Joi's TMS Success Story - Hip and Leg Pain, Digestive Issues, Insomnia and more

[@pampatton8658]

I listened to this while exercising…my workout flew by! I was hanging on every word! So grateful for this. I could identify with many things Joi shared. Such an energy of peace surrounding her. Thanks to Dan & Joi for sharing this.

[@estherlaseur6794]

This is so spot on. I needed this. The permission to show up imperfect. The permission to go slowly, one step at a time, one minute at a time. I've denied myself that gentle approach and because of that had to suffer a lot the past years. Very helpful testimony, thank you!

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

Joi, I found myself crying at 3 separate times during your testimony. People are always talking about how important it is for them to relate to someone who has the same symptoms as they do - it makes it more personal. I never cared that much about finding someone who had the same experiences as me because I know I have TMS. But then as I listened to you describe your hip diagnoses and your fear of limping in public, it was like listening to myself. And it has struck me to my core. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your story. I am so grateful to you and Dan for this video.

WE'RE THE ONLY ONE INSIDE OUR HEAD. WE ARE THE BOSS OF WHAT WE THINK AND BELIEVE THAT CREATES OUR MIND SET

[@ShiningAchilles]

Joi put into words how much I was resisting rest cause I perceived it as not getting something done or trying to distract from it. My perfectionism or judgement of not being enough are why I resist. Plus as Dan always says stop trying to treat your symptoms. I think this is the underlying reason why I and many have suffered from insomnia. You're okay and permitted to rest. To do nothing. To just be. I'm feeling very hopeful. Thank you both for sharing. It's so rewarding to hear you both in that and I loved the part about being the parent you always wanted. We're finally becoming whole no longer denying the parts of ourselves that we've deemed bad. I'm holding on to hope for my own success story when it happens 😊

[@PainFreeYou]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Bachconcertos]

Yes so true. Working all the time on something or other is over rated. Rest relax chill out 😊

[@Inge508]

What great insights you have! Can resonate.. with that mindset you will be a happy success - story soon! Keep going !👍☘️☘️☘️

[@krobin7h]

Thanks for sharing Joi. Yes, the hypervigilance changes you and I know that feeling of "danger all the time", where nothing is comfortable. Fortunately we know it is a lie, that we are in fact ok, and it's a matter of telling yourself that and accepting the uncomfortable feelings for the time being.

[@darrend2035]

I know exactly what she’s talking about No doubt chronic pain sucks but that impending doom of emotion, almost like a constant fear/panic feeling, it’s so intense sometimes 😅 , it will go away guys

[@cdajx9760]

This has really helped me. I look 20 years younger than l am. I have wom beauty comps and modelled. I feel SHAME at,walking with a crutch so stay in. When l go out l get compliments but don't believe them. I'm going to church on Sunday now. Speak to my brain. Get my life back!

P.S. Loved the insight into the concept of “too much”. ♥️

I could listen for hours to you Joi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, insights and strategies ! It inspires me to learn more about IFS too. The brain is a learning - machine !! Yess!! For me it feels like my brain took / learned abnormal beliefs to be normal.. and my job is to teach my brain there is a better way to keep me safe without pains / symptoms. Like giving my original mindset a good detox. Thanks for the lovely interaction between you both and I wish you JOY, Joi for the present and future ! Thanks for opening up to us all ❤🙏

Thank you Joi! Incredibly helpful video. I literally have received the exact same diagnosis from the ortho: FIA, labral tear, cyst, and told I need surgery and will never get better. I've used TMS successfully in the past for back and elbow pain but it's REALLY hard when the guy in the white coat is telling you you're broken.

[@MindBodyBronx]

This has me thinking back on all of the times in my life I’ve experienced symptoms, which I believe all have been fear based. I’ve always been very anxious, fearful, paranoid, ocd/anxiety. I never correlates physical symptoms to be correlated to the brain bc that’s excaly what ocd does as well. Create perceived danger to ruminate upon. This has been so eye opening and been connecting many dots for me. This was the missing piece I needed on my road to recovery and retraining my brain, I am okay!!! 😮❤❤❤ thank you this is life changing

[@Froukjevanveen]

This is it! Its my Story… I need her coaching… I am in The Netherlands. I feel like I was close but this is so hopefull. I wish someday to be in your interviews. And be able to inspire others. We dont have coaches in my country that are so experiened like you .. I wish upon a star that somehow I will be able to have a coach like you or Joi. ❤ Thank you infinite… this is so hopeful. I hope to be able to moove so freely as I used to… moving used to be my medicine for everything.. my body was so flexibele and pain free … never ever had I imagined that this would happen to me. I lost everything because of the pain. Everything I loved so dearly. 🙏🏻💕

[@bridgetannanelson6921]

Really interesting about the wheat and dairy sensitivities, I've been 'told' by a nutritionist I'm allergic to these, I'd never had any symptoms... but I stopped eating them for 4 years. Now with my new pds learning, I started eating them again, and now I have symptoms... so this helps me understand I need to work through them without fear. Brilliant, thank you

[@Bachconcertos]

U may be allergic due to the pestisides & glutton etc - America really messes with gmos etc. So eat well.

[@privateperson5769]

I just went down the diet rabbit hole ...again ..omg ...why why why ....it is a rabbit hole 🤪🤪 does your frikken head in .

[@JoiSharpMindBody]

Yes, I was also originally told I was allergic, which created symptoms for decades. I can now eat as much dairy and wheat as I want with no symptoms.

[@Bachconcertos]

I could never drink milk and when I after I was 35 I could not longer eat pasta.

[@ericedmiston5040]

You're giving pain a hug instead of scolding it. If you change the lens of how you view pain from a negative connotation to a positive connotation. Then your body will start to go through a metamorphosis and a renewed understanding that there is nothing to be fearful of.

[@pedrom8831]

I’m in absolutely no doubt that my symptoms are TMS. I just know for sure. But it doesn’t help one bit because then you get the confusion of the next step, and there’s no clarity whatsoever. We’re told that we need to feel our emotions, but that feeling frustration towards our pain is bad. So it’s ’feel your emotions, but not those ones.’ I’ve been told that we have to be inside our window of tolerance in order to process our emotions, but also that we need to process our emotions in order to find our window of tolerance. I’ve been trying to make sense of this for years, but the contradictions have left me terrified and unbelievably confused. Anyone else struggle so much with these next steps? To be clear, I’m not doubting my TMS. I know this is what’s going on, but it doesn’t help at all. It’s beyond frustrating.

[@sand4029]

I'm scared of the part were I need to tell myself I am OK or I am gonna be OK, because maybe I am not. For me at the moment this is like teaching my brain a door is not a door but a table. It just feels like lying 😢

[@JoiSharpMindBody]

Giving your brain the clarity it needs to recover is essential, even if you are not 💯 convinced. This is what I had to do. I had to throw away the mri and make a decision. It’s that decision that you will use this approach to recover, and you may wobble, but you keep coming back.

[@christinehorne5165]

Get clarity and take the pain test and assessment.

My question is.... did she really need the operation to begin with? I'm scared I may need one since my hip dislocated in an accident 30 years ago and now is bothering me. The doc at the time said there may be a bone that broke off and got loose. I do have many other symptoms..

[@lindapelle8738]

It’s good to know the almighty Dan has anxiety, I would never ever have dreamed that.

[@christinehorne5165]

Can someone let go of symptoms by just doing internal family systems work? I have started working with Dan to settle symptoms. If this all is good enough then I would prefer not to dig up my past. I definitely don’t feel safe reliving my past. I have friends who do IFS and ACA. They keep telling me that is what I need.

[@PainFreeYou]

IFS is not geared to resolving physical pain. Perhaps it can be a helpful part of the journey, but I'm not convinced it is required.

[@JoiSharpMindBody]

There have been plenty of people that have recovered completely without it. But what IFS does is show where repression might be hiding, so if you feel that you have some emotional opposition going on, a few sessions of IFS can give you the skills to detect it. IFS also brings in the energy of acceptance right where you are, so it helps remove internal pressure.
