Huh, no wonder the most popular phrase in the Bible is some form of “Do not be afraid.” Thank you Dan, I am starting my journey of not being afraid tonight! Fear has no hold on me in Jesus’ Name.

[@NEChristo]

Yes “do not fear, only believe”. “According to your faith be it unto you “ and basically everything else Jesus said. God created our brains to work in a perfect spiritual and physical environment but we have not gotten the memo in this current fallen realm. It all really is going to be ok. This is ALL temporary.

[@user-ks1uk3zo4g]

Pray I let fear go

[@stevec404]

I agree. My 'symptoms', from childhood psychological trauma, ruled and ruined my life through constant fear. After decades of living a largely self-isolated life, I saw my fear for what it really was - a monstrous roadblock to healing. Anticipatory anxiety has no hold on me now; and each and every mental health issue/symptom is on the mend.

[@PainFreeYou]

You can do this.

[@arianamartin4337]

Love the reframe too. I recently reframed my recovery by realising I don’t just want to be symptom free, I want to be fear free. Less hypervigilance, less anxiety, less self consciousness - I want to FEEL and move through the world differently.

Dan, you’re the best. ❤️BTW, I drove for my first time for a haircut in a year and a half. I walked over 8,000 steps yesterday, this stuff really works my friends.

[@lindamoore1264]

I think it’s also important to decide you’re done being intimidated by the symptoms and that they are not more powerful than us. They are insignificant.

[@bethgillette948]

Many of us still believe that the opposite of Love is Hate. However, the opposite of Love is Fear. Let that one sink in here for a bit. Remember, in the Bible, we are told "Fear not," and FDR famously said, "the only thing we have to Fear is Fear itself." Underneath everything we feel that didn't go right, feel good, angered, stopped, or limited us etc. is a form of Fear. Anything that is not Love is Fear. This is why it's said that Love can heal us all. Brilliant insight and reframing here! I'm carrying this one with me!

[@lisarodriguez5388]

You have no idea how much this video means to me right now. I’ve been living in extreme fear for the last five months. I’m trying to get out of this fear cycle every day and this just makes so much sense to me. About a year and a half ago I had an extreme fear reaction to Covid and also to going through withdrawals from caffeine. I had horrible symptoms coming off of caffeine and once I started getting better at about a year off, my symptoms started to fade just a little bit and my fear was getting better but a few months later I had about seven major traumas back to back with my family and my life and all my fear and anxiety and symptoms came back with a vengeance. I’ve been watching your videos every day, and can’t tell you how much they make sense. In my case, I’m pretty sure I had some severe withdrawal symptoms that my body remembered when I was under massive stress and I went back into fight or flight my body remembered all the symptoms and brought them all back. My life has been a nightmare, and I can barely take care of my children but yesterday ….yesterday was so wonderful because my symptoms were very low and I wasn’t in that fight or flight state so I think that you are 100% sure about the Tms thing because fear is running my life and I just want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart I hope I’m on my way to full recovery. No matter what you’re going through losing fear is the answer .. LOSING FEAR.. I had so many symptoms when I was coming off of caffeine like extreme anxiety, extreme panic attacks, extreme fear, body pain, I had burning skin, head symptoms, insomnia, ice symptoms, shaking twitching, I mean, it was insane like there was so many symptoms I couldn’t even describe to you extreme fear but when they started to lift a little bit, I was so grateful and I know that the human body can heal, but if you have fear you’re constantly putting cortisol in your body, and when all my symptoms came back in November it was after an extreme fury response. My body went back into fight or flight, and It brought back my symptoms. It also brought me a lot of new symptoms that I hadn’t had before because of the state I was in. I’ve been so so scared for the last five months and I just want to say thank you for these videos because I watch them every day and they just save me every day. I would definitely like to join your workshop as well. I just haven’t been able to work much so I don’t have the money right now fully but pretty soon. I will be hopefully. Thanks again Dan you were amazing.❤❤❤❤

I found Dr John Sarno some 15 years ago and have cured myself from years of on and off chronic neck, back, arm and RSI pain. After being given all the diagnosis and I should have things cut our and cracked and stretched. It's been a journey but once I got its coming from my mind and to let go of self judgements and perfectionism and to get on with doing my life and talking to my brain we are ok and can cope... over time it just floated away. It's a process but as Dan shares with believe self love and patience eventually the brain gives up. I promise living life pain free is possible. Sending love and courage. T 👌

[@PainFreeYou]

Thank you Zodiac.

[@desireebattles9336]

It's so wonderful to hear of people conquering fear and especially in such a short time (3 months) ugh, Ihave been at this years, but just with Dan for past 5 months, but I do believe that the life events we have had to deal with (especially the traumatic ones of dealing with death, loss, divorce and structural injuries) play a huge roll in whether or not we are able to flip that switch so easily ugh, therefore, making this journey longer. I truly hate it as I long for the days wen I was secure, confident, strong and pretty much fearless, all it took was one serious tragedy to knock me off my perch. I want nothing more then to conquer fear and rid myself of all this unnecessary stress, hence, my journey continues, thank u Dan for my daily therapy lol

[@PainFreeYou]

Try not to tell yourself that due to your past, this will take longer. There may be some truth in that, but...we don't need to TELL ourselves that. It just creates a barrier to recovery. Tell yourself a different story that you CAN do this and it won't take long. Why? You have new information now compared to the past.

A massive thanks to you Dan and the lovely lady who left this comment. This was a real light bulb moment for me. I have been searching for the path to recovery from post surgical foot pain in my feet for seven years. You name it, Ive tried it! Despite curing a previous back issue by reading Sarno's books, I could not convince myself that my feet had healed from Morton's Neuroma excisions in both feet. I used to love rambling and dancing. I am going to enjoy them again! "I am recovering from fear" (not my symptoms) has completely distilled and clarified what I need to do now. Thank you so much to you both.

Thank you Dan and to all the wonderful people here sharing such amazing stories of success. It warms my heart ❤

[@PainFreeYou]

Wonderful! You are absolutely in the right place. Love it.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

After exposure therapy my gut went way off which raised my fear etc etc. (Strong family history of bowel cancers) I then researched anxiety and gut, just to back up what I probably already knew but needed reassurance. Reading that the processing of food whilst in fight and flight affects absorption resulting in different stools lol, helped dial down my fear and overthinking. Took 48hrs but my body/gut sorted it. So I still have quite extensive exposure therapy to do (to make everyday going out the house normal to me)and am sure that now I'll be able to minimize knock on effect by having this knowledge. Fight or flight or rest and digest, two systems that need vast energy to operate at optimum quality and we're built to put 80% into one at a time.

[@dnt_vtepedr]

This is really good. I'd take it even a step further and say it's OK to be afraid. It's not the fear that's the issue, it's resisting it. Fear is a natural response and emotion. It's when we make it bad. Anyway this is what i discovered when I recovered. Getting rid of fear is not enough. But allowing it to flow without making it a big deal. So if I'm afraid of the symptoms, ok, no big deal. It's fine. I'm human and it's OK. THAT is what really shifted things for me.

[@PainFreeYou]

Great point. Likely a video topic for sure. "It's okay to be afraid".

[@dnt_vtepedr]

@Pain Free You I'd love to see that if you do it! I'm recovered for the most part by doing exactly what you talk about here on your channel and I was really bad off. I feel like allowing things to just be as they are without turning them into things to figure out of fix, including feelings was monumental.

[@sharongunn6545]

This was a helpful comment for me. I do not fear that I’m broken or that there is something seriously wrong. I just fear the symptoms themselves. Thanks for making it “normal” for me!

[@h.g.5141]

What we resist persists...... Embrace it and let it go. 🎉🎉🎉

[@chrisduncan3943]

I think the fear itself is worse than the physical symptoms, so by recovering from fear you can get some relief right away even if symptoms persist for a while. It's kind of amazing how physical symptoms can become no big deal without that layer of fear on top of them. I think it helps to encourage physical symptoms too if you can, which makes them paradoxically lessen or disappear.

[@PainFreeYou]

Yes. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

[@lisarodriguez5388]

Omg it’s the truth!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@chrisbenj3819]

Yes and to piggy back on this if your pain popped up due to intense worry about something happening…. Then it’s literally a fear response. The first time I went through it I didn’t believe it at all kept searching for answers. The answer is to sit with the symptoms and work on not being fearful of them

[@donnablatman3283]

This video is GOLD Dan!!!!!! The only thing that needs fixing is our relationship with FEAR!!!! Not buying into any thoughts around FEAR is the KEY! Love the idea of recovering from FEAR - that needs to be our sole purpose!! Brilliant Dan. Sending lots of love and gratitude!

[@laz0rw0lf1975]

I’ve been aware for a while now that I live in fear. I have described it in the past to others , it’s like if I was going for a job interview, or how someone would dread going to the dentist, but I feel like that ALL the time, I’m scared or “apprehensive “as if something bad is going to happen even though there is no obvious danger so I have to be on guard all the time. I’ve have back pain for over 20 years now and believe my surprised anger and fear comes from my early experiences. Read John Sarno book about a year ago and it really opened my eyes to tms, I have every scan and test possible and drs have found nothing wrong with me.

[@martinmosna2732]

Doctor Sarno also mentioned doubt which our brain responds with when we start to learn about the psychosomatic process that he describes in his book, I'm reading The Divided Mind. For me, the fact that my GP recommended this book to me to read and confirmed to me that I have a normal back - these mean so much, because doubt came and I almost threw the book away when I started the treatment chapter. I become fearless sometimes now in movement and living life, and also in communication with people in my life, willing to face conflicts. I agree that fear was a huge factor even though the full picture is broader than that even beyond my understanding of it. I'm in the process of recovery. I have new hope and I am so grateful there is someone who walked this path before me, it's reassuring in the moments of doubt. Thank you

I’m trying to focus on not being afraid. The flu just triggered my nervous system to overreact again. I’m trying to consistently kick the fear out so I can get back to who I am.

Well my fear of my health anxiety started to fade away. Feeling great. Then, boom. I started having flashes in my right eye. I rested for a while with mybeyes closed. Thinking it was some kind of migraine happening. Then, when i opened my eyes i had a bunch of floaters appear in the same eye! Ignite panic mode! I called the eye dr immediately. And then search on KZbin. Looks like i have pvd ..just hoping there is no retina detachment. So the fear is here in full force. I just feel like i cant win. Ive been recovering from this long term anxiety. But life can definitely throw you you a curve ball.

[@josiejo117]

The fear was only there in the first place due to the absence of correct information &/or the insertion of the wrong information. This process has been a relearning & trusting exercise for me. I liken it to when I learnt to drive a car. To begin with I was clueless & overwhelmed. Everything felt daunting & I had to be conscious every minute of what I was doing. Then, over time & with an instructor guiding me through the lessons with patience & consistency, it became more & more second nature & automatic. I could relax into it & eventually I was enjoying the drive, the scenery, the whole experience...I feel this is similar! Thank you for being an amazing instructor Dan.Xxx

So much truth to this! Last night, after almost a week of really minimal symptoms, they started to come back. The difference is I met them with less fear. Still have fear, but I also had more faith in the process of recovery. Big difference for me, as I deepen my trust of this process. The gift of TMS is looking at how fear has run my life. I keep thinking of that old Albert Brooks movie, defending your life! I’m still going to hike my favorite trail today.

Dan I agree with this 100%. However, in certain circumstances it can be really hard to "not be afraid", or at least "not be on alert". That's the part we struggle with in our house. Our daughter is the most anxious person I've ever known (think ASD, although I think it's more this that's going on rather than the label itself) so her anxiety is literally OFF THE SCALE, ALL DAY LONG, and when I tell her it's literally her brain (she's 14) she says "but how can I stop the fear, it's too big". She says talking to her brain does nothing because her fear is too big. Accurate knowledge doesn't seem to help her at all because she immediately goes looking for the next fear as soon as we conquer the current fear. As a result of this, my husband and I walk on eggshells around her all day long, on high alert, because of her explosive episodes and paranoia, so living in a situation as intense as this (what could be defined as "neurodivergence"), can anything be done? Sorry if this is way too far outside of your scope, it's just that I believe what's going on in our house is not any "labels" but actually brains that are way too hyper focused on fear & perceiving danger literally everywhere. I believe all of us can recover, including my daughter. Fear is literally her only problem, not these labels.

I've been reading parts of it over the weekend and it has helped me understand how if we the parents do our part in healing, it helps the child at the same time. Just an idea that I thought may be helpful for you as I hear your struggle. It really ties in to Dan's teaching in a way and it all boils down to fear. Hope this was helpful for you. Best wishes.

Very difficult situation with your daughter. The whole neurodivergence topic is outside of my knowledge. Did she have a traumatic early childhood? Is she open to working with a counselor? This video may help. We don't have to believe our thoughts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2e9Z36FbMdjoqc

This is the last piece of the puzzle for me, thank you. FDR was bang on when he said there’s nothing to fear but fear itself.

[@PainFreeYou]

Glad this was helpful.

[@edgarkarapetyan1332]

Dan thank you for this one! Sometimes a reminder is needed and this was just that for me. This is spot on!

[@PainFreeYou]

Thanks Edgar.

[@tothemoon8465]

love it! Thank you!

[@PainFreeYou]

Glad you like it!

[@Amanda-Mason]

Just discovering this page... I absolutely love this. My symptoms have not been pain but of dizziness and feeling faint. I know its fear based. This will help me to not panic when I i feel that way.

[@marly1869]

I love it too Dan!!! It encompasses everything!🤗👍🏼

[@PainFreeYou]

Thanks Marly.

[@joannemelanson4170]

Wow..makes so much sense…thank you

[@PainFreeYou]

You are so welcome

[@monikabucher5572]

Thanks so much Dan for your videos. I only just discovered them. The one about talking to brain and make it a sort of ‘companion’ has struck me and I started to thank it for all the good work it does and that I would be happy if we could get off these pain symptoms together that are not necessary at all. Yesterday morning it was pretty bad, then I began the above and by evening only very ligh pain. Today the ‘fear’ thing struck;: will I be ok again etc. And here’s your message. I have watched various people on the topic, for me you are the best now! God bless you!

[@lisasenior1463]

Exactly what I had worked out. Thank you Fan.

[@PainFreeYou]

Thank you for this video Dan - this has really hit the nail on the head. That is what I am doing - recovering from fear! Onwards and upwards. So grateful for your dedication to this practice 🙏🏻

[@PainFreeYou]

You got this!

[@dondubnow57]

If fear is an emotion, then we shouldn't repress it. Feeling the fear without fearing it. That is so counter intuitive!!

[@PainFreeYou]

I'm not suggesting we repress fear. It's okay to allow ourselves to experience fear, but I don't suggest we live in it all day long. And, we can counter the fear with accurate information to teach the brain that the fear is unfounded.

I have MS. Have been struggling with Anxiety and Depression for years. I discovered this video and even though I don't have pain, I do have other MS stuff along with some stressful situations, just like everyone has. Anyway, I saw this video and I think I can apply this to MY situation as well to deal with the MS stuff AND the anxiety and depression. I tried EMDR and it made things so much worse. I stopped that. Thank you for making this video!!

[@trustitcoaching]

Truth Dan! Love is all that exists until we introduce fear. Then we recognize it’s made up. Thank you for your consistent truth.

[@PainFreeYou]

Well said!

[@lisaabreu5509]

Yes!!! I do love that reframe!! It’s so simple and in my experience true!!!

[@PainFreeYou]

I love it!

[@kathyholmes827]

Brilliant advice, I think that comes first, then the two conversations 👏

[@PainFreeYou]

Thanks Kathy.

[@paulamorphett9131]

This is so true Dan ♥️ thankyou for this great video 😊 i have overcome 99% of my fear watching your daily video 😊 hope you had a lovely weekend 😊♥️🤗🌻

[@PainFreeYou]

Wonderful! Yes, the weekend was quite nice.

[@johnd3684]

This os the most important video

[@mindyli5974]

i love this it sounds so easy and is so understandable its just when it comes time to put this to play then its like no no what im experiencing is real and i forget all this knowledge i am getting through these videos which sucks hoping i can remember this and try to manage the fear first

[@marieberglund149]

It’s hard when you terrified al day long, really struggling, it sounds wonderful that people can stop being afraid of fear. That’s my biggest problem right now, my pain got so much worse again and I lost myself long the road 😪. It’s Ben up and down so much the latest but now only down. I’m trying so hard to comfort myself but the screaming brain is sooo loud. It doesn’t matter if i go out ore doing stuff at home, the symptoms and pain won’t leave at al. It’s a struggle al day long. Today my son hade to get new glasses and al I could focus on was that my dissyness was so bad and shaking legs that’s beaks my heart, I want to be hear and now with him. And don’t lose time….but Hove Dan?

[@lindalaughren]

I love it and have been really trying!

[@PainFreeYou]

Keep at it. Consistency matters. Stick with it!

[@janvakilpour5764]

Powerful stuff Dan, learning to stop my fearful thoughts in their tracks before they escalated into a full on narrative has been key in my recovery. For me, fear has been accompanied by self doubt and self criticism, excessive worry, hyper vigilance and unsettled attention. It does come back and I now have the capacity to generally spot it and over ride it with a different, life affirming narrative. It does take time and it does need lots of repetition to overcome it but, like so much that you teach about setting good boundaries, being present, learning to stay calm in the face of challenge, it is a life skill.

[@PainFreeYou]

Absolutely a life skill. Thanks for sharing your insight!

[@AntonyJS]

Another great video. The simplicity of putting it down to fear is so helpful aswell. Recovery doesn't need to be complicated or it becomes too difficult. Stick with the basics and core if the issues. Love it. Still working on it as it's a rollercoaster but I know this is the way. 👍🏻😌

[@PainFreeYou]

Absolutely! You've got this. Keep it simple.

[@nancyrussell6598]

THIS APPLIES TO ME LIKE A GROOVE

[@PainFreeYou]

Indeed.

[@rebekahperez9416]

Thanks, Dan! It seems like I've had progress in recovering from fear and now I'm in a relapse back into fear. And it's interesting that I'm fearful and frustrated about the relapse, since I know fear feeds the symptoms. Fears upon fears...This reminder is timely, and hopefully getting back on the road to recovery won't take as long as the first time. Thanks again!!

[@PainFreeYou]

You can do this.

[@marly1869]

Brilliant!!!! This is the exact root cause and it’s what’s been working for me..🤩🙌🏼

[@PainFreeYou]

Wonderful!

[@robrybacki9434]

Great video Dan, I am recovering from fear.

[@PainFreeYou]

Good stuff

[@rosemarypilkington5749]

This video was so helpful I watched it twice. With accurate knowledge and acquiring true indifference my fear has subsided and my symptoms are beginning to as well. Thank you! ♥

[@PainFreeYou]

That is wonderful Rosemary.

[@fairytaleprincessevents4251]

I love this guy . I just found him and it helped me catch the thoughts and build awareness of every single negative thought I've been having that I didn't notice before. I've done emdr on my fear which has also helped a great deal

[@PainFreeYou]

I appreciate that!
