For me, everything comes back to Christ. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” His Spirit lives in me. So if I am in fear it is either the enemy or self trying to control. Daily surrender, gratitude, practicing awareness of God in everything.

Don’t let your mind hurt you mentally, you deserve peace

[@rainncorbin8291]

You stop fear by facing it and walking through it.

[@bridgitmcbride4669]

1 thing that has helped me is one of my doctors said distract yourself from your pain by doing an enjoyable activity or even keeping your busy so you don’t have the time to dwell on the pain so you don’t unconsciously magnify the pain. I learned from the curable app that if you focus to much on something the brain creates more of it since it thinks you are focusing on it because you want more of the pain even though that is the last thing you want.

[@kateking3953]

But....fear isn't always about being broken. Sometimes it's about being unable to get out of the house, or across the road. Knowing the facts doesn't allow you to get out of the door. I sometimes watch a lovely horse trainer (I'm in the UK) online working with troubled horses. There's not a lot of difference between a frightened horse feeling vulnerable and a frightened person feeling vulnerable. One was a horse that had an accident in the field, and as a result lost an eye. This was traumatic enough, but she bore with it bravely. But then, because of her changed ability to perceive distance and depth, she kept hitting herself entering her stall. Eventually she couldn't cope with that, and refused to leave it, because she was safe there. A familiar enough scenario for a lot of people. The trainer worked with her patiently and firmly, until she was able to get just one hoof across the line between stable and yard. When she finally got outside, her poor legs were trembling with terror. But in the end she was running joyfully in the field again. Sometimes it isn't knowledge that does it. Sometimes you have to start with one hoof! xx

[@PainFreeYou]

Yes, great example. And yes, in this video I spoke about taking brave action in order to move forward. That's the part you are talking about.

[@kateking3953]

@@PainFreeYou I think there must be so many who can identify with this little horse. She had no concept of anything or what the future might hold, only the terror of crossing the line from safety. She didn't know she was being brave, she didn't know she would get her world back. No amount of reassurance could comfort her. I've read all the books and heard all the podcasts and seen all the testimonials. But in the end, nothing touched my heart and broke it open like the sight of that poor creature on her shaking legs stepping into the sunlight.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

Yep sometimes we think "better the devil we know"

[@kateking3953]

@@1STBUCKLEY What I learned from watching the little mare and her patient trainer is that thinking is the least of it. Thinking is what got us trapped in the stable for eight months, metaphorically speaking. Putting one hoof over the line is what will get us outside into the sunlight. It took her a long time before she could get both front feet over the line, and she reversed back into the safety of her stable a lot. But eventually she managed it. Healing a frightened spirit isn't as easy as the books and podcasts make it appear. But if we can make one step, that's a start. And if it's one step each day for a month, that's good. It's a beginning. x

[@1STBUCKLEY]

Needed to hear this today. Beautiful morning here in London ☀️. Rough night, little sleep. Was actually thinking at 3am I am stuck in fear. Pushed myself out my bed and drove to church (between masses cos it's quieter)& just sat, listening to the choir practice. Very peaceful. Then drove to the new river, walked and then sat. In way home I stopped at train station & sat on the platform (have a real fear of travel, agoraphobia ,but am desperate to get back out and about). Partner arrived back after he'd been out and about in London, I so miss the little mooches around London town on a Sunday morning. Another little drive n stopped to listen. Am proud & grateful I was able move forward. Thanks for the video reminder, re fear.

Amazing to read about your Day and what you’re working with my friend. Sometimes i forgot I am not alone :)

[@acissej_01]

For me fear is more unconscious, I often wake up fearful and anxious without having any fearful thoughts. Makes it hard to stop if you don't have anything to grasp. I try to accept it, get into my body and move on with my day but it takes a lot of energy. Bravery is key!

I like perceived danger response better because every time I say perceived and pain together it sounds like I’m just imagining pain and it’s not really there. Perceived danger is really the situation causing the pain.

[@josiejo117]

So pleased you are addressing this Dan. Fear is the psychological reaction that appears in the body. I am learning to accept the fear as resistance to it keeps it stuck....in accepting it teaches my brain it's not real. It's a very "challenging|" teacher!! I truly wish love & courage to all those who are also understanding their fear.❤

We also need to be mindful of "Actions" we may do that stoke the fear. Realised I must've took my temperature over six times and checked my tonsils to see if they're still inflamed (recovered from ear infection but it's still not feeling right(PDP). I must remember all I'm doing is feeding the "fear".

[@deejanz3763]

Need to make notes on this one, Dan. Especially good for me. I'm doing things based on an old program with what is my ancient default expectation. It's become so automatic, such a learned response, it feels normal and I don't know how to not see that expected future. So this is good awareness and I'm so grateful to spot this. Daily practice. This is my own brain, the patterns are not permanent, things are pliable, malleable.

[@ShirleyMartin-lp2or]

It’s so true about the bravery of facing and overcoming fear, and implementation of what you’re telling us - it’s what has taken me to my recovery♥️

[@EllieJ-kd6dl]

I try to imagine 'fear' if it was sat in front of me (in my mind's eye)... Whatever representation wants to come forward is fine.. Though I do try to visualise it as a blob of wobbly colour - a bit like a Jelly Baby sweet.. After all who is afraid to sit and look at a Jelly Baby ! Then I just talk to it - whatever comes into my mind.. No judgement and no censoring... Often times a particular person / incident / situation or memory does come up within my mind at the same time, so I try to stay neutral (- not always easy) and just ask questions or say whatever I'm driven to say ... After a short while I feel a shift within that is like diffusing whatever I was feeling fearful about - which I guess is my brain calming down... I personally find when I don't run from my fear emotions but try to do this sequence it helps me rationalise / understand what's been driving my fear emotion in the first place.. Not always - but sometimes..... ❤

[@thea1rachiel]

It's eerie how well this cross applies to symptoms of ptsd, not just pain symptoms.

[@AndrejsKarpovs]

What if I am still doubting the information? I know I have a lot of fear but I cannot defeat it. I have 50/50 belief that the problem is either physical or due to TMS and that’s causing a lot of fear for body movements, etc., because i am always thinking: “what if?”

[@kw00264]

What's been working for me lately when symptoms are high is asking for more. I'm guessing it sends some sort of signal to my brain that I'm not afraid and can handle whatever it wants to give me. Kind of like how you were talking about bravery. Standing up and saying, is that all you got brain? Let's go. Give me more. And just like that, the fear diffuses and the symptoms quiet down. Definitely have to keep practicing moment to moment but am hopeful one day soon this brave response to any symptom will be my default!

[@alandry6872]

Jesus, really? 😮 I don't think I'd dare try that!

[@Gabriellekidd]

Thank you so much for this. The fear is so big. Especially in the morning when the pain feels so real. The forever loop. I really miss morning so much. I’ve taken the test and it seems like my journey has so much to do with TMS but I am questioning it a little bit because some of the pain started after an adjustment from a DO who thought they could fix me but just made things worse with chronic sit bone/hamstring/perineum nerve issues. Everyday now. On top of what I had…. Really grateful for your videos. It really helps even when I’m still try to figure all this out

[@marieleak8731]

Years ago every time I had a treatment from my Do I was worse off. So we both agreed to stop. Have not had Chiro or DO for years.

[@chrisbenj3819]

Nothing to figure out. Remember that.

[@PainFreeYou]

When you look at the experience under the umbrella of perceived danger, it makes more sense. Perhaps the adjustment did hurt. But the story since then has been that he damaged you. Remember, the body heals. Any injury - if there was any - has already healed. The perception of danger, misinformation and fear is what is keeping the symptoms going. The test is your proof that your pain is behaving like it's perceived danger pain and not some structural injury that hasn't healed.

@@PainFreeYouthanks Dan. Really ready to move forward from all this. It’s been a nightmare.

[@kaylaberry7983]

You are so calming and relaxing to me! Thank you so much for this video-perfecting timing for me. I have felt so wired and like I can’t get past the thoughts that I “should be” doing this or that or that I won’t recover. Because I can’t do things. Yesterday I had a wonderful day relaxing with some friends and I actually felt calm in spite of all of the symptoms. I’m reflecting on that this morning-for the first time in years I felt some peace and calm. It was amazing and I’m trying to hold on to that mindset.

[@angelastiliano6559]

Wow Dan, this is a very signficant revelation, that the repressed emotions, which must be hurtful emotions drive the fear cycle in your brain and this is what results in symptoms. I have tried to work out for a long time how or why Dr Sarno would say repressed emotions bring on symptoms, why would the brain want you to have symptoms. I used to think that maybe its because the brain thinks physical symptoms are easier to cope with compared to repressed emotions, especially because these past emotions cannot be resolved. What you just said connects the dots and makes perfect sense. Thank you, you are amazing.

you recovered beautifully when Finn put you off your stride

[@paulanazim2115]

Recently I saw the post that was telling that saying to our brain that we are safe is not enough because our nervous system doesn’t speak a cognitive language so it can’t actually understand the words that we are saying and the key to shifting what is happening internally is learning how to work with the nervous system which is what regulation nervous system is all about. Because when we regulate we are communicating safety to our nervous system in a way that it actually understands. We are showing and not telling ourselves that here and now is safe. And that there are various examples of regulation as yoga, humming, swaying, walking meditations ecc. What do you think about it Dan? You said in one of the video that nervous system regulation techniques that are now so famous are not so helpful and that we need to teach our brain to feel safety, but don’t we teach our brain safety through nervous system regulation? It can’t fixed itself by just repeating over and over again that we are safe, we have to take some actions to actually prove that it really is. I will appreciate your answer I am a bit confused about it. TY 🙏

My conscious mind is generally brave but my subconscious is very fearful but you've made me realise that it also gets mixed up with excitement and reacts the same as if I was in fear. If I'm living with fear I get a migraine, if I'm very excited about something I get a migraine - so many trips to the theatre/exciting days out had to be cancelled - even when my son went to college and I was so excited for him not fearful or worried as it was perceived by my family - thank you, I've had a eureka moment and I have something tangible to work on here!

Good video, thanks. The trigger to my bladder pain is emptying it. I'm not avoiding it - that would be impossible - so it's not a question of overcoming avoidance. However, I realise that, when the pain's bad, I do have a subconscious fear of emptying my bladder but it's not within my control to alter that. I don't know how to control my subconscious. I've had several months of it being really good and during that time I wasn't even thinking about it except sometimes to feel very grateful.
