I did this lil chant of "Turn it up! Turn it up! Bring it on!" and I just started laughing! This stuff is making sense to me nowwwww. My recovery is hereeeeeee. Thank you, Dan!
Awesome Robin. :-)
Thank you Dan. This video was spot on. Yesterday I bench pressed my own bodyweight for several sets. First gym lifting in over 2 years. I felt great but mild symptoms tried to come late in the evening. So what? Bring it on. Brain - did you see that form, see how fast the bar went up. I'm capable and strong. They went away in a matter of hours. Your videos mean so much. Keep them coming.
Rock on! Thanks for sharing your experience. You've got this.
I tried this yesterday when fear and catastrophizing thoughts were there. And it really worked. I had a release of laughter. Thank you Dan!
Thanks! I have high levels of pain today. I went for a massage yesterday my feet were moderately hurting not a big deal. While on the table I started having thoughts about my dad being passed away and when I tried to roll over the pain in my low back was excruciating! I thought I might have to leave by ambulance because I could barely walk and my hands and arms were going numb and I was terrified. But I knew this was TMS. Shifting of symptoms and I had done literally nothing to injure myself. I made it to the bathroom to have a talk with the pain so I was able to get to my car with help. Today I’m taking it easy emotionally and letting myself know all the emotional pain I’ve been stuffing is safe to feel. You are such a support in my life. Someplace to come to when I hurt. Like my dad was for me. 🙏
Thrilled to be there for you in times of need. Good for you in connecting the dots between your emotions about your dad and the onset of this pain. You did the right thing in how you chose to respond to this situation. Bravo.
Just rewatched. I can agree that smiling is good . . . .
This is definitely counterintuitive 😬 I have a lot of sensations of anxiety and that’s what I’m trying to turn down and turn off, I will do this experiment and try it thank you!
Just watched this today. I love it. This approach appeals to me ! I had a tought last night. The old saying: if you cant beat em join em. In other words welcome the symptoms: go ahead show me prove it. Thankyou for this timely reassurance to me.
Awesome - give it a whirl.
This definitely works Dan. I was at the gym today and i nornally get bad headaches from lifting but today i told myself i dont care anymore and even if it hurts, im gonna push through it. And what do ya know? The pain didn't even come at all, first time i have ever encountered this.
Yes!!!! You made a video about “my technique”!!! This is 100% what worked for me.
Awesome!!!
Such an empowering technique...haven't been able to master it yet. For me the pain stops my mobility....and that has consequences which scare me. My brain knows but I have yet to master it unless I'm laying in bed....if I don't have to be active I can do it! Will keep working🤞
Keep at it!
You can start to imagine you are doing an activity while you are relaxed and comfortable and pain free. It fires the same areas of the brain up and maybe next time you will find the activity comes a little easier from the pain free memory ❤ dont know what Dan will think of the theory. I suffer more when I'm still and have spent hours riding in the car pretending I'm swimming laps to avoid pain so I presume it works the in the same way kinda reversed.
@@suzyswain402 Thank you for the suggestion!
Thought your neighbour with the leaf blower had followed you on vacation when I heard the boat!!
Haha - even on a quiet lake, it's tough to have it quiet.
Very interesting... bring it on!
Yes, very interesting.
Reverse psychology with my brain hein!! It's worth the try.............
yes it is.
Also when I have had an odd day of no fight flight I don't have pain. Not had a single day off since last year and it's got much worse since January. The last lockdown for over 3 mths nearly tipped me over the edge with isolation which is a massive part of my fears. Can't see a way out of isolation. More to the point I need to be addressing my anxiety then probably wouldn't feel so alone. Plus family stuff is hard too and a massive source of my emotional pain. Can't fix it as not able to.
We don't need to fix family situations to get well. We will always have stress. I have LOTS of stress in my life, but my back hasn't hurt in 11 years. You may find value in the weekly support calls and the online course that comes with the group coaching. PainFreeYou.com/join
i already know it's my brain doing this, but i also know what it's capable of and there is no way in heaven or hell that i would ever do this
I understand. It's not required for recovery. It is just one of many many many different ways we can teach the brain we are safe.
how often a day can we do that?😊
That absolutely makes me feel like I am in the driver‘s seat and NOT my symptoms hehe
Makes complete sense. I will often will pain to a certain area to prove to myself it is TMS. I needed this today. Was on the doubt wagon..thanks!
Interesting concept of instructing the brain to move the pain somewhere else to prove it's tms. Nice.
Though of this video today. I am an ultra runner and have not ran an ultra distance race in almost 2 years due to issues with mind body. Today I ran 30 miles and while I was running I was talking to my legs because they kept seizing up and cramping up. And I would tell them that we only have one more loop and I'm really sorry that I did not train for hills but we just have to get through. And I swear to God or whomever someone worships that the cramps stopped. Just thought this would be a good story
I enjoy your videos. I do wonder though if you could occasionally move past the symptoms of just pain. There are so many more that are actually worse in my experience than just 'pain' that could be TMS. Nausea, dizziness, GI problems, neuropathies, weakness etc etc. In my experience, these can be far more challenging.
If you go to my channel and use the magnifying search tool and search for those other types of symptoms, you will likely find me covering those topics. I do make an effort to say pain "or symptoms" as often as I can. Here's the channel: czcams.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
Best advice ever! I really like the first bits of the video. Can you do a guided breathing meditation with that for 5m? I think it would help
Great vid.. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
8:14 I love this this theory Dan. I want to use it for my morning anxiety, my concern is I am currently taking medication for my anxiety (that isn’t working, possibly making me worse so I plan to start tapering off) and that all of this work I’m doing to try and bring my anxiety down won’t stick because of the medication altering my brain chemicals?
I wish I never took it but was desperate.
Great topic! BRING IT ON!!!
Boom!
It moves Dan! It pain moves! I liked it in my eye. I like it more in my nose!!! Aaaahhhh lovely pain... give me more 😡 😆
Yes, pain moving is TMS.
Very interesting Dan. Thank you
You are welcome.
Gonna keep trying this.
Keep me posted on what you notice.
Great advice Dan. Good luck on the lake.
Thanks 👍
Great message! I'll try that!
Keep me posted on what you notice.
Very excited about your group coaching and everything you are doing! Did you ever finish that book " the alter ego effect" ? If so what did you think?
Did not finish that book. My reading list is over 50+ books long.
😂 🐝 I needed to laugh 😅
Dan, here's a question relevant to this video: don't you think telling your brain to "bring it on" will end up triggering its Predictive Coding apparatus and that this advice of Dr. Schubiner's runs counter to the central tenet of doing your best not to focus overmuch on tbe pain? How do you reconcile the two?
YES YES YES!!!!!!❤
Sorry, Dan, but this is a counterproductive approach to resolving TMS pain. In my view, this too often backfires, leaving one in more agony that you can’t dial back.
If the concept makes you nervous, it's not required. It's just one of many many many ways to teach the brain you are unafraid.
Have you tried it? This one thing, once I was ready was key for me.
@@Laurapartera I've given it three or four serious tries, to no good result. To me, it's just counterintuitive. Very glad it works for you.
Interesting Dan, thank you. Do you think it works for fatigue too or hyper sensitivity to light/sound etc? Depends whether these are created in the same way by the brain I guess. I believe it’s all TMS so why wouldn’t it?
Yes, it absolutely works on any learned symptom. (TMS)
@@PainFreeYou thanks Dan
Lordy Dan . Uh I don’t want to do that lmao I’d rather go fishing 🎣
It's not mandatory. Just one of many ways to show the brain you are unafraid and not in danger. If you are uncomfortable with that, no worries.
Also are you still writing your book?
Been focused on the online course and group coaching launch. Need to get back to the book. It will happen. Don't have a date yet.
It really works! 😁
Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, it does work.
Hey Dan wanted to update....Been to my appointment for MRI scan, another wild goose chase of course but pain so bad I was going insane, anyway all clear and he mentioned degenerative and bulging discs but really nothing to worry about or fix. I did ask could these findings cause so much pain and in other patients he said possibly. I know it's tension but still I went for MRI. Equivalent to 15 months of Dan's weekly support I have spent. Madness of course. So I know it's TMS and knew before but chased the medical route and stressed my system the last 4 weeks. Even with reassurance I still have chronic anxiety and this makes me tense like a coil. Now what??? I stress about life's circumstances and this triggers fight flight anxiety and then the tension pain. How do I move forward Dan because this ain't leaving anytime soon.
That's great news. You now have medical assurance that your body is not the problem. Now you can choose to accept TMS fully. Watch this video on Health Anxiety. You may find it helpful. czcams.com/video/AiscNU-LfZo/video.html
And please stop telling yourself and others that this pain isn't leaving anytime soon. Your brain is always listening.
Sounds like playing a reverse game with the brain,hopefully it gets zapped.
another new thing learnt from u , but learning so much don't know when to try it. Like just learning but no time to do the homework given by u
Try not to view this as homework that you need to "do". Recovery is more about being, not doing.
@@PainFreeYou so true 👍
Is IBS a TMS symptom?
Sorry just read it is
To be clear - the digestive and immune systems are greatly suppressed when in the stress (fight or flight) response which can cause symptoms called IBS to occur. Do what you can not to stress about our stress caused symptoms. ;-)
