Can Messages of Safety Help Any Type of Illness or Symptom?

[@Inge508]

My late grandmother WAS a message of safety ! For herself and radiating it to others! She had a saying :only calm can safe us! She became 96 years old, no surgeries, no accidents, no depression or anxiety, in good health ! Although she went with 2 wars,became widow at 40,lost a child and grandchild. I see her love and calmness reflected in you Dan! Thanks for the reassuring video ❤

Sometimes all we need is a medical professional to tell us we’re going to be ok. But when we have strange sensations they have no clue what we’re talking about, it creates fear that we will never feel better. Sometimes people need a “you’ll be ok in 10 weeks” response.

[@PainFreeYou]

Some doctors have no clue. Such a shame.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

“I am Safe”. One of the most beneficial thoughts we can believe..for Everything! Scientists say there are places in our brain that Light up when we think we are Safe and Free. Very important to our Well-being! 😊❤

Your reassurance always helps me Dan. I had an interesting win the other day. I felt an ocean of fear surface within me when I was meditating. The fear was around finances, and what happened to my symptoms? They spiked! I call this a win because it’s my first direct linkage with a particular fear activating the symptoms. Not fear of walking, standing or any other movement. My subconscious fears surfacing. Symptoms still high two days later but it’s TEMPORARY. I’ve stayed mostly calm and curious with moments of “freaking out less”. Love to all ❤

[@PainFreeYou]

Thank you for sharing that experience. Great connecting of the dots. It's all connected.

It’s amazing how difficult it is to fully let this message of safety set in and take hold. Also crazy how much anxiety and TMS are intertwined.

[@thelaceygirl]

Agreed! My anxiety has been off the charts since starting this TMS work. Unfortunately my physical symptoms have not improved that much yet either :(

[@PainFreeYou]

So true. Under my definition of perceived danger pain or symptoms - it's all driven by the brain perceiving danger. Anxiety is just another symptom of a brain on high alert. Treatment is the same. Safety. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6ucdq1qbrJrf8k

[@LL-pk2uu]

@@PainFreeYou, thank you, Dan. I have made the decision severe anxiety, panic, etc. IS obviously some form or another of perceived danger. I am so darn over all diagnoses, “disorders,” “syndromes,” etc. that all the doctors and therapists have given me for nearly 30 years. I’m working on throwing thise labels out because they have become my identity, and I say “NO!” I thank you for your daily videos, your support, clarity, everything. ❤️

You are right. Perceived Danger is the cause. Safety is the solution. @@LL-pk2uu

[@deelicious1610]

I stubbed my toe. It started stinging immediately. I told myself that pain is just a thought and went on with what I was doing. The pain went away almost instantly and never returned. I used this again when I injured my finger with the same result!! I was even able to later pull off the rolled up skin and felt nothing! ❤❤❤

[@ShirleyMartin-lp2or]

Love what you constantly reinforce, and there’s so often just a little gem that rings a bell and relates to me. This time, it’s that first reaction- ouch- as it’s so intense. I’m so learning to very quickly pick up and relax and send the safety messages. Love it, and love what you’re teaching me!! I’m on my way, I know it🎉🥳♥️

Keep at it. Patterns can be broken with accurate information, awareness and decision.

[@craig6460]

You got a much needed laugh out of me today. Absopositivolutely 😅 Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome has hammered my mental health. Thank you for being there throughout my journey to keep my mindset in tact. Hoping to get surgery soon. TMS makes my condition worse. You've helped me enormously with these videos to keep a lid on it. Once I'm able, I'd love to connect properly in some way. Not quite up to the group calls yet. Thank you, Dan.

[@laurabehenna7950]

Wishing you well, Craig.

[@PainFreeYou]

Hey Craig: Any time people spell out their medical diagnosis I feel compelled to see if they have done the TMS assessments to see how your pain behaves. That is much more important than the medical label given a condition. Have you taken the pain test? YourPainTest.com What's your score? Sometimes it's possible to have structural abnormalities on imaging studies, but what is seen is often not the cause of the symptoms. It's well worth evaluating the symptoms to be sure.

[@katrinat.3032]

I think you make a good point. You can have a true physical problem AND TMS

[@Alicia-gj2nl]

Iv got to say, this is the best information iv ever heard, your so right, no matter what's wrong it never helps to worry and stress out your body. Thank you very much x

[@PainFreeYou]

As doctor Sarno said, pain from TMS can far exceed traditional injuries or physical problems.

[@Bachconcertos]

I had to look ve in survival mode for so long - my brain is on constant hypervigilence. Yes it is perceived danger - but even pilots have to remain calm when here is mechanical problems with the plane in order to land safely - the pilots calm increases the chances of everyone's survival.

[@PainFreeYou]

Great analogy. So true too.

[@tammyrichards9901]

We had that here in Albany NY as well

[@troutfisher7182]

Your correct in that panic never helps, but what about people who are living in perpetually dangerous, unsafe living conditions, like living under a military occupation, war zones, perpetual survival situations, like homeless people sleeping on the street. People can learn to be calm in the moment, on the surface, but it takes enormous amounts of energy to do so. The body is always always on alert, listening for the next bomb to drop. Safety, or truly feeling safe, is kind of a luxury not everyone can access. I'm thinking about several homeless people in my town who experience severe chronic pain

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

There are situations in life where we absolutely need our fight/flight autonomic nervous systems to survive.

[@troutfisher7182]

@@NicoleFitnessKZbin But how do people who live in perpetual survival situations deal with TMS pain, which so many of the homeless deal with?

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

@@troutfisher7182 There are situations where safety may not be available - but those are situations where we need our fight/flight systems to be vigilant. Being in a war zone is dangerous - our survival system has to function properly in order to protect us. TMS is about experiencing chronic symptoms because of bad information - the absence of real danger.

[@troutfisher7182]

@@NicoleFitnessKZbin i understand that but there are many homeless people who are dealing with text book TMS symptoms. I guess they are doomed to their chronic pain

[@PainFreeYou]

We can still be vigilant to real danger, yet teach our brains that we do NOT need physical pain as a result. I don't believe anyone is doomed. This fast start playlist will give you a deeper insight to what is going on and what to do about it. kzbin.info/aero/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H

I’d be interested in your take on brain injuries- strokes etc. I had a decompression surgery two years ago for my chiari malformation that has severely affected my body. On top of that I have some pretty intense anxiety and impaired nervous system function. Do you think this work is still useful for me? Even as I typed that I know, for me, the answer is yes, but I’d still like to hear your take on brain related injuries. Thanks so much for everything you do 🎉

[@rachelolson]

Hey Dan! Love your content. Encourages me daily! What might you say to this thought: panic/worry can *sometimes lead us to get the help we need. For example, if I have TMS and get a new pain and ignore it, what if it’s actually something? I’ve had this scenario happen which is why I’m asking. That instinctual “something is wrong” cant always be ignored, Can it? Id love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

[@PainFreeYou]

No - I never suggest we ignore anything. We evaluate if something seems significant and if yes, we get a medical evaluation to rule out anything life threatening. Then, we rule in TMS/PDP with assessments. www.PainFreeYou.com/start

Hi. What about eyes symptoms like blepharitis or MGD?Are there people who healed those symptoms with TMS approach? I would like hear successes stories about those kind of symptoms😊

[@PainFreeYou]

I don't have anyone who has taken the time to do a success story, but as mentioned in the video, the immune system and sometimes other bodily functions are suppressed when in fight or flight. This can allow symptoms like those you describe. I have gotten blocked oil glands which has cause a stye in my eye a few times. Warm compresses with massaging daily often resolves this challenge. Dry eyes and dry mouth can also resolve - thus proving the mindbody connection.

[@fullypersuaded2952]

I literally moved across the country to get away from a lot of family members that kept me in a constant state of panic and triggered me all the time. There was no working with it because I had tried. I had to accept that toxic is toxic… And truly after so much prayer, and counseling, I realized the best thing to do was to walk away. We have some contact with some of those family members now, but we make sure it stays very limited. It wasn’t good for me, or my marriage, or my children to be in close contact with these people. I realize not everybody can make that choice… But at the same time, it’s possible for most people if you’re willing to make the effort. I guess it also helps that I didn’t actually like the state that I lived in LOL
