I stopped watching, stopped exercising, and chose distractions after I made so much progress. Slowly but surely, CRPS sensations returned and now I'm here again. It was this recap that I needed the most. Thanks Tanner.
Sorry to hear about your symptoms returning. I hope my content can help you get back on track!
Very helpful. Thank you
Thanks for the roundup. I hadn't really realized that I needed to be more consistent using these techniques. I had some progress a few months back and then I was inconsistent and the pain came back.
Consistency is key but hard to do (I know from experience!). Keep going!
Just subscribed. Your videos are super helpful.
Welcome! I'm so glad they are helpful!
Such an excellent video. I found this helpful in many ways. Will be sharing with my recovery group👌
I'm so happy it was helpful! Thanks for sharing!
I just found your channel and I am binging! Could I please request a video on GI symptoms? That's been the main thing I deal with and I've been doing brain retraining, somatic work, breathwork, etc for a few months now and while it helps the emotional side of things, I'm not seeing a change with physical symptoms. Would love to hear more on how you approach GI manifestations of this!
Sorry to hear about your symptoms. I hope my content can be useful. Yes I can try to do a video on this in the future!
Brilliant video thank you.
I'm so happy it was helpful! Keep going!
Such a great video thanks for putting out so many! I look forward to every one of your uploads.
It is wonderful you have found them helpful! Keep going!
Thank u tanner
You're welcome!
So very helpful thank you! Looking forward to checking out all the linked videos
I"m so happy it is useful!
Thanks Tanner! I'm a Chiropractor that had to retire early last August because of chronic LBP of all things. Recently determined my symptoms are now neuroplastic. I found this summary very helpful.
I'm so glad this was helpful. Sorry to hear about your pain. I hope my content can be useful for you!
Thank you for this excellent overview.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent summary of the main strategies! Thank Tanner
I"m so glad it was useful! Keep going!
Thank you for your excellent videos
You're welcome. I'm so glad they are helpful!
This was so helpful and easy to understand! Very generous of you! Thank you!
I'm so happy it was useful! I wish you the best in your healing!
Great vid thnku
So happy it was helpful!
Best video I have seen on healing. Thank you. 🙂
I'm so glad it was helpful!
2.5 years in....started with a burning tongue but moved to inner painful cheeks....what helps is feeling safe, at ease and resting. The solution, I feel, is to be happy and do less, not more. It's very hard to fatham out though
💚💚 keep going.
Thank you Tanner, I’m new to your channel. It’s strange I feel like I known you for years and you understand me. I feel safe and understood, your voice is so calming and soothing .
I'm so glad my content is helpful. I wish you the best in your healing!
Amazing overview of the healing journey - and with links to all the practical techniques. Incredibly helpful and definitely worth saving to favourites.
I'm so glad my content is helpful! Keep going!
Thank you for this information. What helps for me is hot water and in the summer I use hot and cold showers. I also use spiritual techniques such emagining that water heals me. I have been doing a lot of things even changed my diet to a more vegetarian one. Although I have gained more range of motion, I feel a great amount of pain when I do regular activities such as doing lundry, walk 3-4 blocks, even taking my dogs to the dog park across the street. I need to take at least 2-3 days to self regulate from the chronic pain. I refused to believe that I have chronic pain and I have done everything in my power to get better. I think I also need to come into terms with having chronic pain. I have been watching videos about chronic pain and bought books about chronic pain. And it helps me see that there are people that understand me.I have felt so frustrated with the doctors.
I'm so glad you are finding what's helping you! I wish you the best in your healing!
Great video and it is helping people with the deep experience that resonates too. Could you consider making a video where you could suggest which mind set practices and what to do when everything is still quite hard (you mentioned somatic tracking might be too much then), the hardest level? Then when someone's having the flare up they could just click that video, that would be addressing that level directly and speaking/guiding them thru it. Best wishes, blessings.
Great idea! I will try to create this in the near future!
That would be greatly appreciated!!! There are days that the pain feels unbearable and I would just like to listen to something that reminds me that there is hope...
Great reminders. It really helps to hear these these main points of the process. One thing you mentioned was really needed to process our emotions. As you rightly pointed out many of us are in the position we are in primarily because we didn't adequately process our emotions.
So I was hoping you might elaborate on how to properly process these emotions. Maybe give a few different methods and examples. I understand the importance of processing emotions but not very sure of the most effective ways to do this.
Thank you for these videos
Thanks for the video idea! I have an exact process I teach people. I will try to do this video in the next few weeks!
@@painpsychotherapy That would be great. Thanks again for your content
Yes please! Would love to hear more about emotional processing
This is a well rounded healing strategy, bravo. I'd only add brain retraining techniques which increase DOSE hormones. Doing those throughout the day really makes a difference.
What are DOSE hormones?. I have never heard of that.
@@carolebarton776 dopamine, oxytocin and so on, you can find more on Google
I'm so glad it was useful!
@@carolebarton776 dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins 😊

Thank you , Tanner. This is so helpful! Would you consider making another video about healing from conditioned responses. I have come so far with healing from chronic chest pain which developed after breast cancer treatment. But I still can hardly stand to wear a bra. The tightness around my ribcage sets off feelings of anxiety and so far I can’t figure out how to get used to it. I wear one every day all day long but I can’t seem to get comfortable with one on.
@carolebarton776 Have you tried wearing a soft bralette instead of a traditional bra? I gave up underwire ages ago and have been much more comfortable.
@@EAK1993 Yes. I wear very soft loose bras with at least one extender, sometimes two. But the sensation of the bra rubbing on my chest sets off lots of feelings like cramping which I am sure are caused by my scared brain. I just can’t seem to get past this. I try to use lots of messages of safety.
@@carolebarton776 This is my pain but hard to say if i have made progress, - all around ribs - neuralgia. i am glad to hear you have made progress as hard to find anybody with this.
Sorry to hear about your conditioned responses. I will do another video on this soon!
Thank you for the wonderful explanation and for the guidance. 😂
Of course. I wish you the best in your healing!
I loved my cold showers, but developed numb fingers from them, so had to quit. Found them so rejuvenating and uplifting, great depression-buster!
Sorry to hear about your bad reaction. Hopefully you can find some other regulation skills!
@@painpsychotherapyI find Wim Hof's breathing technique helpful for anxiety. Not quite as invigorating as the cold showers, but a good nervous system regulator! Peace!
Tanner, whats the pdp in the middle of the night waking me up? Symptoms are at night 95% time...??? Cptsd...
Sorry to hear what you are dealing with. This can often be a condtioned response. Check out my videos on this!
Can neuropathic cause extreme muscle tension?
Yes it is possible for intense muscle tension to be Neuroplastic.
Thanks for that. I’ve been dealing with such intense shoulder neck pain. It worried me because I’m a hairstylist for many years and i thought I was looking at the end of my career. It started with a weakness in my thumb about six months ago. Then slowly the intense muscle tension became unbearable. I’m so afraid to work. I’ve seen so many therapists and my doctor is sending me for an mri to rule out a pinched nerve.
But it’s all I can think about. Finally one of my Pilates therapists suggested this could be neuroplastic. I looked it up and discovered your channel. It makes sooo much sense.
@@mjoachim9554 So sorry to hear about your symptoms. I hope my content can be helpful for you!
What? No bloopers😂
Sorry! Not on this video! Next time
