I need a little Dan sitting on my shoulder every day, so he could call me and remind me I'm ok and safe when things get overwhelming.

[@katrienkrul]

You could put a yellow "Dan band" around your wrist for example, everytime you see it, it will remind you of Dan's wonderful messages and support.

Dan has a video on " TMS Lose the fear, Lose the pain." Check it out, it will help.

[@Josh-if7to]

Somatic tracking might help you desensitise yourself to the symptoms.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

After a busy day yesterday it seems my brain has upped the sensations to keep me indoors 🙄. Anyway despite feeling heavy headed (have ear infection) I've got up the shop and into the park for a walk. Refusing to go home, I'm safe. Great video 🙏 Life is always gonna throw something at us so best to just get on out

[@daynemin]

Lately for my understanding it's been a past experience, a chronic belief is formed creating chronic emotion, brain reacts fight, flight or freeze mode activated and blood flow allocated for safety. Quite often I've found I can meet all sensations as they are, information is revealed. Sometimes I'll think when I'm triggered and imagine how a frightened child would be perceiving this situation.

[@sgmf9410]

could you please talk more about how to lower fear of symptoms themselves? thank you for everything you do

[@TheHolisticPaul]

What helped me overcome the fear over time was that the symptoms were being caused by my brain perceiving danger. Once I accepted that, my fear began to fade away.

[@SusieV59]

Thanks Dan for putting a library of video's together for us to go to anytime to put out spot fires and flare ups. Besides your dailies, I go to that library some days to watch or listen to 1 or 2 of them that answer any questions or queries I have. I also have an old poem I go to that encourages me. "Don't Quit" Sending blessings to you all.

[@user-ok9wz9uy6y]

I love that poem 💗 My aunt gave it to me years ago and I had forgotten about it. When you mentioned it, it was almost as of she was speaking to me. Thank You !!!

Ty another great video 📹 had lunch with my girlfriend today so nice now anorher big flare why? I dont know and i dont care 😊. Sometimes i fear the symptoms i have to say but not today 😁 i believe my brain is scared of everything. Teaching my brain that i am safe is my priority number 1 . Love you Dan relate to all your list 😒❤

[@eviemorgs]

I believe our own fearful and self critical thoughts stemming from low self esteem are the biggest culprit

Hello from the PNW 👋 I'm somewhat new to this channel. I'm finding many of the videos very helpful. Thank you 😊

[@wednesdayschild3627]

Sometimes i fear making a mistake in public. I am not sure what to do when I fear every twinge. I had a heart attack 3 years ago, with one risk factor, high ldl. I went to er quickly and there is no damage. Now I feel every twinge. My symptoms were not that bad when I had the attack. And no the heart attack was prior to any med or shot. I go out to exercise daily, but I feel fear.

[@Lenneke8422]

I had a heart attack 6 yrs ago before my symptoms started ❤

[@annquinn6780]

Please Dan ,do something about heart palpitations , missed beats etc . If we’ve been checked and told it’s not imminently dangerous , it can still terrify and be exacerbated by the fear. Cardiac phobia is a massive problem for so many people.

[@MsTara007]

Very helpful video, great to hear examples of what we perceive as danger!

[@Jeronimo365]

That’s a great question, and a great answer. 🙏

[@Thebetterkeepsgettingbetter]

Ty Dan. So much to chill out on❤

[@josiejo117]

Huge thanks for such an all inclusive, comprehensive list. The mind can come up with a million & 1 "reasons" or stories...but the cause is always the same. Always grateful to you Dan for the daily dose of truth...Love to you all.❤

[@lovetohike]

I keep trying to figure out why. Overanalyzing food, not going for a walk because of symptoms I get after I stop. I'm trying to move forward and live my life regardless of how I feel. Thanks for your calming words

Hey Dan, thank you so much 🙏. What about a Video about „Not beeing at war with you Symptoms“ , how important it is to see your Symptoms Not as enemies.

[@LisaKuzma]

Thank you! I really needed to hear this! Always helpful. Also for me remind myself that I'm allowed to be happy and feel good

[@bnobel74]

Sarno says its rage in the subconscious mind that causes all the symptoms? Rage we will never feel? I guess we are all looking for the silver Bullitt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chronic pain is another word for suffering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Thebetterkeepsgettingbetter]

That makes sense to me. Ty😊

[@PainFreeYou]

I never found the long lost emotion from my subconscious, yet I got better. SAFETY in the present is predictably turning off symptoms. PainFreeYouSuccess.com - you will not find people claiming that deep emotional work was THE cure.

[@JoanneCrabb-gq8fx]

Good comment. It's fear I think.

[@100hellsonlyangel]

Great video! Thank you. I love the phrase “you are not a special kind of broken, you’re a human being” Please say it more 🎉 Could you do a video on using your approach with mental health symptoms. I experience a lot of paranoia and disorganised thinking/cognitive confusion and it brings in all these reasons (past traumas etc - you can’t do this because a bad thing once happened before..) I can understand it is fear, like the rest of the symptoms but I find it much harder to separate it, I guess because the symptom itself IS my mind/head/cognition, as opposed to my back/leg etc. It would be helpful to see a video on this directly - mostly because your voice and energy is so reassuring, and I know if I had symptoms and I can’t calm myself down, I can play your voice saying ‘you’re not a special kind of broken’ over and over it just works 😂

[@100hellsonlyangel]

Just to add, the paranoia can be from “oh my friends hate me” to tin foil hat style beliefs about the world that the world as a whole and society as a whole is “dangerous” and not worth participating in. Those are the bad days…other times I’m very happy to be here with my friends and animals etc, but when the fear comes up in that way it becomes more scary because I’m confused, or I believe the thought - does that makes sense?

[@CuriousCattery]

I get this too.. what helps me is to realise it's not really my mind but an automatic thought triggered by the perception of danger. That reflective part that recognises the distortion is the real you.. the initial thought is just an automatic reaction, like the pain or the other symptoms.

[@krisleeh433]

Thank you for teaching!💘

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Thank you!

[@Evelienn17]

Hey Dan😊 Thank you so much again. I was wondering if you could ever talk about the emotion excitement. I know it’s best to allow all the emotions, stay with them, feeling safe within them. But this excitement feels so much like fear, and it generates also the excitement-thoughts which are not that calm/relaxed. I wonder if the prescence of this emotion can still be a signal of safety. A while ago I dived into this brain-retraining program and the host said that we should try to “just for now” not get too excited (as it is so similar to fear and revs up the nervous system), staying calm. This feels like I’m avoiding a part of myself.

[@namefamily1462]

Please tell us history about REACTIVE TINNITUS, thank you!

[@alexandrecouture2462]

I love U-Haul :) Have a great day!

[@cheechcarriero5739]

So true

[@lauraschmuck5565]

Again, Dan, you hit the nail on the head. I have been trying to add exercise and movement back into my life, but I have been noticing that while I do it, I'm thinking is this going to hurt? I go into exercise already fearing this might bring on pain, and guess what? It does. I was actually having a better non pain day and did a little too much because I was feeling better. I have such a disconnect with my body's signals and while I was exercising there were little twinges, but I thought I would continue to do it. I should known better. I need to start slowly because going from not being active to trying to do a full hour of exercise was probably not the best action. I am going to limit myself for now, starting to do only 15 minutes of exercise and build up my strength. I need to really listen to my body instead of jumping the gun and doing it too fast.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

I'm starting with two minutes of exercise lol

[@NEChristo]

The weirdest thing- this past Monday (the day of the US eclipse) I woke up with little to no pain for the first time in years. I was so amazed. Even when my friend texted and said she was in my area and invited me to lunch (which would normally be fear inducing for me) and I went, I still had little to no pain. Later at home I watched the eclipse, went for a walk.. no pain. I was so happy yet that very night and every day since - BOOM pain (very intense pain in pelvic area) back full force. I have zero idea why. For a whole day I had a little hope and now it feels totally dashed. It was a whole new world for one day. I don’t get it at all. What are usual big triggers didn’t affect me at all. Staying at home usually feels safe to me but I’ve been home all week now and have horrible pain in spite of messages of safety. I’m so confused.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

Take what happened as all the proof you need it's a mind body

[@PainFreeYou]

Celebrate the win. That is PROOF your body is not the problem and that you are capable of being pain free. Being destroyed by pain coming back will cause it to stick around longer. Watch this. SUPER Important: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppnSgKSVepuNldU

In the book "The Mindbody Prescription" by Dr John Sarno, he says that tinnitus is in the family of TMS or PDP.

[@CruisingWithElena]

This TMS stuff is tough ok I think I figured it out but waiting to see my symptoms go away is struggle I want to go to dr and hubby is lost I’m just desperate. Tough. One step forward one step back. I feel there’s break-thru I’m good a day next I’m scared.

All the proof you need it's PDP. The doctor visits just feed the fear in my opinion, especially when you know nothing has really happened.

Hi. I m flying back home, Turkey, to have fibromayaljiya &bulging disc treatment. Can't sit much at present, will even take a sleeping pill on the plane as l can't sit for 4hr! My siblings r gonna pay for my treatment despite being in debt themselves! I know this doc puts fibromyalgia patients on gluten free diet.. l m confused, not sure what to do as Dan says 'non gluten free food' will be my new danger.. Any thoughts? Thanks

[@PainFreeYou]

Understanding the true cause of pain is most important. Fibromyalgia is not a real disease and eating gluten free is not the solution. Bulging discs are often not causing pain. Learn what is really going on. DansFastStart.com

[@arzuozkan370]

@PainFreeYou thanx so much for your reply. Things turned upside down when l got diagnosed w bipolar last summer. Had a manic episode and then an awful depressive one when.l thought of committing suicide every day for like 2 months! An awful time. This was when l had my injury which made sitting soo painful. I guess my brain was trying to distract me. I now feel emotionally much better but left with an alarmed nervous system and pains. I have watched your fast start videos and watch the daily ones. Thanks so much Dan. You r a true gem. Xx

[@glennreynolds2557]

I know I’ve asked you this before. But can you make a video on approaching misaphonia?

[@PainFreeYou]

I don't have a lot of experience with that specifically. However, it falls in the realm of what I talk about daily. Simply put, misaphonia is a response to sounds by a brain that is on high alert and perceiving danger. Safety is the solution. Everything I teach applies to you just as much as any other symptom.
