    If I could “shout from the rooftops” just one thing, it would be the impact of your thoughts and emotions on your physical body (particularly your pelvic floor). The best way for me to explain this is by sharing my story. May it offer you comfort and a little more understanding about the mind-body connection.

    I'm a 44 yo male, retired Marine with several combat deployments. In 2020, 4 years after I retired from service, amidst COVID, a long list of personal stressors including marital, financial, existential & parental, I BROKE. Had a triple header of panic attacks which landed me in the ER. 3 visits over a 4 week period. Talk about that LOW point? I can 110% relate to every single thing you've said in this whole video. The self loathing, as I reflected upon "who I was" versus whom I had become, "this isn't the man who led Marines, or the one my wife married," or I'm a disgrace and a dishonor to all those great leaders who made me who I was," etc, etc. Those narratives literally broke me. Since that time, I've suffered with health anxiety, hopping from one horrible illlness to another, hyper body vigilance, cat scan for brain tumor, HIV tests, heart scans, the list goes on. I remember so clearly, sitting on my bedroom floor, feeling that my mind was shattered and I'd never be able to pull the fragments back together. One of my symptoms has been to fixate on my post urinary dribbling, convincing myself I had some major urological problem. Sure enough, went to the doc to get urinalysis and blood test for prostate and all things urological. Again, all tests came back good. What I had to eventually discover on my own was that I was clenching my pelvic flloor constantly, in an effort to mitigate ANY post void dribbling. Checking my underwear over and over after I would pee because I was SURE that THAT time, I lost some urine. I'd check yet again, and sure enough: dry. This symptom is the one that seems to come back during periods of high stress and/or depression.
    Anyway, I've gone on and on, but I had to respond given the pure authenticity you've put on display here. And you're right-I don't think we should share our story until we're at least coming out the other side.
    A friend of mine had some great advice for me when I disclosed this stuff to him. He said; "You BROKE in 2020 and you need to own that." Wow. While I certainly had accepted the fact that my panic attacks forever changed me, in several GOOD ways, as well as challenging ones, I had not REEEEALLY gone deep into what that acceptance meant. By acknowledging that I did in fact BREAK, I found a huge sense of liberation.....I no longer "HAD TO" be THAT guy anymore, with all the extreme outlooks he had onto. I could let him go. It's still an ongoing process of acceptance and mourning, but what I've learned is that there is no going back. Each time I've tried to go back abd find that guy again, and use the same aggression and zero defects/"death before dishonor" mindset to deal with my challenges, I suffer. My symptoms get aggravated and I become deregulated.
    I now dream of helping other vets and first responders escape that loop through my own story. But first, I have to complete this process of metamorphosis because it's still a battle.
    "You died, and your life is hidden with God."

      Thank you for opening up and sharing your journey. It's evident how deeply you've been affected by the challenges you faced after retiring from the Marines, especially during the intense times of 2020.
      Your description of how you reached a breaking point and your subsequent struggles with self-identity and health anxiety resonates profoundly. It's encouraging to see how you've gained insights, even finding liberation by acknowledging your "break" and embracing change.
      Your aspiration to help fellow veterans and first responders is admirable. Your own experience can indeed be a beacon of hope for others on a similar path. Remember, healing is a process, and your determination is commendable.

    I have so many thoughts about this video and I am so appreciative of your story!! I am on the cusp of 40. During lockdowns I dropped 10 pounds I couldn't spare, lost my period (which never returned), and developed prolapse. It was all a direct result of the damage that time period did to my mental health. I am getting physically stronger slowly with time, but I still feel incredibly lost in life. I keep reminding myself I deserve some grace about this....masks only came off in my city a year ago, and that alone had been a severely re-traumatizing issue for me. I think we all lost autonomy over our bodies and minds during that era, and for thoughtful/sensitive people such as yourself that is bound to have far reaching implications on body mind and soul. Thank you so much for being open about this! All best to you❤

      Thank YOU for sharing your story, and thank you for watching mine. The lockdowns impacted all of us in unique ways that will probably be noticed for years to come. It was a strange time... but we CAN rise from it. Give yourself time to grieve the changes, know that you're not alone, and know that there's hope on the other side of all this. Gentle movement to help process the emotions that come up, and self-love practices such as my morning affirmations for pelvic health can be such a balm: ruclips.net/video/WKcIGlWu3HM/видео.html Best wishes to you!

I didn’t lose weight I lost all muscle in my body, including butt, hips, pelvic area, my old 4th degree tear scar tissue started tending up so badly it gave me neuralgia symptoms as well as I lost the ability to orgasm (I think from loss of muscle and pinching of nerves) It has affected me badly.. along with bad pain especially during my period.

I’ve been going to a lot of physical therapy, but now I need badly to find a therapist to help me get over the one thing after another that got me physically in a mess of this hellish physical pain. Thank you so much for being vulnerable to the world. I am hoping now that I can work on my mind in order to heal my body. You, dear girl, are so fantastic.

"Mother wounds" can hurt SO DEEPLY since we are energetically tied to our mothers, even if we are very different people or if we disagree about things. I'm glad you were able to move through the pain, and that you were able to make some connections about the mental/emotional impact on your stomach. Interestingly, the stomach is part of our digestive system where we break things down... Likewise, when emotions have a hard time being "broken down" and "digested," they often present as stomach issues! Isn't the mind-body connection cool???!!!

    Thank you so much for sharing this! My perfect storm hit about seven years ago and greatly impacted my pelvic core. I hit menopause, my son left for college, and we moved to a town where I did not have any friends. I’m still grieving, mostly because I don’t know who I am or what I’m supposed to be doing. But, it’s getting better, because once I realized I was grieving, I was able to start processing that. Thank you for the explanation you’ve given about the connection to the pelvic floor. It really resonated with me and I know will be a positive force in me continuing to move forward. I’ve got to find a place to do some dancing. I remember in my childhood, wishing I could take dance lessons. I really just want to be free to express myself how I want to and not how I think others might be thinking I should. I almost forgot to mention that I actually had internal prolapsed hemorrhoids and ended up requiring surgery to repair them. It was definitely devastating, and as taken long to heal than I expected , but I am healing! I may actually feel “normal” in my rectum again! Yippee!

I love that dancing is calling to you so deeply. Dance is a wonderful practice for moving stuck energy through and releasing it so that you can feel like YOURSELF again... I wish that everyone would dance every day. I encourage you to find a private space in your home and just put on ANY song that moves you. Let your body move however it wants to, whether it's fast, slow, or anything in between. Even "dancing" lying down on your bed or sitting in a chair is possible! Dance like no one is watching (because no one is)... and LET IT MOVE THROUGH. You've got this!

    You sharing your story was so touching. About 6 years ago, when I was 54, my Mom collapsed in the other room, she was not breathing and I called 911 to help me. I could not get her to breath and she passed away. She was my best friend and I cannot get this day out of my head. I miss her and still cry if I talk about it. This all happened a few months after having surgery for a chronic fissure that was excruciatingly painful. Then lost lots of weight, ibs popped up, then found out I have grade 1 bladder prolapse, severe posterior compartment prolapse, perineal descent and rectocele. I was in a state of shock. My entire life was rocked upside down. I'm still battling with all the emotions and do see a psychiatrist and psychologist. Pretty much lost friends because I have such a hard time with food (most everything seems to bother my gut, then the pelvic floor). FYI- I found out about pelvic floor after asking uro-gynecologist to order an MRI defecography after being told, after physical exam, nothing was wrong. Was having the spasms you talked about. I have seen mant PT's and they did the best they could. I listen and practice your videos almost every day and it helps me get through the day. I still pray that my gut and emotional state improve. I meditate and walk every day. It is so true about how your emotions affect your gut and pelvic floor. You give me hope! 😊 Thanks for sharing so many things, it really does help other people.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your experience chimed with mine, in a weird way, which no one has believed. Last summer, I went from no prolapse at all, to full grade three uterine and bladder prolapse in the space of two weeks. This was immediately after my daughter told me her marriage was ending, after years of horrendous trauma, as her husband wanted to transition to being a woman. My reaction was that “her world was falling apart” and my body went into grief and started to fall apart. My doctor of course dismissed that as no one gets a full prolapse in the course of two weeks. But I’ve always recognised how the mind affect the body. I suspect I may not be able to reverse a stage three prolapse, but inspired by your story, I intend to see if I can make a difference to what I’m experiencing. Thank you for all your work, and for giving hope to people in whatever stage of grief they are going through.

I have been grieving too (several things) and have had to turn up and work (see patients) when inside I have been fighting an emotional battle. I really appreciated (and needed) your kindness and encouragement today to keep going, but also to listen to and trust the wisdom within my body. Thank you for sharing your personal heartbreak. Your battle and bravery are truly appreciated and seen. :)

      Sending you so much love! Thank you for watching, for witnessing, and for sharing your own struggles as a clinician. I agree that it can be hard to show up for our clients when we need to "show up" for (and tend to) our own emotional challenges. At the same time, as we learn to hold all of our emotions, we can see how our challenges and struggles make us stronger, more compassionate, and wiser healthcare providers.

    I am so sorry this happened to you. To me, emotional pain is more real than physical. for me, the hardest trauma I ever went through was my veteran son unraveling. He married and had kids, but reached a point where he just couldn't cope any more. He attempted suicide four different times. The VA wanted to permanently institutional him, but our family decided we'd care for him. All his children wanted badly to be around their dad. He's made it back. He's healthy and in a good relationship now. Emotionally, for me that was the single hardest moment of my life. You are right about the stories. The most important thing you do is be honest with yourself. There are no wrong feelings. Just acknowledge where you are. And your stories change as the experience gets farther away from the moments of crisis. That can be really healthy. Just writing about this now helps. Physically I dealt with all of this by practicing yoga and tai chi and my faith, immersing myself in music that eased my soul. I expected to cry daily as part of my exercise and I felt pleased when I did. I'm a different person from who I used to be. Now I am more at peace. I laugh often, and see the absurdity all around me and just accept it all. I do my very best to tell the truth, especially to my grandkids who lived through the crisis too. For all of you out there who are in the middle of something terrrible, it will get better. Hang on. Find something to believe in. Find exercise that gives you passion. If possible mix those two elements together. Blessings to you all.

    Oh my gosh, you have been such a blessing to me by sharing what you shared! I have 3 sisters, and I have always been the active one. The gyno told me to learn new hobbies that don't require me to be on my feet. I was crushed. It has been roughly 4 months since moving from a stage 2 bladder prolapse to stage 3 and from a one to a 2 rectocele. At this stage, I began feeling pain. My sisters get angry with me for continuing to move and do the things I love. I've been trying to educate myself on what I can do to promote healing and not do further damage. For the 1st time in my life, I'm sometimes walking like an old fart. I was water-skiing easily 2 years ago. I'm trying my best to keep a positive attitude. I have never experienced depression, but now I have a much better understanding of what those who do, must feel like. I loved and was comforted by your statement telling me to give myself grace, and it was ok for me to grieve. I do have a good cry every now and again. Then I say what's done is done and move on. I have noticed the videos being made encouraging others are all being done by strong, active women who refuse to give up. I am one of those women. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

    Bri, thanks for being "real". I'm a retired OT, but during COVID lost my Mom, 8months later lost my brother who was her primary caregiver. At the time i was practicing and I knew how to get others through pain, grief, sorrow...so I knew I had this thing called grief. 1.5yrs later, I'm always tired, feeling unmoored, not myself, prayed, implemented my usual methods for suffering. Puzzled as to why I was stuck! Went to a counselor and in the process tapped into my great grief about my losses. I'm going forward now, but the grief comes in waves. Lesson: when I'm not feeling myself pay attention to what my body is saying. Thank you again!

    • @vibrantpelvichealth
      @vibrantpelvichealth  7 месяцев назад

      I'm so sorry to hear about the profound losses you've experienced. Losing your mom and brother, especially during a time when the world was grappling with the challenges of the pandemic, is an immense burden to bear. It's commendable that you reached out for support and recognized the importance of acknowledging and processing your grief.
      Grief, as you've discovered, is a complex and often unpredictable journey. Your insight about paying attention to what your body is saying is incredibly wise. Our bodies often carry the weight of our emotions, and tuning into those signals can be a powerful way to navigate through the waves of grief.
      It's also a testament to your resilience that you sought counseling and are moving forward. Grief doesn't have a fixed timeline, and it's okay for it to ebb and flow. Each wave might bring its own unique challenges, but acknowledging them and allowing yourself the space to grieve is an essential part of healing.

For a while i was not able to walk, so i crawled everywhere in the house! I am still negotiating my pelvic journey. Truly believing that their is heartbreak to attend to from my childhood. I have done SO much work already, healing and integrating experiences. I have felt alone in my journey, however realizing too that i am being called deeper into mySelf. To look at ways that i can love myself and start caring for myself too. I am holding that i will be able to walk without pain in my pelvis and each time i rise from sitting that i will be able to feel the ease that is available to me. I am 58 years around the sun and into my Saturn Return. I am curious to know what the bigger picture is for me!

      @vibrantpelvichealth  Год назад

      Thank you for sharing your journey and your openness about the challenges you've faced with your pelvic health. It takes great strength and courage to confront suppressed emotions and work towards healing and integration.
      The connection between emotional well-being and physical health is powerful, and it's not uncommon for our bodies to manifest physical symptoms when we're holding onto emotional pain or trauma. Your realization that there may be heartbreak from your childhood that needs attending to is an important step towards self-discovery and healing.
      Navigating a pelvic journey can be complex and deeply personal. It's wonderful to hear that you've already done a significant amount of work in healing and integrating your experiences. Acknowledging your journey and the progress you've made is essential.
      Feeling alone in your journey is a common experience, but it's important to remember that you're not alone. There are resources, communities, and professionals who can provide support and understanding as you continue on your path. Opening yourself up to self-love and self-care is a beautiful intention and can have a transformative impact on your overall well-being.
      As you hold the belief that you will be able to walk without pain in your pelvis and find ease in your movements, you are setting a powerful intention for your healing journey. Trust in your inner strength and resilience, and remember that healing is a process that unfolds at its own pace.
      Regarding the bigger picture for you, it can be a time of reflection, growth, and transition. It's an opportunity to assess where you've been, where you are now, and where you want to go in the future. Embrace curiosity and explore what possibilities lie ahead. Consider journaling, meditation, or seeking guidance from a spiritual advisor or counselor who can help you gain insights into your life's purpose and direction.
      Ultimately, the bigger picture is unique to you, and it unfolds as you continue to listen to your inner voice, honor your journey, and make choices aligned with your values and aspirations.

    I have just returned from deployment for disaster relief working with refugees. Heart-wrenching! Taking some time for processing and debriefing, I found your video. Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable with random people. I would like to share some of the connection points I found while listening. I am a Christian, faith-based counselor so my world view will be different than some of your viewers.
    Story: 'the telling of it influences whether it is hell or heaven' (paraphrase). That is so true! When we begin to change the lens through which we see ourselves, others and God, to be more true, more like a God-shaped lens of purer love, truth, mercy, grace, wisdom, kindness, gentleness, joy and justice, it brings clarity and hope. Your pastor said he doesn't tell his story until he's learned the lessons from it. I've learned that if we tell our stories, our pain and hurts, without a fuller lens, we just dump on people, and can traumatize or otherwise damage them. If we seek God's perspective, and look for ways He is comforting, challenging, guiding and growing us, even, or especially in, super hard circumstances, then we have hopeful, life giving, building up, testimony to share as part of our story.
    I also appreciate your comments on the mind body connection. The Bible says God delights in creating each of us and that we are mind, body and spirit/soul. Each is interconnected. As missionaries living in the Amazon jungle, the Andes mountains and doing disaster relief in various countries, we have been over the top of the stress charts for most of our marriage. Learning to deepen our relationship with our Creator AND care for our bodies and human relationships has been a long process and essential process. Our bodies and hearts (cognition, emotion and volition) were created with incredible healing abilities, when supported! Next, there are two things that come immediately to mind when I think of things that humans cannot circumvent: jet lag and the grief process. Most of us need a day for every hour of time difference in jet lag, for our circadian rhythms to realign. Grief - faith is a huge part of grieving well, but it still takes time and patience, with ourselves, with others and with God. We weren't meant to journey alone. He will never leave us or forsake us, even when it feels like He has. And He has given us the Church, despite its many faults. It's important to use discernment and prayer to find friends and mentors there who are further down the road to spiritual maturity. Lastly, I love the commitment to solution seeking! To me that speaks of God's over-arching plan of redemption. Jesus came not only to save us from sin, but to help us find redemption into the brokenness of life and relationships.

    Thank you for bringing this connection of mind body relationship up for discussion. I am a Feldenkrais practitioner working with Pelvic health for woman and my work predominantly focuses around trauma recovery and its impact on the pelvic floor and on our health in general.
    I appreciate your work very much, thank you x

      I'm truly touched by your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that you've found the videos helpful and that you're feeling a sense of support. Dealing with physical challenges, especially those related to prolapse, can indeed be emotionally taxing. Remember, you're not alone on this journey, and seeking the support you need is a strength.

    You put this item together sooooo very well. As a guy now 60s.. I still have times where deep pain from that region will hit me hard. I never really understood what it was but throughout my life if I saw someone fall or hurt themselves... I would always feel a stabbing pain in my low abdomen that would hurt. Stresses and life problems would often trigger long periods of additional sensitivity. I became a bit of a recluse and as I got older, when family went out..I would grab my guitar.... and write so many songs..and record them as a way of keeping my mind active....something I would do when things came to a stop. Thanks for your post ... You were brave!!! Leo

It sounds like you've found a creative outlet through music to navigate through challenging times, and that can be a powerful way to express and cope. If you ever feel the need for additional support or understanding, reaching out to a healthcare professional or a mental health counselor could be beneficial. Take care ! ~ Vibrant Support

    Thank you for validating what I had been experiencing. It took me almost 2 years to realize the pelvic pain and “infertility” I developed, at random, in my previous relationship. Was my body reacting to the stress and toxicity I was experiencing from being in that relationship. We had experienced a miscarriage and we’re trying to conceive, only for my body to decide, it wasn’t going to happen. Doctors were and still to this day unable to tell me where or why the pain exists/ed. I left the relationship some time ago, and noticed the symptoms lessen over time, and flare up following interactions with the ex. So yeah, sometimes the body will scream at you, until your mind finally catches up and actually hears what it’s saying. I’m glad you pushed through and are continuing to thrive 🙏🏽

I had no idea how emotionally devastating that would be and am dealing with that journey as I respond to this. It had made me question everything. But the answers are coming, little by little.
