Following your instructions led to repeated yawning, which I understand is a sign of parasympathetic nervous system dominance. Simple, and effective. Thank you very much!
I did feel better within a minute or two of the breathing. I will watch again and keep doing the work to get away from chronic pain and fybromyalgia. I will not let this take over my life!
Wow..needed this explained bc my messages to myself come from frustration. So they are not kind. I will practice the opposite. I know my subconscious doesn't believe me lol. Don't blame it. Will try your hax and with kindness. Huge ty🎉
Tanner, I am a public school teacher of 29 years. I just teach( lie down between classes sometimes) walk. Sleep. Come home hot shower and bed. Today I was crying and thinking I am only 56… is this forever? Your calm and safe retraining really helped. I am going to subscribe and follow you and pray that a healthy life style and rewiring my brain will help! Thank you.
The content of his and his partner Anne's online Mindbody course is also an excellent resource that comes with community support as well. Wishing you well on your journey ❤️
So many other videos discuss the faulty signaling of the brain and how that creates a chronic pain/symptom loop when there is no current structural damage or condition to cause the pain and/or symptoms, or it is long after any damage has healed. But you are actually going past that discussion and teaching what to do about it! Thank you so much for this.
It took me a long time to find the answers to my condition. I found that I had to take control of my recovery as the first professionals I consulted with had absolutely no clue. I could have listened to them but the pain drove me to keep searching. Thank goodness for the Internet! I've learned huge amounts about my body. I spoke to a brilliant physio in America to get a recommendation for a physio here in the UK. If you want to get out of your pain, believe that you can. Make it your total mission to keep looking and studying until to achieve your goal. You can do it. You can.
OMG thank you SO MUCH for all these free videos of practical easy efficient exercices and ALL the educational parts!!!!!! After 2 years and and half on long covid journey (unable to work and hardly doing home task and taking care of my daughter), I finally found something that make sense to me!!! I will subscribe to your course as well!!! After only few days, I already see some results and as I am doing NeuroFeedback sessions as well, the lady asked me what I changed since last week because my brainwaves never been that balanced!!!! So thank you SO MUCH and keep doing these free videos!! It actually encourage me to subscribe and pay for the course 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Love and light 🙏🏻
Tanner. I found you on the Steady Coach. Your whole demeanor is very calming. This really does work. Takes time and effort. But to get your life back it is truly worth it!
Hi, I have spent two years struggling to walk due to pulling/tearing my hamstring repeatedly; at least once a week. I am stuck in a cycle where it starts to recover, but I constantly feel pain, the muscles spasm and I pull the muscle again. I have worked hard physically to get the muscle stronger between the pulls and I know there should be no reason for it to pull. I have been so frustrated and confused as medical experts have been unable to arrest this cycle. Having been pointed in the neuroplastic direction, it seems to explain my issues for the first time. I have started to follow your advice, and it is tough as the pain messages are extremely strong…but I have noticed progress even after a few days. I have a long path ahead yet, but for the first time in two years I have hope of returning to normality. Thank you.
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I just did this exercise and felt a big increase in good feelings in my body, as well as much more relaxed. It's very difficult for me to feel good sensations in my body, because of the pain and other symptoms, so this was a welcome surprise! I've done many different som. tracking exercises but this one really made a difference. It made enough of a difference that I subscribed to your channel. : )
Thank you so much tanner for this video... You are so kind, i pray for speedy recovery of all who are suffering from chronic pain and live their best life. I am also suffering from chronic headaches and neck pain, your instructions were so calming. Thank you.
To say this was helpful would be an understatement. Thank you Tanner for sharing your wonderful, well expressed insights. And thank you for taking the time to post this video on messages of safety. It has been a life changing experience for my daughter.
Oh mr Murtagh, you were a little sneaky adding in about energy going up and down the spine, and out the crown of the head. My daughter has definitely experienced this new level of healing that no one prepared us for. (Which I totally understand since an awakening does happen to everyone or when you expect it to.) It has led her in a completely new direction seeking completely new information. But no matter which direction she goes, she always comes back to these messages of safety. She finally feels balance, peace, harmony, and joy. It is such a blessing to have my daughter happy and healing again.
Hi ,what another great video for me ! You sounded like I feel now and the constant struggle with my brain but the breathe exercise and the words who say resonate with me big time ! Thank you so much for giving me hope 🦋
Excellent video and very helpful. Just what I needed in my feed today. My chronic pain journey is finally coming to an end after a devastating orthopaedic injury (3 years on) and what you stressed about telling the body it is safe and okay was game changing for me. When a body is in so much pain you just get desperate and think any little odd pain means something must be terribly wrong. I had all the scans to prove everything was repaired and needed to train my brain to stop fearing the worse (not an easy task and it took time, but I stuck with it).
@@painpsychotherapy I am so grateful to you. I was paralytic because of the trashing and energy of my narcissist religious xhusband. I can get well Now!

Hi Tanner, I have only recently learnt about pain reprocessing therapy and found your channel. I am struggling with chronic daily headache and chronic migraine . I am watching your videos and using your strategies, but I wondered if you had any further advice or information about using these techniques to treat headache disorders. Thank you so much for all you are doing to help so many people, its really appreciated.
Glad I found your channel, Tanner. Would it be possible to not use the “negatives” - what not to do? I feel like my brain can’t really differentiate between what to do and what not to do. The more of the positive I hear the more I can allow it to sink in. I hope this makes sense.
Thank you so much for sharing thid practice! I find it super helpful. It helps me to calm down my nervous system, be more regulated, and feel more positive about my CFS healing journey ❤. Please continue to do good work as you are doing in teaching about brain retraining!
Thank you for a great video and the breathing exercises and everything you said resonated with me. I have had some chronic pain in the form of sciatica. Now, I am looking back and I realize that when this came on I was feeling stressed and upset about a few things and even a little anger. I was thinking this was all physical but it isn’t. The brain does have so much to do with this. I subscribed and will be viewing more of your videos.
Hi Tanner, I've recently discovered PRT and feel hopeful for the first time in two years. I have days where I clearly see that my pain is neuroplastic and I do somatic tracking and feel like I'm getting there but then I have days when the pain gets the better of me and I get really discouraged again and I start to think that the pain is a result of my neck problems and I start to feel fearful and trapped again. (I have chronic fatigue and bad anxiety too.) Today I tried to get back on the horse but it feels like an uphill battle. I think I can't get better if I'm on the horse for a few days and then fall off and feel like I'm back at square one. I really appreciate all the somatic tracking exercises you are posting. Thank you.
@@painpsychotherapy Thanks Tanner. Since sending you my msg things are improving. My evidence base is growing because I'm moving more and feeling less pain which is proving to me that my pain is neuroplastic. My confidence in the process is growing. Thanks again. Celia
Watching your video makes me relaxed and safe. Would watching this video regularly act as a brain retraining exercise? I just find brain retraining easier this way
Thank you for this gift. I appreciate you sharing all the tools you’ve learned along your journey. I’ve been searching for a daily mindfulness meditation program focused on pain, fear and reprogramming the brain but I have not yet found one. Then I came across this video and it’s exactly what I was searching for however I’d love it if it were a daily program… have you ever thought about making one? I’d definitely purchase it. Also, did you find one along your healing journey that you could share? Thanks again. This really helped me on a challenging day
I'm so glad it is helpful. It sounds like you are doing great healing work! We are planning for our virtual course to come out in June! I'll announce on the channel when it is out!
I have been doing Mindbody work for a while now with good success but need to keep going as I still suffer with occasional setbacks, conditioned movement and fear thoughts so I continue to work on these. I have recently found your channel and am finding it incredibly helpful. Love the concept of savouring the part of the breath which feels the most calming. This adds another layer to help regulate. Looking forward to discovering more. Thank you so much.
Hello everyone I think I have nearly convinced myself my pain is neuroplastic. I have been to two doctors. They have found absolutely nothing wrong with me. It would be so helpful to me if I knew certain symptoms other people cured them with these techniques. I hear a bunch of stories on the podcast specifically about pain. But I have a lot of i guess Flu like or covid like symptoms. Again doctors found nothing wrong) The * ones I need most convincing about. I just want to know if other people have seen these symptoms reduce in themselves. Pins Needles * Headaches Swelled glands in my groin.* Feeling hot/ fake fevers. I have took my temperature it's normal. Feeling wiped out * anxiety brain fog * stabbing pains in chest and arms aches in legs coughing, snotty nose * bubbly digestive system * unusual bowl movements and stomach pain *
@@sarahrenee8324 yes I have tried everything in the past. This is the only thing that works. Pain reprocessing therapy. Everything else I would be extremely skeptical of. Lots of desperate people going down multiple internet rabbit holes of bad advice.
Thanks for that. I've never thought to do that typre of thing when I was feeling calm and relaxed. Its always been as a reactive measure in response to pain/ agitation.
Hi Tanner, I have a couple of questions for you. 1) Do you recommend that I incorporate methods of distraction into my daily routine (and by “distraction” I mean things like Sudoku puzzles, crossword puzzles, singing, drawing/painting, etc). Because it’s probably best if I’m not focused 100% of the time on my pain, am I right? And if you recommend these distractions, how much time do you recommend I spend on them? 2) If I spend a half hour daily working with this video (and I use this 10-minute one 3x a day) is that enough to get an eventual effect? I use the term “eventual” because I realize it may take several months before I notice a difference.
1) Instead of distracting a focus on leaning into pleasant experiences can be helpful. Of course some strategic avoidance can be useful briefly. 2) This practice can be helpful for unlearning pain or symptoms. However also focusing on nervous system regulation and emotional processing is key!
As with Somatic Tracking, i'm always a bit afraid to be too serious and to do somatic tracking only to try to get rid of the pain. When i'm done or in the end of the exercise my thoughts are always "is the pain gone now?".. I know its stupid.. and I know its only a thought.. but it feels like a bit of pressure. How am i sure, that i'm am doing it without pressure ? Should i just dont care afterwards or what?
😊 thank you when you do this brain retraining do you have to talk out loud or be silent when you speak to the brain? Can the brain hear you if you are silent?
Thank you for this I have a question I heard that pain don't always have to come from the conscious but it can come from the subconscious how do I tell my subconscious that I am safe?
Tanner, I love your channel, your explanations and your guided practices. But I find it really difficult to send myself messages of safety, when I live in an environment that is objectively unsafe because of war. And my symptoms make it extremely difficult for me to shelter myself when I have to. I would love your advice on this, thanks 🙏
So sorry to hear what you are going through, I know for many internal safety is hard to cultivate when there is external danger. This is no easy solution to this, but nervous system regulation is key here. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/RAyBwV0SFhU/w-d-xo.html
I am trying to train my brain about positive thinking for over a year now. I had two accidents and my brain constantly reminds me about them. I haven't healed from one of them fully therefore my brain doesn't want to believe that i am safe no matter how persistent and calm i am trying to be. Any advice how to overcome it? And how long does it take to rewire the brain? Also can you recover fully from intrusive thoughts? Thank you.
Sorry to hear what you are dealing with. Everyone's brain is different so timeline can vary. Check out the somatic trackings on my channel for support!
The practice give a little bit of calm, but the breathing gives me so much stress haha! I let that one out the next time and try to breath naturally. But where I am really stuck is the thing that er actually really things are damaged. Blood pressure, blood circulation, and so on. I cant get that in my mind how there is nothing damaged 😊. Can you explain how this works? I wanna think that it is a mind body condition and that i am capable of rewire, but im not sure about both😅
Tanner ..I am 23 year ..I am suffering in 5 year in chronic pain fibromalgiya in lots of pain plss help me . What my frist steps in my recovery...plss help me . I see your video but i am confused how strat in my training ...
Hey Tanner, I hope it''s okay if I ask a question. What is your view on moving while you're in pain? Some theories on neuroplastic pain say to wait till the pain is better, and then start moving again (I mean this on a day to day base - sometimes there's more pain and sometimes there's less), but other theories say that you should also move when you feel pain and hence 'prove' to your brain you can move and that the pain is not necessary. What's your experience with this?
Great question. It can really vary person to person. Generally with graded exposure to movement there is going to be pain, however we want to ensure we aren't pushing through high pain. If you are worried it can be useful to get the approval of certain movements from a physician. Keep going!
@@painpsychotherapy Okay, thanks for your response. I'm experimenting now with moving while in pain, but not stretching it too far. I guess it's a very delicate balance!
@@lottehertog1341 I learned guide that helped me: discomfort vs actual pain. The first is just that uncomfortable but tolerable (last few hrs) vs the second (lasts to next day or more.) Learning to lean into painful sensations (just past comfort zone) bit by bit using breath and knowing you’re safe help. But as Tanner said clear any ‘pain’ sensations w/MD and or prof’l health practitioner you work with ie physical therapist.
Is this good to help with anxiety/panic disorder and I’ve had lots of episodes of neuropathy, pre-syncope and blurred vision/dizziness that drs can’t figure out
Hello sir. Is it possible to developed CFS after several rounds of antibiotics? Cause after the medication, im having chronic pain. Insomnia, anxiety, mental and physical symptoms.. feels like im in a bubble. My eyes are feeling strained. Having back muscle spasm that causes tension headaches.
So sorry to hear this. Yes, this is a possible way for neuroplastic symptoms to develop. Of course it is important to have physical causes ruled out by a physician.
Loving these videos, Tanner. Got here very recently after reading Alan Gordon’s The Way Out.I’ve been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, though the symptoms are really not very consistent. I’n rarely uncomfortable unless I’m actually walking, and then become terrified of being in discomfort. Suppose my symptoms are not entirely neuroplastic - am I still going to benefit from somatic training, do you think? Best wishes, Bill Parker
Thank you Tanner for your support! I have been dealing with neuro pain for quite a while. My doctor is suggesting antidepressant meds to help alleviate the pain. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you!
Would you do something about sleep issues? I have to have 10 to 12 hours a night in order to feel ok. these hours are completely dependent on sleep meds also. HELP!!!
Hi Tanner, been crippled with chronic right rib/flank pain for 14 year on one side only, ultrasounds and MRI never found anything but my life has been wrecked beung in pain every single day. Could it be neuroplastic pain even if not symmetrical? Thank you
Thank you so much!!! Your words are calming mind , body and symptoms. They are simple,felt and true I am deeply grateful. Hopefully you do see this message I wanted to ask if it applies to FND symptoms. I have , after a period of severe stress, anxiety, emotional turmoil, incredible stressful activities, developed strange pain shootings in different parts of the body. Anxiety translated them catastrophically. They transformed fast, became burning sensations and scary pain shooting even in the heart. Neurologist gave FND diagnosis. Your meditations and explanations are the best I could find. Do you have also courses? Once more deep Thank you!!
I'm so glad my content is helpful. Yes, in my opinion FND is Neuroplastic. I'm so sorry to hear about your symptoms. Our full course will launch early next week!
Can I ask since it’s always where I’m Stuck. It started for me from an injury 5 years ago. Body compensating everywhere for something I cannot fix. Do you call misalignments, body compensations nothing wrong with the body? I’m trying to understand what merits “there’s nothing wrong with me” (herniated discs, misalignments, old injuries, soft tissue damage etc etc) does this all fall Under this category ? I mean if nothing was wrong at all no one would have pain and symptoms to begin with. This is what most TMS coaches do not clarify.
Good question. Pain and physical symptoms can be triggered and perpetuated completely from our nervous system being stuck in a state of survival, and no injury even needs to be involved in triggering the symptoms in the first place. This is part of being human. All the issues with the body you mentiomed can be normal abnormalities we have and can occur without pain or symptoms. Of course it is important to consult with your physician about this. Hope this helps!
This is wonderful understanding and info, thank you. Can we do this with more than one MBS symptom at a time. Right now I have pelvic pain (CPPS) co-morbid with IBS, and with an overall state of depression/chronic fatigue. I know that IBS for years has been described as a gut-brain axis issue, so really it obviously fits into the MBS mode. CPPF and CFS I've come to realize are also neuroplastic. But with all 3 kinda at work at the moment (unfortunately), and honestly not one really dominating over another atm, just curious if we can sort of integrate, or better to pick one :)
So sorry to hear about your symptoms. Good quesetion! This really depends, as some find it easier to focus on one at a time and some focus on all of the symptoms during the exercise. Find what works best for you!
What about if you have Mold toxicity and Lyme and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and super strong smells? I know MCS is mind body but will this work for Biotoxins Illness?
Is this a good method for pain from herniated disks? It hasn't worked for me in the past, but doctors are often telling me to do things like this (or meditation, etc..) as pain management.
Will certainly try this method. Had knee pain, they collapsed on me! TKR on both knees, no more pain. Still pain prior to knee surgery in both arms. Very little bone in left shoulder severe pain but bone on bone in right shoulder with less pain. Surgery recommended but will use PRP first. Feldenkrais method has improved my body especially balance. Peace ☮️ joy😃and blessings 🙏
Following your instructions led to repeated yawning, which I understand is a sign of parasympathetic nervous system dominance. Simple, and effective. Thank you very much!

How are you getting on now ?

Try magnesium and high does of vitamin b1 thiamine these two things changed my life chronic pain / fibromyalgia/ burning knees
@@dachmumI take 420 mg of magnesium and Pharmacist says 500 mg is okay. Magnesium glycinate is for nerve health.

Also, did you find one along your healing journey that you could share? Thanks again. This really helped me on a challenging day
I'm so glad it is helpful. It sounds like you are doing great healing work! We are planning for our virtual course to come out in June! I'll announce on the channel when it is out!
A huge thank you and bless you for sharing what you know so much appreciate this❤😊
I'm so glad this video was helpful. Keep going!
Amazing practice thank you Tanner!! I'm going to be coming back to this a lot as I retrain my brain out of Chronic Pain.
You got this!
Thanks for all of these great videos Tanner!!!!
I'm so glad they are useful!
More than useful, thanks
Thank you so much for this. Been waking up with chronic pain for the past few days. This exercise made me feel safe & regulated. Truly grateful 😇
I'm so happy it was helpful. Keep going!
Great video and thank you❤
💚✨💚
I have been doing Mindbody work for a while now with good success but need to keep going as I still suffer with occasional setbacks, conditioned movement and fear thoughts so I continue to work on these. I have recently found your channel and am finding it incredibly helpful. Love the concept of savouring the part of the breath which feels the most calming. This adds another layer to help regulate. Looking forward to discovering more. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad my content is helpful. Keep going!
Thank you, a practice without the long intro would be great for daily listening 😊
You're welcome. Just posted another one with brief intro!
So some of us need the intro.
How many times a day would you recommend doing this. It's quite a simple practice.
Generally a few times a day can be really helpful. However this will vary person to person.
Hello everyone I think I have nearly convinced myself my pain is neuroplastic. I have been to two doctors. They have found absolutely nothing wrong with me. It would be so helpful to me if I knew certain symptoms other people cured them with these techniques. I hear a bunch of stories on the podcast specifically about pain. But I have a lot of i guess Flu like or covid like symptoms. Again doctors found nothing wrong) The * ones I need most convincing about. I just want to know if other people have seen these symptoms reduce in themselves.
Pins Needles *
Headaches
Swelled glands in my groin.*
Feeling hot/ fake fevers. I have took my temperature it's normal.
Feeling wiped out *
anxiety
brain fog *
stabbing pains in chest and arms
aches in legs
coughing, snotty nose *
bubbly digestive system *
unusual bowl movements and stomach pain *
I wish you the best in your healing. I hope my content can be helpful!
Have you ruled out mold being within your environment?
@@sarahrenee8324 yes I have tried everything in the past. This is the only thing that works. Pain reprocessing therapy. Everything else I would be extremely skeptical of. Lots of desperate people going down multiple internet rabbit holes of bad advice.
Go through Joe dispenza Videos and testimonials you can set new beliefs and potentials through meditations.. it's fantastic
I have actual bulging discs and told that isn't the cause. Nothing makes sense
This is one of my favorite regulating my nervous system it is so hard to sit still
I'm so glad it was helpful! Keep going!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks for that. I've never thought to do that typre of thing when I was feeling calm and relaxed. Its always been as a reactive measure in response to pain/ agitation.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Excellent! Thank you and God bless you
You're welcome!
Hi Tanner,
I have a couple of questions for you. 1) Do you recommend that I incorporate methods of distraction into my daily routine (and by “distraction” I mean things like Sudoku puzzles, crossword puzzles, singing, drawing/painting, etc). Because it’s probably best if I’m not focused 100% of the time on my pain, am I right? And if you recommend these distractions, how much time do you recommend I spend on them? 2) If I spend a half hour daily working with this video (and I use this 10-minute one 3x a day) is that enough to get an eventual effect? I use the term “eventual” because I realize it may take several months before I notice a difference.
1) Instead of distracting a focus on leaning into pleasant experiences can be helpful. Of course some strategic avoidance can be useful briefly. 2) This practice can be helpful for unlearning pain or symptoms. However also focusing on nervous system regulation and emotional processing is key!
Thanks for your feedback, Tanner!👍👍🙏🙏
As with Somatic Tracking, i'm always a bit afraid to be too serious and to do somatic tracking only to try to get rid of the pain. When i'm done or in the end of the exercise my thoughts are always "is the pain gone now?".. I know its stupid.. and I know its only a thought.. but it feels like a bit of pressure. How am i sure, that i'm am doing it without pressure ? Should i just dont care afterwards or what?
Great question. I have a few videos on reducing pressure and a practice you can check out!
Is there any help for bone on bone knee pain? Thanks...
I have seen this approach work, however it is important to consult with your doctor regarding treatment.
Are incomplete yawns a sign of nervous system disregulation? I have cfs but every since I got sick I couldnt get satisfying yawns
I am uncertain about incomplete yawns.
Thank you so much for this practical calming and helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
😊 thank you when you do this brain retraining do you have to talk out loud or be silent when you speak to the brain? Can the brain hear you if you are silent?
Both work. Which ever you prefer!
Thank you for this I have a question I heard that pain don't always have to come from the conscious but it can come from the subconscious how do I tell my subconscious that I am safe?
Somatically sending signals of safety is key for this. Somatic practices and breath work can help us do this!
Tanner, I love your channel, your explanations and your guided practices.
But I find it really difficult to send myself messages of safety, when I live in an environment that is objectively unsafe because of war. And my symptoms make it extremely difficult for me to shelter myself when I have to.
I would love your advice on this, thanks 🙏
So sorry to hear what you are going through, I know for many internal safety is hard to cultivate when there is external danger. This is no easy solution to this, but nervous system regulation is key here. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/RAyBwV0SFhU/w-d-xo.html
@@painpsychotherapy thanks!
Thank u 🙏
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for this meditation. Just what I've been needing.
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was useful!
I am trying to train my brain about positive thinking for over a year now. I had two accidents and my brain constantly reminds me about them. I haven't healed from one of them fully therefore my brain doesn't want to believe that i am safe no matter how persistent and calm i am trying to be. Any advice how to overcome it? And how long does it take to rewire the brain? Also can you recover fully from intrusive thoughts? Thank you.
Sorry to hear what you are dealing with. Everyone's brain is different so timeline can vary. Check out the somatic trackings on my channel for support!
We are suppose to breath diaphragmatically which means fill belly on inhalation and exhale longer. No upper chest breath..it has negative effects.
💚💚
This was so amazing, wounderful, thank ou so much🙏💜💜💜💜
💚✨💚
The practice give a little bit of calm, but the breathing gives me so much stress haha! I let that one out the next time and try to breath naturally. But where I am really stuck is the thing that er actually really things are damaged. Blood pressure, blood circulation, and so on. I cant get that in my mind how there is nothing damaged 😊. Can you explain how this works? I wanna think that it is a mind body condition and that i am capable of rewire, but im not sure about both😅
I"m glad this video was helpful. Hopefully this video can answer your questions: th-cam.com/video/CaLsTAHgy_g/w-d-xo.html
@@painpsychotherapy thank you! I will listen tomorrow!
Tanner ..I am 23 year ..I am suffering in 5 year in chronic pain fibromalgiya in lots of pain plss help me . What my frist steps in my recovery...plss help me . I see your video but i am confused how strat in my training ...
Check out the introduction to neuroplastic pain/symptoms playlist on my main channel page. I hope my content can be helpful for you!
Hey Tanner, I hope it''s okay if I ask a question. What is your view on moving while you're in pain? Some theories on neuroplastic pain say to wait till the pain is better, and then start moving again (I mean this on a day to day base - sometimes there's more pain and sometimes there's less), but other theories say that you should also move when you feel pain and hence 'prove' to your brain you can move and that the pain is not necessary. What's your experience with this?
Great question. It can really vary person to person. Generally with graded exposure to movement there is going to be pain, however we want to ensure we aren't pushing through high pain. If you are worried it can be useful to get the approval of certain movements from a physician. Keep going!
@@painpsychotherapy Okay, thanks for your response. I'm experimenting now with moving while in pain, but not stretching it too far. I guess it's a very delicate balance!
@@lottehertog1341
I learned guide that helped me: discomfort vs actual pain. The first is just that uncomfortable but tolerable (last few hrs) vs the second (lasts to next day or more.) Learning to lean into painful sensations (just past comfort zone) bit by bit using breath and knowing you’re safe help. But as Tanner said clear any ‘pain’ sensations w/MD and or prof’l health practitioner you work with ie physical therapist.
Practice @9:22 🙂🌿
Thanks!
Is this good to help with anxiety/panic disorder and I’ve had lots of episodes of neuropathy, pre-syncope and blurred vision/dizziness that drs can’t figure out
Yes, it potentially could be. However, it depends person to person what works best. Keep going!
I love this video!! Very helpful. Thank you!
I'm so happy it was helpful!
Hello sir. Is it possible to developed CFS after several rounds of antibiotics? Cause after the medication, im having chronic pain. Insomnia, anxiety, mental and physical symptoms.. feels like im in a bubble. My eyes are feeling strained. Having back muscle spasm that causes tension headaches.
So sorry to hear this. Yes, this is a possible way for neuroplastic symptoms to develop. Of course it is important to have physical causes ruled out by a physician.
Check your home of mold and let see also
@@painpsychotherapy thank you sir for the reply. Im having vertigo now..maybe its because of my neck?..
@@fearlesstalkgh1940 hello sir/mam. How to check molds?
@ go run a mycotoxins test
Can this work for digestive symptoms? I have gallbladder sludge. Does this only work if you don’t have an actual issue?
Yes, I have seen it be effective, as a portion of the sensations can still be neuroplastic.
Really good,thankyou
I'm happy it was helpful!
Loving these videos, Tanner. Got here very recently after reading Alan Gordon’s The Way Out.I’ve been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, though the symptoms are really not very consistent. I’n rarely uncomfortable unless I’m actually walking, and then become terrified of being in discomfort. Suppose my symptoms are not entirely neuroplastic - am I still going to benefit from somatic training, do you think? Best wishes, Bill Parker
Welcome! Yes there is still a benefit if a portion of the symptoms are neuroplastic. Keep going!
Thank you Tanner for your support! I have been dealing with neuro pain for quite a while. My doctor is suggesting antidepressant meds to help alleviate the pain. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you!
I'm so glad my content was helpful. I am unable to advise on medication due to not being a physician. Sorry about this!
Fair enough! Thank you for your reply and for the great help you are providing.
Hi Tanner, did you get my message below? I sent it over the past weekend (which might explain why you didn’t see it). Anyways, TIA!🙏
Sorry for some reason your question is not showing up. Would you mind asking it again!
Would you do something about sleep issues? I have to have 10 to 12 hours a night in order to feel ok. these hours are completely dependent on sleep meds also. HELP!!!
Sorry to hear about your sleep. I will do a video in the future!
Hi Tanner, been crippled with chronic right rib/flank pain for 14 year on one side only, ultrasounds and MRI never found anything but my life has been wrecked beung in pain every single day. Could it be neuroplastic pain even if not symmetrical? Thank you
Good question. Neuroplastic pain can present not symmetrically also. Of course ensure your consult with a doctor regarding your symptoms.
@@painpsychotherapy thank you for your kind reply. Another question for you, can intercostal neuralgia be a neuroplastic pain? Thank you again.
Thank you so much!!!
Your words are calming mind , body and symptoms.
They are simple,felt and true
I am deeply grateful.
Hopefully you do see this message
I wanted to ask if it applies to FND symptoms.
I have , after a period of severe stress, anxiety, emotional turmoil, incredible stressful activities, developed strange pain shootings in different parts of the body.
Anxiety translated them catastrophically.
They transformed fast, became burning sensations and scary pain shooting even in the heart.
Neurologist gave FND diagnosis.
Your meditations and explanations are the best I could find.
Do you have also courses?
Once more deep Thank you!!
I'm so glad my content is helpful. Yes, in my opinion FND is Neuroplastic. I'm so sorry to hear about your symptoms. Our full course will launch early next week!
Can I ask since it’s always where I’m
Stuck. It started for me from an injury 5 years ago. Body compensating everywhere for something I cannot fix. Do you call misalignments, body compensations nothing wrong with the body? I’m trying to understand what merits “there’s nothing wrong with me” (herniated discs, misalignments, old injuries, soft tissue damage etc etc) does this all fall
Under this category ? I mean if nothing was wrong at all no one would have pain and symptoms to begin with. This is what most TMS coaches do not clarify.
Good question. Pain and physical symptoms can be triggered and perpetuated completely from our nervous system being stuck in a state of survival, and no injury even needs to be involved in triggering the symptoms in the first place. This is part of being human. All the issues with the body you mentiomed can be normal abnormalities we have and can occur without pain or symptoms. Of course it is important to consult with your physician about this. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this video!
💚✨💚
💚✨💚
Thank you, this was wonderful 😊
I'm so happy it was useful!
This is wonderful understanding and info, thank you. Can we do this with more than one MBS symptom at a time. Right now I have pelvic pain (CPPS) co-morbid with IBS, and with an overall state of depression/chronic fatigue. I know that IBS for years has been described as a gut-brain axis issue, so really it obviously fits into the MBS mode. CPPF and CFS I've come to realize are also neuroplastic. But with all 3 kinda at work at the moment (unfortunately), and honestly not one really dominating over another atm, just curious if we can sort of integrate, or better to pick one :)
So sorry to hear about your symptoms. Good quesetion! This really depends, as some find it easier to focus on one at a time and some focus on all of the symptoms during the exercise. Find what works best for you!
I am hopeful that this will work...
I hope my content can be helpful for you. I wish you the best in your healing.
What about if you have Mold toxicity and Lyme and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and super strong smells? I know MCS is mind body but will this work for Biotoxins Illness?
These symptoms can potentially be Neuroplastic. It's important to have physical causes ruled out.
Actual training starts at 8:43
💚💚
No thinking about the pain...focus on the blessings all around you...
Keep going!
Will do...thanks!
Is this a good method for pain from herniated disks? It hasn't worked for me in the past, but doctors are often telling me to do things like this (or meditation, etc..) as pain management.
Yes, research and my personal experience with clients has been this can be very helpful.
Thank you
You're welcome!
Will certainly try this method. Had knee pain, they collapsed on me! TKR on both knees, no more pain. Still pain prior to knee surgery in both arms. Very little bone in left shoulder severe pain but bone on bone in right shoulder with less pain. Surgery recommended but will use PRP first. Feldenkrais method has improved my body especially balance. Peace ☮️ joy😃and blessings 🙏
Sorry to hear about your symptoms. I hope my content can be helpful!
Does this help with vest migraine?
We have seen success when the symptoms are Neuroplastic!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Do you think this will work for really poor sleep?
Messages of safety regarding sleep can be great!
U r a Saint.
💚✨💚
Wonderful❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽thank you!
I'm so glad this video was helpful!
Will this help me with chronic IBS. I feel I'm at a crisis point with it and nothing is working anymore 😢
If the IBS is neuroplastic this approach can be potentially beneficial. I hope it is helpful for you.
Thank you. Wonderful meditation ❤🎉
I'm so happy it was helpful!
Very much like Feldenkrais lessons or FIs
💚✨💚
Tanna I really struggle to deep breath. It’s all tight
Yes, it is important not to force it causing discomfort. If this is occurring it is usually ideal to be taking small breaths.
@@painpsychotherapy I didn’t know if I was doing something wrong
