- Learn how a world champion bodybuilder recovered from post viral syndrome. Chrissy Zmijewski shares her protocol to heal from chronic fatigue, body aches, brain fog, insomnia, breathlessness, headaches and a racing heart. She also overcame an intolerance to foods and sounds through mind-body healing.
Chrissy rediscovered the work of Dr. John Sarno and realized her symptoms were caused by the mind-body connection, which he called Tension Myositis Syndrome or TMS. Chrissy used journaling, somatic tracking and neurology exercises to process emotions and retrain her brain back into wellbeing.

Rebecca, every time you do a video I'm so grateful. You have such a way about your delivery... the recovery stories and yours are so important for us on the recovery path. Thank you so much for all you do. You and those like you are such a blessing to the world.
Aww, FreshAgenda your comments are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy my videos resonate and always love seeing you pop up. You are the blessing to the world too!
Oh, Chrissy, I’m so sorry you got long haul. It’s horrible. I’ve had it 5 months. This video was sooooo helpful. Must journal! Love You. 😢to hear your husband had such pain. I hope he’s healed, too. Love You both.
Love you too, Larissa! So glad to hear the video was helpful 🤗
Thank you, Chrissy, for your honesty. The mind-body connection is so powerful.
Thanks, Lisa ❤️
What an inspiring interview! I"m diving deep into these techniques and using DNRS (visualization/brain retraining). After 23 years I've exhausted protocols, bodywork, etc etc. I have no autoimmune diagnosis but I do have optic nerve damage which was the beginning of disabling neurological events triggered by stress, pharma, surgery, vaccine. Now I'm dealing with dry mouth and GERD on top of it. My issues began as very TMS -with chemical sensitiviites, chronic pain/fibro etc but evolved into autoimmune like symptoms. Doubt creeps in because of the autoimmune like neuro symptoms and damage. I'm wondering how successful TMS work is for someone like me and for autoimmune disease. I believe Dr. Sarno said in one of his books that autoimmune was a more extreme form of TMS? I have a high ACE score from childhood, was high achieving/high stress path (high school salutatorian), engineering, sales fortune 500 company---with major trust issues of medical, financial/fear based -so I fit the pattern. Using my mind/brain to heal gives me hope.
Please follow what gives you hope! Don't let fear take you over! You said you have no autoimmune diagnosis so trust that. The TMS symptoms can be similar to autoimmune symptoms. At one point, I had several autoimmune diagnosis but those resolved. Like Chrissy says, once you find what gives you hope, do the work and let the things that scare you go. You can do this Selma! P.S. - In addition to brain retraining, I find the emotional work described here is very important too.
How are you doing now, Selma?
@@tanyawieczorek6603 I'm doing OK but the toxic politics and what is going on Gaza has triggered my negative thinking/anxiety and also dealt with my mother dying and caring for this past year. Health wise I am not in neuro attack and able to hike/live life again. DNRS helped me recover from 2021/2022 severe neuro attack. I just had COVID for first time. I only had 1 vaccine since it triggered neuro attack for me. 7 weeks later I still have throat clearing/stuff in throat since COVID. So I don't know if this limbic or what. I also suffer from hypertension and can't tolerate the meds. Just diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 61 ( get your bones checked at 50 and at start of menopause!). I walked daily for 30 years/hilly 2 M walk and yoga past 13 years and that was not enough. I do think the brain retraining is key and I need to get back at it with recent triggering events/my thoughts have been very negative lately.
Thank you so very much . This has come at the perfect time. With gratitude to you both x
So glad it was helpful! ☀️
Such valuable information. Thank you both for sharing! You're helping your change the world!
What a heartwarming message! Thank you so much for sharing your kind words, which also help change the world! 🌍💙
Thank you Rebecca and Chrissy for this powerful interview and recovery- story.. as a fibromyalgia- sufferer for 17 years I am gonna watch this over and over again! Recently embraced the tms- approach and hearing it applied with such success is wonderful and life- saving! Hugs and kisses from 🇫🇷 France!🙏🤗
Thank you Inge! Chrissy is so insightful. It's wonderful to know that you've recently embraced the TMS approach! I've seen many people recover from Fibromyalgia using this approach and wish you to be one of them. Hugs back from California! 🤗
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach your answer gave me so much hope Rebecca! Thanks for having such a beautiful soul! Take care!🙏🌺
@@Inge508 You can absolutely overcome Fibromyalgia! This condition esponds really well to this mind-body healing. I also really recommend Dr. Howard Schubiner's book "Unlearn Your Pain." He's done clinical studies with Fibro with excellent results. I salute your beautiful soul too Inge! 💖
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach yes! That book of dr Schubiner is the max! So insightful and hopeful! It has become my bible!😃
@@Inge508 How fantastic that you've got a copy of that "bible!" I truly believe people can recover just by following the knowledge and practices in that book. I've trained with Dr Schubiner and can vouch that he is a saint! Keep at it, Inge. With your beautiful spirit, you will find ease in your body and so much more! 💖
Thank you to both of you for this wonderful video. It is recovery stories like both of yours that act like a bulwark when the symptoms flare up.
It's our pleasure, Krishna! I was recently practicing a soothing audio meditation on the breath and thought of you. If you're interested in trying it, feel free to reach out to me through my website and I'll email it. Looking at your own channel, it looks like you're doing beautiful work in the world! Thank you for your devotion to healing and transformation.

Excellent recovery video Rebecca and Chrissy ! Lots of very useful tips in here! The intense eye focus part makes so much sense now hearing it. This explains why hours of music production would leave me feeling so aweful. Going to rewatch this video a few times and take notes. Fantastic work, as always, Rebecca darling. ❤️
Thank you Make or Break! I'm so glad you had some ahas in this video. Were you spending a lot of time looking at the computer with your music production? If you ever want to discuss further, that could be arranged! ❤
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach I had many ahas, thank you! More than you can imagine... 😊 Yes my music production did require lots of screen time and intense focus, lighting up the amygdala of course. Not exactly soothing to the nervous system. I'd be honoured if we could chat further! ❤
@@patrickhall7884 So glad about the ahas! Psychologist Alan Gordon talks about how people with mind-body symptoms have an intensity about them. Lowing intensity, especially on screens, can be healing for us! And, I am sure we can arrange a chat! ❤
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach That's very interesting to know, and thank your for sharing that Rebecca. I've noticed that similarity in people with ME/CFS in most other recovery videos. I look forward to our chat very much! ❤️
@@patrickhall7884 As do I, Patrick! ❤
Such an amazing recovery story! Rebecca you do such a good job at interviewing. So many practical daily tips in here. Thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much for your sweet words!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this and appreciate your kindness!
Thank you both so much for this 🙏🌄

@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach thanks so much for replying. Will do!
@@patsmith5453 You're so welcome! Let me know how it goes!
I love your videos so so much. I wish you’d share every week!! ❤️❤️
Aww, that's sweet to hear Sarah! That makes me want to do more videos. I will be interviewing a client who recovered from long-Covid and Epstein-Barr soon so stay tuned! 💖
Thank you for the episode!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love you Rebecca ! All your videos are amazing
Aww, you're the best! I was hoping you'd see this one! What did you take away?
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach just everything she is talking about is the exact same situation as me, after covid.
The heart rate the breathlessness from
Simple tasks, I am a really fit young guy and I’m used to training hard and playing drums for hours, I’m still not 100
Percent recovered but More and more days are better and less fear when symptoms are coming
@@ezza1236 You are on the right track, Eric! There can be lots of ups and downs. But as you keep doing the practices that work for you, and release fear of the symptoms, they will subside. I'm glad to hear you're having more good days, my friend! 🙂
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach I remember in one of youre videos, you
Mentioned that even if you had symptoms with activity, you wouldn’t stop of worry about them, you would keep reinforcing the idea that you are Jjst training youre brain, I always think of this, I just sometimes get a down when I go through the roller coaster of emotions, thinking it’s gone and no symptoms for days at a time, but then it comes back haha
@@ezza1236 Absolutely, it's like training a puppy. We want to be consistent and confident, not to mention compassionate. Did you see this blog I wrote about a client who found relief through self-compassionate pep talks? www.rebeccatolin.com/blog/self-compassion
The fact that your symptoms leave for a while is evidence that they're mind-body! When they appear, you might ask yourself, "how am I feeling emotionally?" and give yourself space to process the stress or feelings underneath.
Are you familiar with EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique) & NSA(Network Spinal Analysis)?
Hello, I like EFT tapping and find it can be helpful for regulating the nervous system! It serves as a mini journaling + intention setting along with somatic awareness.
Hi Rebecca Thankyou for helping so many of us with issues , I am facing similar issues from couple of years and just want some help regarding same . Is there a way to connect with you ???

Can't find a link to Chrissy's system?
Thanks for watching! I don't think Chrissy has a system that she shares publicly. She just weaves together the practices that works for her!
Is Chrissy still well?
@fleurleuverink9910
Yes! Last time we were in touch, Chrissy was doing great and very physically active!
How can this help adrenal fatigue and low am cortisol due to LC?
A recent study was published finding that LC patients have lower am cortisol than normal.
How can this approach help?
Hi Tanya, Yes that was true for me too with years of CFS. I had low cortisol in the morning and high cortisol in the evening, as well as many other hormone abnormalities. But that's an effect of a hyper-vigilant brain and nervous system, not the cause. With mind-body healing, we work with the root! We cultivate a felt sense of safety through knowledge, practices and behaviors. We work with thoughts, emotions and the nervous system. This turns down the brain's danger alarm signal and thus the symptoms. You can chase hormones and such but it's often a never ending game of whac-o-mole in my experience... or you can work with the root cause!
