😊thank you for the encouragement. I haven't worked since 2012 and stopped the gym. I'm created new stories I'm more confident in my healing and less freaking out. im doing the work and see little changes. I'm going back to the gym in September and going out more. Your an Inspiration
I’ve had a revelation that my brain sends emotional pain into my body because it knows my body is strong and can handle it. I don’t need to fear the pain.
@@Inge508hi Inge hope your healing journey is going well. ❤ Yes 48k .. a lot of people in pain. Hope they all find healing ❤️🩹 following Dan. He is great. 🥰🌸💃🏿 Have a lovely day 💕🌸
Excellent once again dear Dan! Due to some extremely stressful experiences in recent weeks, my Long Covid symptoms had flared up. But yes: as soon as I realize that these are just typical temporary setbacks, I quickly feel much better again 😅
Ty Dan bravo Ingrid🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am going to have a bright future without sensations enjoying my life with my Martin and ofcourse my super Daniel. Today a colourful day but feeling already a bit better so ty Dan love you ❤❤❤
Thanks Dan! Consistency is key (I can see that in my own experience). It will be with ups and downs, because life has made it like that... We are in it as a collective and i like the way you are helping us!
Hi Dan, just want to share. I had such a light bulb moment today, from morning i was tensed, my back kind of stiff out of sudden. Perhaps becausetoday is monday. Lol.upon finished watching this video, my pain, stiffness all vanished into thin air. Thanks Dan
I am following this path now for two days only … doing lots of walking and yoga and while doing it I feel quitte good but Its not what it used to be … I used to love it… so I want that I see myself back there I know how it used to feel… after the walking / yoga I get quite anxious because the pain hits in… but Nevertheless I loved doing it.. I creatied a mantra ‘ that feeling is the body healing ‘ 🙏🏻

Part of changing my story will include DELETING all the ads and feeds that come up on my Facebook pages for all sorts of products and services for back pain relief ! OMG ! They are so overwhelming and are a reminder that “ something’s wrong with you and you need to fix it” . No longer ! Making efforts to clean this up and out of my life. Thanks Dan. New viewer and listening to your daily messages every day now for a few weeks.
@@PainFreeYou yes, thanks Dan. I watched those a few months ago. I read Alan Gordon’s book “The Way Out” in early June and that lead me to Dr Sarno’s book Healing Back Pain from the 90’s , joined the Curable App and am feeling so well informed ! This ship is s-l-o-w-l-y turning around !
I am so ready to have great stories to tell and to close this horrible chapter of my life. Dan, thank you for continuing to encourage us. I finally feel like there is hope for me.
Hey Dan, first of all, thank you so much for the amazing video. You've been an incredible help over the past few months, and I've made significant progress because of it. That being said, I have to mention that this principle isn’t as easy to apply to CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). While it makes sense in theory, it's very challenging to put into practice. When you constantly feel like you have the flu or are carrying a 20 kg weight vest 24/7, it’s hard to simply ignore that. For example, you can't just go out and walk 10 km, even if you weren't afraid. You have to start small and build up slowly over time. It’s truly a long process, especially with the persistent exhaustion-it moves forward at a snail’s pace. Despite this, I've made huge strides, thanks to my mindset, attitude, and mindfulness toward the illness, as well as in managing my anxiety.
I too have chronic fatigue, and I just started talking to myself that I have a lot of energy, a lot of joy for life, I can do anything. I’m just talking to my brain, whether it’s pain or fatigue - it doesn’t matter that much to me. And now after about 2,5 / 3 months, My energy is really increasing! I hope I can inspire you with this ❤
I don't suggest anyone ignore their symptoms. We need to teach the brain that activity is safe, not just go do it. My fast start playlist explains a lot of my concepts. DansFastStart.com Also, you can find many success stories using this approach here: PainFreeYouSuccess.com
Thanks Dan ❤🙏🏻💃🏻 My great story is the second press of my book for junior Tennisplayers. It is a fantastic process but because of all my symptoms it’ts also heavy. But at the same time perfect to practice not to be fearful and do ‘the normal stuff’. This video helped me to remind myself : trust the journy!
Dear buddy Dan, yesterday I watched about ten videos about tms of you and Dr. Schubner, the problem is when I went to defecate in the afternoon the burning in the buttocks started and strongly, does watching the links create stress and is it considered a search error on the net, by the way I wrote a diary in the form of a message to my brain that going to the toilet is a normal thing that does not pose any danger or threat to survival, I hope it believes it and what do you think of this step
Thanks for another great vid. Based on the fact that you said you’ve been cured of chronic pain and you can load trucks etc. Then I think I am also in the same "cured" state. My pain is always there if I look for it and bend in certain yoga poses or flares up after stressful events but it hasn’t limited me in anything for over 8 years. Because of TMS I am the fittest I have ever been at 52yrs old and I’m not slowing down! If pain flares up I figure out why and know it will go away. If it moves I say to myself the symptom imperative is at work again (and usually tell it to get f'd). I jokingly say to people if my back hurts I go for a run. Thanks again I feel better again!
Can you do a talk on what to think about when pain and triggers keep returning and consumes your thoughts and when you don’t have much to occupy your time how to stop the anxiety thoughts popping up.
A key strategy is to simply engage in life and do what you would do if you weren't feeling poorly. This video will help. ruclips.net/video/fqbwoKKeVps/видео.html
TL;DR - One day I will completely forget my injury and recovery story, and I cannot wait! For years, I'd judge myself about my injury and healing story. Am I really giving my all? What would my family think? What would my future wife think? How can I explain all that happened and not seem weak to her? How would I explain this to her father when asking permission to raise his grandchildren? See how ridiculous some of these thoughts are? Then, I realized something about stories. I used to be vegetarian/vegan for roughly 4 years, ending in 2018. Tried carnivore for a short while, then high proten, low carb for a few years. Now that I'm moving back towards a more of a mixed diet, for the life of me, I cannot remember all the things I used to eat when vegan. I know I used to eat many grains and legumes, over a dozen different veggies per week, all the fruit I could find, and enjoyed cooking for myself. I forgot almost all the meals. I didn't feel I identified with that diet as some people do (gotta do what you gotta do), but I certainly did with the injury and recovery. When I returned to work after 5 years off, there was a bit of sadness on top of excitement, fear, and all the feelings. I hoped I had learned the message I was supposed to. But, like the vegan phase, here's the truth. I will completely forget everything that happened. I won't identify with these 7 or so years. I'll forget the youtube channels. I'll forget some of the treatments I tried. I'll forget most of the unanswerable questions and fears I punished myself with. If I become a co-author of my life, I'll be too busy in a new story to remember each painstaking detail.
Struggling today on hardly any sleep. Dan do you have any recovery stories around constant muscle contractions especially the neck , heavy feeling all over like I’m being pushed down , burning in fingers and toes. All my body feels like the muscles are just in constant contraction it’s frightening although I’m still trying to go for walks and ignore it all although I suspect walking is making it worse. Life is exhausting.
Hi Dan, i have been experiencing a lots of different symptoms all over my body, like pins, tingling, burning they move and get flare up and down…have any advice on this?
Dan I have been following you for the last few years. Have taken the assessment and it said I have TMS. Hear is my problem I work out with weights , I have been lifting heavy objects with no pain. I have even jogged a few times,no pain. I am convinced that there is nothing wrong with me although my MRI and doctor say I have spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease. Yet when I walk or stand my lower back and leg hurts and numbness in my feet persist. What am I missing. Can you please explain this to me.
I know when I get more stressed I get sicker. What about dealing with trauma and ptsd. That makes me sick all the time. Do I work through the old stuff or do I just keep trying to go forward. Thank you
I'm not a therapist so I'm not well schooled in trauma. But for me, I focus on safety in the now. The trauma is past. And if it is no longer happening anymore, I am not sure how going back and revisiting the trauma helps us feel safer today. If you haven't seen my fast start playlist yet, check it out. It explains what is going on and what I suggest we do. DansFastStart.com
Have a look at Gustav f 's video A Mindbody Approach to Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal | Protracted Withdrawal Syndrome. I made a comment saying if it goes on for more than about 2 years then it may well be likely
You are going to feel symptoms that's expected but just be patient and remind yourself this withdraw is only temporary and you can get through this. Keep telling yourself that and the brain will believe it.
