I read Tamara's book shortly after I was diagnosed with CRPS 6 months ago, and I've been watching Dan's daily videos for about 3 months. I was housebound this spring, and now I'm back to going for regular 40 minute walks 😊 So grateful for everything you've both shared with us!
Had CRPS for 4 and a half years. Bed bound, had a wheelchair. No life. Live in UK, exhausted ever doctor in the UK. Went Spero clinic. Then another place this year which made me worse in America. Treatments would shut my body down and give me more symptoms. Found out about Dan 3 months ago and listen to him on RUclips and I’m living life again. Dan doesn’t even know that he’s given me my life back again. Thank you sooooo much!!!
This is fantastic. If you ever want to do a success story like this one, get on my calendar at: TalkWithDan.com - either way, I am thrilled to hear of your success.
Thanks Dan. Still got a few symptoms I’m working on. Not ready just yet to do a story. If my last symptom doesn’t go away then, even tho I didn’t have it last night- so I know I can do it. I’m going to see if I can join your group in January. I hope you have space. Your videos are helping me. I just had my first holiday with my family since nearly 5 years. I jumped off a boat, swam in the sea, I danced, I walked for hours. I tell myself self no fear, whatever I have is Perceived Danger Symptoms, That’s what Dan would say!!!!!Couldn’t do this 3 months ago. Dan - your ears must burn all the time, coz I’m always talking about you. 😂 I have a plan- listen to you everyday January join your group - a little extra help Then when ready I would be happy to do a video with you. As your videos are helping me get rid of symptoms. It seems to be the last stepping stone for me to having a full life again. Thanks, Kate
There is always space. New people come in, others leave. Sounds ike you are doing amazing with your holiday and getting back to life. Try not to focus on symptoms, just teach the brain you are safe overall and there is no need for any symptom. Sometimes symptoms are more stubborn than others because they hold a bigger place of fear. Put the remaining symptoms in the same bucket as the ones that have gone already. No symptoms are any more difficult than others, other than our view of them. (fear) @@KateSummers-b3x
Thanks for the great conversation Tamara and Dan! What's helped me most is Dan's approach and meditation. To me they support/compliment each other. We all have to find our way - listening to our hearts.
I just finished my yoga nidra meditation, I listen to Dan daily and this conversation was awesome. I believe meditation calms the nervous system , it takes time. Thanks for all you do !
Discovered TMS forums and Sarno books, stopped chasing doctors and physios, slowly began to challenge the pain and get back into regular activities, read success stories as much as possible throughout the process, stopped worrying about results @@joelbasist7935
Great success story, trigeminal neuralgia type 1 and 2 , although different, very similar. Severe chronic unexplained nerve pain. Sometimes it comes out of the blue sometimes it occurs after some type of dental work or surgery. I am new at looking at all of this information and trying to implement it but I can tell you I’ve been meditating for years and it’s the only way I can knock down my pain it usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour it doesn’t go away but it reduces temporary early so I can get things done. Course it comes back that’s why I’m here. Meditation is a lifesaver for me also helps me to sleep better. More effective at driving my pain down than any medication. Because of Dan’s work, wonderful videos and success stories as well as the amazing comments that are equally as important from people that are healing, my meditation is more effective now. Because at the same time I know that my nervous system went crazy when I came down with trigeminal neuralgia after dental surgery. I was already suffering with chronic fatigueSyndrome, fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis for years I think five years at that point. I was tired in pain and an emotional wreck from the chronic pain and the lifestyle change going from running a company to chasing pain relief. They claim it was nerve damage there’s no way to prove that no MRI to prove it, now I’m realizing I think they were wrong I think it was just an oversensitized person Dealing with even more pain during this dental procedure. I don’t know I can’t see what all the answers are but it’s just making more sense the more I hear the success stories. I thanks everyone for sharing, even those that are in the midst of healing, help all of us who are trying to get there.❤
Sometimes the best meditation is listening to your daily videos. I also agree with Tamara's view on increased consciousness with meditation. That was my experience as well but it settled down.
Seven years ago my dr suggested Dr Sarno books before my next visit. I have read it several times and recently after finding by chance your videos, and after hip pain, I listened to it too. Tamara’s story really hit home for me in the personality type and how she explains the triggers. Thank you both,
I believe you mean well, but I definitely need to listen to dr schubiner, dr Sarno, dr Clarke, and other board certified medical doctors. Hearing your success stories definitely helped. Thank you!!!
The good news is that those doctors agree on the same exact concepts I teach daily. I recently met Schubiner and Clarke at a mindbody workshop in Boulder. They like the work I am doing.
Tremendous thankyou. Again many similarities to the path ive been on. These success and daily vids are something i count on and use consistently- back to belief trust and certainty, the symptoms have a power that can over ride logic. The endless loop of fear!
Thank you so much Tamara and Dan . This has been so insightful for me and I'm sure, many others 👍 It's great when the medical professionals say " incurable" and we can prove them wrong without scary sick making tablets and a traumatized brain for life Not to mention medical costs that are not needed and do nothing. Thanks so much for your time , hard work and dedication It's so appreciated ✨🌹
Thank you both, sincerely, for a very complementary discussion of this condition. It is so inspiring! Whenever I lose my way, I listen to your videos Dan, or read your book Tamara, and both give me great comfort that I can continue to improve and find new meaning even as the sensations find new places to land. I am so grateful for your continuing support and leadership.
❤ SOOO GOOD !!! Thank you so much for sharing your story Tamara, great information that I can really relate to and information I can use.. Hi Dan, thank you for having these people on your platform, It helps so much ❤
Wonderful interview! Inspiring. I may give meditation a try for my symptoms. I am driven and don’t know how to deal with downtime. It might help calm my brain! Any suggestions on getting started? Thank you.
Another amazing interview thanks Dan. Love the part where Tamara said she couldn’t lay on the floor for that yoga pose- that used to be my fav-I would be snoring within minutes, think I might revisit it again 😊
She mentioned it and showed it at the end. There is a link to her website in the description and I'm pretty sure you can get her book through her website.
I got CRPS 22 March with Singles vaccine. Both arms, vingers, wrists, arms and shoulders pain. In 2004 had CRPS only in right hand when injected anaestesia into hand by orthopedic surgeon. I am going through hell now. Do you keep your eyes open during meditation? Becsuse it seemed more like I was sitting sleeping.
I just did something what was supposed to be meditation for 45 minutes but it seemed more like I was asleep sitting up in my chair. Am I supposed to have my eyes open?
It doesn't always seem that danger is only perceived. Financial issues can be an actual danger. The possibility of homelessness, or with very little fixed income that doesn't allow for the type of healthy living and the ability to seek, find and pay for these types of healing modalities.
Tamara: did you notice that you had no wrinkles on your fingers and toes after being in water (like the bath) for long periods of time? This is one of my most bizarre symptoms. Thanks:)
Great interview. I feel that TMS and similar approaches can be used with mental health “verdicts” such as anxiety, panic disorder, depression, phobias… It is the same thing - we are in fear of them and your brain is trying to protect you . psychic pain is the same as physical pain anyway…
Great conversation! Without the fundamental knowledge as Dan teaches it so well, other techniques will not be effective. I love Dani Fagan's guided meditations- she recovered from TMS. We all have to find the our own way. (Peggy)
I read Tamara's book shortly after I was diagnosed with CRPS 6 months ago, and I've been watching Dan's daily videos for about 3 months. I was housebound this spring, and now I'm back to going for regular 40 minute walks 😊 So grateful for everything you've both shared with us!

Glad you are doing so well.
Prayers for a complete recovery & wonderful new healthy life 🌹

Thanks for your story Tamara, I had CRPS and carpal tunnel, both are 100% TMS, been pain free for over 7 years
Hi Linda
Just wondering what your approach was to recovery …..
Discovered TMS forums and Sarno books, stopped chasing doctors and physios, slowly began to challenge the pain and get back into regular activities, read success stories as much as possible throughout the process, stopped worrying about results @@joelbasist7935
@lindab5680 What is CRPS AND TMS? I have severe Neuropathy in my feet and Carpal Tunnel in my wrist. Abbreviations have always confuse me ! Thank you
@carolgeorge6409 Hi there TMS is Tension myositis syndrome (TMS), and CRPS stands for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Dan, I like when you have the teaching moments where you council the guests, very helpful!

I have suffered from social anxiety and I believe totally that my brain perceiving that danger is what is generating all of my pain
BRILLIANT story and recovery, really amazing Tamara, well done! 🤗
Thank you so much Tamara and Dan . This has been so insightful for me and I'm sure, many others 👍
It's great when the medical professionals say " incurable"
and we can prove them wrong without scary sick making tablets and a traumatized brain for life
Not to mention medical costs
that are not needed and do nothing.
Thanks so much for your time , hard work and dedication
It's so appreciated ✨🌹
Great conversation! Thank you to both of you, Tamara and Dan!
Congratulations Tamara thank you for sharing your story 🎉 and ty Dan for your contribution in this story love you loads ❤❤❤❤

❤ SOOO GOOD !!! Thank you so much for sharing your story Tamara, great information that I can really relate to and information I can use.. Hi Dan, thank you for having these people on your platform, It helps so much ❤
Hi Tamara! Amazing work you are doing … thank you both for another terrific TMS healing testimonial… I’m also in the California in the Bay Area Tamara
Developed CRPS in 2013. It has spread throughout different parts of my body. I'm desperate for help and so tired. Just found this...
This was a very helpful interview. I have all the same
Stuff. 😢
Love you both and thank you for sharing your journeys❤
Wonderful interview! Inspiring. I may give meditation a try for my symptoms. I am driven and don’t know how to deal with downtime. It might help calm my brain! Any suggestions on getting started? Thank you.
Another amazing interview thanks Dan. Love the part where Tamara said she couldn’t lay on the floor for that yoga pose- that used to be my fav-I would be snoring within minutes, think I might revisit it again 😊
Wonderful!
Don't know if it was mentioned in the interview but she also wrote a book about her experience, which was well written. "Defying the Verdict"
She mentioned it and showed it at the end. There is a link to her website in the description and I'm pretty sure you can get her book through her website.
I got CRPS 22 March with Singles vaccine. Both arms, vingers, wrists, arms and shoulders pain. In 2004 had CRPS only in right hand when injected anaestesia into hand by orthopedic surgeon.

Yes Dr Sarno mentioned this and yes ime sure it effects mine alot trying to keep going with the symptoms
So true, their is perceived danger and real danger.
What's CRPS stands for ? Thanks !
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. A medical label describing a set of symptoms. Many given that diagnosis get well with this mindbody approach.
Tamara: did you notice that you had no wrinkles on your fingers and toes after being in water (like the bath) for long periods of time? This is one of my most bizarre symptoms. Thanks:)
That's what they call small fibre neuropathy have you got any better with the TMS approach
Great interview. I feel that TMS and similar approaches can be used with mental health “verdicts” such as anxiety, panic disorder, depression, phobias… It is the same thing - we are in fear of them and your brain is trying to protect you . psychic pain is the same as physical pain anyway…
Ive had them before TMS physical as a child yes they are
