Your videos have stopped me from going to the ER in a panic several times now

Woo HOO! 🎉

Oh yes I have been there too and you feel like such a fraud to when they wheel the car accident victim past you.❤ be gentle with yourself.

“You’re body is not involved, that’s your brain projecting it on your body.”Wow! That’s golden! Thank you.

Tomorrow is my last physical therapy appointment. I am going to cancel it. I am convinced my pain is TMS. Hoping for the best. Thanks for the video.

[@sheryl318]

PT was actually making me feel worse

[@bethmulligan1]

This statement is a game changer;"Don't make getting rid of symptoms your life's mission; make life your life's mission"!!! That really got me. Plus yee teaching the brain takes work, sometimes it's hard, but boy is it easier than what I was doing before/ Thank you- love you

Yes its a gem !

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

Amen! You are correct!

[@KateAdams-kg5eq]

Thank you

[@alyeskakochanek]

Thank you Dan for the reminder that this process doesn't have to be complicated. I often find myself getting overwhelmed thinking about all the things I need to "do" to address symptoms (how to respond to thoughts, send messages of safety, etc.). Your statement that we should focus more on living life is what I will hold on to and remember in those moments!

[@HobzyMcRuse]

I agree 100% Dan but right for the last few days my Fibromyalgia (PDP) is at a 10. Everything hurts: head, back, arms, legs, gut, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, brain fog and headaches - unbearable! I just feel that at times like these it's too big to overcome even though I know it's TMS.

[@HobzyMcRuse]

Thank you for the positivity! I try not to complain too much but this week has been tough. Normally I can get the symptoms to calm down to a tolerable level through breathing and other techniques but right now my head is a volcano. Still hoping to get everything down to zero some day. Wishing you all full recovery too.@@Inge508

Hi Dan therefore I call symptoms SIGNALS makes sense right.. Love you Dan and everyone else a big hug and smile from me 😘😁❤️

[@dariam4246]

Me too, I call the sensations false signals in the brain. It helps me distance myself from what’s going on in my body.

[@naturegirl4074]

It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. And we are all worth it.

[@sallyfoley5451]

It makes perfect sense Dan. Thank you so, so much! I tried Dr Shubiner's programme, but I just got very confused and more stressed (although I have a great deal of respect for him). It just didn't work for me, too much shit in my past, and I instinctively knew it wasn't going to calm my nervous system down. Your message, that all you have to do is give your brain consistent messages of safety, even when in pain, made sense. My nights can still be painful off and on, but it really doesn't make sense for my post surgical foot pain pain to ramp up when I have my feet up, wear socks or normal shoes, or walk barefoot. Two sets of MRIs have failed to explain this. The pain and sensitivity, whilst I was pandering to my brain's fear, just got worse and worse. I love walking, I did enjoy dancing. I'm sticking with your principles now until I can do both painlessly, however long it takes! Thank you again for showing me the way so clearly.

[@jamesroof6150]

Some very practical advice. Some many of us; including me, live in a near constant mental state of fear, fight or flight. For me, physical pain defintely increases when in a state of fear and panic and decreases when I feel relaxed and calm. Practice feeling calm everyday. Practice feeling safe everyday. I wish we all find safety and comfort in our hearts, mind, emotions and spirit. 15:37 Helpful content in this video. Thanks🙏♥️

Your videos are saving people’s lives. You’re a hero. Hell of a life’s calling!! 💜💜

[@NEChristo]

I’ve done the assessment like 5 times now lol and I fit the profile perfectly even going back 35 years. I’ve always internalized emotions into sickness and physical pain, that is plain to see. Yet I have had very intense pelvic /groin pain for almost 3 years now that has not acted the same as any other chronic pain in my life. It’s unrelenting, more constant, much more life altering. I’m slowly getting there convincing myself that it’s also PDP. One remaining doubt that seems to be holding me back - is ALL chronic pain PDP? I keep thinking yeah but surely there are people in chronic pain that actually have a physical reason behind the pain…isn’t arthritis painful? Isn’t a trapped nerve painful? You see where I am going. Sometimes there is a physical issue right? All chronic pain can’t be generated only by the brain perceiving danger can it? This is keeping me stuck….

[@sharonwakefield5810]

I realized few weeks back that my upper body muscles get tense and it bends down when I start to feel anxious. Straightening my back makes me feel a lot better and breathing becomes easier

[@merildo]

I’m 100% on this Dan. I’m old. It’s slow. But it works. But may I ask if anyone else here has chronic migraines which . Like mine which wake me every morning. You have given me your best I know Dan. But migraines do seem to be resistant. And I’m asleep when they hit. I know Alan Gordon says they are tricky. So wondering if any of these lovely people here have any advice. Migraines are TMS but not a glimmer. YET. Thanks Dan. Good video. X

[@marthalobos6373]

Thanks! Years ago I was having chronic back pain due, I thought, to my practice as a dentist. I bought Dr.Sarno’s book in spite of the title that seemed to be fake or simpleton. When I finished reading it -in one night- I HAD NOT MORE PAIN…. for months….. BUT… we humans have the bad habit of forgeting useful things that worked. Tonight I found this video and… THANKS…. I will address my “peripheral neuropathy” pain. BLESSINGS FROM ARGENTINA.

Right now not an easy task dan my dear friend when we accept it by heart float the symptoms in calm way. And as you said send msg to mind I m fine I m ok then symptom gais away

[@MIKELPN]

Learning this too. My neck pitch nerve my brain tells there’s a danger and increase my anxiety and panic. I just need to embrace the pain and mediate.

[@vladyslavlevenets]

Hey Dan, I am happy that i've found this channel even though I am not suffering from physical pain, but more from mental stress and I would like to know if you're going to talk more about this topic of mental suffering such as anxiety, stress, depression, fear etc. p.s. Already saw few videos about anxiety and stress on this channel so that I hope to find a way to overcome and eliminate these things out of my daily life which are pretty exhausting. Thank you for everything you're doing !

[@PainFreeYou]

Everything I speak about regarding pain applies equally to mental health and stress. Teach your brain that these things are not dangerous. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXPIlKKBZ9Bsac0

[@vwebz]

Hi Dan, I’d love to know your thoughts on allergies, mold, etc. a curious thing occurs many times I’m at my parents in California that I’ll wake up most mornings with 2-3 hours of allergies (a conditioned response I’m feeling because it largely only happens in the mornings.) When I’m at my own place in New York I don’t have that same response for the most part (outside from fall time or “cold weather”). I’m wanting to relocate back to CA but the morning allergies have been frustrating and feel a distraction to my work so the ego is telling me it’s not possible to thrive here. I asked them to get the place tested for mold in the past and there was minor amounts but they didn’t check the actual infrastructure for it. The mind is telling me this is because of mold and dust. They won’t check for mold or get rid of their carpets and old furniture. I’m doing my best to tell myself this is perceived danger and the sensations are really frustrating me.

[@tammyrichards9901]

So my question is when you say the brain is perceiving danger say when I have a bowel issue sometimes I have pain sometimes I don't I think I'm going to have to join the group call to get clarity

[@thewaterprophet6880]

“Enjoying himself” 🤔😉❤️😂 enjoyment and love are the solution we know

[@Harry-zz8qn]

Interesting

[@marketa4074]

Hi Dan can I have a question? I met someone a few days ago and the encounter mad me feal fearful. And because of that I felt a lot of anger. That day I let my anger out once I was alone and safe, but I wondered if that was the right response. I wondered that maybe such a reaction only strenghtens and enables the fear for the next time? I thought a better response might have been to remain calm and ignore the intrusive thoughts? Could you tell me what do you think is better?

[@desireebattles9336]

I just can't seem to master this concept with a 3 day killer migraine, how do I get to the point of not caring about the pain when I cannot function cuz the pain is s intense and then I end up taking my migraine pill and the migraine goes away but then I am left with the heinous side effects of the meds, what am I doing wrong?

[@CaraCurtis-lv8nc]

I'm with you. I have continuous migraine. It's really challenging

[@cforat]

Migraines are tough. My feelings of safety are increased if I have effective meds. My fav is one the that doctors seem to have forgotten: fiorinal. Works great when taken early with only some drowsiness. (Apologies if this comment is out of line.)

[@user-dianejcml]

With migraines, it is very hard to ignore the pain and move around as usual. I get them for days too with intense nausea. I just try to not engage my triggers. I tell my brain that trigger ie., sugary thing I want is not worth it. I feel that sense of safety with my meds and peppermint oil, cbd balm. And I feel much calmer with a med change. Found one that doesn't make me feel like roadkill after.

[@lorrainebrown7263]

This talk also makes me think there is a separate “me” that exists somewhere between the brain and body. The soul? - I hope I am more than just this currently dysfunctional body / brain relationship - I hope we all are.

[@BrownBoy-si5xz]

Hey Dan i saw your website. My question is not about pain. How did you fix the body deformity. I saw your body shaped was messed up . How did you fix that along with pain?

How about fear of sickness..i couldnt think more..i couldnt even get out of ruminating..i feel numb and worthless

[@naturegirl4074]

Didn’t think about doing the pain test for individual pains 😅 Thanks as always Dan. I’m curious about the questions on the fit test, for example have you been diagnosed with degeneration? Why is this asked, what does it say out of curiosity? I have degeneration in my hips and spine.

[@pattyboucetta1897]

I have a job that I see many young people’s medical records. Degeneration starts for everyone in their 20s-30s. The term is really not appropriate. Degeneration is viewed as negative. It’s not. Dr. Sarno said these are normal changes! So don’t listen to these doctors. They have been taught wrong (on purpose but that’s info is for another conversation!).

[@naturegirl4074]

@@pattyboucetta1897 Yes, I’m trying not to read too much into my hEDS diagnosis either. Supposedly it causes early degeneration. But I’m tired of these labels and I’m sure tired of worrying zane making more pain for myself. Thank you for the explanation. My L5/S1 is completely gone. It’s weird.

[@juliarobinson5435]

I'm new to this channel and it's very interesting. But what if its a structural problem and not a brain problem am I doomed? What advice is there for structural pain?

[@PainFreeYou]

What if it's not a structural problem? Take the pain test to figure out what is going on in your situation. YourPainTest.com Most people have abnormalities in their bodies. What is the structural problem you believe you have? This video on Normal Abnormalities addresses this very topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIWck2WnltuWd9E

[@juliarobinson5435]

I've taken the pain test and scored 23 out of 50. It says it's possible I can be helped although over 30 they can definitely be helped. I have arthritis and a foot condition which is progressive. The pain is the worst I've ever felt, structural pain. And much worse than the fybromyalgia pain I have too.

Your subconscious is picking up your fear. I need to get fitter but fear of after pain is high. Before I even leave the house to visit the pool, my brain throws out random sensations. I haven't actually got in the pool yet😂 work in progress.

[@w.b.8341]

Question: what if a heat pack helps to lose the knots in the neck/back .... What message is this sending to your brain❓So the real question: stop with the 🔥 or is it okay to soothe the brain? (My brain is very powerful: went to dentist for root canal with left side of face all puffy and numb... He knows about my TMS and yep it eas my mis informed brain. We had a laugh about my disappointment that I had no root canal problem😂). "Do NOT make your life about getting rid of the symptoms" ❣️ love that. Thank you 🙏

Everything makes sense and is great! ❤️ But how to live life and go out doing thongs while agonising pain which stop you from even moving?

My pain has zero to do with perceived danger. I broke my neck; the foramen on that vertibrae are distorted raw bone and rub against the nerve My pain isn't a misinterpretation of anything on any level. Cells are destroyed anew daily Should I have accepted your message, I would now be victim blaming myself for not "getting" your "wisdom"

Well then your pain is structural, not TMS……so if it doesn’t apply to you why are you watching and criticizing?

I wish you the best in finding relief. Dan has a questionnaire that he refers to often and you would clearly not fit as a mind/body pain case.

[@sunnyromano6862]

Read Dr Sarno's books

[@PainFreeYou]

Hey Jim. I'm sorry you've had such a terrible accident. There is a big difference between acute pain and chronic pain. Just curious, how long ago was the neck break? Was the spinal cord damaged? I never said injuries don't happen. They sure do. But injuries do heal. How come yours hasn't? Did the doctors tell you that your break will never heal due to this constant tissue damage from the cells being destroyed daily and you will have pain forever? Your pain does still have to do with the brains perception of danger. All pain is created in the brain. Even structural pain. The brain senses this rubbing on a nerve and the brain must interpret that as dangerous to decide to turn on pain to protect you from using your neck too much. Pain is always a warning signal. In chronic pain, it is often a false alarm. Have you watched my fast start playlist? DansFastStart.com If this concept that's been around for decades isn't relevant to you, feel free to disregard. I'm just trying to help as many people as I can. I wish you all the best either way.
