Today: Do mind body symptoms act like this?
What if your symptoms act differently from what you've learned about TMS/mind-body/neuroplastic symptoms?

Currently in a flare ..hip pain, DPDR, anxiety, gut issues, sluggish gallbladder (so glad you said that specifically Lol) and more.... experiencing so much life stress lately. I was doing so well the three months prior to this flare. And then emotional stress from every direction.... needed to hear this today, thank you so much❤ anticipating symptoms is definitely something I need to work on.
Hi, Thanks for your note. Keep using all the skills you have and you'll get through the flare up. It sounds like your nervous system is really stressed if you're experiencing DPDR. Your brain is doing its best to try to protect you. Remind yourself that you have the skills and resources to work through this.
Yes, the sluggish gallbladder. A surgeon offered to remove my sluggish gallbladder and that struck me as so ridiculous, that it helped to propel me down the mind-body path.
@@drchristinebradstreet thank you. 💗 do you have any other videos on DPDR?
@@kayladewaard4019 I do not. But I'll add the topic to my list for future videos.

6:48 I think this is an example of reticulation system the brain has? Brain is always trying to make Sense of what is around us. Can't remember the vernacular for the system.
Hi, The reticular activating system (RAS) is more involved in filtering sensory input into the brain. Regarding chronic pain, it can be involved in filtering out nuisance stimulation, and it can also hone its focus and become hypervigilant for certain signals. This could make a minor pain be perceived as a big one. The RAS is what's involved in the phenomenon of seeing a large number of red cars after having a conversation with someone about a red car involved in a crime. There aren't actually more red cars on the road, you're just noticing them thanks to the filtering of the RAS. Likewise, talking or thinking about pain or symptoms can then cause the RAS to highlight the same symptoms in your body.
Love your videos and channel. Thank you
Hi, Thank you for your nice comment, and thanks for being here!
I think you are talking about me this morning. I was fine until I retired 2 years ago. Then my back began hurting and I started to get numbness in my feet when standing and now walking. I used to walk every day now it’s bothering me. I hate this because I was very athletic before now I feel depressed. Don’t know what happened and I can’t seem to find any answers. I don’t even know what kind of danger my mind would be concerned about.
Hi, You raise a good point. Sometimes we have no idea what could be triggering a danger signal in the brain. The good news is, you don't have to have that answer. The most important awareness is that the pain isn't happening to you. Instead, it's brought about by beliefs, thinking styles, and actions that wire it into your system. The danger signal to your brain might be something you perceive as frustration, anger, "hate this", sadness, impatience, etc. It could be other thoughts, beliefs, or emotions about retirement and what that signifies to you. But again, it's not really necessary to dig too deeply to try to find the "right" answer.
