This is the most important lesson to get rid of TMS pain and symptoms. Gotta FEEL those undesirable, uncomfortable emotions and PROVE TO YOUR BRAIN/MIND that IT’S OKAY. THAT YOU ARE SAFE! Thank you Dan for reminding us.
A week ago I decided i was going to wake in the morning and connect with my emotions in hope that I would have just one pain free day. I felt myself waking up and while I was in a relaxed dazed state, I began to remember old sad memories to the point where I could actual feel the sadness. I stayed with the sadness for 30 seconds or so and thought to myself " OK I feel you , you don't seem to be moving on, so I guess its time for me to get of bed". I kid you not guys, the second I sat up in bed I physically felt those sad emotions rush down my body , straight into my lower back and translate itself into the actual pain I've been dealing with !!!. I was very disheartened that this practice had actually put me in so much pain this early in the day . However it did something so much more important for me, it absolutely with out a doubt proved to me that my pain was emotional pain translated into physical pain !. And it was pretty fascinating and cool how it was able to start as images then feelings then catch the elevator straight to my back. I actually manifested it my self. This experience was the turning point for me. Its been 2 weeks since discovering Dan and tms, I'm doing much better.
Good stuff Chris. Yes, when we connect the dots like this, it's so much easier to lose the fear because we can see clearly that it is emotions. No need to be afraid. Feel emotions, soothe yourself, be indifferent to the pain. Live your life. that's the recipe.
I have felt this before too--what changed for you, moving forward from that negative experience to doing better now? Was it just staying with the sadness as long as you needed to vs as long as you wanted to?
@@PainFreeYou Hi there, do you have an e-mail address so I can ask a specific personal question related to this topic? I promise it will just be one e-mail because I already see a trauma therapist but am still in spite of that, really struggling in this area where the emotion is perpetually stuck inside. The grief. It doesn't leave no matter how much I let myself feel it.
Good advice. Keep it up. I’m a 60 year old male and I seem to resonate better hearing this sort of advice from a male perspective. Father committed suicide and died in front of me when I was 17. I did the opposite of what you describe for decades and paid the price in anxiety, depression, career, lost relationships and other ways. Wish I had heard someone like you 43 years ago!! Thank you.
I honestly forgot my father used to be abusive and angry until you said the word dad! I have alot of ptsd and am a recovering addict who is trying to deal with my repressed memories and experiences. I am so glad I found this video.
Thank you so much for emphasizing that emotions are a private affair that we have every right to feel--that we don't have to act on them immediately or all the time. And thank you for the reassurance that we don't have to flip our lives upside down in some dramatic fashion to honour our feelings. Part of what was stressing me out was the thought that if I felt everything, I'd have to act on everything and make huge changes across the board in order to stay in integrity with myself. It's good to remember that I'm only human and I can take my time implementing so that I'm not overwhelmed. I can even take my time feeling, as long as I'm not running away and stuffing down my emotions.
Emotions are a normal part of life and not something we need to stop or avoid at all costs. Feel them so they can pass. We don't have to lock them up or share them vigorously with those around us.
Thank you for this. I have been trying to feel my emotions but until I watched this video I was trying to figure them out mentally; justify and rationalise them. But after watching this and spending some time being aware of my sensations; I feel a deep hollowness in my chest. And I realise that I am sad, really sad. This is a breakthrough for me.
I am grateful to hear a man describe this topic and process. I am a mother of three adults. My youngest son has had strange gut issues and now back pain issues. Colonoscopy and MRI both say there is no pathology. I have to wonder if those issues are due to repressed emotions. As his big sister says, "X is so nice all the time it's no wonder he's sick! He never gets angry with anyone no matter what they do!" I'll share this video with him as well as a Dr. John Sarno video and one from The Crappy Childhood Fairy about her Daily Practice. I am grateful for each of you!
"It's ok, Dan, you're safe...but use your name. Not mine." I was listening so intently to you, and didn't even realize it until you said that. Burst out laughing, and tried not to wake up the family....yikes! :) These are excellent tips. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I appreciate the comprehensive help over a wide range of topics. It's a little overwhelming at first...these videos help make things more understandable. I find that I am able to digest so much information much better in smaller bites. Excellent resource.
Thanks for taking the time to give me your feedback on this and my other videos too. Thrilled that I'm able to provide some help to others that I wish I had 20 years ago when I was deep into my journey with chronic back pain.
God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins(John 3:16). It may be hard for you to believe, but He actually came for us! If you ever feel down or sad and feel like none of your teachings are working, please pray to God: The God of Abraham, The God of Issac, and The God of Jacob. I am sure He will fill you with His peace and give you all you need!
Hi Dan, it is Inge from Holland. Recently did the paint test. Scored 50. I am trying to feel for about 2 weeks now. It is hard. Your film of today abortus feeling your emotions really helped me. Feeling safe. Not thinking. I started feeling warm, Hot lava inside, mu stomach had a stone Ball. All of a sudder I started stamping my feet and pushing, boxing with my arms. Go away, all you People who told me I am not good enough, ding things wrong, never answered back to them. My stomach is softer now, feeling tired, tears, enige for now. Listened again to this video, really clear,. Thank you so much. Inge Kotterman
I've just discovered the TMS concept recently, having read a couple of John Sarno's books. Your video has been so insightful, particularly in clarifying the difference between 'feeling' and 'expressing' your emotions. I have had a very painful realisation today, triggered by a certain person - and my first thought was that I should 'have it out' with him - not something I was looking forward to doing. Your explanation has made me realise I don't need to do that, but more to acknowlege the presence of the feelings to myself. Thank you. I look forward to watching more of your vidoes.
Dan I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel today, what a difference it made me feel listening to you! I feel my self again, no pain today, no depression, or fear or the feeling of being broken, I finally felt myself again after many weeks of discomfort. I actually went cycling which I’ve been fearful to do. I knew my two choices were the Sarno principles (again after a successful recovery from back pain 10 years ago) or PT and stretches which I’ve been doing without much improvement. I will listen to your coaching everyday and go back to my excersizing on a daily basis, maybe no cycle racing yet, lol When this pain came on suddenly 8 months ago I started re reading the Sarno books, but your youtube coaching is much better and realy hits the ball home imo, I know I will have some tough days ahead but tms is the only thing that makes sense and now I have your coaching as a great tool. Thanks again !
Wonderful David. Watch my playlist to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and what to do about it. th-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
I have just discovered your channel. This is my first video. As someone who had been suffering with fibromyalgia I am going to try this. I know I have decades of suppressed emotions inside from a childhood of emotional abuse. I am subscribing !!!
Welcome Ariana. This one video encapsulates the core concepts I teach over and over. th-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/w-d-xo.html If you are unsure what TMS is or how the mind can create symptoms labeled as Fibro, watch this video at: PainFreeYou.com Lastly, if you want to determine if your symptoms are TMS / Mindbody created, take the pain test at: DanBuglio.com/paintest
This is truly an OUTSTANDING video Dan and I do not say so lightly. I have been through therapy and one of the best counsellors was a group counsellor who repeatedly tried to tell me this: "Feel your emotions. Say to yourself - I know what I know and I feel what I feel." He said further to distinguish between mental states and emotions when he asked how I was feeling and I said I was confused. He said "Confusion is a mental state. Emotions are not mental states. Joy, excitement, sadness, rage, anger, irritation, anxiety, fear - those are emotions. Don't think about what you're feeling. Feel it. Let yourself feel what you're feeling." Its been many years and I haven't learned from his advice so I'm glad I got the same lesson from you! Very helpful! Please continue making these videos and continue to be open and frank like this. Its a rare delight to find people who have the courage to be honest, open and real.
I've had 4 years of constant bizzare anxiety and pain symptoms all unexplained. My worst is 24/7 blurred vision which came out of nowhere. Even though I suffer daily I feel hope listening to you and I feel stronger already and have hope that my pain and vision will return to normal one day so thankyou
I am so grateful to you Dan! Keep it up please! I could listen to you for hours on end. I started doing this approach about six months ago but would end up stopping. I seriously started back on it only about 5 weeks ago. I see now some things I wasn’t comprehending before, but I am now, thanks to your easy explanations on it all. It seems everywhere I went, trying to get help with this TMS stuff, was costing me money that I don’t have. You are easy on the pocketbook, and may I add, not so bad on the eyes either! Lol. God bless you!
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to keep going with the daily videos. At some point I will have a full online course and membership support area to give people additional help if they wish. But the daily videos will continue for the foreseeable future.
I agree, Lorie, on the financial expense for therapy, doctors, etc. I know this is an old comment from 4yrs ago, but I just discovered Dan a couple weeks ago (2024:). I’ve been spending $500-$700/mo with a trauma-informed therapist, EMDR, neurofeedback. As much as she has helped me, we can’t sustain that expense. Just decided yesterday to quit the therapy and go full time pursuing TMS concepts & mindset. Even if I join Dan’s PFY group coaching, $100/mo is a STEAL! ☺️
listened to this twice. makes so much sense! At 67, stuff has happened --sad about angry about, etc. Can't change the past. But do need to acknowledge the hurt.
I feel like I need to listen to this every single day, maybe multiple times a day, lol- to fully let it absorb into my subconscious so doing this just happens naturally! Very good advice. Thank you 💕
Thank you so very much for this, Dan! I finally get it....Give myself permission to feel the emotions....In my 61 years I had become a master at suppressing my emotions learned in early childhood. It's so automatic I don't know i'm doing it. Great insight, thank you again!
And I honestly feel - I'm very spriritual and deep into meditation and inner healing, but since finding you and Dr. Sarno and really going into my feelings and giving them space, acceptance, my presence and awareness - that every time I feel my feelings it's like they configurate something small within me. That they rearrange my setting equipment in some small way to better be able to handle the situation and not just be stuck and feel helpless and hopeless. They truly are messages and friends helping me evolve. So yes you have to go through the emotions to get the updated software 😉 Even though it can feel overwhelming and scary some times. Life is just so fascinating. Grateful for your work.
This is about the 15th video I've watched tonight, trying to let myself cry over recent trauma that I know I haven't let myself feel enough. This is the first one that sort of worked. The part about not "thinking through it" really shifted something for me. Thank you for being a stepping stone on this path for me.
Sarno said that feeling the emotion isn't as important as knowing it's the cause. He made the analogy of a covert operation who's cover is blown. I tell my brain that I know what it's doing and I'm not gonna fall for this. I fight my brain tooth and nail. I still have my bouts with back pain, but thanks to Dr. Sarno, they are no longer lengthy and debilitating.
I’m in the middle of Dr Johns book. It’s been a revelation. I don’t really suffer with much backpain, but I have pain in various parts of my body, and I’m going to apply what I’m learning to deal with my emotional pain throughout my body. It’s a whole new way, of looking at yourself, looking at your pain and looking at your emotions. If I can address Repressed emotions, that will be a major thing for me. I found Your video thought-provoking, and I will continue to apply myself in this new way. Thank you.😊
That was so weird. I yawned when I started trying to feel my emotions before you even said you might yawn or get tired as a defense mechanism. The mind is so powerful.
Dan, thanks for the insight from a guy that was down a lot longer than me. I’ve been basically in bed in groin and hip pain for almost 3 years and I thought I was bad. I just realized I’m dealing with TMS lately after an aquaintance told me to look into TMS. This after lots of doctors and imaging that showed nothing. Your manner is soothing and is helping me so far. Thanks much
Very cool. Glad you found the videos. If you understand TMS and accept that your pain is from TMS - then there are really two things left to do. Feel your emotions and get your mindset right. Here's a review of TMS processes: th-cam.com/video/o0DS7K0IKOs/w-d-xo.html And here are two videos specifically about mindset. This should hit the main points: th-cam.com/video/qQmVrpAeV2g/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/4QEMruh9K50/w-d-xo.html Dig in. You are on the right track and can get better much faster than you realize.
@@larryc1964 Hi Larry, sorry to hear your pain is this bad. My wife suffers TMS (still a long way to go), but she ended up in a wheelchair for a few months as the pain was too much to walk. Scans, doctors etc found nothing. She then started believing that the pain was emotional (after reading a Dr Sarno book and learning about tms) and forced herself to walk. A few steps at first and gradually got walking again. However, the pain is now everywhere else in the body. Still functioning though. I highly recommend reading Dr Sarno books, or Steve Ozanich and even Nicole Sachs on TH-cam. You need to believe 100% that there is nothing wrong with your body. You may need psychotherapy, especially if there is an unresolved sub-conscious emotional issue. A lot of childhood trauma can affect you later in life. Good luck to you.
Hey Dan. I get so confused my the complexity of this process. I lack an imagination which make it difficult to pretend or fake my feelings. Today I took your advice and start to resume activities that I haven’t done in over a year, wash the car. Wow, I was so dizzy. I took a two mile walk, which I do every day but trying to fake or pretend the spinning wasn’t happening failed. It just fed my anxiety. I feel unqualified to fix my issues. It’s easy for me to understand the will to live issues many people have. My anxiety will be my undoing. It’s so powerful.
I have never encouraged anyone to fake emotions or make believe symptoms are not there. This video is over 4 years old. For an update on my concepts, watch my fast start playlist. DansfastStart.com - watch, take notes, implement, repeat until well. That's the roadmap.
Thank you Dan for showing so much compassion for all of us.❤️ Just listening to this video, allows me to access my emotions. "Make friends with your emotions". and the idea of "giving a hug" to our emotions is so so great!. I have the "you're tired take a nap" brain thing, and now each time it happens, I sit with myself for some time, and I ask myself "what do I feel", and whatever comes up I say "welcome to you". It does not always appear as an emotion, but often as a sensation in my belly, and I stay with it as much as needed. I do this everyday, not resisting what is happening. And not taking a nap, is like a big victory for me. Bless you.
@amiradanceer3846, I got this idea of making friends with your emotions from a Buddhist teacher too. Apparently, this is a standard concept in Buddhist thinking i.e. to actively WELCOME all thoughts and emotions that come to you without judgment. An example is suppose you feel a sudden craving to have your favorite ice cream while you're on a diet. Instead of judging it as a bad emotion that you must resist, welcome it by recognizing it. Say "Ah, I want salt-caramel ice cream because I love the way it feels in my mouth! I am salivating already. I love the milky texture, the contrast of salt and sweet taste, the cool and buttery feeling it brings. Thanks tasting mind for reminding me!". Notice this doesn't mean you run out and get ice cream but simply acknowledge the presence of the sensation and how it makes you feel. You're already half way there to not let your emotions dominate you!
I'm sorry you are struggling. If you haven't yet spent time on my getting started page, please do. It walks you through what causes pain, how to see if these concepts apply to you and a path forward. www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Thanks for this and please carry on doing videos. Doing the work on my TMS I sense more and more the body= emotion response to my subconscious. I am so used to stepping over stuff in order to survive. Welcoming all the emotions I smothered as a kid as guests is a great suggestion.
Dan, thankyou, the word "humble" means, having or showing a low estimate of ones own importance. Not so...... Honoured is more like it Dan, you're good at these explanations, demistifying both Dr.Sarno and Dr.Schubiner, and a host of other concepts. Thanx again.
I have found this method alot helpful i was having pain yesterday and within couple of minutes i was relieved when i felt and acknowledged that feeling of sadness and i start crying i am really grateful to you cheers
i agree. when there is pain identifying the emotion that is stuck in the body gives a sense of relief. its like the pain is satisfied with my effort and it can relax a bit.
This was an extremely useful video Dan. I was not told about the difference between feeling your emotions and expressing your emotions so now this makes so much sense. I thought they were the same thing so I just didn't get how you could do that on a daily basis. I am going to make a point of checking in with myself and trying to see what's going on for me with my emotions moving forward. Thanks again Dan for putting together another HUGE piece of the TMS jigsaw puzzle!
Thank you. Have read Sarno’s books and just finished The Great Pain Deception today. Then found this video. Back pain and calf keeps going numb.This was very helpful. Will also watch the videos you recommended below.
OMG😊. I had just watched your other video yesterday about pain and emotions. And I meant to ask you how do you feel your emotions and then this morning I woke up and here was your video. Ha ha Thank you thank you thank you you’re such a down to earth Teacher and I’m going to practice feeling my emotions. I’m one of those people that look up to think about it. I thought I was feeling all the feels before but obviously not since I do have a lot of pain. It makes it more challenging to do my work as a body worker. Thank you, thank you, Dan! 🙌🏻✨😮🙏🏻
Thank you very much for this explanation. I think I have always put my emotions in the cellar. Thank you for this. I do understand better now that I must allow them in my house Love you Dan. Janneke from Netherland
I do this type of work with Jake White who does somatic experiencing but more like the Peter Levine healing ❤ trauma work - it’s so helpful to pause and feel our emotions when they come up throughout the day
Dan, this information is incredibly valuable and useful to me. I have meditation for at least 2 years now and some of the practices touch upon this. My issue is pelvic pain and I have learned that if someone or something is the trigger for my symptoms I get physically away from the person or thing. I will actually tell the person, doesn't matter who it is why I am separating myself from them for the time being. If it's one of my dogs I put him in another apartment where my partner's office is until I feel better. I also ordered one of Dr. Sarno's books and look forward to reading it and listening to all of your videos. God bless you.
Hi Dan I'm new to your channel but ive long suffered with nocturia. I followed along in your video and i went from stomache turning tight pelvic muscles and fatigued to back to a state of calm. It's high time I practice this more. Thank you for the video!
Wonderful! Feel free to check out my fast start playlist for a deep dive on how things work and more importantly, what to do about it. th-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
So relieved to hear you again- so important to acknowledge the anger snd powerless feeling- once I did/ was able to notice what causing real pain besides mind body stuff- in touch snd feel grateful! Keep posting!
Thank you so much Dan, I'm probably going to listen to all of your videos. I just discovered u yesterday and u already helped me alot I'd say. Thank you again.
There's an awful lot of videos. If you want the fast track, I have an online course that puts all my recommendations into a 15 video course that comes bundled with weekly group coaching and support calls. PainFreeYou.com/join for details.
I've been secluded in my house for 31 months releasing my extreme emotions. Thank god for my parents. Emotions don't stop comming out from me. I reccomend you start now if you wanna live life to the fullest.
Have you determined the cause of your symptoms? If you'd like to understand my take on how pain or chronic symptoms start and become chronic, watch the video at PainFreeYou.com and then download the free self assessment to see if your situation falls in line with this mindbody / stress illness reason for symptoms.
Months ago I was doing Silva's Mind Control for a childhood PTSD. I was counting down slowly from 100 to 0. I couldn't believe how relaxed I'd get. I've been a knot of tension most of my life. One day the countdown felt so good I speed-walked for over 1 1/2 hr and even felt good the next day. As I counted I would also cry, shake my hands, even laugh. But 3 days later after counting I got up and fell against the wall. I wondered if I had a stroke because I was RELAXED from my head to my waist. I was shocked and confused. When I closed my eyes I saw a horror show of images beyond my control and ended up in the psych ward for 2 days. 2 months later, I found Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription" I had lost years ago and began to address all that tension that has been freeloading on my psyche. By the time I got through the introduction I wondered would I need to read more. Good Luck to All with this. BTW, YT has many amygdala relaxing audios that seem to address unconscious fears.
Thank you. In Buddhism we are encouraged to 'have tea with Mara' - Mara being delusion, anger and greed, to not fight but accept this visitor and be curious about what message is there, what the belief is etc 🙏
Wonderful :) Christianity teaches that we don't only need to forgive ourselves, but we need to be forgiven by God as well. I know Guatama Buddha ignored the Gods, but do you feel the same? What do you think about heaven, do you think humans build heaven?
As a child I was not allowed to have my emotions that required parents to spend time with me to hug and soothe but they were always there to yell and hit. It's rough and always begins with the guts, I feel sick then all these old memories come up. You are correct that I have tried to think my way out, not feel and that makes the body feel worse.
Great video and makes such sense. I’ve been struggling to ‘feel’ what’s going on in my body and you have just made the ‘How to’ so clear. I feel like there has been a breakthrough and I’ve been able to get in touch with some painful memories and been able to feel the emotions connected to them.
I could only listen to the first ten minutes because my mind activates a very strong resistance. There is also a huge internal conflict between the very high desire to feel my emotions and the very high fear to feel them. So the best I could do this time was concentrating ten minutes upon your communication. I appreciate your explanations and the fact you are encouraging because it is something very hard for me, to connect to my emotions. I realized that for decades a super strong mechanism has been created in my mind in order to repress the presumed painful emotions, well even the not really painful ones too, and to distanciate myself from them - I mean, little by little through years and decades, to feel less and less emotions - that is to say to build a very thick"carapace" (is it the same word in English?), well the thick mobile home that the turtle wears all the time.
Despite what this 4 yr old video says - feeling emotions is only ONE part of recovery. Since perceived danger creates symptoms, teaching the brain we are safe is the solution. My fast start playlist is a literal course on what's going on and what to do about it. DansFastStart.com
I want to start this process but feel like I already am in my emotions a lot. I listen to angry music and rock out and listen to sad music and feel sad. I’ve done this for years so it doesn’t seem to be helping. I learned from you that we shouldn’t go back to specific stories in our past for emotion pondering but should feel the emotion itself so back to my music question I am kind of confused how to go about this. Thank you.
This is the most important lesson to get rid of TMS pain and symptoms. Gotta FEEL those undesirable, uncomfortable emotions and PROVE TO YOUR BRAIN/MIND that IT’S OKAY. THAT YOU ARE SAFE! Thank you Dan for reminding us.
Absolutely.

Listened again to this video, really clear,. Thank you so much. Inge Kotterman
You are very welcome. I'm thrilled my videos are providing you help.
I've just discovered the TMS concept recently, having read a couple of John Sarno's books. Your video has been so insightful, particularly in clarifying the difference between 'feeling' and 'expressing' your emotions. I have had a very painful realisation today, triggered by a certain person - and my first thought was that I should 'have it out' with him - not something I was looking forward to doing. Your explanation has made me realise I don't need to do that, but more to acknowlege the presence of the feelings to myself. Thank you. I look forward to watching more of your vidoes.
Awesome - really glad you found my videos. I have a facebook group too called Pain Free You. Come join our community!
Will do..thank you!
I suddenly get it. Really good explanation, thanks
Dan I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel today, what a difference it made me feel listening to you! I feel my self again, no pain today, no depression, or fear or the feeling of being broken, I finally felt myself again after many weeks of discomfort. I actually went cycling which I’ve been fearful to do. I knew my two choices were the Sarno principles (again after a successful recovery from back pain 10 years ago) or PT and stretches which I’ve been doing without much improvement.
I will listen to your coaching everyday and go back to my excersizing on a daily basis, maybe no cycle racing yet, lol
When this pain came on suddenly 8 months ago I started re reading the Sarno books, but your youtube coaching is much better and realy hits the ball home imo, I know I will have some tough days ahead but tms is the only thing that makes sense and now I have your coaching as a great tool.
Thanks again !
Wonderful David. Watch my playlist to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and what to do about it. th-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
I have just discovered your channel. This is my first video. As someone who had been suffering with fibromyalgia I am going to try this. I know I have decades of suppressed emotions inside from a childhood of emotional abuse. I am subscribing !!!
Welcome Ariana. This one video encapsulates the core concepts I teach over and over.
th-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/w-d-xo.html
If you are unsure what TMS is or how the mind can create symptoms labeled as Fibro, watch this video at: PainFreeYou.com
Lastly, if you want to determine if your symptoms are TMS / Mindbody created, take the pain test at: DanBuglio.com/paintest
This is truly an OUTSTANDING video Dan and I do not say so lightly. I have been through therapy and one of the best counsellors was a group counsellor who repeatedly tried to tell me this: "Feel your emotions. Say to yourself - I know what I know and I feel what I feel." He said further to distinguish between mental states and emotions when he asked how I was feeling and I said I was confused. He said "Confusion is a mental state. Emotions are not mental states. Joy, excitement, sadness, rage, anger, irritation, anxiety, fear - those are emotions. Don't think about what you're feeling. Feel it. Let yourself feel what you're feeling."
Its been many years and I haven't learned from his advice so I'm glad I got the same lesson from you! Very helpful! Please continue making these videos and continue to be open and frank like this. Its a rare delight to find people who have the courage to be honest, open and real.
Thank you Michael. I post a new video every single day. DansTH-cam.com
I've had 4 years of constant bizzare anxiety and pain symptoms all unexplained. My worst is 24/7 blurred vision which came out of nowhere. Even though I suffer daily I feel hope listening to you and I feel stronger already and have hope that my pain and vision will return to normal one day so thankyou
try taking zinc or a food supplement with algae oil, which contains dha. at the same time, avoid gluten from wheat, spelt, barley, rye, etc.
I am so grateful to you Dan! Keep it up please! I could listen to you for hours on end. I started doing this approach about six months ago but would end up stopping. I seriously started back on it only about 5 weeks ago. I see now some things I wasn’t comprehending before, but I am now, thanks to your easy explanations on it all. It seems everywhere I went, trying to get help with this TMS stuff, was costing me money that I don’t have. You are easy on the pocketbook, and may I add, not so bad on the eyes either! Lol. God bless you!
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to keep going with the daily videos. At some point I will have a full online course and membership support area to give people additional help if they wish. But the daily videos will continue for the foreseeable future.
I agree, Lorie, on the financial expense for therapy, doctors, etc. I know this is an old comment from 4yrs ago, but I just discovered Dan a couple weeks ago (2024:). I’ve been spending $500-$700/mo with a trauma-informed therapist, EMDR, neurofeedback. As much as she has helped me, we can’t sustain that expense. Just decided yesterday to quit the therapy and go full time pursuing TMS concepts & mindset. Even if I join Dan’s PFY group coaching, $100/mo is a STEAL! ☺️
listened to this twice. makes so much sense! At 67, stuff has happened --sad about angry about, etc. Can't change the past. But do need to acknowledge the hurt.
Feeling emotions is just one part of the equation. My full set of suggestions are in this video: th-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/w-d-xo.html
Dan is my hero ❤ he has got me through some of my worse days
Thrilled to be able to help.
I feel like I need to listen to this every single day, maybe multiple times a day, lol- to fully let it absorb into my subconscious so doing this just happens naturally! Very good advice. Thank you 💕
Wonderful!
Check out my fast start playlist too: DansFastStart.com
Thank you so very much for this, Dan! I finally get it....Give myself permission to feel the emotions....In my 61 years I had become a master at suppressing my emotions learned in early childhood. It's so automatic I don't know i'm doing it. Great insight, thank you again!
You are very welcome!
Your explanation about feeling your emotions is the first time this has made sense to me. Thank you.
Awesome.
I don’t know if you see posts to videos this old. This seems like the most important information about TMS resolution. Thank you for this material.
You are welcome!
I felt tearful ... its great that its this simple.
And I honestly feel - I'm very spriritual and deep into meditation and inner healing, but since finding you and Dr. Sarno and really going into my feelings and giving them space, acceptance, my presence and awareness - that every time I feel my feelings it's like they configurate something small within me. That they rearrange my setting equipment in some small way to better be able to handle the situation and not just be stuck and feel helpless and hopeless. They truly are messages and friends helping me evolve. So yes you have to go through the emotions to get the updated software 😉 Even though it can feel overwhelming and scary some times. Life is just so fascinating. Grateful for your work.
This is about the 15th video I've watched tonight, trying to let myself cry over recent trauma that I know I haven't let myself feel enough. This is the first one that sort of worked. The part about not "thinking through it" really shifted something for me. Thank you for being a stepping stone on this path for me.
Really glad this is helpful for you. :-)
Sarno said that feeling the emotion isn't as important as knowing it's the cause. He made the analogy of a covert operation who's cover is blown. I tell my brain that I know what it's doing and I'm not gonna fall for this. I fight my brain tooth and nail.
I still have my bouts with back pain, but thanks to Dr. Sarno, they are no longer lengthy and debilitating.
That's awesome. Thank you for sharing this often forgotten nugget. Brilliant.
This is the best and most accessible video on feeling one's feelings, that I have seen. Thank you!!
I’m in the middle of Dr Johns book. It’s been a revelation. I don’t really suffer with much backpain, but I have pain in various parts of my body, and I’m going to apply what I’m learning to deal with my emotional pain throughout my body. It’s a whole new way, of looking at yourself, looking at your pain and looking at your emotions. If I can address Repressed emotions, that will be a major thing for me. I found Your video thought-provoking, and I will continue to apply myself in this new way. Thank you.😊
The way out is mapped out in this video:th-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/w-d-xo.html
That was so weird. I yawned when I started trying to feel my emotions before you even said you might yawn or get tired as a defense mechanism. The mind is so powerful.
That's wild!
I love listening to you Dan. You are calm, wise and explain it in simple languagge.
Thank you Susanna.
Dan, thanks for the insight from a guy that was down a lot longer than me. I’ve been basically in bed in groin and hip pain for almost 3 years and I thought I was bad. I just realized I’m dealing with TMS lately after an aquaintance told me to look into TMS. This after lots of doctors and imaging that showed nothing.
Your manner is soothing and is helping me so far. Thanks much
Very cool. Glad you found the videos. If you understand TMS and accept that your pain is from TMS - then there are really two things left to do. Feel your emotions and get your mindset right.
Here's a review of TMS processes:
th-cam.com/video/o0DS7K0IKOs/w-d-xo.html
And here are two videos specifically about mindset. This should hit the main points:
th-cam.com/video/qQmVrpAeV2g/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/4QEMruh9K50/w-d-xo.html
Dig in. You are on the right track and can get better much faster than you realize.
How are you now ?
Wild Wave ha , I’m actually still disabled.
@@larryc1964 Hi Larry, sorry to hear your pain is this bad. My wife suffers TMS (still a long way to go), but she ended up in a wheelchair for a few months as the pain was too much to walk. Scans, doctors etc found nothing. She then started believing that the pain was emotional (after reading a Dr Sarno book and learning about tms) and forced herself to walk. A few steps at first and gradually got walking again. However, the pain is now everywhere else in the body. Still functioning though.
I highly recommend reading Dr Sarno books, or Steve Ozanich and even Nicole Sachs on TH-cam. You need to believe 100% that there is nothing wrong with your body. You may need psychotherapy, especially if there is an unresolved sub-conscious emotional issue. A lot of childhood trauma can affect you later in life. Good luck to you.
Hi Dan, this video was so helpful to me. Your explanation was brilliant. see what emotions I have been repressing now.
Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Hey Dan. I get so confused my the complexity of this process. I lack an imagination which make it difficult to pretend or fake my feelings. Today I took your advice and start to resume activities that I haven’t done in over a year, wash the car. Wow, I was so dizzy. I took a two mile walk, which I do every day but trying to fake or pretend the spinning wasn’t happening failed. It just fed my anxiety. I feel unqualified to fix my issues. It’s easy for me to understand the will to live issues many people have. My anxiety will be my undoing. It’s so powerful.
I have never encouraged anyone to fake emotions or make believe symptoms are not there. This video is over 4 years old. For an update on my concepts, watch my fast start playlist. DansfastStart.com - watch, take notes, implement, repeat until well. That's the roadmap.
Wow, you are organized. I will do what you recommend. Thanks for not giving up on us tough cases.
Thank you Dan for showing so much compassion for all of us.❤️ Just listening to this video, allows me to access my emotions. "Make friends with your emotions". and the idea of "giving a hug" to our emotions is so so great!. I have the "you're tired take a nap" brain thing, and now each time it happens, I sit with myself for some time, and I ask myself "what do I feel", and whatever comes up I say "welcome to you". It does not always appear as an emotion, but often as a sensation in my belly, and I stay with it as much as needed. I do this everyday, not resisting what is happening. And not taking a nap, is like a big victory for me. Bless you.
Thank you. Thrilled at your victories. More to come. Keep at it.
@amiradanceer3846, I got this idea of making friends with your emotions from a Buddhist teacher too. Apparently, this is a standard concept in Buddhist thinking i.e. to actively WELCOME all thoughts and emotions that come to you without judgment. An example is suppose you feel a sudden craving to have your favorite ice cream while you're on a diet. Instead of judging it as a bad emotion that you must resist, welcome it by recognizing it. Say "Ah, I want salt-caramel ice cream because I love the way it feels in my mouth! I am salivating already. I love the milky texture, the contrast of salt and sweet taste, the cool and buttery feeling it brings. Thanks tasting mind for reminding me!". Notice this doesn't mean you run out and get ice cream but simply acknowledge the presence of the sensation and how it makes you feel. You're already half way there to not let your emotions dominate you!
At the right time for me to hear this video Dan you rock 🎸 ❤️ Thanks 🙏🏽 😊
EXCELLENT!!!!
Very very helpful and easy to listen to, thank you. 🙏
Absolutely resonated! Thank you 🙏
Dan I’m so tired of this pain 7 months with this pain it’s So hard, thank you for this video
I'm sorry you are struggling. If you haven't yet spent time on my getting started page, please do. It walks you through what causes pain, how to see if these concepts apply to you and a path forward. www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Came back around to watch this one again. ❤️ Thank you for all you do!
Welcome back!
Revisiting today. Great video
Thank you this is very helpful! I needed the reminder that the emotion is detected best by feeling vs thinking!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this and please carry on doing videos. Doing the work on my TMS I sense more and more the body= emotion response to my subconscious. I am so used to stepping over stuff in order to survive. Welcoming all the emotions I smothered as a kid as guests is a great suggestion.
The plan is to keep on doing daily videos. I've been at it since March 26th. Haven't missed a day yet.
Dan, thankyou, the word "humble" means, having or showing a low estimate of ones own importance. Not so...... Honoured is more like it Dan, you're good at these explanations, demistifying both Dr.Sarno and Dr.Schubiner, and a host of other concepts. Thanx again.
Thank you very much.
I have been searching for a such content for a longtime , this is very beneficial thank you 🙏
You are welcome.
I have found this method alot helpful i was having pain yesterday and within couple of minutes i was relieved when i felt and acknowledged that feeling of sadness and i start crying i am really grateful to you cheers
Cheers!!
i agree. when there is pain identifying the emotion that is stuck in the body gives a sense of relief. its like the pain is satisfied with my effort and it can relax a bit.
thank you so much. this is the most helpful instruction of how to manage emotions that i have heard yet.
You're so welcome!
I just want to express gratitude to you for doing this. The curable app & your positivity & calm nature has really been helping me. Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
Brilliant video!
This was an extremely useful video Dan. I was not told about the difference between feeling your emotions and expressing your emotions so now this makes so much sense. I thought they were the same thing so I just didn't get how you could do that on a daily basis. I am going to make a point of checking in with myself and trying to see what's going on for me with my emotions moving forward. Thanks again Dan for putting together another HUGE piece of the TMS jigsaw puzzle!
Fantastic.
Thank you. Have read Sarno’s books and just finished The Great Pain Deception today. Then found this video. Back pain and calf keeps going numb.This was very helpful. Will also watch the videos you recommended below.
Thanks for the kind words. Take a look at all the videos. I've got hundreds. th-cam.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
BlueDog, same pain and numbness in calf. Doing the work with Dan’s videos. Taking one day at a time.
I agree.. to some of us trying to feel feelings can be quite confusing because we are so not used to just feel.
Amazing speech... nice calm voice to listen to! Well done!!
thank you so much for explaining this. I really didn’t understand how to feel my emotions until now. ♥️
Glad it was helpful!
This information is SO HELPFUL for me! I even enjoyed the tone and energy in your voice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful soothing thank you
OMG😊. I had just watched your other video yesterday about pain and emotions. And I meant to ask you how do you feel your emotions and then this morning I woke up and here was your video. Ha ha
Thank you thank you thank you you’re such a down to earth Teacher and I’m going to practice feeling my emotions. I’m one of those people that look up to think about it. I thought I was feeling all the feels before but obviously not since I do have a lot of pain. It makes it more challenging to do my work as a body worker. Thank you, thank you, Dan! 🙌🏻✨😮🙏🏻
Understand about being a body worker. You ARE in the right place.
You’re an absolute legend. Thank you for your service
Thank you very much for this explanation. I think I have always put my emotions in the cellar. Thank you for this. I do understand better now that I must allow them in my house
Love you Dan. Janneke from Netherland
You can do this. th-cam.com/video/obmILo2N8zU/w-d-xo.html
Running from my motions since I can remember. Done. Now I embrace them.👍
Allergies are bad today. Woke up plugged crying. I need to not get upset. I have bad dreams. I need to stop fearing it.
I do this type of work with Jake White who does somatic experiencing but more like the Peter Levine healing ❤ trauma work - it’s so helpful to pause and feel our emotions when they come up throughout the day
Very nice.
Just stumbled upon your video. I subscribed you have a great delivery and humanness. Can’t wait to look at your other videos. Thank you
Welcome aboard! Focus on the most recent videos to get my latest ideas and suggestions. th-cam.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
Thank you 🙏🏼
Any time!
Dan, this information is incredibly valuable and useful to me. I have meditation for at least 2 years now and some of the practices touch upon this. My issue is pelvic pain and I have learned that if someone or something is the trigger for my symptoms I get physically away from the person or thing. I will actually tell the person, doesn't matter who it is why I am separating myself from them for the time being. If it's one of my dogs I put him in another apartment where my partner's office is until I feel better. I also ordered one of Dr. Sarno's books and look forward to reading it and listening to all of your videos. God bless you.
Teaching ourselves that the people are not truly dangerous and do not need to create symptoms is the way forward.
Hi Dan I'm new to your channel but ive long suffered with nocturia. I followed along in your video and i went from stomache turning tight pelvic muscles and fatigued to back to a state of calm. It's high time I practice this more. Thank you for the video!
Wonderful! Feel free to check out my fast start playlist for a deep dive on how things work and more importantly, what to do about it.

Thanks Dan.. that’s very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
So relieved to hear you again- so important to acknowledge the anger snd powerless feeling- once I did/ was able to notice what causing real pain besides mind body stuff- in touch snd feel grateful! Keep posting!
Wonderful! Glad you found the videos helpful.
Great description of feeling emotions. Very helpful. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Dan, I'm probably going to listen to all of your videos. I just discovered u yesterday and u already helped me alot I'd say. Thank you again.
There's an awful lot of videos. If you want the fast track, I have an online course that puts all my recommendations into a 15 video course that comes bundled with weekly group coaching and support calls. PainFreeYou.com/join for details.

Thank you for this video Dan
My pleasure!
This really helped me!!! I shared it with my mom and my friend
Excellent - thank you.
I've been secluded in my house for 31 months releasing my extreme emotions. Thank god for my parents. Emotions don't stop comming out from me. I reccomend you start now if you wanna live life to the fullest.

I love this video Dan. Thank you very much. It is very difficult for me to feel emotions, this help 🍀
You are very welcome.
Very helpful as always Dan! I’m glad I checked for a video on this. I was going to ask you for one in the group.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much for all your help
Happy to help
Thank you. I've been trying to get to the bottom basics and you hit it on the nail.
Glad it helped!
I just started this process and your verbage has been so helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Months ago I was doing Silva's Mind Control for a childhood PTSD. I was counting down slowly from 100 to 0. I couldn't believe how relaxed I'd get. I've been a knot of tension most of my life. One day the countdown felt so good I speed-walked for over 1 1/2 hr and even felt good the next day. As I counted I would also cry, shake my hands, even laugh. But 3 days later after counting I got up and fell against the wall. I wondered if I had a stroke because I was RELAXED from my head to my waist. I was shocked and confused. When I closed my eyes I saw a horror show of images beyond my control and ended up in the psych ward for 2 days.
2 months later, I found Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription" I had lost years ago and began to address all that tension that has been freeloading on my psyche. By the time I got through the introduction I wondered would I need to read more. Good Luck to All with this. BTW, YT has many amygdala relaxing audios that seem to address unconscious fears.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks mate your vibes brings seeds of happiness and positivity its really helpful the way you taught how to feel emotions
My pleasure!
Very nice, thank you
Good and helpful reminder and learning from you. Hello from Norway😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you. In Buddhism we are encouraged to 'have tea with Mara' - Mara being delusion, anger and greed, to not fight but accept this visitor and be curious about what message is there, what the belief is etc 🙏
Wonderful :) Christianity teaches that we don't only need to forgive ourselves, but we need to be forgiven by God as well. I know Guatama Buddha ignored the Gods, but do you feel the same? What do you think about heaven, do you think humans build heaven?
As a child I was not allowed to have my emotions that required parents to spend time with me to hug and soothe but they were always there to yell and hit. It's rough and always begins with the guts, I feel sick then all these old memories come up. You are correct that I have tried to think my way out, not feel and that makes the body feel worse.
Great video and makes such sense. I’ve been struggling to ‘feel’ what’s going on in my body and you have just made the ‘How to’ so clear. I feel like there has been a breakthrough and I’ve been able to get in touch with some painful memories and been able to feel the emotions connected to them.
Wonderful!
This is SO me. I'll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. No more though. Thank you Dan.
If you can leave emotions unfelt for tomorrow, you are not enough in pain. Just know one day your body will not give you an alternative.
great video thank you 🌻
Yesss, this was very helpful!! In fact, I’m going to journal and feel ALL the emotions NOW!! Xo
You got this!
I could only listen to the first ten minutes because my mind activates a very strong resistance. There is also a huge internal conflict between the very high desire to feel my emotions and the very high fear to feel them. So the best I could do this time was concentrating ten minutes upon your communication. I appreciate your explanations and the fact you are encouraging because it is something very hard for me, to connect to my emotions. I realized that for decades a super strong mechanism has been created in my mind in order to repress the presumed painful emotions, well even the not really painful ones too, and to distanciate myself from them - I mean, little by little through years and decades, to feel less and less emotions - that is to say to build a very thick"carapace" (is it the same word in English?), well the thick mobile home that the turtle wears all the time.
Despite what this 4 yr old video says - feeling emotions is only ONE part of recovery. Since perceived danger creates symptoms, teaching the brain we are safe is the solution. My fast start playlist is a literal course on what's going on and what to do about it. DansFastStart.com
Great video Dan! Thank you for clarifying so much. ❤️
You are so welcome!
I want to start this process but feel like I already am in my emotions a lot. I listen to angry music and rock out and listen to sad music and feel sad. I’ve done this for years so it doesn’t seem to be helping. I learned from you that we shouldn’t go back to specific stories in our past for emotion pondering but should feel the emotion itself so back to my music question I am kind of confused how to go about this. Thank you.
love it, thank you
You're welcome. :-)
