Building a Sense of Safety & Security in Yourself

[@eileen945]

This is absolutely brilliant teaching for this type of recovery! I am 70, and I’ve had to address ALL things you talk about from childhood. No doubts(!! at all) in MY mind where all this started( GAD, dizziness etc) for me indeed. However… now, I would love to hear Jim talk about the “ best” course of action and OR encouragement to apply when we are living with a difficult environment. For myself, even during recovery, I am searching for my own housing( @70) because of a history of a difficult relationship. This has been ROUGH! I hope you can see what I am saying. I am psychologically ( not physically) threatened by it most of the time because of Narcissistic behavior and addiction. This is very explicit I know. But it is truth. I KNOW this can only have ONE answer . That is to take myself OUT of it. But I can say truly… I am trying, with low $$ and not much help as a senior gal, I am trying to find housing. I want to live my best life now at this age…. Put a difficult past behind me and finally find PEACE in my Body… Mind and Soul. Jim’s teachings mean the world to me to carry on.❤

Jim you are one of the best PDP/TMS therapists. Love your teachings ❤

This is just brilliant! So helpful to understand that the Inner Child is the limbic brain and the Inner Parent the Prefrontal Cortex. Never heard it put like that before. Thanks so much, Jim ❤

[@southsidereps3081]

I'm naming it my Parental frontal cortex to help tame the younger versions of self aka limbic system. Thank you Jim, this video and your last were extremely helpful in your analogies of the brain.

Thanks Jim very apt for me right now as my brain is interpreting danger due to ill parent & fraught family dynamic kicking off my chronic bladder pain/ symptoms. Trying my best to reassure myself but as you say it's one thing to know consciously totally different to convince your subconscious you are safe 😢

Hello Joanne, name is Eileen and I just posted my own story here as well. We do have different stories… but I can say that I TRULY understand the EXTRA challenges that come for many of us dealing with recovery AND situations that are VERY difficult. Just to let you know I see you… and hear you… in your extra struggles. Guess we are in this together to do the absolute BEST we can to continue on in recovery. Sending a hug. I always feel encouraged by Jim’s videos. ☮️☮️❤️❤️

@@eileen945 thank you Eileen for your encouragement, life is difficult at the moment & that has sent me into a trajectory of fear & symptoms x

[@HefinaHughes]

Hi Joanne. I hope Jim responds to your comment. I’m in a similar situation to you. I hate seeing loved one’s suffering, the emotions linked to that have caused me to have a flare up of symptoms and my baseline has dropped loads so now I also have less energy and strength to do anything and everything. Keep strong, believe in mind body recovery, follow Jim’s advice and hopefully we will get there. ❤🙏

Another great video that I def needed to hear today…thanks, Jim!

[@bethhenderson9154]

Excellent!

[@סימהשלום]

We will not dare to lean, unless we know that there is a support... Thank you🙏🏼

[@TeresaWalters-zq3mt]

Fantastic teaching here! Must watch again for reinforcement.

[@AnnaVallin-Hogland]

This is so true! With LC I experience a lot of tremor, mostly just the head but also the whole body starts to shake. And always when I go see the doctor, or PT, or psychologist. Then when I'm back in the car, it stops... Trying to figure it all out why this is the case, but also saying to myself that I'm safe and secure, nothing to be afraid of. It's a battle. Thanks for all your help and support!! 🙏🏻🌷

[@fifiearthwanderer]

No wonder. I had fear of everything and general unease about all situations I went into and I was afraid of the sensations and didnt want to feel them so I stuffed them down now I have so many psychosomatic symptoms and freeze respons. Hard to even be able to be there for my brain i dont know if i should tend to symptoms or the insecurities?

[@liezlmouton9098]

You’re not alone, I feel the same

[@tlynnven]

Thank you for this video! I am currently working on insecurity issues now and I’m in the inner healing group at church. I’ve been having chronic dizziness since my mother passed away almost 2 years ago, and I was recently diagnosed with dysautonomia and vestibular dysfunction and I still have rocking and swaying because of the fear that I have. I still don’t feel safe in my body anymore so this resonates with me so well on how I need to Remind my body that I am safe and teach my brain that I am safe

[@slee7991]

Do you mind if I ask what your inner healing group at church is? Never heard of one

[@tlynnven]

@ It is a small group over 13 weeks where we heal from past emotional wounds, often through prayer, sharing personal experiences. Healing mind, body and spirit.

[@slee7991]

@@tlynnven wow I wonder how it was started. Thats awesome they do that for members. Ive only ever seen individual prayer or the come recieve your healing seminars which don't work for everyone. Its nice to hear a TMS approach which calming down limbic/past hurts strongholds in a church. Idk if you've seen Brea Katrin on youtube here but she's the only super christian brain retraining gal I've come across.

[@tamararichardson3986]

So good Jim!!!!

[@dariam4246]

Thank you!

[@Kiki-sv8gl]

How can I heal from head tension and sleep problems 😢😢😢😢I can’t deal with it. Too much pain

[@bg5760]

I hear practitioners talk about TMS as though it’s either structural or mental. Can’t it be both? Example, TMS can lead to autoimmune disease with physical changes. I believe I have something like that going on and I’m looking for guidance through it. Maybe I’m not hearing what’s actually being said. Can you clarify? Thanks
