I lost someone. Had to take an antidepressant. Mendi NeuroFeedback Helped me get off it.

[@Lizarus.un-sane]

September 2019 I found my boyfriend shot at work, the baby was 7 weeks old.. after that 7 weeks later I lost my childhood best friend to cancer … 3 weeks later was the anniversary of my fathers death 4 weeks after that the anniversary of my mothers death… 6 weeks later my high school best friend was the first in my state to die from Covid complications.. then immediately was the lockdown.. I couldn’t come up for air.. I basically became catatonic until the one year anniversary of finding Jason around midnight that night I had an extreme spiritual experience that changed everything and put me on that path… Thank you for sharing bin such a raw way ❤️💪

Thank you for sharing. I recently got an ADHD diagnosis at age 42, on top of trauma from a recent abusive relationship. I know all to well how frustrating and awful it is to be stuck in that DMN loop. I received my Mendi a couple of months ago after seeing your review and I am training every day. I am very grateful for the work you do and even though I live in the nordics I would never have heard about the device without following your channel. So thanks again, you are really making a difference in not just your own life but thousands of us out here. Here's a hi-five and a hug from Oslo, Norway.

[@tnijoo5109]

I take Adderall for ADHD. I would like to get off if it and I’m looking at getting the Mendi. How is your ADHD from working with Mendi every day? And trauma recovery? I had trauma a few years ago that made my ADHD much worse. I feel like trauma is much harder to recover from than depression. Has the Mendi helped with your sense of self?

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks Karl. Yes, getting out of those thought loops is half the battle it seems. I appreciate the support! Thanks for the hi-five and the hug :D

[@CodyRallMD]

@Tnijo If you have trauma energy built up inside, use the David Hawkins book to try and release that energy. You might notice it is a lot easier to focus if you have less of the phrenetic energy inside of you. Then you can really start training with the Mendi to further build those focus connections in your frontal lobe. Mendi helps with my singular point meditations (Mendi session, then meditation session) that help me feel more connected to the universe and not worry so much about my sense of self. Becoming more selfless :)

@@CodyRallMD This is great advice. Thank you SO much!! I will get the book. I’m still on the fence about getting the Mendi device because there are so many complaints on the App Store about the app. I have an iPhone. Do you have to use the app to use the device? Has the app been an issue for you?

Cody, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear that you're pulling through this. Indeed, everything that we as a human race are going through had to have made it all the worse on you. And not to sound weird or anything but seeing and feeling your pain is very endearing and my heart really goes out to you. You're a very brave man, thank you for sharing your feelings like that. Best of luck on your journey to better health. I believe this will definitely make you a better doctor in your field than I'm sure you already are. And congratulations to you and your wife with your new baby. God bless the three of you.

A beautiful and scared story of souls finding each other in this realm and souls only know to love one another. We can find it easy to attach to the body/mind yet it’s the soul where we connect. Part of his soul’s journey was to leave and give you this gift of self-discovery, changing your life and many others by your sharing of this sacredness. Thank you! Much light! 🙏🙇🏻‍♂️🕉

Hey Cody. What a Beautiful, Heartfelt and Incredibly Educational 12 Minutes. Just what I needed to watch and hear. You should RePost this Video and target people who are searching for Anxiety based Solutions. I bought the Mendi Headset last week, and listening to the above is the confirmation I needed

Thank you Chris

[@christofinb]

Thanks for this Cody I like the candor. I find that if you have problems with trauma it gets locked inside you and the best thing to do is to journal it with complete clarity. I find meditation can just push trauma down and forced one to try and work over it rather than to deal with the root of it. Medication does this also, tech such as the Mendi or Muse can help give you feedback on your progress but is not a means to an end. This is my experience anyway.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes it seems to be a dance of different factors to get you through it

[@u-liconfoosius6432]

Thank you so much for sharing. and for the courage to do so. You should be proud that you are strong enough to share this. It helps any patient when the physician has felt the pain.

[@desireco]

So in other news, I thought to hold off buying Mendi until they release v2.0 as it would fix some of the issues you mentioned, but screw it, I will get this one and next one when it comes out as well, especially if it is as good as you clearly think it is. I use light and sound machines for meditation as well as just sit classic zen, but want to help kids focus and Mendi seems like a good device for that.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes, there will not be a v2.0 for a while. It has really helped me and I hope you find it helpful as well. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Zelijko.

[@VK3TWO]

Amazing share! I am working through that book also! Leaving military was very challenging.

[@CodyRallMD]

Working through "Letting Go" or "Can't Hurt Me"? Just curious. Yes, leaving the military is a huge transition.

[@user-hr8iz9lb3g]

Thanks again. Never give up and remember that what you do is not only a passion job. It is also very useful for many people. Just one thing about self training. Neorythm is certainly helpful, however for people who don't know about meditation and brainwaves it can feel like you are lost. Even the names of the different modes look quite similar. Mendi and neorythm are however, really good.

[@CodyRallMD]

Thank you for the support. Yes, I am thinking I need to make more protocol videos for each device to give people more of a guide for use. Thanks for furthering that idea!

Hi Cody: Have you looked into Neuroptimal? Interested in hearing your thoughts. Seems like legit advanced brain training, They have been around for awhile.

[@C-o-r-y]

Don’t stop SSRIs cold turkey, you need to gradually taper, your motor skills and your equilibrium is off. Your natural chemicals are blocked when you take SSRIs and now they need to go back to normal.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes, I tapered slowly, all the way down to 5mg but still got withdrawal upon complete stop.

[@IAMSTEIS]

My condolences Cody...man this was a really inspiring video in so many ways...I'm really happy to find your channel...Mendi sounds like a great device you also spoke good things about Muse...I meditate every day and practice being present and I'm interested in taking that even further...would you recommend Mendi over Muse S? Thanks fam!

[@MrLeemond80]

im sorry you had to go through that mate

[@desireco]

Thank you for opening up like this and sharing. In my experience in the past when I get into such state where I feel hopeless and without options, meditation just get me more into the bad thoughts cycle but what was helping me more was journaling, however ridiculous things I would put in there, I would just write whatever bothered me and what I found wrong and over and over and that would help me more then anything. But then meditation once my mind is cleared, otherwise meditation would just be terrible as I would be alone with thoughts of doom and gloom.

[@CodyRallMD]

Meditation with the high degree of trauma energy was very challenging with lots of intrusive thoughts. But it was much better after the Letting Go technique.

[@seanharveygoogle]

I'm really interested in this conversation and have a number of questions. #1 mendi PFC focus was helpful for getting off the SSRI because you were not present. Would it have been productive or counterproductive at an earlier time a year before when you had to process your grief? Does PFC focus facilitate the burying of invasive thoughts which are really subconscious things that need to come out and that you need to process properly? And what is the benefit (or lack thereof) of Mendi PFC training for anxiety generally, the original symptom for which the SSRI was needed?

[@maxagist]

Amazing story! I am now in immigration from my home in Russia started studies in English and doing some business here as only income. That's cool to hear real man story of transformation and handling depressing experience. We do need that expressions and recommendations to reflect ourselfs, I felt it very strongly in those 12 minutes of the video. I felt that I didn't have money enoight to solve all my mental health "problems" which are mostly questions about functions and normal dispersion to feel social perception, so decision to search through neural devices again lead me now to ordering mendi as my personal responsibility to mentoring myself with a mirror of my brain activity. The main questions I have other than fighting anxiety and depression, Mendi should also help with Distraction disorder (ADHD) and focus problems? Isn't it a better solution than traditional CBT and behavioral therapy to decrease ADHD symptoms (excepting the medication for brain blood flow)?
