How recovery from chronic dizziness REALLY looks (it's probably NOT what you think)- mentor panel

[@janiceince1965]

I told my therapist that I figured out that I can be happy anyway....what a great epiphany... It made a difference.

[@eileen945]

To everyone here… I have the utmost respect and COMPASSION for. I’m 70… and this has been my life as well. I can relate to all. For me, Decades of “STUFF” to unravel, LEARN AND FEEL! To KRISTIAN❤❤… i send you a very “ SPECIAL” and sincere love energy . MANY MANY things you said about yourself… have been me too. It’s quite the journey i am in too, and I’m sending a BIG HUG. If I could .. dear man, I would sit with you and a cup of tea and share our story and be safe. We are ALL amazing humans with so much to share❤ Thank you EVERYONE!!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Wish I could sit and have the cup of tea with both of you, Eileen.

[@Amanda-Mason]

Wow, just realizing how my mind is affecting my body... I agree that I was wired for this from such a young age. Always been a nervous person...

[@rachellucas5269]

LOVED this!! As someone who is WAY better but not fully recovered yet, this makes all the difference in the world. Sometimes hearing success stories from people who are fully recovered seems unreachable for me. But these folks in the video, you are my people!! It helps me to know that I am normal. I have so much of my life back it’s amazing. But I’m still on my journey towards full recovery. I know for me, this is exactly right. But I can’t tell you how important it is to know that that’s normal and that I’m not alone. This is one of the most important videos you have made yet!

[@BlessedKarma10]

This was great Dr Yo. Good to see familiar faces, thsnkyou everyone😊. Im 17 months in. I found you a year ago and have made SIGNIFICANT healing in that time. Im back to doing things I never thought I would do again. However, im not where I want to be in the healing process, im a long hauler healer😅 and thats ok because I recognise the trauma that got me here will take more than watching a video. Keep going everyone, this time last year i coukdnt drive, walk properly, see properly and had so many symptoms including agoraphobia. Two weeks ago I was on a plane! You can do it ❤

[@margiadams9451]

Thank you Dr Yo and all of you! I am off into the sunset after 15 months of sharing this growth experience with all of you! So many pieces to this puzzle have been put in place and You have given me the tools to go back out into the world and I appreciate that so much! I definitely could not have done this without being part of the VIP group because none of this was part of my “vocabulary”! I am so much better and the part that remains is annoying, as Andy said, and I can deal with that! And I do expect it will complete subside! A different “me” has definitely come out the other side of this and that was so necessary!!!! I am forever grateful Dr Yo!

Dr Yo, Kristian, Scott, Elizabeth Ron and Andy I am so privileged to know you all. Thank you all for sharing your wisdom and courage with me. Three years ago I would not have believed I would even understand what you are talking about. Today I am so grateful that I do.

[@lynnnestor7985]

Oh Dr Yo again right on strategy point bringing together a panel of eager “I’m still in training” wise souls. Most of the community that need the insights are STILL working on honouring who they are + finding peace through the fear. This format, content and the experience of coregulation was magical with real sincerity + generosity.

[@sheryllawrence2870]

Dr. Yo, I’ve been following you on KZbin for a few months now. I am going on 10 years with symptoms. Your sincerity, genuineness, and compassion are what make you so special. This panel is great and would love to see more of these! Appreciate everyone sharing their stories.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Oh Sheryl, thank you so much. That means a lot to me. ❤️

Dr Yo this is your best video! All of these folks are heroes. Love the format. This is a testimony on strong people are. I hope you can do many more of these.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Thank you for that, David. They are some of the most extraordinary and courageous people I’ve ever met.

[@davidcammilleri5526]

@@TheSteadyCoach well include yourself. From everything I have learned you are a trail blazer. Keep fighting the fight. This impacts alot more people than we all realize. My doctor said that he sees 3-4 people a week who talk about strange dizziness. You’re saving people’s lives. BTW there was a comment about being a “Jerk” in a video. I have to say that changed everything for me. It hit me right in the head. I needed to hear that. Well done.

[@robinvanlandingham9799]

It’s been awhile but I still check in with this community and refer people to it. Continuing to manage my own PPPD and appreciate Dr Yo and all the folks on this journey! What a lovely group of people on this episode sharing their story and new beliefs about recovery. Thank you all!

[@AlenaWatts]

Thank you for this!! I relate to all of these situations. It is comforting to know I’m not alone and that I’m normal in this recovery process.

What amazing, and wonderful dr, and soul is dr Yo,God bless you for all yours effort

[@davidrager8813]

I appreciate the individuals who took the time to make this video and my heart goes out to each of you. I have been having sensations for 20+ years (I am 43 years old....so really about half my life. My 30s consisted of very intense sensations that were life altering and almost life ending. I have been on the mind body path for 2+ years. I have made significant progress, but how I feel on a daily basis is far from "normal". I have not really reached the point of thankfulness for what I have gone through, but hopefully I will reach that at some point. I am thankful this episode is real about what "recovery" looks like for many on this path. So many of the testimonials are the I am fully recovered in 3 months to a year. I think this is the case for some, but not the average. It also appears many never reach full revocery but instead adjust their lives to cope with what remains. This is nothing more than my observations. Prayers for each of you on this journey.

[@Super-lucky-7777]

Thank you all, Kristian's story really made me listen hard because I've been looking deeply within and Im sure ive never been fully relaxed anywhere in life and that mean physically also, I got some good tips from the panel too.

[@lizk2008]

This was so awesome. I love the success stories but I could relate to these five individuals on a much deeper level as I'm deep in moving from "knowledge hamster" to doing the inner work, and acknowledge and accept that my healing journey is rooted is a lot of past trauma, personality traits and behaviors. I'm changing as a person day by day from the inside out. One question I'd have as a follow up is how the people around you responded as you transformed and what, if any, was the impact on your social/family circle? Much ❤all five of you and Dr. Yo.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Excellent follow up question! Maybe we need to do another panel.

[@porschajenkins1822]

Thank you so much Dr. Yo and everyone who participated in this! I know i have come such a long way but then begin to doubt my recovery with some of the sensations that i have been having recently. I have to be more forgiving of myself and remind myself that while these sensations are annoying that i am safe. These sensations no longer rule my life they are no longer my entire focus. I am doing the work and i will be okay. This was absolutely what i needed right now. So grateful to have someone like Dr. Yo to bring people like myself together to discuss this and know we are not alone.

[@mindyli5974]

great video to see how everyone is still getting through it but just the mindset shifts create so much power in ur hands again. i wanted to know how to manage the sensations or the anxiousness when you have events coming up and need to go on a long drive like just thinking about all that is making me so tense again

[@mattp5305]

Brilliant, very helpful thank you. I have chronic dizziness that waxes and wanes. I have an overseas family event that would require a long international flight. Going is not absolutely essential, but highly desirable. Does anyone have any thoughts on to what extent it is possible to get through a long flight, with strategies, medication. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Matt

I’m not sure if any of these people would be looking to take on mentors but I would love to talk to Ron if he’s willing to! I’m also in the spectrum which adds another level to this journey

[@emilymwaki7375]

“The symptoms aren’t the problem. They’re just a bid for your attention, a demand for your attention. The conversation that follows from that is what recovers about. It’s not about silencing the alarm… it’s about understanding.” ❤ Thank you all. Also, “yes to snot” is your apparel like Dr. Yo. Get the copyright 😂

Hi Dr. Yo! I bought blue light blocker glasses for my light sensitivity @ work. Do you think it is a good idea to wear them when on computers/phones etc? I don't want to rely on them but they are helping a tiny bit! 🤗😏ALSO- Great video, as always!!! ("Yes to snot!" LMAO)

[@TheSteadyCoach]

It's ok to wear them at work! View them as an act of deliberate self compassion. I would try not to increase the wear time unless you have to.

[@katherineyanes9059]

Thank you for sharing❤ Question; If the problem is coming from the nervous system would a chiropractor help ?

[@julievogel3752]

I go to a chiropractor (who specialises in McTimoney) & I have found it to be very helpful.

[@katherineyanes9059]

@julievogel3752 what is Mc timoney?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I don’t typically recommend physical remedies. There is nothing wrong with chiropractic work, but it often reinforces that there is something “wrong” with you.

[@caal8663]

hey dr yo when you and those who have recovered talk about working on your inner emotions how exactly can i do this? my dizziness began after a sudden panic attack where i thought i was having a medical emergency which for me was quite traumatic and i don’t think i’ve allowed myself to process what happened but instead try to ignore and hope it all goes away. What is the best way to process this event inside of of my emotions to tell me brain that i am no longer in danger and safe? thank you

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Great question. This is a bit complicated and it takes me 12 weeks to explain this process in my coaching group!! But if I were to sum it up, start with RIGHT NOW. People sometimes have a mistaken belief that we are trying to go back to the past to fix something so that everything can be ok right now. What really matters is what’s happening right now (the past can be a component of that). By starting to relate to symptoms and emotions differently TODAY, you’re giving your brain alternative ways of processing what happened back then and what’s happening now. This might be a good place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b366fHtujbSieZosi=yzkG39YkgijmH6zo

[@janelleberteau5672]

I am glad you brought up the topic of emotions and the response by Dr. Yo with the link to the video about managing emotions was so helpful, too. Thank you!

Yes, the mentors work within the coaching program so people get support from multiple sources.

[@praveenmoorthy-z5f]

everyones too old for me i feel too young to have this condition im only 23 with 3pd

[@lorcashine]

One of the speakers, I think Kristian, related he had had dizziness from about your age (if you subtract the 20 years or so he mentioned from his age). I've had it for at least 16 years, since before I was 50. Not 23, but I had chronic pain at 23 which later turned into this, so you definitely aren't the only one. Some of the other videos (success stories) feature much younger people. Try looking for those. For me, this was more encouraging as I feel like my neural pathways are really burned in after so long... Also, no matter the age, the symptoms cause many of the same issues. You're in a great place to work on it before it gets so bad, and you can save and improve many decades for yourself.

[@lizk2008]

@@lorcashine Agree 100%. The symptom that brought me here on this journey hit me when I was 50, but I realize now I had mind-body symptoms starting in my teens and checked off over 16 symptoms over the course of three decades; I wish I knew about this a lot sooner.
