It's All About The Fear!

Chronic Pain is All about the Fear. Fear and attention are what keeps the pain persistent. Once we learn the role of fear, it becomes clear what a priority should be. Reduce the fear.

My whole life has been based on fear. Everything you said is so true. No wonder I hurt so bad.

[@PainFreeYou]

Time to teach yourself to turn down the fear. You can do it. :-)

[@aliveandwell3958]

As uncomfortable as they may be, all is these bodily sensations are perfectly normal. I'm recently realizing how important it is to constantly remind myself of this.

[@PainFreeYou]

Yes

[@sportsinjuries6593]

Excellent video again sir, Mathematically it may be said : Pain becomes chronic for a person when he feels there is more danger than safety in his life ,,, he will only come out of this cycle when he believes there is more safety than danger ,,,

Thank you Paul. I appreciate that.

These POTS type symptoms have me in tears right now. I forced myself to walk around the block despite the scary fatigue and dizziness. I’m still a little freaked out, but I know the more I do this the better. I was so nervous and freaked out by the symptoms that I had decided I’m staying in bed all day and there’s no way I can hang out with my husband. But now watching your video let’s me know i HAVE to go about my normal as much and often as possible. Thank you Dan.

[@PainFreeYou]

You are welcome. Visualize feeling well and walking without symptoms. You can and will do it. See it and be it.

[@aliv83]

I agree with you re nervous system response. I think it has even become like an OCD for me.

[@PainFreeYou]

Calm it down. It's very possible.

So good Dan! Thanks as always. As I mentioned to you in the email, I'm starting to be able to do weight / resistence training again with significantly less pain by teaching my brain it's safe to do so. I've lost the "let's see how my back responds if I do this exercise" approach to "I'm loving exercising again, I'm loving moving in a way that makes me feel good again" and saying that out loud during the sessions. It's so powerful to lose the fear and if I get a symptom, so what, as you always say practise indifference. I can literally feel the body respond to indifference now. So so powerful :)

[@PainFreeYou]

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Indifference is often the key.

Fear & FOCUS!!! ...Like the Rabbit hypnotized by the headlights of a oncoming Truck!😳 You've gotta shift that Focus!🙏🙏🙏👁️...I made it out of Hospital after 2 weeks diagnosed with covid pneumonia! My focus as shifted because though home my breathing is a major issue still.....this is where my focus is now! ...it's a tough way to learn the merits of Focus but you get the point💡...still fascinating as ever to listen to you're knowledge Dan.I think it has far more widespread benefits beyond TMS to be honest.You can apply this to so many distressing life situations.The world is challenging more than ever at the moment & for whatever reasons we find comfort in you're words that gives so many Hope, Strength & positivity it is truly a shelter from the storm to watch you're videos everyday 🙏🌱⛅🌤️☀️

[@PainFreeYou]

Thank you Soul. I'm glad you are out of the hospital. While not an expert, there is something to be said for "long covid" being very much like TMS. The focus on the symptom will keep it persistent. KNOW you are well. Trust the body to recover.

Autosuggestion / Suggestion is indeed a really huge topic for our society and especially for the TMS affected people. TMS is such a strange opportunity to learn a lot of things which are helpful for life itself. I am also so grateful, to find information about TMS - Far away from esoteric stuff. It's all science and real (ie "Curable Health"). That is so powerful. Thank you again for all you do Dan!

Oh I sing a lot and smile since I know you and sooth myself calm myself down and try to be the parent i never had I slept good for a change woke up talked to my brain but then I felt in my stomach the fear talked to my brain again firmly in a leading way... I just asked myself why I am so afraid there is nothing to be scared about I know I have TMS did the work so don't understand what I am in fear just before I wake up I also understand that when I am scared I keep the symptoms going so why am I scared I am not afraid of my pain walk and move around with my dog know that I am totally OK not broken... What else can I do??? Love Lenneke 😘

[@keithlynchmusic]

Thanks as always for your videos Dan. What keeps happening to me over and over again is, I feel like the trend is that I am getting better little by little...but the pain is not gone. One of the things I love to do and have always done in my adult life is exercise. Yesterday I rode my bike down to the beach and back, there are some hills. For the rest of the night and so far today my back has been sore. It appears to me that this is a learned condition, but I don’t know how to not have this be the case. I try all of your suggestions…I never see doctors I only read “ healing back pain” and “unlearn your pain”. I also watch your videos daily. Basically, I live my life. What in the world is it gonna take? Thanks

[@PainFreeYou]

Not giving a shit if you hurt after a bike ride. The most powerful thing you can implement is choosing your response to pain when it happens. Indifference. Literally not caring if you hurt or not. Frustration is not indifference. Care less. Try less. My 2 cents.

[@chichi2472001]

Wow! Thank you. God bless you. I needed to hear this information.

[@PainFreeYou]

You are so welcome.

[@Russellrodberg]

I keep telling myself "get the hell out of FEAR"

[@PainFreeYou]

Arguing is combative. Yelling "get the hell out" seems to be more of a danger signal than one of safety. Just a thought.

[@nathanheiney4168]

I usually never drop comments but I’m so appreciative for the videos that you put out and I just want to thank you and let you know that I have gained tremendously from them!! Also I had a question that I’ve been thinking about for a while and I think it’s appropriate to ask it on this video. I was wondering if I just work on being indifferent and reducing the fear of the pain and don’t do the emotional work such as journaling... would that be enough to eliminate the pain/sensations? Thanks again!!

[@PainFreeYou]

I believe it takes a set of concepts dialed in just right to get well. For example, if you are practicing indifference, yet still believe your pain is from a physical or body problem, that may not work for you. All the concepts I feel are important are in this video linked below. I do know some people who do not journal and still get better, so it's possible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaetmHWkp815qpo

[@aliv83]

When I try and relax, breathe it makes my pain worse. Maybe because I'm doing it to stop the pain which is actually reinforcing it? 🙄

[@PainFreeYou]

The intention is important. Breathe because it calms your body down. Not to fix anything.

[@joaniemiller4362]

I have to literally calm down. I wonder if I will ever be able to have a argument again with my hub without my brain thinking I’m in danger 🙄. Geez my brain is so sensitive it’s like I can’t debate stuff my brain starts sending strong pain signals🤣I’m laughing about it because it’s ridiculous how the brain thinks I’m in danger just from getting aggravated about something. Not even a big thing . Well what do you think?

[@jonm3388]

That has been my case for a few years now. A little disagreement or argument and my body pays. I have in some ways been able to retrain the brain so its not as bad as it used to be.

[@PainFreeYou]

Good stuff Jon.

[@PainFreeYou]

Disagreements do not have to mean pain. Just because that has happened already doesn't mean it must in the future.

But if fear is an emotion...doesnt that mean we should feel it? Its one emotion I dont want to " feel"

[@PainFreeYou]

It's fine to feel fear, but we don't want to get stuck in the story as to why we are feeling the fear. Feel the fear. Try not to live in it all day long. Plus, when I talk about "feeling our emotions", it's not the emotions surrounding our pain or symptoms. This video explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZu7payobbalr5o

[@bethhenderson9154]

Isn't "feeling the emotion of FEAR" counterproductive when it comes to feeling our emotions? If we are working to let go of fear from our lives? Ive lived with fear most of my life..am choosing LOVE instead. I know anxiety is a form of fear..and I am not as prone to anxiety as I used to be..having accurate information with these symptoms has really helped.

TMS, got it. Now if i could just fix the rest of my life. Any info on alcohol, drinking? I believe its also a tms symptom. In my case the 14 years of sh*t has turned me into a heavy drinker.

[@PainFreeYou]

It's all related. Alcohol is a sedative and calms many of us down. Don't have any solutions for that specifically. Not my area of experience.

[@tousift7822]

That's exactly my doubt, my pain became chronic not due to fear, but rather I just kept pushing and it became repetitive injury, causing central sensitization for a long time , so I am disabled from a decade, any thoughts,

[@PainFreeYou]

I'm not talking about your conscious thinking brain that told you to keep on pushing. I'm talking about the subconscious and autonomic nervous system designed to protect you. THAT was seeing danger in you pushing through the pain and that is why it became chronic. Your brain believes you have a physical problem so it will continue the pain. Teach it that your body is already well and perhaps it will let go.

[@pattycake1939]

So is shingles TMS?

[@PainFreeYou]

Shingles is supposedly caused by a virus. I'm not an expert in this regard.

[@cdracos1]

What if ones subconscious memories sees or deems a situation as dangerous, and ramps up the fear . Consciously you can clearly see you are safe but on the inside you can feel the nerves building and wamo spike ?

[@PainFreeYou]

We use our conscious thinking brain to teach the brain and subconscious to calm down. Repetition.

[@cdracos1]

@@PainFreeYou i was worried for days about doing some work at EX mrs house. didnt sleep last night. I thought it would be beneficial to face these fears . I guess my subconscious still sees her as a danger, told her i had fibro add to that fear of a 2 pm flare . Keep making mistakes trying to be confident like you. Is it wrong that ive reached for painkillers tonight after 9 months off ? .

[@PainFreeYou]

@@cdracos1 No judgment on the pain killers. Sometimes it's a matter of being kind to ourselves. Torturing ourselves is not the way we teach our brains that we are safe. As for the EX - Dealing with her may always be stressful. We don't have to eliminate that to get well. What we are trying to do is TEACH the brain that stress does not need to create pain. Break that connection by using the tools I suggest all the time.

[@DHRUVISM2016]

Just one question there is a heavy emphasis on TMS forum how this is all emotions and anxiety. So when u day u are not broken emotionally? Does that counter what everyone is saying? Thanks

[@PainFreeYou]

While the brain may be frightened by heavy emotions, that certainly doesn't make us "broken" emotionally.
