Check out this awesome story as I talk to Albert about his journey through chronic pelvic pain and urinary frequency and urgency.

So helpful to have someone talk about an over active bladder!! I haven't heard much conversation about this. I have lower back pain and an overactive bladder and it's all the same thing showing up in different parts of the body. The adult diaper industry is making a ton of money because of this nervous system disorder. Fearful thinking is a huge trigger for the bladder!!
Fear / Perceived Danger is driving all TMS symptoms.
I’m glad you went to the clinic to close those soul ties. Now forgive the doctors who spoke those words to you. Be blessed Albert!
I had this exact same thing which came at me in 2021. Lasted for months. It was horrible. I had all kinds of tests done. All tests came back normal. It wasn’t until 2 yrs later I learned this was TMS! Now I know! I’ve had the symptoms come on twice since but I immediately tell my brain ‘hey I know this! It’s fine!’ Within a week, gone!
Also pelvic pain?
This was me! Suffered horrifically 10+ years, then fine for 8, then started again in lockdown. Since learning about TMS the game CHANGED! Little niggles now and then that go very quickly. Can sometimes switch off symptoms with my mind within minutes. So night and day compared to before! Loved your story!
Wonderful Jo Jo. Thrilled for your success. If you would ever like to share your story in an interview like Albert, you can get on my calendar at: TalkWithDan.com
How do you switch off symptoms with the mind within minutes?
@@PainFreeYou that sounds amazing! I’d love to have the opportunity to share my story. Stories such as this one were so helpful to me and it’d be great to pay it forward! 😊
@@DaniEla-of4eo it’s taken a lot of practice to get to this point but I will remind myself that what I’m experiencing is TMS and move on with my day and they will dissipate. I find I have to be completely indifferent to the symptoms for it to work. For example I’ll say “fine be there, in fact get worse if you want, I don’t care”. It loses its power. I wish I’d know about TMS in the beginning, its been life changing.
@@jojobean1372thank you for sharing this. God bless you
This was a good story. Every time I listen to these stories I get so angry because so many are needlessly suffering and go down the wormholes everyone does with doctors, specialists and many others that “think they know” what you are suffering from. I cannot even express the agony I went through with my symptoms. I just kept saying “I don’t understand how this happened to me when nothing happened to me”. Was always working out and healthy and then couldn’t walk, sit or stand and in misery all the time and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING helped ease the pain!! Keep on getting this message out, Dan!! I am free of pain now. Still working on some symptoms, but I’m living a full life now and working out now. You and others gave me my life back!!❤️
Fantastic M. Love to hear it. When you feel ready, I'd love to capture your success story too.
This interview has me thinking that my diagnosis of prostatitus a year or so before my hip and groin and leg symptoms developed was likely the beginning of TMS which developed at the same time as IBS-D. Wow, my GP in Georgia was kinda baffled back then that both came on simultaneously. (Prostatitus and IBS-D) I got the camera in the bladder - not fun and a Blood PSA test- all normal. Then after a year in 2016, they resolved and then my current symptoms severe hip groin, leg pain and outer ears that scab up and bleed without diagnosis, started soon thereafter.
It’s as though the brain said “well, if that didn’t take you out and cause you to eventually close your business and sell your house to eliminate your mortgage, then I’m bringing out the big guns”. Sure enough the prostatitus cleared up as well as IBS-D and the more severe symptoms ensued that I’m dealing with today still although I’m finally getting blips off symptom free days now after embracing TMS in dec of ‘20. This video has sure helps me to connect even more of “the dots” thanks guys!👍
Awesome - thanks for sharing your story Larry. A wild ride for sure.
Did you have erection problems or sexual dysfunction?
Albert, you are cracking me up! I know it's not funny what you went through, but I could totally appreciate it. You are right up and honest about how munch this sucks. So glad you are better!
Thanks Albert for sharing. Helpful for the guys out there bc im sure there r many hurting and not many would share their story like you did. And Dan is the best as always Much love
Thanks, Albert!
Thanks Albert! This gives me a ton of hope!
What a lovely chap.
So happy to hear you are doing well, Albert. What a journey you’ve been on 💐
Yes, Albert is awesome.
Love you Albert! You’re so down to earth! Thank you!! ❤
Omg! My story Thank you very much Albert
Glad you're healed Albert. Its a long journey, but healing is real.
I do think is also when the peripheral and/ or autonomic nervous system is healed, its all great again.
Thank you Dan.
In tears my whole story.... this is the final one to move me out of this ... 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏thanku...this is my break through now Saturday waa spent on morphine ambulance ride.. enough is enough.
Welcome. You are in the right place.
These stories give hope 🙏 Thanku so much x
You're so welcome!
i'm going through an extremely similar thing, and it always seems to get better when i stress less/focus on it less. great conversation, super helpful
I'm so glad!
Great story, lovely guy
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video. I'm just starting this process and Albert has really inspired me. Thank you both
Glad you enjoyed the video. The info below will get you started quickly.
Foundational Information: Understanding Pain
Watch the video at: PainFreeYou.com
Watch the video about Perceived Danger Pain: czcams.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/video.html - this explains SO much of what is going on.
Next Level: Determining if your pain is from TMS/PDP:
Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain. This also means you CAN end your symptoms.
Do the FIT assessment below. If you answer yes to even one of the criteria, it is very likely your brain creating the pain based on perceived danger.
FUNCTIONAL:
-Symptoms began without a physical precipitation
-Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo)
-Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric
-Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso
-Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body
-Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm
-Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time
-Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold
INCONSISTENT:
-Symptom shift from one location in the body to another
-Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night
-Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise
-Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about it
-Symptoms occur when stresses increased or one thinks about stressful situations
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement
TRIGGERED:
-symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptom, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather
-symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctors visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities
-symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing
-symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold

What DD u do?
@M. I haven't even had a flair up or a twinge of pain in over a year.
@M. It's TMS. All TMS.
@M. Everyone here is looking for a quick fix. Dan's provided more than enough information here to get better. Trust in the process.
Thank you for this. Really inspiring me to focus on my mental health more to overcome CPPS.
Glad you liked the success story.
So happy to have found this 10 years counting
Wonderful. Check out my getting started page: www.PainFreYou.com/start
amazing story, would have never believed Albert's journey unless hearing from him in person on youtube
Yes, amazing success.
Thank you Dan 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank YOU.
I am so glad you shared your story! I am going through the same thing righ now- 3 years in horrific 24/7 bladder painc diagnosed with embedded infection and was on long term antibiotics 2 years! Now I am sure its tms 🙏 I still don’t know how to get rid of fear and believe in healing. How much did it take you exactly for your symptoms to go away completely? Is there a chance to get in touch with you?
*Keep fighting!*
😎
I usually don’t comment. But thank you Dan for having Albert. Albert, you are incredible and did a great job explaining your symptoms. Until today I understand why I had a panic attack on the highway in January. I’m healing amazingly, but left PT and are praying with a journal and Father God Yahweh is answering my questions. Who am I mad at, what am I afraid of? Whom am I afraid of? The Boundaries Book by Henry Cloud has been very helpful. Speaking up and standing for myself has been a conflict since a child. I am learning to love as the Bible commands…communicate my boundaries with others respectfully and freely:)
What a beautiful and inspiring story..
I'm dealing with something similar and this gives me so much more hope then before.
How are you?
God this is EXACTLY what I have been going through. I have had an anxiety disorder for 2 years where I had gotten past so many symptoms that scared me. Once I conquered 1 symptom another would start. I have now been stuck with CPPS the past 8 months or so. It has scared me the most. The constant urge to pee and constipation from my pelvic muscles tensing. I went to doctors and specialists and they found nothing. All I got was a recommendation for physical therapy.
A great place to learn more and see options for recovery are all here:
www.PainFreeYou.com/start
How are you now?
This was the first symptom that made me aware of TMS. I was a little older so I definitely get it checked out and everything came back normal. Then I happened to discover the Mind Body Prescription. I started my TMS journey and then I discovered so many other symptoms that I had had previously. Thanks for the interview very important for guys to hear this
Awesome. Glad to hear you liked the interview.
This was also one of my first symptoms; I believe stomach issues were my first right before constant uti's that lead into all the other symptoms. At one point I could only sit on a toilet seat for some reason or laid down for relief but once I laid down the frequency would become worse.
Yep, sense of urgency and then can't go. Then when I do, it about a quarter cup. I've been wondering if this is part of my TMS. Thanks for this guys!
Yes, any type of sensation or symptom can be learned through fear and attention.
Have been experiencing similar stuff the past 7 months. Symptoms are improving but I have a lot more work to do. Love the video.
Awesome - Improvement is progress and proof you can get completely well. Keep at it.
@M. I experienced similar symptoms. I am 100% fine now so there’s hope :)
@M. I calmed down my nervous system through meditation & being intentional. It takes time. I also eat very healthy
Fantastic story thank you Albert and Dan. I love the success stories so much. I am curious about what may have brought on Albert's symptoms as he didn't share what may have brought on the stress. I guess sometimes it is stress and not from deep rooted horror stories. For me fear and anxiety keep mine going along with plenty of clenched muscles ready to fight the paper tiger. Sooooo much excruciating pain in my butt and back shoulders neck and has and sometimes my legs now. You could snap me in half as so rigid. When am I going go to let go and relax? Seems impossible for me as on red alert all day and in the night.
TMS brought them on. Knowing the back story doesn't matter. Have you considered my course and group coaching? PainFreeYou.com/join for details
Hi Dan thank you for hosting Albert's story on here and Albert for sharing. Its very similar to mine although nocturia for 9 years and cpps for 3. My brain is beginning to get on board as i stop creating a life of reacting to symptoms and perceived fear. Also i appreciate for pointing me to your PDP playlist. Its helped a lot. I am still wondering how it was for albert when the symtoms went away like gradual vs alotgether? Perhaps he said and i missed it but I'm going to continue accepting and letting go of fear things
May have things go away gradually, sometimes more suddently. Then they make come back, and then settle down again. It's an up and down journey. As long as we keep on responding to the symptoms with messages of safety, they will eventually settle and no longer come back.
This video explains what recovery looks like:
czcams.com/video/9SCOvSvzi1s/video.html
@@PainFreeYouI appreciate your reply so perhaps I could be becoming free of symptoms but they come back cause I react poorly to them when it's not a linear process. That makes sense. I'll check out the video and continue with this mindset going forward. You're doing incredible work Dan and I trust that I'm ready to share in the same success people keep having on your channel
Thank you Dan for this. I have this and much more going on physically and mentally. I get all you are saying here. Survival mode. Freeze mode in my case. In getting the fear down, as well as past trauma I have recent, 6 months ago. Can I get the fear down with it being so recent?
It's tough for me to say from that quick comment. I believe everyone can get better. How long it will take depends on the circumstances and the person. But it IS possible.
Love the interview! This helps me a lot, because I have virtually the same symptoms as Albert (I am a guy), although it started with back pain, then shifted to pelvic pain and urinary frequency, and skin problems as well. How much time passed between the time Albert discovered Sarno and he largely got better? Thanks.
I don't recall the timeframe. However I can say with certainty, everyone is different. Why? Our experiences that lead us to the pain and our ability to implement the TMS approach will all be different. I have seen people get much better in weeks and some take years and not make much progress. Why? Because some are not able to calm the fears and let the brain and nervous system calm down.
Try going through 4 cystoscopies for me! I just spoke to my doc, the 5th one in 6 years, and he said there was nothing I could do and I would have to live with the pain! I did not believe him. My pain comes almost always at 2:00 am and the biggest problem is not being able to sleep! Sleep deprivation is horrible and very destructive!
My fibromyalgia symtoms subsided by just watching Dan videos... 😊, now I understand the shifting pain... While my fibro burning and nerve pain subsided but suddenly facial pain, head feels tight.... Bearable pain... Shd I continue to ignore this new symtoms? Or rather how shd I deal with it
I would love to speak to you whats the best way to contact you?
I don't suggest anyone "ignore" symptoms. Being indifferent is not showing care. This video explains: czcams.com/video/r8uK7dsi9Wk/video.html
Thanks for a great vidoe!!! I also have cpps!!! 3 years now!!! Where should I start on your vidoes? In this video you mentioned is journaling how can I do this?

Sounds very similar to interstitial cystitis but IC can be confirmed by bladder scope.
yes, IC is a common diagnosis for people with pain and frequency issues. However, in many cases, it's all a perceived danger response and can be eliminated. czcams.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/video.html
Well…. Technically spasms in the pelvis is TMS and I guess it’s obvious that can also contribute to nerve pain AND oxygen deprivation and technically the doctors were sorta of close in telling you to relax …
All in all Dr Sarno is right
I’m gojnf through the same thing the nerve pain
Now my pain has gone back to this area from 3 months of breast ..! Grrrrr fixed one Spot back to bladder of years. ...

And not all fear is conscious. Safety is the solution.
Very interesting to make the connection with urinary retention (at my worst I counted over 20 trips to the rest room in one night after going to bed, causing a worsening in insomnia) and urgency; worse at night. As always; went to every doctor in the county, had every test and showed no reason for it. Many doctors did not even believe me after the tests showed up no retention until I had the test where they go in and it was like a popped ballon; the doctor was shocked. No medications worked. Because of my other symptoms which included a foot drop and nerve pain; I was being tested for MS; but a brain MRI and spinal tap ruled that out; I even had two muscle biopsies. They did do a cystoscopy and found some scar tissue due to many uti's and I had urethral stretching done twice (i am a female) which actually helped but did not elevate me of it but atleast I could now go to the grocery store and doctor's appointments in less agony. It was very painful. Oh and I was later diagnosed with cystitis due to the burning and perdental nerve entrapment (sorry I think I spelled that wrong). Sorry so graphic but I wanted to explain incase anyone else is going through it; yes you can go through all of that and it can certainly be TMS. I no longer have this issue unless I go through a flare up.
Perceived danger creates and perpetuates all of the symptoms you describe. Your success is proof. Wonderful.
@@PainFreeYou thank you; I am just starting out on my TMS journey. I did read Dr Sarno's book some years ago and although I did understand it, I did not have those ah ha moments until I recently returned to it and with the help of your channel I now have a different, deeper understanding that is reaching my subconscious; so I thank you very much. I have been going through this for 19 years (notice I did not say I have been sick for 19 years lol) and recently I have made huge improvements!
@@sunnyromano6862 Love to hear about the improvements. A good place to begin is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
What is Albert's TikTok?
I do Egoscue (exercises to improve posture) now to improve my posture, not to treat my pain… I would like to keep doing it because it makes my body feel good & I have always been an athlete… it is just part of my lifestyle… but, should I quit it temporarily, then when the pain is gone, I can do Egoscue again?
Because I enjoy exercise, especially Egoscue with how it makes my body feel functional.
Exercise is a wonderful thing. The intention and belief behind it is more important than what you are doing. If you believe posture is creating the pain, then that does not line up with TMS theory. If you are trying to fix your posture to fix your pain, the brain may keep the pain going. I cannot tell you what to do, but for me, I had to quit all physical treatments before I could get well. That included stretching, massage, physical therapy.
Can you tell me did you stop going to the toilet? This is my story. Or did you go every 5 min? This is my struggle. I know about the brain and everything but I don’t know what is have the do with that struggle. I don’t want to go every 5 min anymore. And don’t want to do the training 1 hour, 1 hour 30 min blabla. But my urge is realy strong. And there is nothing in. Sometimes I feel the fear, but not so hard anymore.
My cousins husband has a sore testicle & he's had numerous tests done on it, with the doctors finding nothing. He also recently came down with tinnitus (which I believe is a manifestation of TMS). Do you think the pain in his testicle could be TMS related?

What kind of journalinig ? About our day or venting about emotional trauma and life difficulties?
If Albert didn't mention it, then I'm not sure. I find that teaching our brain safety is the solution. Journaling is just a tool to get emotions out. Many get well without journaling at all. My approach is explained in my Fast Start playlist. DansFastStart.com
Are real UTIs with embedded bacteria TMS or not ? Can someone confirm ? IC can be nladder symptoms but not all IC is a UTI that can cause kidney infection et

Amazing story! What is his tiktok name?
Last two years I am suffering for frequent urination with persistent microscopic hematuria with high scale. I never feel any pain. I feel some discomfort in my penis and frequent urination for few hours then the symptoms gone and then return after 10 to 15 days later. This is my problem ct scan normal cytology once showed atypical cells and I have persistent microscopic hematuria. Doctor says I have CPPS on the basis of ct and cystoscopy. But I have doubt because pain never I feel and I have persistent hematuria what investigation to be done for future??? Hematuria can be a symptoms of CPPS.
I am not a doctor, so I cannot advise what medical investigations can or should be done. Take the pain test to see if your symptoms are behaving like TMS or a structural challenge. DanBuglio.com/paintest
Pain is not my issue I never feel pain i have persistent microscopic for two years hematuria and sometimes urinary frequency
I'm going through this , constant peeing always feel.i got to pee after I pee always feel full..pressure near pubic bone... idk what to do.. started after uti
Solution is all the same. Dial down the fear and teach the brain safety. Try to remain calm and not judge this as some horrible thing. Messages of safety whether you are peeing or not. With fear and attention, any sensation can become learned or persistent. If the UTI has been resolved, the solution is less fear, less attention. The concepts for your symptom are identical for those with other symptoms or even pain.
@Pain Free You i am peeing more than I'm drinking, hospital said I was dehydrated. I know i am again
@Pain Free You I have had loads of blood work an ultrasound waiting for ct scan and cystoscopy... I am a health anxiety sufferer. And I still have leukocytes and blood in urine but no growth .. I have the same symptoms as when I was treated for the uti...
@@PainFreeYou telling me it sounds like interstitial cystitis
@@melissabrill8367 Any symptom or sensation can be learned and continue persistently. Fear and attention are the fuel.
Oh yeah needing to pee all the time. Thank God that is good ver with. TMS.
This video is making me want to pee
Haha - nice.
Power of suggestion is powerful.
