What a great breakdown on how to accept your current sensations and assert positive change for the future. I feel a greater sense of clarity/safety already!
Yes these 2 parts of the puzzle have been key in bringing about greater clarity and safety for me too. I used to try and accept feelings and pains from a place of fear and weakness but with strong, direct messaging to the brain, it's now coming from strength..This acceptance is dissolving the anxiety and pain and a space is opening for a more loving/healing alignment.
Jim - Thanks so much for this clarifying video. I get it. I interpret this like “dynamic acceptance” where you accept what is happening this moment while at the same time you don’t be a victim and take the attitude of “passive acceptance” Appreciate the clarity 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks again, talking to that amygdala in a strong, direct way has finally brought some relief tonight to the cough, fever, heaviness, restlessness and general feeling like I was going mad.
Hey Jim, I just wanna say that this video has been key in feeling a greater sense of ease and clarity and has been a breakthrough in handling chronic anxiety and pain. Facing the chasm or abyss and also sending consistent strong messages to the amygdala that it's no longer in control is helping to feel less intimidated by it and I feel more resilient. The body is still waiting to catch up and with this greater mental clarity, it will have the necessary internal environment of safety to do so. Thanks for the breakthrough understanding at last!
Excellent! Makes so much sense. I’ve got to exercise control over my amygdala ! Take control and tell it to stop!! I don’t need any more of this BS ! I’m safe , screw you pal!
@@thepainpt Jim, Kudos to you. You are truly a humanitarian. I feel the same way about Dan Buglio. Must feel great to bring people out of the depths of dispair to real hope for a full recovery!
Reach out if would like more support or 1 on 1 coaching. It’s a silent strong knowing after awhile but at first it may you having to set the tone with conscious strong messaging from the cortex to the amygdala.
I love the way you explain exactly what is going on. It’s how I keep knowing I am healing. Would we apply the same rules to exhaustion (which is also created by the brain).
Hi Jim, This is a key topic. My question is how can we connect with our anger when we are kidnapped by fear so can move from a weak position towards one of strength and awareness? 🙏thank you!!
A lot of times fear/anxiety can cover anger so you have to let the fear go around being angry or being around anger. Express anger and also use it as a fuel for change. I’d rather you be angry with your pain then scared of it and even anger we need to move past eventually towards acceptance and peace
Hi, thank you so much for the video!❤ I get it but I also don’t, so please excuse yet another question … Could you elaborate how this looks on a timeline? In many brain retraining programs, we are taught to stop the thought immediately. The way you explain it it’s more like OK here it comes, The pain and all the symptoms, I’m accepting it and maybe sitting with it for 10 minutes or so? And then afterwords direct your attention to the brain or to the thoughts and then firmly set boundaries, not accepting it anymore …
Firstly i am so grateful for all the healing space you provide helping others. I am a bit confused in one of your vidoes you mentioned let all the thaught and feeling to be oj and accept them as it is ok we are not trying to fix or change anything but here you mention we should stop them so i am a bit confused thank ypu so much for help
Yes I get this question a lot. I think it depends on how you view it. What we’re trying to do is understand that this is TMS and nothing sinister so we don’t need to worry about these things that is the acceptance piece. That alone can be helpful for people. And the other side we know from the brain science that the prefrontal cortex is not communicating well with the amygdala and sometimes we need to directly tell the other part of the brain what we want this is like talking to your subconscious mind Dr. Sarno talks about. So they were both different pieces of the puzzle. You can play with them.
If you could clarify something for me, I would so appreciate it. What you’re saying here makes a lot of sense to me but I’m confused about how to use it in the case of fear. I’ve heard so much that fear fuels our pain and we should send messages of safety to our brain. So like recently I’ve had a pain in my foot start to come back that has been gone for several months. I had not been able to walk much for two years and it’s been so fabulous to be able to walk now, so having it start to come back I have to admit is a bit scary. I know 100% that is TMS, and I know that this is a common occurrence, but it is challenging not to be fearful that The pain will keep me from walking again. So I’ve been trying really hard to use outcome independence and lots of messages of safety. But your saying I should honesty name and acknowledge the fear? It’s seems like those things contradict each other, but maybe they don’t half to of done them right way? If you could help me understand I’d really appreciate it. And thank you so much for you videos, I’ve learned and been encouraged so much from them.
Hi Sue yes acknowledge any emotions you feel and feel them. Acknowledging them is called affect labeling and has been shown to reduce the emotional intensity. Also acknowledge any other emotions you might have a relation to this pain starting again. And then if it’s TMS do not give into the fear to overcome it you need to stay strong and stand up and face your fears to move forward. If we don’t then that’s called fear avoidance and will set you back
@@thepainpti feel chronically short of breath like im suffocating. I also breath paradoxically and can’t seem to breathe into my belly anymore. Do you have some advice or a video on that?
Jim i need your help. For years I have been into spirituality and philosophy. I have spent years overthinking and causing my brain to get so tired. This has produced physical symptoms like acid reflux and some other relatively mild ailments. Whenever i try to relax and embrace what is going on my brain goes nuts. It makes up enquiries about who I am about nature of reality. It makes these paradoxes up like yes you are are accepting these emotions and feeling them but therefore they are attracting like things in the material form. Please help me. Im so tired of this. Love from Bosnia ❤
Hi! First I would let your brain know all this is OK. Trying to hard can get in the way. If you can perceive waists happening as OK and it is, it will become ok. Don’t ‘try’ just accept it all the crazy mind and it’s mental thoughts and physical feelings. They will eventually go away
What I’m saying is yes accept the physical sensations, and yes talk to to your brain to downregulate the amygdala from your prefrontal cortex. This is a cognitive tool. The other piece is the emotions. I will go over that again in another another video. You do want to acknowledge (label) and feel your emotions not suppress them
What a great breakdown on how to accept your current sensations and assert positive change for the future. I feel a greater sense of clarity/safety already!
Same here . Bravo Jim P.!

There's no way to communicate to the limbic brain with words. Only actions.
Thank you Jim for these invaluable tools.

Thank you for this explanation! Very comprehendible.
Thanks for explaining this. Very helpful.
Beautiful explanation on accepting and surrender vs being strong. I needed to hear
Thank you for your work
Very helpful 👍
Yeah I would like to know more about going on the offense . How to really tell my brain effectively to chill

Should we actually verbalise these messages out loud or just communicate via thoughts. TY
