  • It is such an honor to bring you this interview with Christie Uipi, LCSW, who is a psychotherapist and executive director of The Better Mind Center. Christie and her colleagues specialize in helping people recover from medically unexplained chronic physical symptoms including chronic dizziness, chronic pain, digestive issues, and more. Christie has a decade of experience working with people these conditions and is one of the clinicians who developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence-based and highly effective method of helping people recover from chronic pain (and other symptoms).
    In this interview, we talk about all things related to the traits and strategies associated with chronic dizziness, including perfectionism, people pleasing, putting lots of pressure on ourselves, being highly responsible and being very conscientious.
    You can learn more about Christie and The Better Mind Center on The Better Mind website at www.bettermindcenter.com

    00:00:00 Intro
    00:03:34 Christie's experience with chronic dizziness as part of mindbody syndrome
    00:08:47 If nothing before dizziness ever stopped you, that tells you something important about how you relate to yourself
    00:12:45 Christie describes her dizziness and what it's like now that she's recovered
    00:14:33 What full recovery looks like - occasional sensations are NORMAL and a useful signal
    00:18:16 It's normal not to know what stress is triggering your symptoms- due to combination of internal and external stressors
    00:21:54 What is a Type T personality and why do people with chronic dizziness have it?
    00:23:36 These represent fear-based ways of relating to ourselves and are part of the symptom-stress-fear cycle
    00:28:05 When we're not aware of the fear driving these strategies, it indicates how disconnected we are from our needs
    00:31:03 These are changeable strategies, not immutable traits, and they can feel threatening to change
    00:35:35 You are not trapped even if you have ALL the traits/strategies we talk about
    00:38:29 The common fears that drive perfectionism, being overly responsible, people pleasing
    00:40:09 How to find a way to address legitimate fears without going overboard
    00:43:23 Christie's recommendation on how to balance our fears and needs with not avoiding triggers
    00:45:05 Why self compassion helps so much with fear
    00:51:00 How self compassion might look if someone is starting to expose him or herself to triggers
    00:53:48 Christie's thoughts on how you know how much to push yourself
    00:59:00 The process of recovery is a process of changing the way we relate to ourselves
    01:00:54 Step 1: start noticing when you're engaging in these automatic strategies
    01:02:30 Step 2: pause and see if you can feel neutral toward yourself rather than pressuring yourself
    01:04:50 It's normal for the symptoms to get worse temporarily as you change these patterns
    01:07:18 Step 3: connect to your needs and feelings and show yourself compassion
    01:09:48 What about caregiving situations in which you HAVE to care for others
    01:13:00 Strong Type T traits can make caregiving situations far more stressful
    01:14:10 Thought loop? Get back in your body
    01:15:58 How important it is to be able to acknowledge and feel the full spectrum of our feelings
    01:20:10 There is no age at which validating your own emotions isn't important
    01:22:22 There can be sadness in realizing we have not been meeting our own needs
    01:24:01 Chronic symptoms can be a gateway to a better life
    01:26:07 It is ok if you need help with your recovery!!!

    I think my dizziness is just another bodily symptom that is showing up from chronic health anxiety, as I learned that from one of your other videos.
    I am trying to practice the self compassion.

    Dr. Yo, this was one of the most resonant videos for me. Everything Christie described about these coping strategies rang true-and I will now start to think of them that way, rather than baked-in personality traits. Working now on noticing, reflecting on the fact that these behaviors are self-harming, and adding in some much-needed self-compassion. I love the idea that even though this is how we've been living most of our lives (for me, four decades), it's never too late to change. Thank you, and to Christie as well! ❤

      Yes! I agree. Years ago I took a class called Family Life skills and one of the things we looked at was what they called “Life commandments”. Oh these traits jumped out and I saw them as life commandments and pieces started to come together. Thanks @the steady coach for doing these! I wanted to jump into the screen and join the conversation!

    I really appreciate you putting up this video. It definitely hit the mark for me since I do the people pleasing, perfectionism, having trouble saying no, setting boundaries etc. Knowing where that comes from... Being a coping strategy for dealing with fear really feels like it unlocks some things for me. Thank you

    At 1 hour 28 minutes when you said “that lady on the TH-cam watched a video and is 90% better - why can’t I do that?” really resonated. I find one of the real challenges is “comparing oneself” whether to others on the journey or to one’s PRIOR self or one’s expectation of what they should be like.

I am thinking of trying taking a trip-the first since having acquired NCD-and I feel the wooz coming on as I try to plan. So it was good to hear this trip scenario too! It was interesting to hear Christie's experience too with NCD. Thank you so much from the bottom and the top of my heart. I love you Dr. Yo, you're really the real deal. So grateful here for you and your guests too-

    The road to recovery is teaching me above all to BE PATIENT with myself. I certainly would not have voluntarily chosen to go through what I've been through last autumn, but since that is the case, it's becoming an opportunity for personal growth that will serve me (it is already doing so) in all aspects of my life, not just to alleviate the symptoms of vertigo. THANKS so much Dr. Yo and Christie for lighting the road and helping with the change of mindset. ❤💫

      It's so much more prevalent than people believe! There was a study in the UK I'll send you... apparently functional vestibular disorders exist on a spectrum in the entire population, and somewhere between 4-10% of the general population (NOT clinical!!!) has chronic dizziness symptoms at any given time.

  • @glenb4887

    Thanks so very much for sharing this information. I saw Dr. John Sarno about 20 years ago because I had so much back pain. I was in tears in his office (a 51-yr-old male at the time) as we talked about the relationship with my overbearing father. Over time it was revealed that I had scoliosis, so I put "the baggage" aside. Now I am dealing with vertigo, diagnosed initially as Meniere's and more recently as vestibular migraines. Thanks to you both, I am now back to journaling and talking myself through things in order to work through some of this stuff.
    Christies's comment about going through your day and noticing when you begin going into your patterns was hugely helpful. I wasn't even out of bed on day one when I started to see it! Thanks so much. ou both are doing wonderful work.

And that makes me sad. I am having a hard time to "change" my hobbys., life, i know dizzynest also bring a lot a lot of good things for me- for sure i am all if this 5 caracters of people you describe (hard on myself., people pleasing and so on...)., but still... i do miss my oldself., my sporty life., my job, my pasion for travel, my pasion for food., and other things... well that is fir me the hardest part... let go of some things and change them... because when the dizzynest kick in... i am sorry for the words- but you feel ao fucked up!...

    And oh my God. Talk about a 'light bulbs moment'! The T Type Personality = I am literally ALL of those things. Gosh, I feel so overwhelmed, inadequate and disempowered. My life partner died suddenly too (he was helping to be my caregiver during my mdds) on top of all these things, and I feel seriously suicidal now. I feel like I've lost everything & my whole world has fallen apart. I also have zero support now and nobody knows what I'm going through.

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ooooh tricky question. A purist might say not to take the medication, and I have had people stop them successfully- but only after they embrace and feel confident in mindbody methods. It’s ok to not make a final decision about this right now. I think at some point, people want to know that their mindbody methods are doing the healing and not the medication.

    Oh I resonate with Christie so much she was talking about me , her symptoms are my symptoms. I got diagnosed with Ménière’s disease around 20 years ago but Ive suffered with PPPD, brain fog, immense fatigue and chronic neck pain, TMJ and Tendonitis in wrists for past four and half years when I was 45. This is when sh*t got real with this dizziness and it effected my whole life, house bound for past four years, can’t go to shop, can’t handle noise, lights and lots of people. I’ve been to every doctor and physical therapist there is with no help , no idea how to help me, just offered SSRI’s etc. I just stumbled on your channel this week after four years of searching YT. I feel so validated and instantly felt better knowing I’m not crazy and I can fix myself. I’m diving into your content now with so much relief. I already feel my dizziness and brain fog releasing.

    if you can i think many of us would really appreciate it if you can make a somatic tracking or video along those lines specifically for when traveling by plane or train or anything because i know many have just completely let go of the idea of ever being to travel with this again and it would be very beneficial i believe to just have something to listen to and calm down and be able to enjoy life and experiences while traveling

    • @TheSteadyCoach

      Thanks for the suggestion, Mindy! I'll consider making something like this. I know that many of my clients and community members who've traveled just use somatic tracking for this purpose.

    Your channel is super!!
    I selfdiagnose me with MdDS (everything fits). Started with a rocking feeling when I walked. I think I made it so much worse myself. But feels hopeful when I Watch ur videos. Infront of a computer because it feels the worst. Unfortunately thats my workplace. Is my anxiety doing this to me?

      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, Fredrik! Sometimes it’s anxiety but sometimes not. Sometimes it happens when people don’t feel “anxious”. Visual issues can be part of this whole set of symptoms. But I always ask people first- does it happen when you’re working at a computer only OR any time you’re in a screen? Are you finding yourself tensing and clenching when you’re working? Those help me figure out if it’s work related stress that is contributing.

    @the steady coach so you two talked about the fear/symptom cycle but how do those traits/ways of relating to ourself CAUSE the symptoms to begin with? And if we had a precipitating actual physical illness (vestibular neuritis and BPPV) how did we wind up with pppd? Or pain or fibro or whatever. This is the piece I don’t really understand. Thanks

    the only symptom I haven’t heard you discuss is internal shaking/internal vibrating. Is this is common symptom that you have heard from patients? If so what disorder does that line up with?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, I hear this commonly and it doesn’t signify a specific diagnosis because any or all symptom-based diagnoses like pppd and MdDS have vague and subjective diagnostic criteria. Neural circuit dizziness originates in the nervous system and therefore you can have pretty much any symptom. As long as there is no physical or medical explanation, that’s what’s happening.

  • @AJ88874
    @AJ88874 ปีที่แล้ว

    My pppd started after having a panic attack and insomnia from worrying about a stomach illness I had at the time aka Health Anxiety. So I need to work on relaxing from Health Anxiety/Hipocondria etc and not worrying fearing the current dizziness symptoms as well. Is this correct?

    Hi Dr. Yo I have a question about the Positional P in PPPD. I do notice that when I lay down I have no symptoms and it’s only in the upright “position” My question is: Doesn’t a positional aspect make it a physical problem? I can’t connect how the positional part is Neuro circuit/mind/fear/psychogenic etc . How would you explain this. Thank you in advance

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope, brain predictions apply to positional changes. Your brain HAS to predict movement so it can properly calibrate and understand sensory info when you move. When it predicts wrong, and there’s a mismatch between what it’s expecting and what’s happening, you feel dizzy.

    you are the most authentic source of information for me. Everything on your channel is mostly about dizziness. Is possible to talk about
    long-term brain fog which after tons of medical examinations doesn't have any reason like dizziness? I mean like about ill caused by an oversensitive brain?

      I'm so sorry you're struggling too.. absolutely same here, and it definitely keeps the anxiety high, and the symptoms heightened. I find myself feeling super angry at the doctors who say, "Learn to live with it"...they have no idea what they're asking of people, and robbing from their already frightened and suffering patients, something so critical to healing a hypervigilant and frightened brain.. reassurance and hope.😞 Dr. Yo seems to be the only one who understands that support is critical for people dealing with these truly debilitating symptoms.

      Well, considering the prevalence of chronic pain disorders, I'd say that most people actually suffer from mindbody issues at some point. Some people are just unlucky enough to have particularly over-reactive nervous systems (possibly due to trauma) and also have the misfortune of having had some kind of vestibular event when they were particularly vulnerable to stress.
