    Dr Yo was a shining light that help me understand what was happening. Her videos helped me through. I always said if I ever get off the bobbing boat I would revisit her channel and let people know it gets better. I will never forget the help she was through my darkest days. P.S I'm 100% better now.

    This interview was incredible! She went through so much, and the fact that she recovered after such a long time gives me, a long hauler, hope! I could relate to her constant pushing herself and not being able to relax. I felt like she was talking about me there. Thank you for doing this interview, and thank you Vanessa for sharing all you did!

    Gives me so much hope.
    I’ve been dealing with this since I was 15, currently I am 29. Drs. Finally just diagnosed me with pppd. I have so much anxiety, panic and even depression from this. I don’t go anywhere public because of the fearI have of my own symptoms. I’m hoping I’m able to get rid of it and live my life happy again.

    Dr.Yo, you're the one who taught me that feeling unwell sometimes is totally normal. I can't thank you enough because the reason I got PPPD is from health anxiety. The anxiety led to more ane more different kind of symptoms.
    The funny thing is that I still have some PPPD symptoms (recovered a lot!), but I'm in a better place mentally than last year when I didn't have PPPD yet. 😊

    I loved this interview! Her & I share very similar vestibular migraine symptoms. I watched an interview she did on the Yoga for Migraine channel and absolutely love how well spoken she is. You can really put yourself in her shoes during these experiences and feel how she must have felt in those moments.

    I'm definitely stuck. I have been utilizing the curable app, read many books on mind body syndrome, listen to all the videos on pain reprocessing therapy, trying different ways to calm myself down, but things keep getting worse. I cannot afford getting the help I need, because most coaches or therapists do not take insurance. I am on disability and have medicare , so I don't have any money to be able to get the right help I need. I am losing hope of ever getting better. My chronic pain has spread to all parts of my body, panic attacks everyday, and vertigo happening more and more. You would think the more I learned and applied different things like journaling, mindfullness, telling myself I am safe, somatic tracking that symptoms would start to lessen and they haven't.

    Thank you, this interview was a godsend! I am going through a vestibular migraine episode with my period and it is awful! Not so much the pain but that feeling Vanessa was talking about: when I move and have that after or residual movement. Last year I woke up with the real, spinning sensation so there is a level of fear for me for that to happen again. But, with all that I know now from your channel Dr. Yonit and other great minds in mind-body field, I realize patterns that brought it for me: very stressful period, lot of obligations that looked like I was dealing with successfully and was very proud for that when I actually was putting sometimes unnecessary pressure on myself just because I am an A type and love to take care of others. I didn't listen to signals that my body was sending so now, finally my brain said: I'm gonna send you this migraine that will stop you for a couple of days and make you rethink some stuff. I still need to work on self judgement and even anger when I'm having a bad day. I need to learn that that day isn't a failure but a day to slow down, listen to my body and take care of myself. Looking forward to a part 2. :)!

      Trust me it gets better. Shift your focus and let your nervous system calm down. For me it took 15 months but it got better. I took a mental break and letting go of everything stressing me. For me it felt like my brain was shaking and I was walking in a bobbing boat. Extremely anxious all the time. Now I can hardly even remember that numb 15 months.

    Omg!!! I'm glad I've found you. I always follow my intuition all the time. When i first started w these symtoms, I went to an ENT to know what was happening. He diagnosed Menieres but I read about it and didn't agree w it so I went for a second opinion w another specialist experienced w Menieres and he suggested I have VM instead. He started a treatment for me, but I ended up quitting the medication because I thought it was usuless to have use medication if I was still getting episodes, and reading that a lot of ppl in the support groups didn't find complete recovery from the symptoms w medication. So what was the point?. In the last few years I've focused in living a healthy lifestyle w resistance training, yoga and Meditation..Fresh food and less processed food choices. And I honestly believe that is helping. I still get dizzy spells when im under lot of pressure and tension but not as bad as Ive read other ppl have it. I just avoid those stressors and continue my life as best as I can. ❤ but Ive stopped looking for medical attentin this matter unless I were to experience other symptoms or worsening. Hopefully not🤞

    Another great interview! I feel the exact same way when I go to my PT for some physical issue. Once they start working on me I feel my body is more relaxed and can breath easier. What can I do to keep that feeling when I go home?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  Год назад

      You're getting a big message of safety from the PT! Long story short, you can build skills around creating the same safety for yourself. We talk about this in a lot of depth in this interview: ruclips.net/video/1ARobKo0NrM/видео.html

    Dr Yonit. I've been having neural circuit dizziness for 5 years but I realise now that I've had stress and self induced sickness for most of my life (now 34). The oddest thing is if I just feel good, it's almost like I miss the uncomfortable sensation and like my mind is calling them back because I feel empty. I guess I've gotten so used to them. Do you know anyone else that misses these and asks for them? I really don't want to consciously but it's like my unconscious calls them back. And then I blame myself. Is this some sort of severe depression or just normal to miss something you've kind of always had? I just want to feel good and happy 😊

    • @mayhorseradish
      @mayhorseradish 6 месяцев назад

      im this way too. i think we're just so used to feeling awful in our lives (unwell etc) that when we don't feel that way, our brains don't know what to spend their energy focusing on and it's almost like a panic "where is it we're so used to it" kind of thing.

    • @getakyoai
      @getakyoai 6 месяцев назад

      ​​@@mayhorseradishthank you for your reply. Shortly after my comment I started using Curable app actually. I did the work and especially journaling about my worst life moments/memories/traumas - it was super hard and horrible, but now I can happily say I'm free of this. Feeling almost completely good, but most importantly having a very positive outlook even during harder times (looks like my menstruation plus weather do have a physical impact on me but I can handle them super well now). I'm very happy now. Combined it with daily meditations to connect to myself and universal love plus stoicism and life is super nice as it is 😊. I even found a loving happy and healthy relationship. So what I mean to say is please don't give up and think life is bad. We have the power to change our perspective on things and once we do that then no matter what happens we can accept and even love every moment like the blessing that it is ❤😊. I really wish you all the best!

    Dear dr Yonit, what do you think about doing pilates? My pppd started with bppv 3years ago. I am.doing a bit better with pppd. But, still after the bppv, i am afraid to really move normal. So, for 3 years, i did not move my head like before...And i am tence in my whole body due to all the symptoms that are still there. Looking up and looking down, are most triggering. So, i had my first pilates lessons and when i had to look up, i felt like the ceiling was going to spinn...but..it didnt really spin pike bppv. But just a few seconds...however it did move a bit...so..my reaction was, got scared. What if it is really going to spin when looking up. What if the bppv is back, or comes back because i am moving again😅
    So..i am a bit worried...is it.ok to do pilates? Ai started doing it because i hope to start feeling ok again when moving my head etc🙏.
