This resonates so soundly for me, brings some tears of relief with it as well. In the summer of 2021, I became very fatigued, and lightheaded, especially outside in the heat. After three weeks of that, I saw my primary care doctor. I had a lot of blood work, and finally he (doctor), zeroed in on a high PTH level. (Hyperthyroidism), too much calcium being pumped into my system. Upon seeing an endocrinologist, and then several more detailed blood draws, and imaging tests, I was told my dizziness was anxiety, and they would take the wait and see approach. Back to my primary care doctor, after only being able to sit on my bed propped up, with my eyes closed for nearly 8 mos…a sleep study, wearing a heart monitor, I was an emotional wreck. I remember going to the ER because of heart palpitations, and so much dizziness. Now, praise God, I know for a fact, I was ill, and my poor scared brain/ and worn out nervous system was worn out from worry, from being dismissed. When all of this began I was caregiver to my mother in law, sadly a narcissist. So, I was ripe for the picking, so to speak. My PC doctor told me I needed to see a psychiatrist, and get more motivated. At the end of my rope, finally I saw a specialist/surgeon at university of Michigan hospital, who promptly told me, “the blood work doesn’t lie, ever.” You need surgery to remove the sick parathyroid gland/glands. It took a little longer than expected, but I DID begin to recover once the calcium was under control. You, Dr, Y (not knowing it), we’re instrumental in me keeping my sanity, my faith in God, as you were the doctor that showed me light, compassion, understanding. I’m moving though life with joy again, when the old dizzy pops up, I immediately remember to soothe myself, stand tall, look forward, and walk on. Oh, how I would have loved for a professional to have told me, “you’re going to be okay.” Please stay here, please keep doing the work you do for us, you’re a life saver.

Trauma= “Anything that disrupts your relationship with safety” That really stuck with me , never saw it that way, everytime I was asked if I had any trauma my mind always thought that trauma was an accident and I would always answer no, but to be fair if I told many doctors today that I have trauma from life events I don’t think many doctors would even consider that as trauma because they are so disconnected to this type of work

You're right, most doctors are not well trained about this- and it's a shame, because it's such an important piece of the story.

Wow, what an amazing listen this is! Every single doctor I went to shrugged their shoulders and sent me on my way. The neurologist I went to did nerve testing on my legs and told me basically all of the nerves in my legs were destroyed 🙄 Told me they could help control my pain if needed (I told them over and over I had NO pain!!!!) and that was that. I was diagnosed MDDS within three months but it didn’t do a darn thing to help me. I’ve done 95% of my healing work in conjunction with your help and really changing my mindset. Thanks for this interview!

This interview is touching many topics that directly resonates with what I've been through for the past 2.5 years..(and also my past experiences since childhood). I'm moved and in tears. Its really one of the most powerful and profound interviews that I've seen in this channel. My symptoms apparently are worse nowadays, sometimes feel like I'm circling around a dark tunnel with light nowhere to be seen. Regardless, I'm trying not to be an A+ student, taking one day at a time and believe I will recover. God bless you for all the work that you do. words are not enough to express my thanks and gratitude.

Oh Yuni another fabulous content and speaker. You directed the conversation so well for us. I do an “awareness” practice + it’s astounding how simple it is (by no means easy as the thoughts/emotions get louder when in stillness. The body felt sense Is above the thoughts, the brain so this too is very inspiring to know how we can meet trauma by just watching it with no judgment/attachment.

Dear Dr Yonit, i asked you before about my problem when i am standing and there are more people around me, talking to me. I feel off balance/ dizzy. You told me about because of the happening of more things at the same time can be the reason (processing in the brain). Now i am so wondering. I have this problem every time and not sure if i should just avoid being with more people around me? Or just keep going living normal live (so with situations where people have to be around me on and off)... i want to do what is best for my brain (that is so overwhelmed by 2 years of anxiety and pppd) & also recover from pppd.. I am a bit afraid if i only make it worse... I am.not even working. But i mean being on a school yard picking up the kids, talking to another mother. Or when i have some playing kids at home or even my own family...Or a Coffee with a friend. It all makes me feel like off balance because, standing talking moving at the same time...just dont know if i should go on and just accept and be ok with these weird sensations.. or avoid untill my brain is not that overwhelmed anymore...but...it is overwhelmed a lot so than maybe i cant do anything for a long time🫣

@the steady coach can you clarify the PTSD Relating to PPPD for me? Are the researchers saying that those of us who developed PPPD after something like vestibular neuritis or BPPV are having PTSD from that biological condition and that the PPPD is the expression of the PTSD? I didn’t quite understand that. Thanks
@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
There is no research on this in the vestibular world except for some limited research looking at people's psychological histories, not social histories. However there is parallel research VERY clearly showing that people suffering from similar central sensitization syndromes like fibromyalgia, migraines, etc. have a much higher incidence of PTSD and the link appears to be causal.

Hi Dr Yo, I definitely believe now that I do have trouble letting myself feel emotions. Especially because after watching this video, I have started to try to tune into my body in the present.. I can feel emotions.. and where they are sitting. But I can’t really identify what emotion it is.. is it still helpful to be present with the feeling even if I don’t know how to label it? Or do I need to try and work out exactly what it is I am feeling. Thank you ❤

How does portrayal work with events that were traumatic, not a person?
@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
You spend time with the "past you" that was hurt and made afraid by the event. Trauma is usually caused by a overwhelm of emotions/resources. Visiting the past you to provide resources and unburden shame/guilt is extremely helpful. If it's a truly traumatic event, it's ideally done with a therapist.
