This is the most important topic you’ve covered. Especially for people with anxiety/panic attack symptoms. The amygdala feeds on behaviors - you have to prove to your brain that you are actually okay. That even means living your life while in pain/scared/anxious for a while
Hey man. 20 year old who had chronic fatigue for the past year and a half, here. I've spent hundreds on supplements but i've never felt recovered until i found you and other similar people. Thank you for what you do. Onlookers, no this is not some paid comment lol, the stuff this dude is saying is REAL. At least, in my case. Dealing with severe stress for a super long period of time is bound to have abnormal effects on the body.
Ive done the assessments and I'm so happy this is tms. I had no idea this was even a thing. So happy to learn more as i watch your videos. I dont like anything about fybromyalgia and wont even use that word anymore.
Perfect, Fibro is a medical label. Nothing more. You ARE in the right place. Wonderful news. If you haven't seen it yet, a good place to begin is. DansFastStart.com
Great video Dan! I resolved most of my emotional / mental conflicts in the past 2 years. Which is huge for to be told by specialists that I had experienced too much stuff for too long bla-bla bla.. The physical component is my last hurdle / conflict.. I’m tackling it with a slow but steady approach, which prevents me from crashing hard afterwards.. some things may seem ridiculous to a ´normal ‘ person but I don’t care. It’s MY recovery and I follow MY biological needs and capabilities / capacities. I will update my progress over time! Have a proactive week Dan and everyone ❤
Thanks Dan for all your wonderful and supportive content! I like to call increased movement, conditioning. It's very normal for our body to condition into longer or harder activities. Like you said, don't go from zero to full activity overnight. All athletes have to work their way over time to reach their goal. So what I tell my brain is that I am "conditioning" my way into feeling good, step by step, like even "healthy" people do. It's VERY normal! I'm not holding back because I don't think I can do it, I'm conditioning myself to be successful like any trainer would probably tell you. This works for other things besides exercise that I am trying to introduce back into my life.
I’m so lucky that I took to this so easily. 3 day…and by 3 weeks 100 percent better. I feel so bad for the people who are struggling with this concept. All I can say is do it. I watch Dans fast start all the time. It helped me 100%. Also the meditation video. Boom
Dan you are so right thank you so much . I keep listening like I said I would and and I’m getting better. I now put lotion oil on my body because my skin is looking fabulous and that’s why I’m doing it and I’m learning how to exercise not for pain because I wanna know what it’s like to be strong again. I’m gonna come out of this 100% thank you Dan, when I started, I was full of anxiety. I had so much anxiety. It was hard for me to even believe anything that was spoken to me, there was so much frustration that came with all those years of not sleeping in pain. but I kept with this way of thinking and anxiety and the frustration is leaving me. I’m a better person for finding your channel. Thank you. and I won’t give up because this is the truth. What you say is the truth, my emotions, creating feelings in my body and pain where there’s nothing wrong is the lie I stay with the truth and I will stay with you listening to your words and keeping myself strong, my best to all of you out there, who are listening when you have that first night that you sleep more than three hours and you wake up happy I had a win because I did that for the first time last night finally ,😊and I am really learning. Thank you Dan.❤
I appreciate you so much. Your knowledge & wisdom has impacted the way I see how the mind and body are indeed connected and that false alarms simply mean we are feeling unsafe in the moment. Your videos are priceless treasures that help pave the way to heal those who suffer from health anxieties and false beliefs that are holding us back. Thank you so much for all you do to spread messages of hope, trust, faith and compassion. You are amazing and I’m so grateful that I found your channel. 😊❤🙌
After almost a year since discovering your channel and overcoming long Covid, the frequency and magnitude of recurring bouts of fatigue has increased bringing me back to your channel Dan, I never should have stopped watching !!
This one is huge. HUGE. I think this might be one of your most impactful messages, Dan. I’ve fallen into this trap so many times, and I can see from the comments that others have as well. I get out there and do something “to live my life” and then boom. Setbacks. Sometimes for weeks. This is what has kept me stalled in a 60% cured state for the past year. I still have these absurd triggers. I couldn’t name it until now. Thank you!
Hi Dan, I’ve watched your videos for a while, but the last few weeks more ever. I’m in constant fear, I find the internet/media/ social media almost drip feeds fear all the time like a poison. It’s every where. Fear of WW3 etc etc. I worry for my kids in the future, I can’t get it out of my head. I feel like growing up, without any phones/internet etc ignorance was bliss. I miss those days.
I understand completely. But we can teach the brain that despite the uncertainties, we do not need physical symptoms. ruclips.net/video/twNl7iv4K0Y/видео.html
After a big challenge completed last Friday, the following three days I feel like I'm recovery from flu! Pushing myself outside but it's very trying. Understand that my brain is just fearful because of what I completed and is just 'protecting' so the only way out is through. Miserable overcast day here in London, next few days forecast the same, sigh. Work in progress. Thanks
Love the teaching thanks Dan. It all makes so much sense - and what’s more it works!! Such a good message - we must act on what we believe to be true. That’s how it works!!!
It’s an interesting conflict. I was just listening to Alan Gordon’s book and he recommends to keep doing the things that bring your pain down, whether it be stretching, heat, TENS, Rest, whatever, because if your pain levels are lower your brain feels safer. But I can see how that reinforces the message that your problem is physical. Perhaps if we can continue doing those things with the mindset that they are comforting, they are messages of safety and self-care and self-compassion, but not because we believe they are treating a physical malady. It’s all in the mindset around them, like everything else.
I like the thought that healthy athletes still do a lot of these things in order to keep their bodies in top condition. Maybe they can be tools toward getting back into shape rather than treating physical conditions. Just thinking out loud.
There is a big difference in the intent and the interpretation by our brains. Exercise for overall health and well being is great. When we treat physical conditions that are created by TMS/PDP, we are conveying our body is the problem.
Thanks again Dan 😊😊😊❤ I was wondering, do you have any videos more for the people who support those recovering from TMS? Sometimes i feel like it would be helpful if someone gave my husband some advice on how to support me best with this approach. Sometimes it feels like i have to convince him too, which maybe thats good for me Lol cements my new beliefs even more. Just wondered if you ever thought about making a video we can show our loved ones to help them support us on this journey? Any of your videos are probably helpful, just curious if there is a specific one with this focus...
I believe a mindbody approach can help all pain: ruclips.net/video/tNS0Eqn8N_0/видео.html However, what is the true physical issue? Have you taken the TMS/PDP assessments specifically for that issue? What do the assessments say? IsThisTMS.com
Thanks Dan you know my story and been in a really bad flare of anxiety and symptoms. My daughter had her baby and both ate well but in a new job I really hate. I have to work but symptoms in work are high and it’s now 24/7. I have been implementing everything you say and forcing myself to go into work. Is this the right thing to do when I cannot leave without another job. Am I doing something wrong? I know you say stress doesn’t have to hurt or life problems don’t have to hurt. What should I be doing ? Thanks again Dan ❤
Don’t worry about high cholesterol they have lowered the cholesterol numbers so they can sell more cholesterol drugs. Your brain runs on cholesterol you need cholesterol don’t worry about that eat a good diet get away from the process foods and even cholesterol could be your brain doing exactly what Dan’s telling you it’s doing, don’t worry about it. There are natural foods that help you with cholesterol won’t hurt your body and stay away from vegetable oil vegetable oil is killing people saturated fat is good for you educate yourself and listen to what Dan has to say you’re gonna be OK, You’re just fine Dan knows what he is talking about, you don’t have to believe the negative, believe in yourself and keep listening to Dan’s words he’s right! If the brain can work against you in your eyes, then it can also work for you by listening to Dean. You’re going to learn so much an❤ the fear will fall away . my best to you Sandy
Could you please clarify, are you saying we should stop doing things like stretching and strengthening? I understand that we need to cut back on the fixing mentality, but practically speaking if your muscles are so tight that you're struggling to do basic things like walking, stretching can prevent further injury, even if its effects are temporary. I also had chronic si joint pain for many months, and it completely went away when I did consistent core strengthening. In the summer I was also getting these weird pins and needle sensations in my back when I would lie down, and when I started doing stretches to get the upper back moving, those symptoms completely went away. None of these things would show up on an MRI, but muscles and myofasia can impact our overall health and symptoms
Does patricia did any diet follow up during the recovery for trigeminal neuralgia? Any avoiding things in food! I see her video every day i have same symptoms like her and same migraine after angry talks but i know now about TMS thanks
I am struggling with pain numbness left side of body . Bedridden 2 .5 year's. I started reading Dr sarno s book a month back. When i read or watch ur video's the pain sometimes go away n i gives me headache n panic attacks. N when this happens at that moments i ve no pain in leg hand shoulder leg . Y is this??
That is proof that your brain is controlling the symptoms. Messages of safety may convince the brain a part of your body is okay, but the brain is still on high alert and may perceive some other type of danger. Symptoms can jump around. Focus on consistent messages of safety. ruclips.net/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/видео.html
I just found your videos could you please tell me what is TMS ? When I googled it is Electrodes applied to the brain. After 3 videos I still do not know what the meaning is.🤪
It is not the device for electrodes to the brain. TMS is the old acronym for Tension Myositis syndrome pioneered by a Dr. John Sarno. My definition for this condition is Perceived Danger Pain / Symptoms. Learn more here: DansFastStart.com
This is a timely topic as I asked a related question days ago but I there was no answer given. I used to use my mind reducing my pain when I was a youngster by imagining a faucet attached to me and turning it open had my pain flow out of me onto the floor. Even now I can think my pain to a lower level but it only works while I really concentrate on reducing it. Currently I have central sensitization (allodynia) on my whole body and I yes believe it can go away. But I am on three medications that have reduced my symptoms Without two of them (third is just icing on the cake) I would be curled up in a ball pleading, "Please stop, please stop,...). Without the medications I would be overwhelmed by the pain. But if taking my medication tells my brain I think there is a real problem then my brain will not be able to heal me. I do not know how to approach my recovery, how to tell my body it is safe while taking my medication.
Don't worry about sending the wrong message by taking meds. My stance on that is that if the meds are benefitting you, view them as self kindness and compassion, but not a cure. Take them until this mindbody work gets you to a point where you no longer need the medication. Then you can work with your doctor to safety stop or taper down the medications. Learn more about the overall concepts here: DansFastStart.com
the challenge for me is that im focusing on treating pdp with my mind, but i also feel better when eating a nourishing diet. should i not eat healthy??
A healthy diet is wonderful. But it likely is not the cure for mindbody / TMS/Perceived Danger Pain/symptoms. Eat healthy for overall health. That's great.
If you had an impact to the body, a fall or accident - get it checked out. If it feels life threatening, trust your intuition and get it checked out. If a new pain begins with no obvious cause, it's likely just TMS. You can evaluate this new pain through the assessments. IsthisTMS.com
@@PainFreeYou The pain has no rhyme or reason. It came 2 days ago out of nowhere. These sort of things have happened to me for years and end up being nothing but they still put me into a state of fear and worry.
I really struggle with knowing how gradual to go. Some days, I walk 20 minutes and "flare" and I shake it off, unworried. Other days it really rattles and upsets me and I might not walk like that again for a week. Not sure how to decide a linear progression when the response is quite variable
sir i am a 21 year old female dealing with extreme sciatica on both legs it alternates my low back and buttocks hurts both of them but not at the same time i am in deadly agonzing pain 24/7 , my name is maryam too 😥please sir can you help me with coaching if possible i am in so much pain ive tried hydrocodone oral injected steroid acupuncture , morphine hydromorphine please 😥😥😥😥
Yes, I have 1800 free coaching videos here: DansRUclips.com I also offer a free fast start playlist which explains what is going on and what to do about it.

If there is a conflict between belief and behavior I think at the root there is an inner maybe unconscious conflict between belief and belief. If your/my belief in cause and solution is unshakable there would be no impact (to the brain) of behavior or any actions......... or you/I naturally would act in another way..........?
But I still want to take care for my body. I like to take massages, going to the sauna for detoxing, eating healthy... Etc. How can I keep doing my things and still show my brain I'm fine I'm safe..... Gosh. This is confusing☹️
I think it's all about your mindset. Doing those things you write are good for you. Taking care of your body with healthy activities is good self care. If you do those activities out of love for yourself and your body rather than fear, I believe it is ok.
Doing things for overall health and wellness is perfectly fine. If you are doing those things to eliminate symptoms which you have concluded are coming from the brain perceiving danger, that's where it gets confusing. But overall heath and wellnes, the practices you speak of are awesome.
Conflict I believe in you and what you're saying but if you take supplements just to help you along is that still telling the body that you don't believe
had something like that (adding a small exercise for only 1 minute!) a week ago. But because of applying the knowledge and safety messages, I recovered much faster than I did ever before, in a few days instead of months. You can start smaller so the message that it's safe can sink in more gradually. Just keep giving messages of safety, it works.
Yes, it can happen because the brain perceived the hot yoga as dangerous. But it wasn't. Rewatch this video and take not about the gradual introduction of activity AND setting the right expectation AND - most importantly, how you respond to the increase in symptoms.
This is the most important topic you’ve covered. Especially for people with anxiety/panic attack symptoms. The amygdala feeds on behaviors - you have to prove to your brain that you are actually okay. That even means living your life while in pain/scared/anxious for a while
Thank you John. Appreciate you.
I think you summed up in so few words the fundamentals of working through TMS. It’s tough to do but critical. Thanks

Learn about the true cause of pain. It's often not arthritis. DansFastStart.com
Is tinnitus due to overactive nervous system …
Yes tinnitus is curable and mindbody !❤
It's caused by perceived danger which amplifies things. Yes, it's curable with the same principles I teach daily.
Perceive symptoms

Yes know it’s my brain but In The back of my head I keep thinking my dizziness is structural or Lyme or mold when it gets bad!!
I understand the fear. Have you taken the assessments to determine that it's a mindbody condition? IsThisPDP.com
If there is a conflict between belief and behavior I think at the root there is an inner maybe unconscious conflict between belief and belief. If your/my belief in cause and solution is unshakable there would be no impact (to the brain) of behavior or any actions......... or you/I naturally would act in another way..........?
But I still want to take care for my body. I like to take massages, going to the sauna for detoxing, eating healthy... Etc. How can I keep doing my things and still show my brain I'm fine I'm safe..... Gosh. This is confusing☹️
I think it's all about your mindset. Doing those things you write are good for you. Taking care of your body with healthy activities is good self care. If you do those activities out of love for yourself and your body rather than fear, I believe it is ok.
@@lisafriedman4444 thank you for ur opinion. Much appreciated 💕
Doing things for overall health and wellness is perfectly fine. If you are doing those things to eliminate symptoms which you have concluded are coming from the brain perceiving danger, that's where it gets confusing. But overall heath and wellnes, the practices you speak of are awesome.
@@PainFreeYou thank you for the answer and the work you do. 👌
Conflict I believe in you and what you're saying but if you take supplements just to help you along is that still telling the body that you don't believe
What are you expecting the supplements to do? They do not cure TMS/Perceived Danger Pains or Symptoms.
I was convinced and did a hot yoga class for 1 hour. Now, 2nd day, I’m in excruciating pain. I can’t even lie in bed because that hurts too,
had something like that (adding a small exercise for only 1 minute!) a week ago. But because of applying the knowledge and safety messages, I recovered much faster than I did ever before, in a few days instead of months. You can start smaller so the message that it's safe can sink in more gradually. Just keep giving messages of safety, it works.
Yes, it can happen because the brain perceived the hot yoga as dangerous. But it wasn't. Rewatch this video and take not about the gradual introduction of activity AND setting the right expectation AND - most importantly, how you respond to the increase in symptoms.
What if with work you don't have luxury perse to gradually expose yourself? Can it still work if you jump into it and just be okay with symptoms?
You always make me feel better by just listening to….. have you any videos on success storeys around neck / head pain Dan ? ❤
Stop blaming yourself 😮 wow no one knows how much I do this 😢 ok I need to stop 😊 x
