We've all been programmed to believe that feeling "happy" is the only emotion acceptable and when it doesn't materialize for most of your "living" we feel like we've failed. We need to accept that sadness, disappointment, anger , anxiety etc are all part and parcel of life and not a failing. Had PTSD after an assault, EMDR has changed my reaction to the recollection. It's like it's put the "memory" into the right filing cabinet. Never thought that something so simple could reach into my brain. Basically gave me emotional strength (albeit with lots of tears)to know that I am now safe. Our brains are phenomenal, and even though we sometimes feel so confused by the signals it sends out, we have to believe that ultimately we can calm the sensations and go live a life.

Exactly keep on walking on the road of recovery sweet Patricia love you ❤️💪🦸‍♀️😘

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

Brilliant post PB. ❤

[@1STBUCKLEY]

​@@lennekevanrossum8422thank you. Appreciate 👍

[@1STBUCKLEY]

​@@NicoleFitnessKZbinthank you. Someone said something similar to me a few weeks back and somehow some of it stuck (this time)

[@michellebenjamin4632]

I have been in chaos since a child. Trauma abuse left me with many many anxiety symptoms. Pain included but many many more. Been listening to you for a few months now. I said it before I say it again I prayed and I believe God directed me to you. I’m trying to not freak out and tell myself safety. Currently have a virus and feel rough but telling myself do not freak out! Your videos are just amazing x

[@1STBUCKLEY]

This too will pass. You're doing fantastic. Another step forward 👏

[@moneygetten]

Your not alone, welcome to the PFY family, your in the right place!!!

[@DrsdrdsAnnaDame]

Welcome❤ with youre family. I had a really bad childhood. Really bad. Butt you are loved❤and we pray for you. You are safe😊❤God bless you

[@SaltyBibleCracker]

Praise God! He got me here to Dan’s channel too & it’s helped so much. ✝️🙏🏻💟

[@mjoachim9554]

I’m going to listen to this 1000 times

[@lennekevanrossum8422]

Hi Dan I say exactly that "we are no longer stuck in the past we are safe isn't that wonderful news" thank you love you ❤❤❤

[@josiejo117]

Yes it is wonderful!!😀❤😘

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

That’s beautiful Lenneke ❤

[@alyeskakochanek]

I definitely fall into this trap when symptoms and anxiety are high. Its hard to trust that what I'm doing is enough and that there's nothing to change or "figure out". Thanks for this video, Dan.

[@naturegirl4074]

Yes me too

[@jazznutz]

Me too

[@BigShot1738]

Me too

[@jakeragonesi]

I think I also put a lot of pressure on myself when it comes to the healing journey. It’s been hard changing that mindset to a more positive compassionate thought. There’s that fear that when symptoms get higher I must be doing something wrong which only adds to the pressure.

[@thelaceygirl]

Thanks for being there each and every day Dan. You are so appreciated 🩵

[@wednesdayschild3627]

It was my dad's birthday anniversary. The symptoms started again.

[@iganieroda2747]

Hi Dan - Your videos have been so helpful to me. I try to watch a video a day and even go back to rewatching some of them - brings me a lot of comfort and reassurance. I wanted to thank you!

[@ShawnTylerMusic]

I needed this today. Struggling with pain and anxiety.

[@angelamartin7885]

A friend sent me this. THE way to get over things you hate-whether it's fear, sensations, thoughts, feelings is- Notice them, nod/allow them and get back to life. It's really that simple. The disorder is when you dive in, hold on to it, try to control everything & add MORE fear, add more energy, more focus, more time, it's when you face IT(the very thing you hate)-instead of life & by doing these things you're giving stuff unneeded and untrue meaning. Staying locked in, when you just look THROUGH things and not get stuck IN them.

[@anitaneedham3821]

what a joy to listen to you Dan....calm with pure logic .... suddenly swelled and couldn't walk on my foot; could not lift heel without enormous pain; absolutely no injury; swelling now reduced; is this not most difficult part, the feet, to believe there is nothing structurally wrong......ps thanks for such upliftment you give out💖🙏🎶🙏💖

[@TimoSchiemann]

Dan is the man. And soon we will be ok, nothing more to say 💪🏼

[@mjoachim9554]

Panic almost seems involuntary for me. When I reinjured my back. So tough to tell yourself I’m not in danger. I believe what you’re saying is the answer though.

[@PainFreeYou]

What is the proof of injury? Pain is not proof of tissue damage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4a2ZKF6mbulmM0

[@jenniferbauer3408]

Soooo on point with this one!! What I’ve found is anything that scares me is NOT the answer, and all the science scares me. The schubiner stuff about brain pathways and creating new ones, I mean what? Our brains can heal themselves once we stop freaking out period.

[@mollieanne]

Oh my God Dan, you are cracking me up, "I was in pain before the internet." lol Yeah, I am 54 so totally am glad google did not exist in the 90s since I had bad health anxiety then. Relatively speaking the internet has not been rapid for THAT long. People in there 20s think it has been here forever since it was for at least half of their life though lol I have learned to not google now either though unless it is for a recipe or something fun lol

[@Truerealism747]

Is it working.for you nowadays

[@wednesdayschild3627]

Dr. Google needs to be fired.

[@Georgethejungle369]

Dr google I'm cursing you very bad

[@CruisingWithElena]

I really belive it’s both repressed emotion is what causes it fearing stuff or anger or hurt or unappreciation etc and u get pain but it becomes TMS when it’s perceived danger it becomes chronic. Yes not focusing on it just feel safe today❤

[@siobhanleddy]

Great advice thanks

[@ShirleyMartin-lp2or]

Such a practical message today. It’s all so very true. Thanks Dan. Love what it’s done for me♥️🎉🎉

[@monicahanlin504]

I am so grateful to have come across your videos! It is helping me with vertigo. I listen to these while falling asleep and they are so calming. THANK YOU!!!

[@nickvantastiq1848]

Great video Dan! 🙏🏻❤

[@MIKELPN]

Yes. Need to stop. 😮

[@robbienichols2712]

As usual another reassuring post. You make every dag better😊

[@naturegirl4074]

7:11 I’m so glad you have this position. I hate journaling, going into the past. I’m already trying to say I’m not where I was with the last surgery or the aftermath. I am safe today I was so angry yesterday You’ve helped me so much. I realize I’m working to hard and focusing on this too much Yes! I’m getting better every day!

[@1STBUCKLEY]

At least TV was around 😂 3 channels back in the day, here in the UK, all dine midnight 😴

[@macijane236]

💯 thank you for reaffirming this valuable point.

[@larryc506]

Definitely aplies to me Dan. Great reminders!

[@naturegirl4074]

Yep every since 2016 when I got my first MRI. This is my back I’m talking about now.

[@thetrapkit]

Present moment mixed with knowledge heals. Be here now.

[@PainFreeYou]

Yep

[@lozb1631]

Oh yes!

[@cf2278]

😂 love it! Before the internet!❤ thanks for the laugh Dan

[@asaj6387]

I think this is so hard. For a year I have been trying to convince myself that I am safe and the hornonal inbalance I experience that is causing so many symptoms is here becsuse of my dysregulated nervous system and living in fight or flight for so long. But still there is no change. I can feel fantastisk and then I habe s hornonal shift and I am backen on square one again. So I guess I still not believe the message I am trying to tell myself.

[@pampatton8658]

“I was in pain before the internet”…🤣🤣🤣 If you’re old, then I’m really old!

[@kylerferrill8252]

Ayy what kind of monitors do you have back there? Are those hs8s

[@PainFreeYou]

HS 5's

[@naturegirl4074]

I was in pain before the internet lol yep

[@angelavanzandt8106]

Dan what causes high blood pressure?could it be tms

[@PainFreeYou]

Stress and fear CAN cause it, but there are many causes. Some are medical.

[@janethansen9612]

Ha ha I remember life before the internet too.

[@Nonessential888]

With all the perceived danger in wars, did the soldiers’ brains try to protect them and give them back pain? Thanks.

[@RaphaWasHere]
