I just wonder how many people he has helped in all his years. Probably in the thousands.. An awesome man to dedicate his life to these suffering people like me.. .. Thank you for the interview.. And your dedication Yonit
In my opinion, you and Dr. Schubiner are angels here on earth. His work amazes me, and listening to him so wisely explain about our symptoms, the connection to our brain/sub conscious brings me to tears. I had surgery in July to correct hyper parathyroidism… One of my most prominent symptoms was lightheadedness/dizziness. It’s only been in the past three months, that I have discovered Dr. Sarno’s work, along with Dan, at pain free you… And of course yourself, Dr. Y. Now I have the reassurance, and the knowledge to carry me forward. I no longer have to sit on my bed propped up all day with my eyes closed most of the time. That is long gone! Now I am working on these lightheaded spells… I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to post these amazing videos. You are a godsend!
Cindy, I hope everyone sees your comment because it will give so many people hope! It is completely my privilege to be able to interview Dr. Schubiner- I know it will mean the world to people dealing with dizziness to hear from him that in all his years of experience, he has seen many people recover from it!
Wow, I really needed to hear this! After seeing multiple neurologists who say there’s no treatment for MdDS really made me lose hope and made my symptoms worse. I’ve changed my mindset recently and knowing I can heal from this awful disorder is such a relief. All your videos make me feel a million times better. thank you so much Dr. Yo!
So true, I am having all these hallucinations (Weird vision, Unable to focus naturally, Anxiety, Insomnia, Heart palpitation, Brain fog & many more) post covid. & over the past 1 & half year I have been trying to find the answers for all of these or cure you can say. I am follow your guide on this. Hope for the speedy recovery though I am gonna do it with patience.
God bless both of you for all that you’re doing 😭❤️ There are no words for the beautiful impact you continue to have on people’s lives, and the hope you bring them! 🥰

Thank you Dr. Yonit for doing this interview with the amazing Dr. Shubiner. I haven’t seen much material up until now that dizziness is nueroplastic so this is very helpful for my brain’s belief in it. I appreciate you also asking him how we can take steps right now. I feel like I’ve done a lot of emotional work over the years but this reminds me of the various emotions to express that I may not have done much with and to try speaking them out loud then releasing them and living differently after that. I tend to journal mostly but there are multiple ways for self expression. Thank you for your advocacy for patience and true healing!
Molly, you are so welcome- it was such an honor for me to talk to him specifically about vestibular issues. It sounds like you're really implementing what we talked about. I know it's not always obvious how to do this.

Thanks so much for again a nice video. For me it for sure started because of stress. The stress caused burnout symptoms and later bppv. After BPPV i developed the PPPD. The stress that caused burnout stuff is long gone... My life is quiet and i really do almost everything in life. Horse riding/ driving and more. BUT.. i still feel pppd symptoms all day long. Some days its more my eyes, some days its more just out of balance etc. I do not have anything that worries me other than the symptoms from pppd that i feel all the time. I really try to do what you say and also this doctor..keep going with my life, try to not be scared and have trust...but...because it takes so much time...i keep falling back in feeling scared that i just wont be able to resolve it...🙈The most i worry is when i speak or am with more people around me...i feel so out of balance than. And than shaky....is that weird? It worries me that i feel like that...🥰
@@hadbrouwerHoi Henk, kom je ook uit NL? Ik las een eerder comment hier ergens van jou. Zou ik je wat dingen mogen vragen? Missch via email? Zo ja, zou super zijn als je je mail adres schrijft...😊🙏
Yes, recognizing that stress is a very important part! It sounds like the fear is still strong and there are times when you avoid things because they're scary (this is totally understandable), That is probably a part of why the symptoms are still going. It does take time and I wish it did not. I know it's awful and you're suffering. Sometimes I find that even when the initial stress is gone, there are still some things that are "sticky" in life that are reminding people of difficult times from the past. This can also make the fear worse- anxiety is often a response to emotions that are uncomfortable.
Is BPPV neuroplastic? Can it only be caused by crystals out of place or can our brain be trained to expect vertigo in certain head positions? If the first one, is the right manoeuvre the only way out?
I have had many exams, started from health anxiety and now im doing better with that but ruling all out before i accept neural circit only. Im finishing a bit more with eyes but i had a brain mri, sinus and brain ct (different years) brain and neck mra, carotid ultrasound, auto immune bloodwork, echo and stress heart tests. Everything i think! Neruo, ent, er, opthalmologist, pcp… etc etc all tests over past 5-7 yrs i think. Is this covering everything to say somatic dizziness? Anything im possibly missing? Doubtful lol but i need to let the checking go and check fully so my brain lets go of that part!
It sounds like you have been thoroughly checked. If doctors cannot find anything physically causing the dizziness, then it is neural circuit dizziness which can be healed.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you and yes most are not sure or say vestibular migraines or anxiety. I think it started with anxiety and is triggered by neck and jaw issues but the fear and circles trying to figure it out for years on end has me in a more chronic loop. I do have some issues with my eyes and its the last thing to keep checking but after your videos it seems thats common in neural circuit as well.
Superb interview. Thank you Yonit for allowing Dr Schubiner to so clearly articulate the mechanisms of NCD within the TMS/mind body profile. Very helpful.
As we discussed a few minutes later, damage to the inner ear heals or the brain adapts to it. When this does not happen, inner ear damage does not explain the symptoms.
I’ve been dizzy for 10 years with no answer I feel dizzy daily like Iam gonna pass out. I’ve been told I am crazy it’s all in my head. I’ve had a lot of trauma. Today no doctor has been able to help me.its affected my life and Iam very wore out from dealing with it. I work part time because of it. I have a lot of symptoms along with it, chronic pains everywhere just disabling.
I am so sorry you are going through this, Delores. You are not alone and there is hope! Please consider taking my free course on healing. Many people have found answers to their questions within this course. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Loved this interview! I have suffered 9 years since a concussion with chronic dizziness balance and daily migraines along with a million other awful symptoms. What about things like occipital neuralgia if something is wrong that needs maybe surgery would that not help with this kind of work the placebo effect?
Hi there, I am so sorry you’ve been suffering for so long! occipital neuralgia is another one of those symptom-based or primary diagnoses that Dr. Schubiner refers to in this video. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is tissue damage that explains the symptoms.
Hi I'm in South Africa I've been having dizziness for 2 months now but your videos have helped me a lot here in South Africa doctors don't really know about this condition...
Thank you so much for this important interview! Next time please get Dr. Shubiner a top of the line microphone. Dr. Yonit’s microphone is very clear. Thank you so much.
Doctor, does your book go into examples of how you implement your expert knowledge to help people cure their constant dizziness. I'm hoping that you can describe what you observed before starting and then observed after you started along with what yoiu did (or had someone else do for you) to get them well. If you published a lot of those episodes with a successful finish, you would sell more books and increase the knowledge of those who try to implement what you have essentially taught them to do. Thanks for your help and considering my suggestion to help others learn from your knowledge.
Hi Bob, all of my recommendations and techniques are included in my free course. I go through all of these in my modules through the course. thesteadycoach.com/free-course My workbook acts as a complement to my course and may be easier for people that are experiencing difficulties with screens.
I disagree with the emotion caused my symptoms . From 2017 upto this very day with these PPPD. No medical help yet for me on Maui. I'll make it or break it.. Ooh-rah
Thank you for this very informative interview Dr. Yo. I’m aware that everyone has been warned to not discuss Covid vaccine injury but my question is if this is the cause of symptoms, can these people be healed as well.
If there is actual tissue damage from any vaccine, then it is not really a mindbody issue. However, in most cases in which people report issues after vaccines, there is no evidence of tissue damage, and in those cases, they can be treated as mindbody issues. Anecdotally- I've worked with many whose symptoms came on after illness or vaccine. None had actual tissue damage, and all got better with mindbody methods.
Can you or the doctor recommend a good vestibular rehab therapist in the San Diego area, please. I have had Menierre's and VM vertigo for 33 years off and on. Now long term Covid MECFS so I need more support. Also covered in first time psoriasis. A lot on my plate but the dizziness is the most difficult at the moment. Excellent video. Actually all of them are. So so helpful. But I can honestly say that for Menierre's sufferers, sometimes the brain doesn't seem to compensate. The deafness, tinnitus, pressure, and vertigo are deeply disabling. Pushing through for decades has taken its toll. I would love it if someone could tell me, "You will never be dizzy again." Would be a release from this prison.
I went to San Diego chiropractic neurologist, and they did testing on me and corrected many of my visual, impairments and balance. Those are corrected but my dizziness continued so I am thinking I have PPPD I’m so happy. I have found these videos. Also, I go to PRN physical therapy, which is covered by my insurance, and they have some excellent therapist that know about VOR, etc. There’s also a place in Missionvalley called Occulus which is for dizziness. And there’s also the dizzy doctor. Just look him up under the busy doctor. I haven’t done the last 2 things listed, but this is all in San Diego.
I am listening to this as a patient who was a medical professional. I think we are being told we are not to castrofize the symptoms but acknowledge by Journaling, lean into emotion to get to bottom. Of it and brain will follow. I had( have) chronic pain , 35 yrs then 25 yrs of vestibular sx. Recently migraines reemerging while adding a med to help pain. This while removing what I was compensating the vertigo . Awaiting a vertigi check for 7mos while migraines coming morefrequently. One happened and in June and i say it broke my brain. Ent says its A thing .I'm like your are kidding right! My brain is irritated. I know one of the newer sensors are. My husband's son who emerged into my life after being homeless , raised his daughter w my husband and she was a difficult child. Not at first. Life happens and we are caring for loved ones. Now I see I am pushing myself to to cope and have the best life I can have but my brain is foggy and It's not working as I would like. I have stopped doing more as since covid hit I had an amping of cardiac again. Have not had issues in 7 years. ? Guess my brain is calling the shots .
Vitamin & mineral deficiencies can also be a cause of dizziness and other symptoms. My iron deficiency has caused this for me. Emotions definitely play a part too. Great discussion, thank you!!
yes, I wanna be married and im not. My childhood wasnt too bad, parents divorce childhood sexual abuse,drugs pregnancy abortion- then I turned it all around graduated college marriage 4 boys 2 not my own..., divorce after only 15 years, now been on my own for 23.
I have been dealing with dizziness for the past 3 years. I was taking medication for anxiety and was dizzy while taking it. I quit 1year ago and got tinnitus in my right ear 4 days after I stopped taking the medication. I have had MRI'S, CT scans with and without contrast from neurologist, seen ENT and had VNG test and they say it's not my ears and they says everything is fine. I have pain in my neck and shoulders and I'm tense all the time from worrying about this. I have good day's and not so good days. The lights inside stores make the dizziness worse sometimes but I can be outside and it's fine. Is it me causing the dizziness for thinking about it all the time? I try not to but it's there. There have been times when it's not there for a few days but then it's back. Is there still hope to get rid of the dizziness? Is this all just mental?
This also sounds like anxiety disorder where you have all kinds of symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo and the fear of those sensations causes a cascade of others and induce more fear and the believe something is structurally wrong.
Very true, there is a strong overlap between them. One reason I don't call it an anxiety disorder is that many people who have physical symptoms don't have classic symptoms of anxiety and/or don't classify themselves as anxious.
I'm eager to listen to this! Thanks, Doctor. One question: I'm in the process of getting out of my second heavy pppd spell. I'm currently on medication, I'm doing therapy, writing a journal, and basically following your advice on how I should think about the problem. I'm very into fitness, I train 6 days a week and I'd like to start doing BJJ on top of that. Once or twice a week. Since BJJ has a lot to do with grappling and choking do you think this is a bad idea? Of course, I'd go learn it from professional martial artists in a safe environment.
Hans, this is great! Do not be afraid of physical activity- you are resilient and strong. Exposure to stress in a controlled way like in martial arts will make you MORE resilient to stress. Don't be worried if symptoms temporarily increase when you are working out/working hard- this is a normal nervous system response. GO FOR IT!
god is really making a better person through all this- and I am lucky to get a roof over my head for a while since I am not married to any one right now! I appreciate you doctors "sittiing down to talk with me soo much.
Hi Sr. YO, I recently stumbled upon your channel and have listened to a few of your videos. It has been so helpful for me emotionally to hear this information and the ice cream on the cake is listening to your intervew with Dr. Schubner. As you both stated, I have practitioners, both Neurologist and ENT, who have suggested CBT, SSRI, and VRT. I have had VRT, which helped but only for a tine and has no interest i. an SSRI that will only bandaid the problem at best or cause worse side effects, no thank you! I have Vestibular Migraine so my symptoms are largely dizziness and other things versus headaches(sometimes). I also have RA. The last 2 1/2 years have been spent attending a cycle of doctor's appointments and being unsble to have much of a social life or ho to the gym becsuse of the oftentimes debilitating symptoms. Thank you and Dr. Schubner so much. This gives me hope. However, where do I begin to find a practice like this. I live in Philadelphia, PA.
Good interview. Thank you both. One question though if I have physical damage to my vestibular system can I still get better. I have an 80% vestibular loss in my right ear.
Wow thank u so much for helping sometimes u feel helpless like what’s is wrong with me have been working out my whole life ..I had a wicked session of vertigo that scared me so bad that I felt I was being 😮possessed could not control my eyes or the room from spinning 😮after that I started having panic attacks I was afraid to leave the house !!felt so scared and depressed saw 3 Ent doctors found nothing had MRI on my brain found nothing Spinning went away🙏but now I go through that feeling u describe feeling wobbly and lighted it’s like it changed But thanks to your channel I realized it can be controlled with my thoughts I’m learning to manage it !!! I’m learning not to fight it and what my triggers are and not get upset I will get better ❤️🩹 the mind controls the body I’m working on it every day 🙏it is not 100% yet but what is ?? I just keep telling my brain it’s ok I’m not in danger relax it’s ok like it’s my best friend bye instead of my worst enemy ❤thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏😘will never give up💯
I have used the ‘Journal Speak’ program she emphasizes the need to use feeling words when expressing feelings- meaning “I feel unheard”, “I feel alone”, rather than “ I feel I like I’m alone”. Otherwise you are doing more of a narrative than expressing your feelings. Googling ‘feeling word list’ can help. It’s hard but much more helpful.
A few years ago, I would get these occasional dizzy spells. Over time they got worse. Finally, one Sunday evening I had one that was so bad I had my wife take me to the hospital. Of course, they could find nothing wrong 😊and released me; suggesting I follow up with my personal physician, which I did. He had me get a couple tests, ct scan, fmri. When I went for my follow up, he said nothing was wrong with me. To his credit he didn’t suggest more tests. He just said I was okay. I haven’t had a dizziness episode since then. It is sooo clear to me now that it was TMS, or physical anxiety or mind/body or whatever you would like to call it.
Also, how to get rid of the sensation that feels like someone injected adrenaline & cortisol in your body…which is the feeling one gets when tapering off prescribed benzodiazapines.
I was diagnosed with inner ear perpipheral damage, and pppd. What do you do if you have mild damage and pppd? How to cure this if you have mild structural damage? Is this only to help people with no damage ? 😢
I challenged my brain and told my brain to bring it on and boy did it I was so dizzy for 2 days omigosh so it really worked but it's very very scary so now I'm going to try telling my brain to stop it 0:56
Great interview , I rely on these , it’s just still so fascinating to me that it all starts within ourselves and how powerful the brain and intricate our brains are , thank you once again for HOPE ❤️
im a domestic violence survivor an I can see my abuser caused this fear that has never left I guess it is lodged in my nuero circuitry, thank you for showing me this, I will keep you posted.
Hi Sharon, you are in good company in this channel. What I have found is that trauma survivors are some of the strongest and most resilient people. You can do this.
37:21 what if the situation itself is going out and being with people that is making you stressed and not wanting to think about having to be at events because of the fear behind the symptoms and sensations?
My recommendation is to focus your attention on other sources of stress that are not directly related to symptoms, and to address the fear and avoidance in the ways i talk about in my course.
Workup with ENT and/or neurologist and vestibular testing. Sometimes includes imaging and various lab tests, hearing tests and specific tests to check the function of the eyes and inner ear.
Also symptom based diagnoses like post Covid syndrome or PPPD are primary diagnosis, aka the symptoms themselves are the diagnosis, this means they are mindbody issues.
Sometime my dizziness would cause me to past out for a few seconds, and other times the dizziness would occur but won’t be unconscious. I do notice that my left ears do drains a lot and scratched a lot as well; where I would put one of my finger in the middle and rub it very hard for a few second.
I would like to ask him if taking a Benzodiazepine would help or hurt the creation of the new neural pathways to heal from PPPD. These medicines relax you (can take away the fear of the dizziness) but I’ve also heard they are not good for neuroplasticity. I sometimes take a very small dose when I’m super anxious but also started healing from PPPD with all the tips on this channel so I wouldn’t want to jeopardize or slow down the process of retraining the brain.
Hi Alan, I hear the anxiety in this question and I want to reassure you that taking a small dose every now and then is not going to cause an issue with your recovery. I would like you to view it as an act of self compassion when you need it.
Yes, but not just fear of the symptoms. It can also be fear from long ago, from difficult past experiences, and it's usually not just fear but also shame and other painful emotions.
Hi so did I hear this right...when alone verbally say out loud the things that are bothering you like you're telling the person who hurt you you're angry at them? Or do you do it in your imagination and the steps are feeling anger, then guilt, then sadness then compassion Dr Yo? Im a 20 yr on and off MdDS sufferer so I obviously need to clear my demon's 💀 to get on top of this.
You can do either one, Janine, or you can write them down if you wish. I think you have the workbook coming and it walks you through this in a slightly different way! But ultimately- feeling anger, asking guilt to step aside, and then leaning into any sadness or compassion you feel after the anger is out.
I have a maningioma tumor that my brain stem goes around. It causes me vestibular issues, I have had stambismus surgery on both of my eyes and it corrected my vision but I still have dizziness and am in a wheelchair bcs when I try to walk I'm a fall risk . My tumor is inoperable and has been arrested with radiation, my guestion can this be helped with these exercises or is this my new normal?
Hi Kimberly, it’s hard to answer that- all conditions are biopsychosocial but some have more of a biological contribution than others. This would be a good question to ask your doctor: “do you think my dizziness symptoms are fully explained by my tumor?” And “would vestibular rehabilitation improve my symptoms and/or functioning?”
Hi Dr. I don’t know how to say thank you for this great interview. I have one question, is it normal with pppd to feel tingling in my legs ? I’ve been diagnosed with VM and pppd
My first recommendation on where to start is to take my free course on healing chronic dizziness. My techniques and recommendations are condensed in this course and it is completely free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
va urmaresc din Romania si imi dau seama ca nici un medic la care am fost in decursul celor 20 de ani de boala nu a stiut sa imi spuna ce am.=, deci am o ameteala cronica. uneori am luni intregi in care nu pot sa ies din casa, am fost la foarte multi medici de specialitate reuma, ORL, neuro si toate medicamentele pe care le-am luat nu au dat rezultate. din aceasta cauza am ajuns sa am probleme de anxietate dar problema ametelilor nu s-a rezolvat, pur si simplu nu mai am nici o speranta si sunt f, speriata

@@TheSteadyCoach I know I have the book. Do I ignore it/ not give into crying? I’m not like this always and don’t know if it came back strong because I’m ignoring the anxiety part
Thank you for time and this really interesting and informative interview! But how can you recover from a physically damaged inner ear such as I have from Labyrinthitis which has now become and diagnosed as Vestibular Migraine. I contracted Labyrinthitis I believe after I lost my Mum and brother on the same day two years apart. I also had a really difficult childhood and lots of trauma in my life which I do believe has cause me to become an anxious person getting worse with post menopause.
I just wonder how many people he has helped in all his years. Probably in the thousands.. An awesome man to dedicate his life to these suffering people like me.. .. Thank you for the interview.. And your dedication Yonit
Tens of thousands if not more. He is an amazing man.

Wow this was awesome to hear!! I have become to fearful of food because of the whole “migraine diet” I need to stop 😩 I need to see this doctor
Thank you once again Dr. Yo, for everything. I do believe in recovery.
You are so welcome, Gil. Thank you for sticking with it despite how difficult it's been for you. You have incredible courage.
Great interview. Thank you so much! 😘
You're very welcome, Lubna!
He did say that if there is some sort of damage in the inner ear would lead to dizziness. So if you do have that it’s not mind/body??
As we discussed a few minutes later, damage to the inner ear heals or the brain adapts to it. When this does not happen, inner ear damage does not explain the symptoms.
I’ve been dizzy for 10 years with no answer I feel dizzy daily like Iam gonna pass out. I’ve been told I am crazy it’s all in my head. I’ve had a lot of trauma. Today no doctor has been able to help me.its affected my life and Iam very wore out from dealing with it. I work part time because of it. I have a lot of symptoms along with it, chronic pains everywhere just disabling.
I am so sorry you are going through this, Delores. You are not alone and there is hope! Please consider taking my free course on healing. Many people have found answers to their questions within this course. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Loved this interview! I have suffered 9 years since a concussion with chronic dizziness balance and daily migraines along with a million other awful symptoms. What about things like occipital neuralgia if something is wrong that needs maybe surgery would that not help with this kind of work the placebo effect?
Hi there, I am so sorry you’ve been suffering for so long! occipital neuralgia is another one of those symptom-based or primary diagnoses that Dr. Schubiner refers to in this video. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is tissue damage that explains the symptoms.
Great interviewer, Yonit. You let Howard share his knowledge. Few interviews are packed with so much information. Thanks.
You're very welcome, Cheyenne! I am so glad that this resonated with you.
Hi I'm in South Africa I've been having dizziness for 2 months now but your videos have helped me a lot here in South Africa doctors don't really know about this condition...
I am so glad that my videos have been helping, Noluvuyo. This is very common and I hope to help spread this information to providers as well.
Thank you so much for this important interview! Next time please get Dr. Shubiner a top of the line microphone. Dr. Yonit’s microphone is very clear. Thank you so much.
I know!!! I wish the audio were clearer!
@@TheSteadyCoach next time next time but thanks again. You are bringing out information that no one else talks about! 🙏🙏
What is the cure for lightheadedness?
Hello Adesola, if the lightheadedness is also neural circuit, it responds to all the other techniques we talked about here nad on my channel.
Doctor, does your book go into examples of how you implement your expert knowledge to help people cure their constant dizziness. I'm hoping that you can describe what you observed before starting and then observed after you started along with what yoiu did (or had someone else do for you) to get them well. If you published a lot of those episodes with a successful finish, you would sell more books and increase the knowledge of those who try to implement what you have essentially taught them to do. Thanks for your help and considering my suggestion to help others learn from your knowledge.
Hi Bob, all of my recommendations and techniques are included in my free course. I go through all of these in my modules through the course. thesteadycoach.com/free-course My workbook acts as a complement to my course and may be easier for people that are experiencing difficulties with screens.
I disagree with the emotion caused my symptoms . From 2017 upto this very day with these PPPD. No medical help yet for me on Maui. I'll make it or break it.. Ooh-rah
Thank you for this very informative interview Dr. Yo. I’m aware that everyone has been warned to not discuss Covid vaccine injury but my question is if this is the cause of symptoms, can these people be healed as well.
If there is actual tissue damage from any vaccine, then it is not really a mindbody issue. However, in most cases in which people report issues after vaccines, there is no evidence of tissue damage, and in those cases, they can be treated as mindbody issues. Anecdotally- I've worked with many whose symptoms came on after illness or vaccine. None had actual tissue damage, and all got better with mindbody methods.
Amaaing. Im sharing this with my family. Best video Dr Yonit. Thanks for saving all of us. You are saving lives.
What an excellent informative and calming video. Thank you both so much ❤
Can you or the doctor recommend a good vestibular rehab therapist in the San Diego area, please. I have had Menierre's and VM vertigo for 33 years off and on. Now long term Covid MECFS so I need more support. Also covered in first time psoriasis. A lot on my plate but the dizziness is the most difficult at the moment. Excellent video. Actually all of them are. So so helpful. But I can honestly say that for Menierre's sufferers, sometimes the brain doesn't seem to compensate. The deafness, tinnitus, pressure, and vertigo are deeply disabling. Pushing through for decades has taken its toll. I would love it if someone could tell me, "You will never be dizzy again." Would be a release from this prison.
Hi Kathy, I would recommend searching the VEDA directory for a vestibular rehab therapist in your area. vestibular.org/healthcare-directory/
I went to San Diego chiropractic neurologist, and they did testing on me and corrected many of my visual, impairments and balance. Those are corrected but my dizziness continued so I am thinking I have PPPD I’m so happy. I have found these videos. Also, I go to PRN physical therapy, which is covered by my insurance, and they have some excellent therapist that know about VOR, etc. There’s also a place in Missionvalley called Occulus which is for dizziness. And there’s also the dizzy doctor. Just look him up under the busy doctor. I haven’t done the last 2 things listed, but this is all in San Diego.
I am listening to this as a patient who was a medical professional. I think we are being told we are not to castrofize the symptoms but acknowledge by Journaling, lean into emotion to get to bottom. Of it and brain will follow. I had( have) chronic pain , 35 yrs then 25 yrs of vestibular sx. Recently migraines reemerging while adding a med to help pain. This while removing what I was compensating the vertigo . Awaiting a vertigi check for 7mos while migraines coming morefrequently. One happened and in June and i say it broke my brain. Ent says its A thing .I'm like your are kidding right! My brain is irritated. I know one of the newer sensors are. My husband's son who emerged into my life after being homeless , raised his daughter w my husband and she was a difficult child. Not at first.
Life happens and we are caring for loved ones. Now I see I am pushing myself to to cope and have the best life I can have but my brain is foggy and It's not working as I would like. I have stopped doing more as since covid hit I had an amping of cardiac again. Have not had issues in 7 years. ? Guess my brain is calling the shots .
Wow I think I will find my answers with Long covid with you guys. Thanks a lot. 🙂
You are so welcome!!!
Vitamin & mineral deficiencies can also be a cause of dizziness and other symptoms. My iron deficiency has caused this for me. Emotions definitely play a part too. Great discussion, thank you!!
Thank you both so much! This was a very insightful and helpful interview. I’m getting better 😃
Amazing to hear, Karoline!!! You’ve got this!
Thank you so much Dr. Schubiner. I can’t understand every word, because I live in Germany. I hope we can soon get a German translation! 🙏
Whoa- tears. “Maybe there is an imbalance in your life!?” Tears
yes, I wanna be married and im not. My childhood wasnt too bad, parents divorce childhood sexual abuse,drugs pregnancy abortion- then I turned it all around graduated college marriage 4 boys 2 not my own..., divorce after only 15 years, now been on my own for 23.
I have been dealing with dizziness for the past 3 years. I was taking medication for anxiety and was dizzy while taking it. I quit 1year ago and got tinnitus in my right ear 4 days after I stopped taking the medication. I have had MRI'S, CT scans with and without contrast from neurologist, seen ENT and had VNG test and they say it's not my ears and they says everything is fine. I have pain in my neck and shoulders and I'm tense all the time from worrying about this. I have good day's and not so good days. The lights inside stores make the dizziness worse sometimes but I can be outside and it's fine. Is it me causing the dizziness for thinking about it all the time? I try not to but it's there. There have been times when it's not there for a few days but then it's back. Is there still hope to get rid of the dizziness? Is this all just mental?
I think this video will answer your question! th-cam.com/video/3CIB84gnJ5Q/w-d-xo.html
Same with me. Diagnosed with PPPD and Tinnitus in my left ear almost 3 years.....
..., an im suffering abandonment from my boyfriend , crime survivor I dont know really what to do next.
Wow!! What a wonderful man! I just bought his book. Thank you for interviewing him!
This also sounds like anxiety disorder where you have all kinds of symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo and the fear of those sensations causes a cascade of others and induce more fear and the believe something is structurally wrong.
Very true, there is a strong overlap between them. One reason I don't call it an anxiety disorder is that many people who have physical symptoms don't have classic symptoms of anxiety and/or don't classify themselves as anxious.
What symptoms are you dealing with pain for me yes seams this is the same
I'm eager to listen to this! Thanks, Doctor. One question: I'm in the process of getting out of my second heavy pppd spell. I'm currently on medication, I'm doing therapy, writing a journal, and basically following your advice on how I should think about the problem. I'm very into fitness, I train 6 days a week and I'd like to start doing BJJ on top of that. Once or twice a week. Since BJJ has a lot to do with grappling and choking do you think this is a bad idea? Of course, I'd go learn it from professional martial artists in a safe environment.
Hans, this is great! Do not be afraid of physical activity- you are resilient and strong. Exposure to stress in a controlled way like in martial arts will make you MORE resilient to stress. Don't be worried if symptoms temporarily increase when you are working out/working hard- this is a normal nervous system response. GO FOR IT!
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks Doctor. Your clips and your wisdom always brighten my day. Thanks for doing what you do..
god is really making a better person through all this- and I am lucky to get a roof over my head for a while since I am not married to any one right now! I appreciate you doctors "sittiing down to talk with me soo much.
It is getting better due to your incredible insights an I work also w my medications. Its just osteoperosis
you really remind me of him, cause he was a professional an very smart...
I would like to talk to you dr. Yo I’m going through something that’s 24/7 and I have questions
You can reach my office and read more about my services on my website thesteadycoach.com
Hi Sr. YO, I recently stumbled upon your channel and have listened to a few of your videos. It has been so helpful for me emotionally to hear this information and the ice cream on the cake is listening to your intervew with Dr. Schubner. As you both stated, I have practitioners, both Neurologist and ENT, who have suggested CBT, SSRI, and VRT. I have had VRT, which helped but only for a tine and has no interest i. an SSRI that will only bandaid the problem at best or cause worse side effects, no thank you! I have Vestibular Migraine so my symptoms are largely dizziness and other things versus headaches(sometimes). I also have RA. The last 2 1/2 years have been spent attending a cycle of doctor's appointments and being unsble to have much of a social life or ho to the gym becsuse of the oftentimes debilitating symptoms. Thank you and Dr. Schubner so much. This gives me hope.
However, where do I begin to find a practice like this. I live in Philadelphia, PA.
The PPD Association practitioner directory is a great resource! ppdassociation.org/
Thank you for sharing for this wonderfully informative discussion. I appreciate it very much.
You're very welcome, Josie!
Good interview. Thank you both. One question though if I have physical damage to my vestibular system can I still get better. I have an 80% vestibular loss in my right ear.
Ask Dr. Yo: can I recover from chronic dizziness (PPPD, MdDS, VM) if I have ear damage or weakness? th-cam.com/video/y6UQmNSnVFo/w-d-xo.html
Wow thank u so much for helping sometimes u feel helpless like what’s is wrong with me
have been working out my whole life ..I had a wicked session of vertigo that scared me so bad that I felt I was being 😮possessed could not control my eyes or the room from spinning 😮after that I started having panic attacks I was afraid to leave the house !!felt so scared and depressed saw 3 Ent doctors found nothing had MRI on my brain found nothing
Spinning went away🙏but now I go through that feeling u describe feeling wobbly and lighted it’s like it changed
But thanks to your channel I realized it can be controlled with my thoughts I’m learning to manage it !!! I’m learning not to fight it and what my triggers are and not get upset I will get better ❤️🩹 the mind controls the body
I’m working on it every day 🙏it is not 100% yet but what
is ?? I just keep telling my brain it’s ok I’m not in danger relax it’s ok like it’s my best friend bye instead of my worst enemy ❤thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏😘will never give up💯
❤❤❤
and Im very sad at the loss of my husband and children.
I have used the ‘Journal Speak’ program she emphasizes the need to use feeling words when expressing feelings- meaning “I feel unheard”, “I feel alone”, rather than “ I feel I like I’m alone”. Otherwise you are doing more of a narrative than expressing your feelings. Googling ‘feeling word list’ can help. It’s hard but much more helpful.
Great tip!!
A few years ago, I would get these occasional dizzy spells. Over time they got worse. Finally, one Sunday evening I had one that was so bad I had my wife take me to the hospital. Of course, they could find nothing wrong 😊and released me; suggesting I follow up with my personal physician, which I did. He had me get a couple tests, ct scan, fmri. When I went for my follow up, he said nothing was wrong with me. To his credit he didn’t suggest more tests. He just said I was okay. I haven’t had a dizziness episode since then.
It is sooo clear to me now that it was TMS, or physical anxiety or mind/body or whatever you would like to call it.
So it was anxiety induced dizziness?
thank you , its ok. I just needed somebody to talk to..
Also, how to get rid of the sensation that feels like someone injected adrenaline & cortisol in your body…which is the feeling one gets when tapering off prescribed benzodiazapines.
Regulating the nervous system comes first- if you look up vagus nerve exercises, you will find many options here on TH-cam.
What are the techniques to turn down the fear for symptoms of POTS in addition to dizziness?
Hi Robin, all of my techniques can help with both and they are in my free course thesteadycoach.com/free-course.
I was diagnosed with inner ear perpipheral damage, and pppd. What do you do if you have mild damage and pppd? How to cure this if you have mild structural damage? Is this only to help people with no damage ? 😢
This will help! And Daniel's success story is a perfect illustration th-cam.com/video/J9ia2XR-qB8/w-d-xo.html
I challenged my brain and told my brain to bring it on and boy did it I was so dizzy for 2 days omigosh so it really worked but it's very very scary so now I'm going to try telling my brain to stop it 0:56
I’m sorry you had that experience, Dorothy.
Great interview , I rely on these , it’s just still so fascinating to me that it all starts within ourselves and how powerful the brain and intricate our brains are , thank you once again for HOPE ❤️
It really is fascinating!
He didn't fight for me very hard.
who wouldnt be dizzy right now.
im a domestic violence survivor an I can see my abuser caused this fear that has never left I guess it is lodged in my nuero circuitry, thank you for showing me this, I will keep you posted.
Hi Sharon, you are in good company in this channel. What I have found is that trauma survivors are some of the strongest and most resilient people. You can do this.
37:21 what if the situation itself is going out and being with people that is making you stressed and not wanting to think about having to be at events because of the fear behind the symptoms and sensations?
My recommendation is to focus your attention on other sources of stress that are not directly related to symptoms, and to address the fear and avoidance in the ways i talk about in my course.
How does one check for structural damage related to dizziness?
Workup with ENT and/or neurologist and vestibular testing. Sometimes includes imaging and various lab tests, hearing tests and specific tests to check the function of the eyes and inner ear.
@hubermanlab should do a podcast with this professor.
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Dr. Huberman should totally interview him!
its lodged in my hipjoints an havent been able to stand to my feet since the start of covid
I'm so sorry this has happened to you.
Excellent interview
How do you know if your dizziness is primary or not?
When there is no medical reason for the symptoms to be there- aka tissue damage is not there OR there was tissue damage but the brain has not adapted.
Also symptom based diagnoses like post Covid syndrome or PPPD are primary diagnosis, aka the symptoms themselves are the diagnosis, this means they are mindbody issues.
Sometime my dizziness would cause me to past out for a few seconds, and other times the dizziness would occur but won’t be unconscious. I do notice that my left ears do drains a lot and scratched a lot as well; where I would put one of my finger in the middle and rub it very hard for a few second.
I would like to ask him if taking a Benzodiazepine would help or hurt the creation of the new neural pathways to heal from PPPD. These medicines relax you (can take away the fear of the dizziness) but I’ve also heard they are not good for neuroplasticity. I sometimes take a very small dose when I’m super anxious but also started healing from PPPD with all the tips on this channel so I wouldn’t want to jeopardize or slow down the process of retraining the brain.
Hi Alan, I hear the anxiety in this question and I want to reassure you that taking a small dose every now and then is not going to cause an issue with your recovery. I would like you to view it as an act of self compassion when you need it.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you you’re the best😊
Great interview! Feeling better as I watched this!
Fantastic!
Is Fear an emotion that can cause these PPD symptoms
Yes, but not just fear of the symptoms. It can also be fear from long ago, from difficult past experiences, and it's usually not just fear but also shame and other painful emotions.
Hi so did I hear this right...when alone verbally say out loud the things that are bothering you like you're telling the person who hurt you you're angry at them?
Or do you do it in your imagination and the steps are feeling anger, then guilt, then sadness then compassion Dr Yo?
Im a 20 yr on and off MdDS sufferer so I obviously need to clear my demon's 💀 to get on top of this.
You can do either one, Janine, or you can write them down if you wish. I think you have the workbook coming and it walks you through this in a slightly different way! But ultimately- feeling anger, asking guilt to step aside, and then leaning into any sadness or compassion you feel after the anger is out.
@@TheSteadyCoach I do! Hopefully in a few weeks I'm looking forward to it,thank you for reply I understand now and will get to it immediately
Thank you so much Dr. Yo. Such an amazing individual who has helped so many people as have you!
Thank you, Moreen. It was an incredible privilege to interview him.
I have a maningioma tumor that my brain stem goes around. It causes me vestibular issues, I have had stambismus surgery on both of my eyes and it corrected my vision but I still have dizziness and am in a wheelchair bcs when I try to walk I'm a fall risk . My tumor is inoperable and has been arrested with radiation, my guestion can this be helped with these exercises or is this my new normal?
Hi Kimberly, it’s hard to answer that- all conditions are biopsychosocial but some have more of a biological contribution than others. This would be a good question to ask your doctor: “do you think my dizziness symptoms are fully explained by my tumor?” And “would vestibular rehabilitation improve my symptoms and/or functioning?”
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much!! I will do exactly that!!!
thanks Howard!!!
I now am trapped in this year lease in the neighborhood where all this bad stuff happened to me.
That sounds like an incredible challenge. But that does not mean you can't work on this.
@@TheSteadyCoach thanks
I’m now feeling a little better
Thanks so much both! The dream team ❤🇬🇧
It was so great to get him on record saying, "And dizziness, too!"
Hi Dr. I don’t know how to say thank you for this great interview. I have one question, is it normal with pppd to feel tingling in my legs ? I’ve been diagnosed with VM and pppd
It can happen, has sometimes happened to me, on different body parts.
But not any more, was more in the beginning when I got pppd.
Yes definitely can happen, as Arvid said!
Love this interview!!!! Thank you both so much!!!!!
You're very welcome, Ingrid!
Please where do I start?
My first recommendation on where to start is to take my free course on healing chronic dizziness. My techniques and recommendations are condensed in this course and it is completely free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
va urmaresc din Romania si imi dau seama ca nici un medic la care am fost in decursul celor 20 de ani de boala nu a stiut sa imi spuna ce am.=, deci am o ameteala cronica. uneori am luni intregi in care nu pot sa ies din casa, am fost la foarte multi medici de specialitate reuma, ORL, neuro si toate medicamentele pe care le-am luat nu au dat rezultate. din aceasta cauza am ajuns sa am probleme de anxietate dar problema ametelilor nu s-a rezolvat, pur si simplu nu mai am nici o speranta si sunt f, speriata
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. You are not alone. Please consider taking the course- it is completely free and you can translate it to Romanian using the Google Translate plugin (there are instructions at the beginning of the course). thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Îmi pare atât de rău că te confrunți cu asta. Nu eşti singur. Vă rugăm să luați în considerare cursul - este complet gratuit și îl puteți traduce în limba română folosind pluginul Google Translate (există instrucțiuni la începutul cursului). thesteadycoach.com/free-course

Wow I am so blessed I have found this video on youtube. You guys are saviors. God bless you. Now I know how powerful our mind is. 😍😍😍
When there is no tissue damage, there is no reason why you should have symptoms forever.
@@TheSteadyCoach Yes I understand this now. Thanks a lot. I will come out of this one day🙏🙏🙏😊
How are you?
@@Itchytooth.I am feeling better now. My symptoms are gone 😊
How do you apply this to depression
Depression is a brain strategy too. Dr Schubiner actually has a book outlining this- Unlearn Your Anxiety and Depression
@@TheSteadyCoach I know I have the book. Do I ignore it/ not give into crying? I’m not like this always and don’t know if it came back strong because I’m ignoring the anxiety part
In vogue. 🧐
Yes, diagnostic labels for various symptoms come and go. 20 years ago, these symptom complexes had different names.
@@TheSteadyCoach So are you saying the symptom complex are the same but the nomenclature changed?
Thank you for time and this really interesting and informative interview! But how can you recover from a physically damaged inner ear such as I have from Labyrinthitis which has now become and diagnosed as Vestibular Migraine. I contracted Labyrinthitis I believe after I lost my Mum and brother on the same day two years apart. I also had a really difficult childhood and lots of trauma in my life which I do believe has cause me to become an anxious person getting worse with post menopause.
