    Thank you Dan for your kindness in addressing this. The only video of yours I hadn’t agreed with was (part 1) of this topic.
    Some of us aren’t “digging up” anything. It’s been in the surface nibbling away at our peace for many decades. No two people deal with whatever haunts them the same. ❤

    I just found out and realised that thinking about the past is really not helping me. You have made me realise that it’s ok to not go through those traumas again and that it may in fact do me more harm than good. I feel reassured hearing this Dan - thanks yet again. I can now allow myself to enjoy my life and the future! Something I don’t think I’ve ever allowed myself to do! ❤

    I totally agree with u Dan, digging up the past and reasons as to why we feel this way is utter torture. When i was going to a therapist, all she wanted to do was talk about my past, my divorce, death of husband, my childhood, my parents etc. Everytime I left there, I felt like shit. My mental state for the rest of the day was shot. Needless to say, I stopped going. I believe that there is nothing good that comes from drudging up past trauma. There is no feel good scenario in it. Who could possibly want to feel all that weighted ugliness of y we r this way today. I just know that I want to get better starting now and going forward and building a great future, the past keeps us stuck

    Personally I think you’re right. And I don’t think you ever said “don’t confront past hurt”
    What you said was “don’t sit in your dirty diaper”
    Don’t apologize. You teach the way you want to teach. People can take it or leave it.
    People who truly have past trauma usually know it. Your point and a valid point was… digging up things from when we were 7 years old doesn’t have to be part of recovery for all of us. Most of us.
    Be you man. It’s good to listen to feedback but you are an authority here. People can disagree and go on with their lives. Thanks for your hard work.

    As the saying goes 'many roads lead to Rome'. I have been with Buddhists/Lama a couple of times and they always say 'there is nothing else then the now, this moment'. Personally I think that thoughts 💬 are the things 'killing' you. Eckhart Tolle also has some nice videos about the mind body connection. I try to live in the now and am working on stop thinking about the past; you cannot change it and cannot fix it. I did some EMDR in the past. It remove the 'edge' of certain trauma's, but the images will never disappear, only when I stop thinking about them.

    Yes, I have found that the more I think about the past, the more pain! I am trying to acknowledge them, forgive myself and others, then LET GO. It's not easy to let go, but like you say...look forward with love and positivity. Journaling is a great way to let it go.

  • @juliasusanafonso
    @juliasusanafonso Год назад +2

    I think you are right the first time Dan for many people. I have lots of quite extreme trauma in my past and trying the journaling, uncovering, revisiting, etc makes my symptoms worse. Giving myself signals of safety makes my symptoms less intense. Your work has been helping me, what you've been doing works for many! There may be some people who heal by revisiting, but I am not one of them right now. Healing is different for everyone.

    … And this is why we trust you, Dan. This is why you are successful at what you do. You are strong minded man, who is willing to consider others feelings and opinions. I have learned, speaking for myself of course, the more I try to dwell on it, and dig up the past, and I had some traumatic things happen to me as a little girl, but the more I try to pick it apart, how I think I need an apology from some of these perpetrators… The more tired I get, and frustrated. Because you have taught me that I am safe, I am not broken, I will rest in that knowledge. You have changed my world for the better.

    Darling dan - I’ve found your work and it’s closing the gap for me. After years of sickness from a virus getting severe CFS and then doing trauma work bc of a history and many many other forms of treatments.
    I’ve come to the conclusion of years of work - whether it’s a virus, bacteria, trauma mentally or physically or all of them whatever the initial stressor and danger was ultimately your tools and techniques for making the body and brain safe is the way forward regardless of the causation. (That and good nutrition, sleep & lifestyle! )
    The more prolonged chronic dysfunction goes on without resolution or at least a certain degree of sustained improvement, the more stress and trauma tend to accumulate and anchor in the nervous system -- and the more complex it becomes….. And the more Perceived danger there is!
    My background is medical so you know I’ve come at this NOW from a very rounded approach rather than myopic bc of all my research but ultimately it’s about safety in the body.
    The brain is not an isolated organ it works in connection with our body and our body is a relationship to our external environment
    for example when we are learning how to walk and talk of babies we are wiring together new neural pathways between a brain & nervous system And muscles that help us to move across terrain create sound or hear and process language ….
    So from what I am learning now from you - to me you are promoting safety and dialing down perceived danger in the brain/body regardless of causation
    I have failed miserably at brain training programs because it wasn’t cultivated around safety now I found your work and it’s like the missing piece for me I can’t thank you enough because you believe in us - in me and I feel quite tearful saying that because I’ve been at the end so many times so all I can say is thank you and I’m a little in love with you bc I feel your a beautiful soul
    Please keep doing what you’re doing ❤️

      I completely and 100% agree it’s all about safety and FEELING safe. Lots and lots of past and present trauma here. And living in a psychologically unsafe environment has just made it all worse. Everything you typed is spot on for me. Thank you for sharing this!!! I have been in financial debt for years in therapy and it has not been helpful other than someone to talk to who listens e for an hour a week. I wish I could afford the group.
      Its very hard ;mostly not possible) to feel safe when I am not in a safe environment with safe people, and that’s in the now. I have been looking for trauma-informed specialists for many years and either I had better have a lot of money, or they’re not available.
      Again, thank you for your share❤️ I may try tapping by myself next!

    Seeing the same Psychologist for 12 yrs due to past traumas before learning about TMS. She wanted to help me so badly in the pain level I was in I had no life so we did EMDR which retramautized me worse. I asked her yesterday has she ever worked with people with EMDR that had chronic pain as she always says it helps so many but it never helped me except made me feel more UNSAFE and worse. She agrees now that because of my TMS/PDP that it didn’t help at all! I still get triggers of my past because my brain feels Safer implementing Dans work so I’m getting blocked traumas and memories/flashbacks so now she suggested we do EFT tapping which is very gentle and not scary and it is helping me. We don’t do it often only when I get a past triggered! Dan your right teaching Mrs Brain we are truly SAFE in our bodies is the WAY OUT! Thank you 🙏

    Thank you for addressing this so humbly Dan, you are really an amazing person..💜
    I wholeheartedly agree that we are all different and some people really do need the therapy work.. I found that even going through therapy (different therapists and for several years) it didn’t change the TMS sensations. This work of living in the moment and safety is what has helped me the most; albeit, I am so happy I did do the therapy work-especially with my last therapist.. I have learned to look at myself and my “responses” with people, life, stress.. and shift them..
    as opposed to reacting and believing that it’s all outside of me. It’s been life changing in every aspect of my life, including my relationships..
    The work of Dr Gabor Mate is really amazing, he says “Trauma is not what happens to you, trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you”.. love this quote and so true, our perception is everything..💜💜
    Thank you for everything you do Dan, and thank you for taking the time to address this so lovingly..🙏🏼

    Yesterday my daughter said to me" you need to deal with your childhood stuff". Me: no I don't, I'm pretty sure I've moved on from that, my anxiety Agoraphobia stuff is about more recent and ongoing life crap". During lockdown I actually started writing a book & I was shocked reading it back, thinking how difficult that was for that child(me). Time in a oxygen tent which my sister didn't survive definitely left claustrophobic remnants. We are all different but I'm with you by staying in the what's happening now. We all want the same outcome, PEACE 🕊️.thanks for the video. So humble. ❤️

    I so agree with you Dan but it's, it's as you said, different strokes for different folks. I'm not someone who has much interest in my past and especially those parts of it that remind me of stuff I can't do anything about. It's over! Move on, let it go!! That's not denying trauma but creating space for the now and how much joy,peace, physical comfort there is to be had NOW. Digging up past pain, for me, is very counter productive and damaging. I just can't see how mucking around in hurtful feelings and emphasizing them can help. They don't exist in the moment......they are memories and no longer have to affect us unless we find some value in them. It's like picking on a scab. But, once again, that's just me. It's like Byron Katie says, "Who would you be without that thought?" Not repressing but consciously, powerfully and intentionally letting it go!! As far as I'm concerned that's a sign of maturity, growth and self love. That's our potential!!

    Super useful to hear. I found myself digging up the past too much and only finding new reasons or "affirmed" reasons to further signal danger to my brain because the overwhelming emotion of self-doubting and self-loathing from that past puts me in a frozen state of mind where I no longer can talk to my brain and say "hey buddy we're safe, even while visiting the past". The matter of fact is, the past was pretty bad but as Dan also points out, what can I do to a 7 year-old version of me other than give them a mental hug and tell them we are fine and safe now?
    Thank you always Dan!

    In the last 6 months I had some therapy sessions abt past trauma and depression etc... It helped me to talk to someone. But I had no change what so ever in my chronic debilitating pain symptoms. Maybe a month ago now, I stumbled on Dr H S, then Dan, and I have had a definite improvement in my pain after 2O year of it. Not totally there yet. But I agree with u Dan. Digging around in my past trauma was/is not needed to improve my TMS. What a relief ! Who wants to keep going back there. I do not believe for a second, that the therapy helped my TMS symptoms at all. If u r not sure - try it !

    Sarno was a firm believer in therapy for certain individuals as part of the TMS solution. He even recounts a story of a woman who was instantly cured 100% after a long, deep, soulful gut wrenching cry about past traumas, etc. unfortunately, almost all people don’t have access to that kind of emotional release. I think you struck a good balance with your part two tape and nothing you said here contradicts Sarno, but actually echoes what he believed.

    • @PainFreeYou
      @PainFreeYou  Год назад +1

      Thanks @JoeyB. That story of the gut wrenching cry has lead so many people searching and digging for that gut wrenching release with the expectation of an instant cure. Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone who has experienced that instant relief. It is very uncommon. Most of us have a bit more learning and safety to create.

    I know this person who talks about trauma being stuck in the body. She has done 5 ayahuasca cermonied believes she gets closer to the truth and healing her body. Guess what? She is not healed at all. After taking that plant and going through 8 hours of hellish nitemare and thinking she is getting insight. She even goes to naturopaths and still struggling..I do think our past creates the way we behave and by thinoing we could go back is just the logical brain thinking if we understand we heal...I have visted therapist and it doesnt help. I think Dan is on to something. I think we need to change behavior not understand our past.
