When my dog first came from the shelter to our home she was so afraid she even didn´t want to be touched. And there were a lot off other difficulties. I had to start a really patient "conversation" with her to show her that she has a totally safe place now and that she is respected with all her needs. It took quite a time and we did it. Now we are THE dream team. Maybe my brain is kind of a shelter dog either, doing its own things only because of lacking conversation......... Thank you Dan!
Lovely message.We should give ourselves the same kind consideration that we give away freely to others.I have had a similar experience with a feral cat that with patience and kind words became the most beautiful loving companion.
YES this is exactly right! Our nervous systems are very similar to a scared shelter animal. Overtime, as you beautifully shared, our nervous system begins to trust and regulates.
Healed from TMS! Praise God. Got to some point where I just decided to stop focusing, after doing alll the work and just move on with life. Then one day realized, oh wow. I don't hurt anymore. All the best everyone!
@@sasirai4679 Sasi, everytime I would think about the pain, I'd do what Dr. Sarno said in Healing back pain, to think about my emotions and what's going on with me emotionally. I saw a TMS therapist a couple of times too. Then at some point I got really busy in my career- I didn't have time to think about symptoms, and I just continued living life. I'm also Christian and would constantly say, thank you God for my healing, and would visualize myself well every night before sleeping.
Did you have severe pain everyday? My problem is that I have so much pain that doesn’t let me go out from home and live life 🥵 It is so hard to think positively in this situation 😓
@@paulanazim2115oh Paula I’m sorry to hear that. As I shared I healed from TMS, but I did work with a TMS /Mindbody psychologist. Alan Langdon’s Pain Psychology center and then changed to Gina Denholm at Moving Beyond Pain. That really helped me, having professional Mindbody therapists to talk to. They were both great. I also joined Menda Health, which was great especially because of the group therapy aspect of it. Every night I’d re-read parts of either ‘Mind body prescription’ by Dr. Sarno or ‘Healing Back Pain by Dr. Sarno.’ It’s a step a day, but healing is 💯 possible and real.
Watching this today Sept 15 2024 because you suggested going back and finding this… thanks! Saved! I am always talking to myself and my brain. My husband hears me, who are you talking to, oh my legs, my back and now more often my brain ❤
I had a flare up on Tuesday and I could feel myself getting really stressed and depressed. I had planned to take my kids out. I could feel this negative dialogue about how I’m not a good parent and felt frustrated that I was tired. I convinced myself I was dying and I’m going to feel like this for the rest of my life. I caught myself and decided to be kind to myself. Told myself I needed to rest today and gave myself permission. It helped a lot. Then I searched for videos on chronic fatigue and found you.
This is really good! One time when I was at the gym doing my resistance training, I finished up on the treadmill, and while I was walking on the treadmill at a huge incline, I said to my brain in my mind, “see how much fun we can have when you don’t send me all these danger signs?” 🤣🤣🤣
If I was religious I’d make Dan my god. “Dan, the healing God”😂 I feel like he has given me superpowers. Can’t believe that the solution has been this “simple” all along. I’m rid of insomnia, severe fatigue, extreme cognitive issues and concussion symptoms etc. I have a life to start living again, and it. is. AWESOME💃🏽
@@lovelymeidiland7803 Creating evidence and deep belief in the fact that NOTHING is wrong with my body or brain. For me it all started with a concussion and insomnia and later I contracted Covid. I went over my course og symptoms. I realized that every time I had flares/setbacks it was at a time I had an increase in fear. For example an extra hit to the head, fear of getting long Covid in addition to my existing symptoms. There were a lot of concrete stories and examples that boosted my fear level and therefore symptoms during my journey. Gaining the accurate knowledge and being able to look at my course of symptoms in hindsight and tie it up to fear gave me a major AHA-moment.

Just an amazing video. I don’t know how you come up with new content everyday. I am a cancer survivor and I know I am healed . It has been 4 years since treatment. But it did my heart and brain good to hear you include us survivors in this video. There can be lots of fear surrounding that diagnosis. I thank you with all my heart. You help so many 😊
Yes! Bad nights sleep = higher sensations. So glad someone mentioned that. I believe higher anxiety leads to sleeplessness which leads to higher sensations next day.
The cycle that hits us all. When it happens to me through lack of sleep I try telling myself remember everything is magnified because.... But u are safe
Wow. I have been on the cycle countless times and just noticed yesterday that if I had increased fear and anxiety during the day, it affected my sleep at night, which affected the anxiety the following day. Three nights ago I heard a doctor saying that any symptom that the body can produce for a reason, it can produce for NO reason, and be TMS. My brain must’ve loved hearing that because by the time I went to sleep I had almost zero symptoms and I slept a whole 6.5 hours straight that night with no nightmares!!! What a win.
I don't mean to offend anyone but maybe the brain is smart to worry about survival. Until our last breath, we can figure out eternity. I was very scared of death. Is there a heaven and hell? Thankfully God is merciful and sent his Son to die for us. John 3:16 set me free. Still have a problematic brain and I probably will until the day I die, who knows but now at least I know it has an ending because I know I'm going to heaven. LOVE DAN'S STUFF... his videos and Dr. Sarno has helped me overcome pain, with acceptance of myself, working through the pains that come and go by calming my brain to feel safe. SO GRATEFUL for this information. But let's be realistic this world can be dangerous, but also we can stay calm and trust God to take care of us. I hope you all know Jesus as your Savior. God bless!
Did this in bed last night.. Raging hip pain(severe arthritis) Talked to my brain like it was my inner child... It went within five minutes and I was able to get back to sleep until the next time.. Rinse/Repeat. So grateful Dan.. It's like a miracle 🙏💫💖
The mindset truly has been the biggest thing for me. So many times I’ve thought that if I just do more I’ll get better, but I was still focused on fear so symptoms would get worse and I’d freak out and start questioning everything and the cycle would begin again. I’ve finally gotten my mind in the right place and now when symptoms increase I know why and the fear comes down and symptoms start to settle. It really has to be reinforced by your thoughts, and then your behavior teaches your brain you’re actually okay. It’s not easy, but staying consistent is key.
@@merildoit’s taken me a long time to get it. It’s still a struggle, but I just have to keep reminding myself that I’m okay and then focus my mind on other things. It’s something I have to practice doing every day. One moment at a time.
Yes, it is your mind racing and fearful thoughts that trigger the danger in our brain, yes? For me I’m first dealing with vestibular issues because they have stopped me completely but afterward I will focus more on the pain.
You know there's that saying, "talking to yourself is the first sign of madness"? That's just not true. The power of the spoken word is very powerful! We need to work in unison with our mind, body and spirit not against them. The brain needs to have the message relayed to it that we are, in fact, not in danger but well. Thanking the brain for looking out for us but letting it know that we're not in imminent danger is a perfect example of how we can work with our brain rather than against it. Thanks for reminding us, Dan. X
Based on this I just found a really good way to talk to my brain which calmed symptoms down very quicky, I had kinda been at war before but this is so much better. First I got a really happy memory in my mind, then said to my brain, I know what's going on on here, you're using the wrong neural pathways because you think I'm in danger, but i'm not and there's nothing wrong with me. wouldn't you like to go back to doing things like (the happy memory). and I said in your own time you can go back to using the correct neural pathways then we can go back to doing all those happy things. but having the strong happy memory in mind, something that's really emotive sends a strong signal of safety and warmth the brain. it really helped me anyway.
I love this! It has helped me so much to visualize riding my bike and how much I love to be on the trail and feel the wind on my face and smell the trees…wow my brain didn’t have a chance to give me symptoms 😊
Dude I’m so bound up and anger and/or tears rises quickly. I freak out because I got a lot of work to do. I deserve peace and freedom. May I make peace with my brain and body.

Thank you so so much💚💚 From the reminder to take a couple of full breaths and relax the body at the very beginning to all of the incredibly wise words throughout the video-these are the VERY reminders that so many of us dealing with XYZ need to hear; so that we can reach a state of “ease” (as opposed to disease). I love the idea of having a more playful approach with regards to how we communicate with our brain-it makes perfect sense to me, whereas before it could kind of feel like drilling affirmations into my brain as opposed to kind communication. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Perfect timing today! I had a day yesterday and went down the rabbit hole with my self talk! Talking in a playful kind peaceful voice ( which is what I do with the cats at the shelter I work at- which almost always calms them ) is a great example of how to work with my brain. Thank you ❤
This was absolutely God's timing for this video to be today's video❤ I had a very emotional day yesterday. A family member is going through a serious medical thing, and we have sick pets, and other things, and it all really hit me yesterday. And then insomnia and nightmare last night. BUT, I had a really good week before this, and I've been making progress and gaining momentum, and yesterday was hard, BUT I didnt crash as low as I used to, and I didn't feed into it or create stories around it....I'm learning to process emotions and dial down the intensity, and I could still see that progress even on a really hard day. Focusing on teaching my brain that just because "life gets life-y" I don't need to go down old pathways, and I can deal with the task at hand without everything falling apart. Thanks Dan, this was exactly what I needed to hear today.
Thank you Dan. I was struck by the similarities of what you were saying with the suggestions that my therapist encourages me to say to the traumatized infant within me. Your daily videos are an incredible gift, so often you hit the topic that is so relevant to my day. Thank you very much!
Really hard to have a positive self talk when your legs on fire, just in absolute agony, knowing that it happened making a company six figures of revenue, and not a dime of it was reinvested into equipment to spare labor, and I degenerated my body doing that labor 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I used to be strong, fit, athletic as hell.. now I’m weaker than shit, I have nobody, nothing but these pills, and they barley work.
It seems I have CRPS. Months of pain, then burning too. The burning spread.. I'm now reading ' The Way Out ' by Alan Gordon. , Have another book for after too, and am devouring RUclips videos.. This one made sense. 👍
I can't sleep at night anymore but i might be in real danger...i live in lebanon and just saw that tanks are approaching our borders & I've seen what they're doing to our neighbor country..too scary. This calms me for a bit though..thx
Dan I cant even begin to express how much your videos have helped me. Actually, your videos are the ONLY vides that help me. I cured myself once from pelvic pain using this TMS approach- all by watching your videos…. However recently ive been trying to taper off a medication that is notoriously very difficult to taper off of and my brain has once again convinced me that I cant do it, my anxiety got super bad again and my pelvic pain INSTANTLY came back 🙃 im back to watching your videos as they are the only videos that give me hope
@ariannateodora5469 I'm so sorry to hear the pelvic pain has returned and you are getting anxiety. That is the withdrawal causing it as you know it's awful but you will get through it you are strong as you have done it already and I will do it again. I'm at the beginning of my journey I've pelvic nerve pain also , I can't sit because of it, I can't lie flat on my back as I've left glute pain also. So I came across Dan's channel now and I've listened to all the fast start videos he has so kindly done and I'm so grateful to him and look forward to having no pelvic nerve pain. Do you have any tips on how you followed Dan's program?
It sounds like something my mom says all the time tell yourself you're not going to be in pain and you won't be in pain tell yourself you're going to walk without having to have a cane for Mobility if you weren't so depressed wouldn't have these problems just think good thoughts just try and tell yourself you're not going to be sick and you won't be after having doctors do MRIs and studies on my scoliosis and fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome rheumatoid arthritis these were things I had all through my life I was born with them and I hear these exact words coming from your mouth that comes from my mother's mouth and my father's makes you think
I'm sick with whatever it is for over a month, every blood work shows I'm ok no danger, but my brain was saying opposite. You have no idea how I needed to hear that. Thanks a Million ❤❤❤
Thank you, Dan. This is exactly what I needed as I am a quietish person, i e not valuable or chatty. I need the script as I don't find it easy to just riff. God bless you.❤
Very glib and not at all helpful for people with 24 hour unrelenting pain. Might help you get through a dental procedure but pain is real and anyone who tries to tell you it's false doesn't understand your perspective.
Hey Paul. I had 13 years of really bad pain. Yes, pain IS real. All of it is realy. It's the danger that is perceived, not the pain. Learning the true cause of chronic pain is the starting point. Once you understand, then you can begin TEACHING your brain that there is no need for the chronic pain. If interested, check out my fast start playlist. DansFastStart.com This stuff works. PainFreeYouSuccess.com for many success stories.
There is a way out and this channel and my videos can help. Begin with my free fast start playlist. Watch, take notes, IMPLEMENT the concepts. Repeat until well. If you want direct help, consider my group coaching program. PainFreeYouGroup.com
I'm so ready to begin this process as I have been suffering with chronic back pain everyday for 16 years. Until I begin reading Dr. Sarno book I did not realize that my anxiety and TMS was responsible.
Dan I’m a young gentlemen from Trenton Nj, I’m going through post acute withdrawal from smoking and I’ve always had chronic stress and anxiety , also have pelvic pain syndrome. Does PDP occur in withdrawal as well? Have you had talked to anyone in recovery ? I am in constant the fear past month, Or is my body just recovering?
What if the pain gets bad all day and nothing is helping, so you resort to pain medication? It's only when it's really bad, but then I feel guilty for resorting to medication. How do you deal with the guilt of taking the pain med when you're trying so hard not to take it.
1 Understand that pain is not always the result of serious injury. 2 Recognize that many cases of back pain are associated with emotional and psychological factors. 3 Explore your emotions and stressful factors that may contribute to pain syndrome. 4 Consider relaxation, meditation, and breathing exercises to manage stress and pain. 5. Maintain an active lifestyle and engage in physical activity appropriate for your condition. 6 Learn techniques to improve your posture and maintain the correct body position. 7 Try to develop a positive attitude towards your health and life in general. 8 Do not pay excessive attention to pain and do not let it control your life. 9 Avoid unnecessary medical procedures and medications, especially if they do not provide meaningful relief. 10 Do not look for the "perfect" treatment for back pain, but focus on a comprehensive approach to your health. 11 Communicate with other people suffering from back pain and seek support in groups or communities. 12 Remember that every person is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
I think "you" is better when addressing your brain. It's like your Higher Self, the part of you that is calm and centered and wise, is talking to a frightened part of you. (Inner Family Systems, Richard Schwartz). *Maybe I misunderstood your question.
Hi Dan, thank you for all your work!!! I’m just wondering, from your experience do you think when some people have no physical pain and overcome a lot of TMS that they can hyper fixate on their appearance as the next thing to “fix” ? Thank you Siobhan
I'm not convinced that is TMS as TMS is generally defined as symptoms or pain created by the brain. A fixation on appearance is just a behavior - likely created by not feeling "enough".
Been doing this so long. All the same things. But feel like it's not enough for my overactive analytical brain (not my words ) Because of migraines I find distraction difficult. Is there anything more structured I can do Dan. Great video reminder. Thank you. I will try earlier in the day. Not just as and when. Take care. X

My headache are gone! You can do this. I did use medication but gradually backed off of it. I do allow myself times of pain so I could show my brain I wasn’t concerned… keep implementing!
Thank you Dan it sounds so easy but I wish my brain would listen to me LOL I have a lot of muscle tension in my spine was giving bad advice which I did for 9 months and just made things worse anyway I'm at the gym and I'm keep on pressing on trying to convince my brain I am safe I'm not in danger I took the assessments I don't know what else to do I'm taking your advice and it seems like when I exercise it tightens up even more I know it's trying to protect me
Heald from 2 years of Pelvic pain. This is teh only thing that can fix this... list of what i tryed whit 0 % sucsess. 1. dynamic contraction stretches 2 h /day 2 . weight lift. 3. massage 4 .Youga 5.the wand
LOVED this. I might talk to a stuffed animal. At first. So funny! I'm afraid of talking out loud, to my brain, but I talk inside, to myself constantly!!!
Thanks for this. I'm going to listen twice! I'm in total agreement with you. I forget though. I'm going through a bout. My pain is always shifting around. Haven't had symptoms for a few years but now something has cropped up, hip pain, and I almost forgot about TMS, until the Doc told me there's nothing wrong with my hip. It just dawned on me out of the blue to look at my emotions, do journalling, listen to videos on TMS.
I do all the stuff. And I feel great. But after 4 months I had a setback and all symptoms come back. Maybe I want to quickly? The setback is like hell. So many symptoms. I can’t be positive. Because I feel zo awful.

Does anyone else have flare-ups of pain after eating sugar? I have been on the carnivore diet trying to lessen the inflammation/pain. The diet has cooled the pain slightly, but if I cheat on the diet and have a little poison, I flare up? I know... don't eat the sugar! 99% of the time, I don't, but I am human!!😂😂 I'm just curious if anyone else experienced a flare-up after eating sugar?
One thing to change is to stop calling the sugar "poison". If that's your belief, how do you think your brain will react when you eat this "poison"? With fear and pain. You are also convinced that sugar is causing inflammation and that's causing the pain. That belief is why your brain turns on pain. That belief is incorrect. Billions eat sugar all the time and don't have chronic pain. It's the brains perception of danger that causes pain. The first video in my fast start playlist explains what really causes pain. DansFastStart.com
It is poison, but I get your point! I will change the way I talk about and view sugar!!😂😂 Thank you! I do have to say, my pain started years before I was aware that sugar is extremely bad for the human body. But your point is well taken!! But our health care system is bulging at the seams because of Metabolic issues that can be changed through diet. So , to say billions of people , each sugar with no consequences really is not true.
@PainFreeYou I have started your program and I am willing to do the work, but lying to my brain about sugar seems counter productive. The brain is a intelligent computer, I would assume it already knows sugar is poison just the same if I drank bleach!!😂😂😂😂 pretty sure my brain would be aware of the danger!! Anyway, thank you for your comments and I will do what is necessary to beat this pain!! Thank you!
Hey! This was really helpful. I agree teaming with your brain is the way to go. We don’t need to shame ourselves- that may be how we got here in the first place…I also like to use funny words to name the symptom. It worked for me in the past and this was a great reminder to apply it to the current symptoms I am experiencing. Speaking to myself out loud is something I will apply this time! Thank you 🙏
I said to my husband this week that Im gonna be talking to my brain out load a lot more often , he said. ‘So whats new?” 😂😂 I chat away whenever Im walking or working in the garden…my brain will be sick of me 😂 ❤
I have T N and the pain is unbearable at times . I can have up to a 6 wk flare up . A few months ago ,out of desperation with the pain been so intense . I asked my healing angel to come and take this pain away . I ask 4 times every-time and the pain goes away 🙏 Wether it is mind over matter the pain goes away x I feel it is a miracle every time . I also do frequency meditations on you tube and these calm my brain and body completely and takes the pain away x Great video thank you x
In a nutshell, be calm, yet have a playful attitude when talking to your brain. Out loud is preferable, but not necessary. Let your brain know there’s nothing to fear, and that it can turn down the symptoms.
But what if you really do have real evidence of a chronic threat - such as hostile actors in the workplace daily. Then you can’t keep telling your brain there’s no threat.
Can it possibly be both a real problem like herniated discs that were aggravated and having pain and then turning into ptd I think that's the case with me
Hey Dan, I want to express my gratitude for all the valuable work you do. Your contributions mean a lot to me. I have a question regarding your role as a TMS coach. Do you think consistently discussing "chronic pain" in your work might inadvertently signal to your subconscious that it's still an important issue for you, potentially leading to its manifestation in your own life? I've come to strongly believe in the principle that what we focus on, we attract. While I'm contemplating becoming a coach myself to help others, I'm concerned about whether constantly talking about chronic pain might inadvertently trigger it in my own life, despite my complete understanding and belief in TMS. I'd really appreciate hearing your perspective on this.
While that may happen if you are still fearful of TMS, it doesn't happen to me. I am SO confident in TMS as a real thing and what to do about it that it doesn't phase me at all. I'm not afraid of TMS and so it doesn't happen. If I get a twinge, I know what it is, give it no attention or fear and it goes away. I'm not concerned at all. I've ben chronic pain free for 14 years and coaching for the past 7 years.
instead of the Brain, I pray to Jesus, I talk to Him directly, and it calms my mind, to be in His word and promises
When my dog first came from the shelter to our home she was so afraid she even didn´t want to be touched. And there were a lot off other difficulties.

Healed from TMS! Praise God. Got to some point where I just decided to stop focusing, after doing alll the work and just move on with life. Then one day realized, oh wow. I don't hurt anymore. All the best everyone!

I love that: Fear is just "False Evidence Appearing Real"
Just an amazing video. I don’t know how you come up with new content everyday. I am a cancer survivor and I know I am healed . It has been 4 years since treatment. But it did my heart and brain good to hear you include us survivors in this video. There can be lots of fear surrounding that diagnosis. I thank you with all my heart. You help so many 😊
Yes! Bad nights sleep = higher sensations. So glad someone mentioned that. I believe higher anxiety leads to sleeplessness which leads to higher sensations next day.
The cycle that hits us all. When it happens to me through lack of sleep I try telling myself remember everything is magnified because.... But u are safe
Wow. I have been on the cycle countless times and just noticed yesterday that if I had increased fear and anxiety during the day, it affected my sleep at night, which affected the anxiety the following day. Three nights ago I heard a doctor saying that any symptom that the body can produce for a reason, it can produce for NO reason, and be TMS. My brain must’ve loved hearing that because by the time I went to sleep I had almost zero symptoms and I slept a whole 6.5 hours straight that night with no nightmares!!! What a win.
Always for me. If I don’t sleep symptoms get worse.
Me today - four hours sleep.
Me today too. Didn't get much sleep. Exhausted, everything is heightened. Back to Dan's playlist and some deep count of 4 breathing 👌 ❤
I don't mean to offend anyone but maybe the brain is smart to worry about survival. Until our last breath, we can figure out eternity. I was very scared of death. Is there a heaven and hell? Thankfully God is merciful and sent his Son to die for us. John 3:16 set me free. Still have a problematic brain and I probably will until the day I die, who knows but now at least I know it has an ending because I know I'm going to heaven. LOVE DAN'S STUFF... his videos and Dr. Sarno has helped me overcome pain, with acceptance of myself, working through the pains that come and go by calming my brain to feel safe. SO GRATEFUL for this information. But let's be realistic this world can be dangerous, but also we can stay calm and trust God to take care of us. I hope you all know Jesus as your Savior. God bless!
I always start out by telling my brain I love it.
Did this in bed last night.. Raging hip pain(severe arthritis) Talked to my brain like it was my inner child... It went within five minutes and I was able to get back to sleep until the next time.. Rinse/Repeat. So grateful Dan.. It's like a miracle 🙏💫💖
Just listening helped my mind to stop panicking.. It's messing with my stomach, and I know there's no issue.. thank you!
The mindset truly has been the biggest thing for me. So many times I’ve thought that if I just do more I’ll get better, but I was still focused on fear so symptoms would get worse and I’d freak out and start questioning everything and the cycle would begin again. I’ve finally gotten my mind in the right place and now when symptoms increase I know why and the fear comes down and symptoms start to settle. It really has to be reinforced by your thoughts, and then your behavior teaches your brain you’re actually okay. It’s not easy, but staying consistent is key.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Absolutely. Just can't seem to get it. 👍
@@merildoit’s taken me a long time to get it. It’s still a struggle, but I just have to keep reminding myself that I’m okay and then focus my mind on other things. It’s something I have to practice doing every day. One moment at a time.
Excellent comment 😊
Yes, it is your mind racing and fearful thoughts that trigger the danger in our brain, yes? For me I’m first dealing with vestibular issues because they have stopped me completely but afterward I will focus more on the pain.
You know there's that saying, "talking to yourself is the first sign of madness"? That's just not true. The power of the spoken word is very powerful! We need to work in unison with our mind, body and spirit not against them. The brain needs to have the message relayed to it that we are, in fact, not in danger but well. Thanking the brain for looking out for us but letting it know that we're not in imminent danger is a perfect example of how we can work with our brain rather than against it.
Thanks for reminding us, Dan. X
Based on this I just found a really good way to talk to my brain which calmed symptoms down very quicky, I had kinda been at war before but this is so much better. First I got a really happy memory in my mind, then said to my brain, I know what's going on on here, you're using the wrong neural pathways because you think I'm in danger, but i'm not and there's nothing wrong with me. wouldn't you like to go back to doing things like (the happy memory). and I said in your own time you can go back to using the correct neural pathways then we can go back to doing all those happy things. but having the strong happy memory in mind, something that's really emotive sends a strong signal of safety and warmth the brain. it really helped me anyway.
This is fantastic - I love this approach.
I love this! It has helped me so much to visualize riding my bike and how much I love to be on the trail and feel the wind on my face and smell the trees…wow my brain didn’t have a chance to give me symptoms 😊
Dan just hearing your voice is relaxing
I need constant reminders of this Dan.. I need to talk more kindly to it.
Thank you I am going crazy here I have a long flight to catch and my whole body and mind is shaking from anxiety. I will try this one.
Dude I’m so bound up and anger and/or tears rises quickly. I freak out because I got a lot of work to do. I deserve peace and freedom. May I make peace with my brain and body.

Thank you so so much💚💚 From the reminder to take a couple of full breaths and relax the body at the very beginning to all of the incredibly wise words throughout the video-these are the VERY reminders that so many of us dealing with XYZ need to hear; so that we can reach a state of “ease” (as opposed to disease). I love the idea of having a more playful approach with regards to how we communicate with our brain-it makes perfect sense to me, whereas before it could kind of feel like drilling affirmations into my brain as opposed to kind communication. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Excellent video! Exactly what I needed this morning. THANK YOU DAN!!!
This one should be included in your fast start list. Love it
YES!
Ppl need to realize symptoms don’t go away right away takes a bit
❤Very Important video! Thanks Dan. I think too many people are at war with themselves...we need to form a partnership with our minds.
Perfect timing today! I had a day yesterday and went down the rabbit hole with my self talk! Talking in a playful kind peaceful voice ( which is what I do with the cats at the shelter I work at- which almost always calms them ) is a great example of how to work with my brain. Thank you ❤
For some the exploration of sub-personalities might be helpful.
This was absolutely God's timing for this video to be today's video❤ I had a very emotional day yesterday. A family member is going through a serious medical thing, and we have sick pets, and other things, and it all really hit me yesterday. And then insomnia and nightmare last night. BUT, I had a really good week before this, and I've been making progress and gaining momentum, and yesterday was hard, BUT I didnt crash as low as I used to, and I didn't feed into it or create stories around it....I'm learning to process emotions and dial down the intensity, and I could still see that progress even on a really hard day. Focusing on teaching my brain that just because "life gets life-y" I don't need to go down old pathways, and I can deal with the task at hand without everything falling apart. Thanks Dan, this was exactly what I needed to hear today.
I could (and should) listen to this particular video EVERY day. Thanks for the “script,” Dan. VERY helpful!❤
My brains an a hole 😂😂. Like starting out the day with a laugh.
That made me laugh too. Laughter is always good medicine 😅
I had a good laugh at that bit too!! How good!!
Why the focus on the brain alone? We have a whole body
Because the body is not the problem causing the pain. I explain here: DansFastStart.com
Yeah, I agree. I don’t need to “yell” at my brain. Counter productive.
Thank you Dan. I was struck by the similarities of what you were saying with the suggestions that my therapist encourages me to say to the traumatized infant within me. Your daily videos are an incredible gift, so often you hit the topic that is so relevant to my day. Thank you very much!
This vid should be given to every kid❤ Think
The pharmaceutical companies don't like this
No they don't.
Thanks Dan. What a fantastic video. Full of great dialogue with the brain!!!!!! ♥♥
Really hard to have a positive self talk when your legs on fire, just in absolute agony, knowing that it happened making a company six figures of revenue, and not a dime of it was reinvested into equipment to spare labor, and I degenerated my body doing that labor 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I used to be strong, fit, athletic as hell.. now I’m weaker than shit, I have nobody, nothing but these pills, and they barley work.
Liking this idea Dan. Putting it into play 🙏
It seems I have CRPS.
Months of pain, then burning too.
The burning spread..
I'm now reading ' The Way Out ' by Alan Gordon. , Have another book for after too, and am devouring RUclips videos..
This one made sense. 👍
I can't sleep at night anymore but i might be in real danger...i live in lebanon and just saw that tanks are approaching our borders & I've seen what they're doing to our neighbor country..too scary. This calms me for a bit though..thx
Dan I cant even begin to express how much your videos have helped me. Actually, your videos are the ONLY vides that help me. I cured myself once from pelvic pain using this TMS approach- all by watching your videos…. However recently ive been trying to taper off a medication that is notoriously very difficult to taper off of and my brain has once again convinced me that I cant do it, my anxiety got super bad again and my pelvic pain INSTANTLY came back 🙃 im back to watching your videos as they are the only videos that give me hope
@ariannateodora5469 I'm so sorry to hear the pelvic pain has returned and you are getting anxiety. That is the withdrawal causing it as you know it's awful but you will get through it you are strong as you have done it already and I will do it again. I'm at the beginning of my journey I've pelvic nerve pain also , I can't sit because of it, I can't lie flat on my back as I've left glute pain also. So I came across Dan's channel now and I've listened to all the fast start videos he has so kindly done and I'm so grateful to him and look forward to having no pelvic nerve pain. Do you have any tips on how you followed Dan's program?
It sounds like something my mom says all the time tell yourself you're not going to be in pain and you won't be in pain tell yourself you're going to walk without having to have a cane for Mobility if you weren't so depressed wouldn't have these problems just think good thoughts just try and tell yourself you're not going to be sick and you won't be after having doctors do MRIs and studies on my scoliosis and fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome rheumatoid arthritis these were things I had all through my life I was born with them and I hear these exact words coming from your mouth that comes from my mother's mouth and my father's makes you think
❤I really believe you love us all❤ Thank you Dan❤ All your videos are wonderful. ❤BOOM❤
I'm sick with whatever it is for over a month, every blood work shows I'm ok no danger, but my brain was saying opposite. You have no idea how I needed to hear that. Thanks a Million ❤❤❤
Thank you, Dan. This is exactly what I needed as I am a quietish person, i e not valuable or chatty. I need the script as I don't find it easy to just riff. God bless you.❤
Yes. Script. More structure. Good for me. 👍
Thank you, Dan. You are my friend and teacher. Your follower from Morocco
Very glib and not at all helpful for people with 24 hour unrelenting pain. Might help you get through a dental procedure but pain is real and anyone who tries to tell you it's false doesn't understand your perspective.
Hey Paul. I had 13 years of really bad pain. Yes, pain IS real. All of it is realy. It's the danger that is perceived, not the pain.
Learning the true cause of chronic pain is the starting point. Once you understand, then you can begin TEACHING your brain that there is no need for the chronic pain. If interested, check out my fast start playlist. DansFastStart.com
This stuff works. PainFreeYouSuccess.com for many success stories.
Dan, I just got the book Why Pelvic Pain Hurts and it’s sooooo good! Teaches everything you say and is solidifying my knowledge! You are a gem!
Thank u from th uk I’m trying so much cronic pain . Don’t want to be hear . Can’t cope .
There is a way out and this channel and my videos can help. Begin with my free fast start playlist. Watch, take notes, IMPLEMENT the concepts. Repeat until well. If you want direct help, consider my group coaching program. PainFreeYouGroup.com
I'm so ready to begin this process as I have been suffering with chronic back pain everyday for 16 years. Until I begin reading Dr. Sarno book I did not realize that my anxiety and TMS was responsible.
Start now. Watch my fast start playlist: DansFastStart.com - watch, take notes, implement, repeat until well. This is the solution.
Do you know if this work against low neurotransmitters?
Yes, when the brain believes you are safe, the entire body and nervous system returns to function and balance.
You are so great and thank you for your inspiring words.
Dan I’m a young gentlemen from Trenton Nj, I’m going through post acute withdrawal from smoking and I’ve always had chronic stress and anxiety , also have pelvic pain syndrome. Does PDP occur in withdrawal as well? Have you had talked to anyone in recovery ? I am in constant the fear past month, Or is my body just recovering?
Hey Dan--good stuff, here. getting ready to dive into this work in earnest, but a question: are we (you) using BRAIN and MIND interchangeably? Thanks.
What if the pain gets bad all day and nothing is helping, so you resort to pain medication? It's only when it's really bad, but then I feel guilty for resorting to medication. How do you deal with the guilt of taking the pain med when you're trying so hard not to take it.
Thank you Dan! Really needed this today. I’m looking forward to joining your group this week!
Should you use first person or is 2nd person more powerful?
You can experiment and see which lands better for you. I don't have data to indicate either way is better.
Thanks Dan. What are the 12 things that Sarno said to do? 😊
1 Understand that pain is not always the result of serious injury.
2 Recognize that many cases of back pain are associated with emotional and psychological factors.
3 Explore your emotions and stressful factors that may contribute to pain syndrome.
4 Consider relaxation, meditation, and breathing exercises to manage stress and pain.
5. Maintain an active lifestyle and engage in physical activity appropriate for your condition.
6 Learn techniques to improve your posture and maintain the correct body position.
7 Try to develop a positive attitude towards your health and life in general.
8 Do not pay excessive attention to pain and do not let it control your life.
9 Avoid unnecessary medical procedures and medications, especially if they do not provide meaningful relief.
10 Do not look for the "perfect" treatment for back pain, but focus on a comprehensive approach to your health.
11 Communicate with other people suffering from back pain and seek support in groups or communities.
12 Remember that every person is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
Thank you Dan I really need to know the way to speak to my brain and all the examples that you have given us are really helpful.! 🙏
I relax just listening to you
Dan's voice is just soothing somehow! 😊
Excellent! Thanks.
Is it better received by the brain in first person using I?? Or is it more effective using You??
I think "you" is better when addressing your brain. It's like your Higher Self, the part of you that is calm and centered and wise, is talking to a frightened part of you. (Inner Family Systems, Richard Schwartz). *Maybe I misunderstood your question.
I want to work with you. I've plateau'd in my healing. I'm an Army veteran and someone who experienced child abuse.
Hi Dan, thank you for all your work!!! I’m just wondering, from your experience do you think when some people have no physical pain and overcome a lot of TMS that they can hyper fixate on their appearance as the next thing to “fix” ?
Thank you
Siobhan
I'm not convinced that is TMS as TMS is generally defined as symptoms or pain created by the brain. A fixation on appearance is just a behavior - likely created by not feeling "enough".
@PainFreeYou yes! Probably so but still some of the12 steps and things you talk about can be helpful! Thanks Dan :)
Been doing this so long. All the same things. But feel like it's not enough for my overactive analytical brain (not my words )
Because of migraines I find distraction difficult. Is there anything more structured I can do Dan. Great video reminder. Thank you. I will try earlier in the day. Not just as and when. Take care. X

My headache are gone! You can do this. I did use medication but gradually backed off of it. I do allow myself times of pain so I could show my brain I wasn’t concerned… keep implementing!
Love it. Awesome. @@christinehorne5165
@@christinehorne5165 it's not headaches. I can deal with them. Migraines every night. I'm asleep.
Thank you
Thank you Dan it sounds so easy but I wish my brain would listen to me LOL I have a lot of muscle tension in my spine was giving bad advice which I did for 9 months and just made things worse anyway I'm at the gym and I'm keep on pressing on trying to convince my brain I am safe I'm not in danger I took the assessments I don't know what else to do I'm taking your advice and it seems like when I exercise it tightens up even more I know it's trying to protect me
Loved it.
Heald from 2 years of Pelvic pain.

LOVED this. I might talk to a stuffed animal. At first. So funny! I'm afraid of talking out loud, to my brain, but I talk inside, to myself constantly!!!
YOUR VEST VIDEO EVER DAN. I also thank my mind when I have a good day, hour, minute, sleep.
Right on
Great video.I will talk to my brain more often.thank you so much for sharing this very valuable information..
Thanks for this. I'm going to listen twice! I'm in total agreement with you. I forget though. I'm going through a bout. My pain is always shifting around. Haven't had symptoms for a few years but now something has cropped up, hip pain, and I almost forgot about TMS, until the Doc told me there's nothing wrong with my hip. It just dawned on me out of the blue to look at my emotions, do journalling, listen to videos on TMS.
I like the examples you gave of the different dialogues one could have with one's brain, Will put them to practice for sure. Thank you.
I do all the stuff. And I feel great. But after 4 months I had a setback and all symptoms come back. Maybe I want to quickly? The setback is like hell. So many symptoms. I can’t be positive. Because I feel zo awful.

Does anyone else have flare-ups of pain after eating sugar?
I have been on the carnivore diet trying to lessen the inflammation/pain. The diet has cooled the pain slightly, but if I cheat on the diet and have a little poison, I flare up?
I know... don't eat the sugar! 99% of the time, I don't, but I am human!!😂😂 I'm just curious if anyone else experienced a flare-up after eating sugar?
One thing to change is to stop calling the sugar "poison". If that's your belief, how do you think your brain will react when you eat this "poison"? With fear and pain. You are also convinced that sugar is causing inflammation and that's causing the pain. That belief is why your brain turns on pain. That belief is incorrect. Billions eat sugar all the time and don't have chronic pain. It's the brains perception of danger that causes pain. The first video in my fast start playlist explains what really causes pain. DansFastStart.com
It is poison, but I get your point! I will change the way I talk about and view sugar!!😂😂
Thank you! I do have to say, my pain started years before I was aware that sugar is extremely bad for the human body.
But your point is well taken!! But our health care system is bulging at the seams because of Metabolic issues that can be changed through diet. So , to say billions of people , each sugar with no consequences really is not true.
@PainFreeYou I have started your program and I am willing to do the work, but lying to my brain about sugar seems counter productive. The brain is a intelligent computer, I would assume it already knows sugar is poison just the same if I drank bleach!!😂😂😂😂 pretty sure my brain would be aware of the danger!!
Anyway, thank you for your comments and I will do what is necessary to beat this pain!!
Thank you!
Hey! This was really helpful. I agree teaming with your brain is the way to go. We don’t need to shame ourselves- that may be how we got here in the first place…I also like to use funny words to name the symptom. It worked for me in the past and this was a great reminder to apply it to the current symptoms I am experiencing. Speaking to myself out loud is something I will apply this time! Thank you 🙏
I said to my husband this week that Im gonna be talking to my brain out load a lot more often , he said. ‘So whats new?” 😂😂
I chat away whenever Im walking or working in the garden…my brain will be sick of me 😂 ❤
I have T N and the pain is unbearable at times . I can have up to a 6 wk flare up . A few months ago ,out of desperation with the pain been so intense . I asked my healing angel to come and take this pain away . I ask 4 times every-time and the pain goes away 🙏 Wether it is mind over matter the pain goes away x I feel it is a miracle every time . I also do frequency meditations on you tube and these calm my brain and body completely and takes the pain away x Great video thank you x
What’s the meditation x
In a nutshell, be calm, yet have a playful attitude when talking to your brain. Out loud is preferable, but not necessary. Let your brain know there’s nothing to fear, and that it can turn down the symptoms.
One of your best! And very timely for me today 9/21/24
I already talk to myself, and they catch me doing it all the time lol 😅
Thank you for what you do and the timing of your guidance messages. God bless you🙏🏽
Thank you. Same to you!
There’s so much good stuff in this video I had to listen to it twice!
All pain is percieved to some degree. You’re just rebranding mind over matter.
But what if you really do have real evidence of a chronic threat - such as hostile actors in the workplace daily. Then you can’t keep telling your brain there’s no threat.
I was totally going to say, my brains an A hole lol
Same for everybody.
Great video. My brain is an asshole! That really made me chuckle 😂
Can it possibly be both a real problem like herniated discs that were aggravated and having pain and then turning into ptd I think that's the case with me
I have pain that feels like a broken bone.. to be pain free you need to be confident, to be confident you need to be pain free.
My body still gets worse with psychosomatic no matter i tell my brain
Super helpful. and clear! Thank you.
Hey Dan, I want to express my gratitude for all the valuable work you do. Your contributions mean a lot to me.
I have a question regarding your role as a TMS coach. Do you think consistently discussing "chronic pain" in your work might inadvertently signal to your subconscious that it's still an important issue for you, potentially leading to its manifestation in your own life? I've come to strongly believe in the principle that what we focus on, we attract. While I'm contemplating becoming a coach myself to help others, I'm concerned about whether constantly talking about chronic pain might inadvertently trigger it in my own life, despite my complete understanding and belief in TMS. I'd really appreciate hearing your perspective on this.
While that may happen if you are still fearful of TMS, it doesn't happen to me. I am SO confident in TMS as a real thing and what to do about it that it doesn't phase me at all. I'm not afraid of TMS and so it doesn't happen. If I get a twinge, I know what it is, give it no attention or fear and it goes away. I'm not concerned at all. I've ben chronic pain free for 14 years and coaching for the past 7 years.
@@PainFreeYou I appreciate your response! So it's all about fear. Works for any situation, not only pain! Thank you so much. What an inspiration.
Do you do one on one therapy? Where did you learn this?
Great video Dan, as always!!
I needed this. BIG time. Thank you
