Your neoplastic talk is what I have been doing for my fibro and bone pain…..but never knew it was Something that was a workable program for others. Wow. You explained it ! The doctors are always surprised at my pain level is so high. (Takes work ). I drove myself to hospital when I have broken bones, appendix attack, etc. I can’t seem to have the fatigue work well with this, however, as a whole I’m so happy that it works for pain,

Sandi, so many kinds of pain,Oliver

I need someone in Arizona?

My mother and father always made decisions quickly. My father used to say, whether it’s right or wrong choose SOMETHING, just make a decision. I used to be like that myself. I Couldn’t stand being stuck in indecision so I made decisions after reasonable consideration of options and possible outcomes; but now as I get older, I find that I put things off more and more and either remain indecisive or I put things off altogether. It’s gotten so bad to the point that I’m barely even living anymore. I just put everything off. I get so excited about a project and then I can’t even bring myself to start it and I don’t know what it is that has me so frozen in my life. My mother died 7 years ago and strangely, I feel like I lost my identity when we lost her. I don’t know who I am without her. I feel so much emptiness and I’ve wasted so much time grieving and feeling overwhelmed by emptiness and hopelessness. I’ve not celebrated any holidays or even a birthday since my mother died. It’s incalculable how much I’ve allowed her passing to stop me from living. I’ve cut ties with all my friends and I know this is no way to exist but I can’t take the demand and exhaustion of being needed by anyone. I feel so selfish and worthless. After I lost my mother I don’t know if I went into a deep depression or I suffered a massive identity crisis. Perhaps it was both.

34 : 45 I am a person with a brain injury i have many different thoughts with what you are saying with-in this talk. My brain was told i would be a vegetable or Brain damaged. I have i loved veggies have BD , but. I weak talk have coordination and balance challenges, some to say is there but, quite a stretch if what tire saying.?

Thanks, this was pure gold and very much needed

Highly disappointing Interview. You never get to "what you can do about it"

Hi. I believe what you are trying to describe is a primitive reflex know as the Moro reflex. If left unintegrated from birth or activated from trauma it can cause issues in your life. Read about MNRI therapy 🙂

This is absolute nonsense. Easy problems easy solutions

Dr schubiner says all pain is in the brain

Dr schubiner s work

It's highly.linked to autism ADHD heds

Dod you get my message

This is excellent information and presentation is great and easy to understand. I have fatigue not pain.

This video is highly unappreciated

Neuropathy pain in both legs and numbness is limiting what I can do. After a stroke. A year later still looking for an answer. Doing more but pain does not go away. Steroid shots and exercise but still pain.

I think that the mitochondria changes in ME/CFS is a downstream effect of a maladaptive stress response. I think saying that “recovery might not be possible” for this group of people is a dangerous statement and can act as a nocebo

Ok but how am I worthy? Because I’m pretty convinced I’m not.

Thank-you Madeline! Excellent presentation and topic. Greetings from Sheila in Thunder Bay. Hope all is well. ❤

Well, I wanna get a fecal transplant so I could enjoy the smell of the donor's poop.

Thank you 🙏 for explaining so beautifully and easily graspable

❤You were Amazing and Wonderful, Dr Stein!! ♥️

I have joined Dan Buglio’s group sessions that deal 100% with this. I am seeing progress for the first time in 8 years.

46:02 None of this info has penetrated the healthcare system in the US. This is the first time I've heard this.

Finally somebody who is explaining it in simple terms. So many professionals and recovery story people are out there giving advice but it is SO confusing. When you live in Chronic Pain with hundreds of symptoms, low mood, anxiety and toxic self talk you can not untangle all the information. I have literally spent hours, days, weeks trying to understand what to actually do. This is concise and a simple practice that I can put into action right away! Thank you 🙏

Hi Madeleine, you are doing amazing work, a suggestion for more improvement in your podcast, could you please stop interrupting the guest until he/she completes his point of view. As I really got disturbed and couldn't focus on Lorimer points during the whole podcast. I hope you will take this as a positive gestures.

I don't recall much from when I was very young, but I've experienced an exorbitant number of deaths of loved ones, sometimes in clusters. I was emotionally abused by my parents when they drank (they were binge alcoholics), I was physically abused by my ex-boyfriend, I had two brain tumours (not sure if tha5s relevant), my ex-husband was stabbed, leaving him a quadriplegic in 1995, and e died in my arms by euthanasia in August 2023. I've been told by so many people that it's just "bizarre" that I've "been through so much) but I don't know if thats the case. If it IS unusual, I wonder if all that would cause this?

I've wondered for years why I'm so jumpy sometimes. It was an office joke that I was so easily startled. Even if I KNEW someone was standing behind me, I'd still jump if they said something or touched me. Not *every* time, but often enough that it was a running joke.

Can you get after you get your gore bladder removed

Unworthiness is a huge problem for me😢

Amazing! It’s hard to underestimate how much you guys are doing by giving clear picture of what’s going on with my body and how to handle it. Thank you!

Dr Stein, This is the second video I've seen you in. I LOVE your work. Dr Caroline Leaf was the first person I listened to about Neuroplasticity. I don't use Alcohol as a Medication anymore, I now live a Spiritual life, and My Mental Health has improved. I still have many issues to deal with in my Recovery. Thanks to People like you posting on Social Media I have been able to access help. @ 64 years old I know, as Dr Wayne Dyer said it, Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life. The most favorite saying I LOVE, ( LET IT BEGIN WITH ME). ❤❤❤❤❤

Lorimer is such a star, so grateful for his work. Wow and started his PhD the year my CRPS began! Thank you for this. ♥

Helpful ☺️

Hey Desmond, interesting to hear your story, how do you feel about the connection between mind body syndrome, stress/tension and Tre?

Interesting but would be easier to follow if you where a little better prepared to give your presentation.

Thanks

Which chapter of Norman Doidges book did she say was so important?

She was my doctor for many years.

He is dry as the Sahara desert 🥱😴. He's not even interested in what he's saying. He also left out a LOT of sensitization symptoms that fall under central sensitization. I've listened to a lot of these and he is not very good at talking about this.

Good stuff! Occupational therapists are a great resource for people who deal with any of these things or are curious about it. If you struggle with any of these things and can access an OT, it can be life changing! Personally for me it made a massive difference. It’s also worth adding that the person who developed the concept of HSPs based it initially on observations of people she personally knew, who actually ended up being diagnosed with autism. And her website explicitly says that she has no education/knowledge about autism. I thought I was an HSP for years, but was recently diagnosed with autism. It’s also incredibly common for neurodivergent folks to have other diagnoses like central sensitization, severe allergies, misophonia, etc. I’m not saying that everyone who is an HSP is necessarily autistic, but I would say that the chances of some type of neurodivergence is very increased if you think you’re an HSP and it is worth looking into. As you say, having the correct diagnosis and the correct language helps so much with how to approach things. I didn’t even realize that I had sensory sensitivities… I assumed that what I felt was what most people felt, but I just “managed it” worse/differently. I didn’t realize that my experience of the world was actually quite different to begin with. Nobody would have guessed that I am autistic, because I appeared extroverted for a long time (until I burnt out) and did a lot of masking/camouflaging. My extreme empathy, extreme sensitivities, etc. were always just considered personality quirks. When I learned about HSPs and empathy’s I certainly felt like it helped me understand myself more… but when I learned I was actually autistic (and what autism actually is- not just the stereotype we’ve learned about in the mainstream) it literally explained/helped me understand myself and my life whole life in a new way that made more sense to me than anything ever has, haha.

😎 *promosm*

The best podcast ever to heal from chronic pain!! Thank you so very very much ❤

The brain 🧠 is the most powerful thing there is

thank you, such of good topics!

In many talks like this its presented as if the patient at the onset of pain was "reset" to no activities, so that now he can gradually come back to life. Thats maybe true for devastating injuries. Unfortunately i suspect in most patients this is not the case, but kinda the opposite, We try to cling to our former activities until the disease forces us to our knees and deconditions us over the course of months or years. All the sarno guys have a nice theory but zero proof behind it. Very frustrating for all of us suffering. Also I believe these therapists take no responsibility whatsoever as in the back of their minds they expect the patient to get worse. If he remains stable or has a spontaneous remission they can write that down as a success story.

Thank you!

To my knowledge it was never proven that central sensitization can be reversed. Also, people don't stop engaging in life because of fear but because of the symptoms themselves. Saying the symptoms are not dangerous just because they can't directly kill is nonsense. CS ruins lives.
