in despair and terror and hopelessness
Excellent conversation! I love the conviction I hear from both of you.
I’m relatively new on the TMS journey, but it is this assured-ness that really helps me.
I had CFS over 30 years ago- suffered tremendously. I’ve had so many symptoms since early childhood, and now I finally find the support I really need. I know I’m not broken! Thanks to you- I really really heard you. 💝💝💝
Awesome.
You are not broken Joi! You can absolutely recover from mind-body symptoms, including CFS. Keep watching this if it helps bolster your conviction! 💖
you posted 8 months ago.
have you recovered?
@@BigBadMF43 Hey John, Thanks for asking!
8 months ago my nervous system was switched way on (F&F) and the sensations were quite intense. (groin, hip, leg, foot, glute) I had numerous other stuff too. I was almost in a wheelchair- but when I began understanding the science and how important clarity was, the symptoms decreased by about 25%. But the brain was still very much afraid of the pain while walking, so the sensations stuck around for awhile. But I persisted with the consistent messages of safety (Dan’s group helped immensely).
Now I’m about 90% improved. The best thing is that my brain doesn’t fear the pain anymore, and I feel like I’m back in control. It’s been a trippy process, and I’ve learned so much. 🥳
@@JoiSharpMindBody wow. that is great to hear. i have flu like symptoms for 17 years now. all my medical and blood test are normal. i hope i can get results like you too. what is dan's group? do you think you will be 100% soon? my only mental issue is extreme anger and resentment, otherwise i am mentally healthy
A great interview. Thank you. I've been practicing not freaking out of my symptom. I keep telling myself "this symptom is not dangerous. I'm actually okay." I've been doing this for many months now. But what do I do if it's my body that automatically goes into fight/flight mode? Will this automatic physical reaction start to subside one day?
The brain is what controls the body. Keep teaching the brain safety. Yes, it will resolve once the brain feels safe. th-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/w-d-xo.html
woo, San Diego, baby!
Hi, I was diagnosed with central sensitization syndrome after an adverse reaction to immunizations and developed chronic pain and many , many other symptoms. This was 7 months ago. I found this channel and am feeling so empowered and hopeful! I am on a benzodiazepine taper while doing my healing journey and am looking for a therapist who does pain reprocessing therapy as well as learning about this all. Will I be able to heal while doing my benzo taper? I am working on healing my central sensitization, anxiety and other symptoms that come from my overactive nervous system. I am also doing an online empowered pain mastery course that does a lot of somatic tracking, gradual exposure to activity again and learning new neural pathways.
Yes, you can still recover while tapering from meds. Try not to make this your full time job. KNOW you are well and teach your brain that fact. Your nervous system is not broken. It is just very sensitive. Once your brain believes you are safe, the nervous system will settle itself on it's own. You can and will get well.
@@PainFreeYou thank you so much for your reply. I’m not able to work atm and had to take time off school until next year due to symptoms, so I am not doing anything but working on my healing (and seeing friends, etc). I plan to get back to everything eventually though, and don’t want this to be my fulltime job. However I have a lot of time on my hands so I’ve been reading about and exploring all of this so that I heal. I appreciate this, as I’ve been told my nervous system is in overactivation mode. So I’ll remind myself daily I’m not broken and that I am healing
@@loganmartin7440 You can and will do this. Follow the daily videos and implement what you can.
@@PainFreeYou thanks so much. I will. As far as following your videos, where do you suggest I start for watching them? I’ve been kind of licking and choosing at the moment. I’ve already taken your quiz
What about low back pain that never goes away. Mine has been persistent 24/7 for 3 months. I’m petrified I have kidney disease 😢 no itu’s but the read senior age groups urine itu infections can be missed in the lab. I’m scared they have missed it.
This playlist explains what is going on and what to do about it: th-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Yes I've come to that ' no one else can fix me.
The key with TMS is that there's actually nothing to fix. We just have to convince our brains of that fact. ;-)
Am sure agoraphobia is a defence mechanism too. Thank you for sharing your story.
I think so too
We need t-shirts, "Calm the heck down..." LOL
Haha - love it.
Im living in fear everyday i have pelvic floor dysfunction and itd ruining my life 😒ill be trying the group soon
Can you do this while on SSRI’s and ADHD medication?
Yes, you can.
As far as the sickness I've been on 10 antibiotics since April. 3 were for one uti turned out it was ( inflammation) then another beginning this month thats still going on... Oh now I'm sick again, I'm always under bad stress.
I really need to get back on my zoloft
Tons of trauma. Tons of anxiety always think symptoms will kill me , in the docs way to much , especially since the pelvic pressure and constant peeing prob 8times
I'm sorry you are going through so many challenges. A good place to begin to understand chronic pain and/or illness is my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
@@PainFreeYou thankyou
More than this too 😞
I’m wondering how Rebecca qualified for disability with social security given that this condition is not recognized by SSDI?
Hi Dan, thank you for a great video. Do you think the TMS would help with anxiety?
Yes. Anxiety is just another symptom of the brain perceiving danger. Teaching ourselves and our brains that we are safe can definitely help anxiety. A great place to begin is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Thank you Dan, I’ll check out this information!
What does TMS stand for,, because when I look it up it said something that has to do with magnets?
Tension Myositis Syndrome, named by Dr Sarno. Colloquially known as Too Much Stress.
Hey..im From San Diego..👍❤🙏😜
Hey hey!
Interesting conversation. I'm wondering if this would really work for me. I took your assessment and it says I have TMS. Also I've been assessed by neurologist and they claim Parkinson's features. Try Parkinson's medicine that didn't work. Went to another physician / movement disorder specialist who says Parkinson's features maybe. Another diagnosis this year was covid-19 long haulers. I've never had covid-19. Not that I know of. So how does this play Dan.. is there hope for me with TMS. Just joined your group so please let me know your thoughts. Rodger
The best place to start is my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
I lay out both free and paid options for recovery.
I DO believe that if the pain test indicates TMS then you CAN get well. It's all about teaching the brain you are okay so it can stop sounding the alarm (pain/symptoms).
You have nothing to lose other than the symptoms themselves. Dive in.
COVID is bs another label
Really loved this interview, thank you! I have ME/CFS and have had it since I was 8, so for 28 years now. I am mostly housebound and have never been able to work, or finish school. I had a virus infection of some kind, and I never recovered. The thing is my sister and mum also became sick with ME/CFS and although part of me believes TMS work could be helpful to me the other part thinks perhaps there is no hope and I have some virus that will never leave. Any advice would be helpful.
There is hope and you are on the right path. Watch my daily videos. The fastest way is to go through the things listed in the description of my videos. Learn. Take the assessment. Consider the fast track course and group coaching.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you Dan, I'll do that. I have found your channel recently and started watching your daily videos, they're really helpful. I'll take a look at your website.
My heart goes out to you Safirezebabe. I was told that viruses were suppressing my immune system and had invaded my brain. That scared me even more and kept me locked in a cycle of symptoms. Know that you can recover! I've since learned from Dr. Howard Schubiner that titers of Epstein-Barr and other viruses are only indicators or past exposure. They measure harmless antibodies. Many asymptomatic people have Epstein-Barr and other viruses commonly associated with CFS/ME. Don't let the doctors scare you. You want to take charge of your health and life! Find your self-empowerment and faith in your own innate resilience. Watch Dan's videos and consider his course. Then do whatever brings you a little energy and peace as often as possible every single day. You can feel well again! It starts by learning the TMS knowledge, allowing your emotions and sensations as they are, stepping out of fear and finding more enjoyment right where you are.
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach bec do u get to the point you took psyche meds including benzo? Dd u took antibiotics for uti and IC coz i read antibiotics is bad...
@@morningwithgracie7870 No, I never took Benzo medications. I did have to take antibiotics for UTIs in the past but later discovered a more natural remedy for UTIs called D-Mannose, which helped me a lot. No antibiotics are needed for Interstitial Cystitis since it's not an infection. It's TMS. It's important to get a culture to find out if you have an actual infection. You can get those through urgent care of over the counter tests. Wishing you the best!
Western medicine is clueless about the mind body connection as one, I’m surprised these holistic “healers” can’t find the connection either.
So many people are suffering because they refuse do any research into tms. When I had back pain years ago I spent many hours researching my pain and cause, then luckily I just happened to stumble upon Sarno’s book and work. Read all of them and then some others and this was when it was not popular. Since then I always recommend the books to my friends suffering, they look at me like I’m on drugs, most don’t consider him until they have exhausted and failed at every other treatment.
Unfortunately most people need to hit the proverbial wall before they open up to this work.
I'm in my 29th year
Is there no room here for holistic means? Although the brain is at play for sure, I would hesitate to dismiss the fact that nutrition might help especially the way people eat today. No?
Eating well for overall nutrition is obviously a good thing. However, I have spoken to tons of people who became so fearful of the "wrong foods" that they ended up eating three foods and still never got better. Food is absolutely important, but depending on the symptoms you are trying to resolve, it may have limited impact as TMS means the BRAIN is creating the symptoms and the body is fine.
