Mistakes that Keep Your Pain Persistent

- The goal of this video isn't to point out all the things you are doing wrong to make you feel worse about yourself. The goal is to highlight many of the mistakes that I made over and over and over which never helped me get any closer to recovery. By knowing about these pitfalls, you can make a shift and move towards recovery more easily.

The toxic support groups made me so much worse, I would be so upset after seeing what people were telling each other. “It never improves etc” that I left the group and no longer do any research on symptoms
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. A top face pain specialist told me that I will never get better . That got me annoyed & that’s when I decided to prove her wrong. I’m going to do everything in my power to find a cure & get better with Gods permission. I
I have two weeks until I see the facial pain dentist about mine and I’m scared that’s what they are going to tell me. I hope you overcome this !
Diagnosed with IBS c and sibo lol I had a major breakthrough the last 4 weeks. Everything was gone!!!!! All symptoms, constipation etc I eat what I want with no fear. 2 days ago I had ONE scary thought. BOOM back in my symptoms! Which is ok :) I love my body so much. Xo
Fascinating how that works. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’m Healing from colitis and gastritis. I worked myself up into a panic and noticed I flared up. As soon as I was back in a perceived safe environment I had less symptoms. The brain is amazing.
There is not much out there about IBS being a TMS. Most TMS info is around chronic back pain etc. Great to hear that you have seen results … bringing us hope
You are so right about not googling symptoms and not joining support groups! Made both these mistakes big time and just got more terrified and hopeless and confused. However I do find talking to someone I trust when I'm having a bad day really helps - otherwise I agree that talking endlessly about your symptoms is not helpful.
Dr Sarnos presentation is mind blowing!. I listen to the full 2 hrs 2 days ago and yesterday,
I did exactly what he explains to do whenever we start to feel symptoms , and unbelievably my symptoms went away within an hour (left neck, shoulder and shoulder blade pain that have come and went for about 15 yrs) then pain in my right wrist for an hour appeared later in the day(the first time I ever had that) then the sore throat that I get almost every day or evening whenever I'm tired.
I ignored them all and kept going about whatever I was doing and forced a smile on my face and spoke out loud, and told my brain that I am safe and not in any danger and reassured myself that I am a healthy strong person.
It's crazy! Wish I had learned about Dr. Sarno and Dan's group years ago.
After 2 years and playing whack a mole with pelvic floor dysfunction and all the symptoms i have had from/constipation/urinary problems/sex problems/digestion problems/heart burn/ soreness/ fatigue etc etc. it all started when i lost my job. Then my mom got pancreatic cancer. This is a year after I lost my dad to lou gehrigs. The I got testicular cancer all at the same time. Since then i have tried everything. I think these events triggered all of this. Crazy stuff. Thank you
You've been through a lot and your suspicions about emotions causing a shock in the body is very similar to Germanic new medicine. It goes on to say that once the conflict shock is resolved, the body does it's job to rid the shock, e.g. fever, skin eruptions, bodily fluids, even tumors. I think TMS aligns very well with GNM.😊
i confess that when i get up off the couch, or stand in the kitchen, i 'check' the level of pain, tho i must say it's getting better.... and even though 'checking' to see how bad the pain is usually CAUSES the pain, i then respond with as much indifference as i can, and it seems to be helping over all.... and hopefully soon i will just forget to check xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
That's proof that it's TMS. Great news.
I feel like you know me. You know all of us because we’ve all been in the same boat. Thanks for continuing to share the one consistent thing that will help us get better. We’re okay, we’re safe, we’re not broken. This is MBS. Thank you, Dan, for the gift of you!
My pleasure! Thanks Christine.
I enjoy listening to your daily talks- they make me feel positive every morning and set the day up well. But, is listening to daily talk reminding me that I am trying to heal myself? Thanks Rebekah (UK)
I'm happy when three doctors said they could not find anything but I still went on for the next eight years with thirst chronic fatigue & digestive problems. - and I don't know there is a thing called TMS neither does my doctor - now I do.
I had come to essentially the same insights through years of trial and error. Thank you for the validation, affirmation.🙏
Awesome.
Thanks for repeating these AND for talking with us every day! Always feel as though you are talking to me... today’s topic was a good reminder to help me focus on avoiding these mistakes. I so value your input. Glad you are feeling better. Have a great day!
You are so welcome!
I'm making almost all of these mistakes these days. especially since I've been trying to get rid of the pain in my head. And that only made the pain worse. Glad I saw the video
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dan... you can't imagine how much means your help ,every video is on point! It is interesting that at the time of listening you my simptoms almost disapears, your words calming my mind and thanks to them I feel more safe and they are giving me a courage to keep up and everything will be ok!
I do not write comments but here I really feel that I have to express my appreciation to you.
Wonderful. If your symptoms can settle like that just by listening to a video, that's proof that your brain is creating the pain and keeping it going. It takes some practice, but you can do it and your experience is great evidence that your body is not the issue. Watch my fast start playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Thank you so much!
This video must be listened to multiple times!! Excellent, Dan!!
Thank you!
I totally understand all the mistakes you talked about but I don’t do doctors your absolutely correct on that one, so the more I understand it the more the anxiety and symptoms tighten and there moving from one part of my body to the other and round in circles it go,s and new symptoms are appearing Help🤦♀️
Don't become afraid of TMS. The concept is to lower the fear, not fear fear.
My fast start playlist is a great way to get a deep understanding of how this all works and what to do about it. czcams.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
You’re amazing!! you’re helping so many people, please keep doing what you’re doing, you have greatly helped me, and I already feel the reduction in my pain by taking your advice 😊❤
You’re dead on again Dan. Great reminders. There’s a good old saying “Repetition for Emphasis” . May have read it or heard from you before but with TMS recovery this needs to be instilled repeatedly to recover.
Repetition is key for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Wow, I am doing 11/11 of these! I can now start working on these. Thank you Dan for everything you do!
Omg I’ve had off and on lower back problems over 15 years .. and I’ve gotten over them every time but omg this time I’m totally stressed out about it and it’s been over 3 weeks of lower back pain. When I walk I feel crooked and my back gets so tight and it’s been so hard to stop being fearful and thinking of the pain 😫😭God help everyone with any pain out there 🙏
Crystal - are you aware of TMS? Have you heard me speak about perceived danger as the cause of pain? Learn more here:
www.PainFreeYou.com/start
There are both free and paid ways to move forward with recovery. I post daily videos on this topic here on CZcams. DansCZcams.com - start watching. It will help.
@@PainFreeYou hello, yes I heard of Dr Sarno many years ago and it helped me but not for long sooner or later my lower back problem would be replaced by very bad digestive issues and migraines and the list goes on. Thanks for the suggestions tho it’s just very hard for me to get out of the fear state
@@rrosie1968 The fact that a TMS approach hasn't helped YET doesn't mean it won't. It took me 13 years to get it dialed in properly. My daily videos map out the concepts and beliefs. Yes, fear is challenging, but it is also fear that keeps symptoms alive. Please go through the resources at the link below. You CAN get well. Hit the reset button. This is absolutely the right path.
www.PainFreeYou.com/start
And here is my take on Digestive Issues.
czcams.com/video/6za2iTB8Dcs/video.html
Basically, stress (fear) suppresses both the digestive and immune systems. Stressing out about a stress caused issue is like pouring gasoline on the fire and wondering why it won't go out. Calm is the way forward so your system can return to optimal balance.
read Anthony Williams books i believe fear is a big factor in pain but healing tools are important too. there are real viruses and pathogens out there causing lots of illness
Very true Dan it’s constant pressure to loose the pain
You tube just presented me this 💎 !
I even took notes 📝 while listening !
From the 11, there is only 2 I still make: fear and calendar 📅 watching.
Fear is the stubborn one, calendar will be easy. Nice to know that I overcame already 9 other mistakes ! Woohoo, congrats to myself !😃
And to you for listen them up of course !👍🙏🌺
Wonderful! 2 out of 11 is great.
Yes…. I made all of them…. Every one of them… this list is complete … nothing to add here🌟🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋except Thank You
Thanks for this video Dan I’m going to watch it often - fantastic reminder about mistakes. Managed to get my head around the productive one a few weeks ago and decided not to waste my life resting waiting for the pain to ease just like you said. Decided to do things with the pain and it is behaving strangely like it’s confused lol. It’s made such a difference mentally being productive even ordered myself new clothes and makeup which I haven’t done in 10 years !! Now got to get the courage to go out and show them off lol ! You are my daily dose of positivity bless you xxxx
Daily dose of Dan! haha
Thank you. Similarly to you, I have had symptoms for 13+ years and many of the thoughts align with the mistakes you mentioned. I have been following you for 2-3 months, it’s been challenging, and I know that things will get better.
Absolutely, yes, they will get better. If you'd like some help, consider my group coaching:

I follow you for a long time now and this one i find you re best.
Thanks for veing there every day 💐
I literally dedicated the last 7 years to healing. God I WISH SO BAD I knew then what I do now. Thanks Dan :)
No looking backwards. Focus on now. You are in the right place. :-)
So best way is to just carry on as usual right?
Omg you are so right !
Another great video Dan I am not broken even though I feel I am x
You are A ROCK STAR!
Amazing Video
I will have to keep this video to reinforce the message
Thank you Celia.
Thank you so much, Dan. A friend recommended me to your channel and I've already had so many epiphanies about my chronic pain. I was considering seeking a geneticist to get formally diagnosed with EDS (ehlers danlos syndrome) and this video helped me decide against that, as yet another uncurable medical label will just be viewed as another physical limitation in my mind. I'm also thinking of not seeing my chiropractor every two weeks, and will decrease to once per month or so. One thing I have a hard time with is shortness of breath that comes from anxiety/fixating on the breath. At the beginning of your video when you ask everyone to take a few deep breaths, that instantly triggered shortness of breath because my brain believed I wasn't breathing " well enough." I think doing a video on this topic could be really helpful for folks like myself that struggle with anxiety/OCD! Much love!
Here is some foundational videos that will help with the basic concepts.
Perceived Danger Pain - the cause of our pain:
czcams.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/video.html
If that is true (it is), then teaching the brain you are safe is the solution.
czcams.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/video.html
As for anxiety - when you teach the brain you are safe, the anxiety will resolve too.
You blankin’ ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thanks!
You are blankin' welcome. :-)
GREAT VIDEO! I was a master at doing all the wrong things.
An eye opener! I agree...must be watched over more than once...thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dan, you're sling'n PEARLS this morning! You're in the "zone", brother... Have a great week. ☕️👊🏼💯
Thanks! You too!
BIG THANKS Dan ! I think your content is some of if not the best available online. Cant wait for your book. hello from BC, Canada.
Awesome, thank you!
Spot on🙏
I simply loved this. Thanks for being you and caring. Your special, seriously

Fear is my mistake not all the time but when i have flare up but working on them ❤❤❤❤❤
I use the term CFS because they keep testing me for diabetes & I don't have diabetes & so they send me home saying you are fine healthier than most 20 year olds but yet I still have excessive thirst chronic fatigue &:digestive problems.
These are symptoms of a brain perceiving danger.

Thanks for another great video. Wondering if you’ve ever heard of dry eyes or eye pain being a form of tms? By the way I’ve healed pelvic pain, ic, TMJ and GERD through tms work!
I would be interested to know about eye pain...dry eyes...thank you for bringing it up!
Yes, I have heard of that and heard some success stories. When in the stress response (fight or flight) our digestive and immune systems are suppressed. Doing what you can to calm the system down and get out of the stress response will allow the body to return to balance. A TMS approach can help you do just that.
I can't remember what episode it was but on Nichole Sachs podcast, she mentioned a lady who had problems with her eyes watering loads and her eyes would crust shut overnight. It went away when she did the mind body work. The brain is the control centre of the entire body, so I wouldn't be surprised by pretty much any symptom being TMS (just always rule out more serious things first).
Yup! 100% in my own opinion. Have dealt w/ dry eyes + eye pain (symptom imperative) at different points in 6 years of TMS symptoms (paradigm).
Hi Ash! I know it’s an old post but I struggle with pelvic pain as well and just wanted to ask if it is truly possible to heal it through this approach? I am really struggling to believe that pelvic pain can be TMS despite having normal test results and no infections found.
Amen.
Love the glasses!
Thanks for this video
you mentioned with Pudendal Neuralgia which is what I got labeled with
Scary
It's a label. You have TMS/Perceived Danger Pain in the pelvic region. Drop the medical diagnosis. Many with that diagnosis get well with this work. Check out the success stories: czcams.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIFQdggCj5blCYWTENhppHs.html
@@PainFreeYou thank you
I do every single 1 of these!!!!!!
Well cut it out! ;-) LOL
Great points thank you!
Than you Dan🇱🇺💪🏆🌹👍
Yes-I avoided all support groups for exactly the reason you illuminate. I did not want to be falsely identified by other people’s ignorance.
Thank you so much I can't tell you how much you are helping me
You are so welcome. Thrilled to be of service.
Very clear and useful video Dan! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow the aging statement really hit home for me…
Thanks for covering all these Dan. :)
My pleasure!
This is brilliant. Batter. In side the house and no. Plastic chair great thanks now I can listen to you thanks 🇬🇧❤️👍🙋♂️
Thank you Dan. Daily reminders of mistakes not to make. Very helpfull.
Glad it was helpful!
@@PainFreeYou Not making TMS my daily mission is difficult for me. After 25 years of pain I’m on the right track en now I want to run like a greyhound 😉
Thanks for doing these everyday. I make most all these mistakes still and am healed 80%. Probably why im not healed.
Is there a way to donate? I want to support the channel.
Hey Joseph. Currently I don't have a donation process set up. But in the next month I'll be launching a group coaching membership area and later in the year a book. You will see the announcement and if you'd like some additional help, those opportunities will definitely support the channel. Thank you!
I can understand you . Iv suffered from anxiety for most of my adult life. Im in the process of changing from setraline to citalopram. Im two weeks in . I do deep breathing . I always feel a bit better by the end of the day . Just wish we could feel ok all day . Can you help me please. I believe in you. Thank you. X
Yes, I can help you. Watch my daily videos. Implement the concepts. My approach works on anxiety as well as chronic symptoms.

Great reminders! I like the shirt btw!
Thank you!!
I remind myself...Lorimer Moseley says "No brain, no pain."🤣 yes....ALL pain comes from the brain's assessment of danger and the level of protection needed to keep me safe. No one's pain comes from their knee or elbow. That is nociception ...the brain determines the level of pain. TMS just means my pain threshold has gone down and my nervous system is more sensitized. I'm really ok.
Thank you for sharing Lorimers truth. He's a very wise man.
The research he presents, in such an entertaining way, is so compelling. I really hope the medical industrial complex gets an update soon and stops using the Cartesian model to try to address persistent pain. Modern medicine is astonishing for treating disease, traumatic injury, fractures, cancers....but persistent pain has not been an area they have mastered....witness the opiode epidemic and the excess of unnecessary surgeries and interventions.
Linda, I’m a med student and after I’m in a stable place with my TMS journey... it’s going to be my mission to get this stuff more certifiably known! I have contacts in med school and I’m going to get that ball rolling... if there’s any messages you want me to put out there or involvement you want to have... please let me know!
@@april1362 April, thank you! Dr Howard Schubiner in Michigan is on a mission to move the medical profession toward this way of understanding the interplay of the nervous system and the way pain functions as protection. I'd love to be an advocate for this as someone who sees it play out in my body. You will be a powerful force!
@@lindaelarde2692 ahhh I think it’s more in play in the US than UK! That’s beautiful!
Hi Dan, fantastic video, I have burning mouth syndrome and I'm totally at the end of my rope 😥 Im just so lost and don't know if i can continue much longer.
You can do it! Learn what is going on. Nothing more than the brain perceiving danger. czcams.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/video.html
That means if the brain is incorrectly perceiving danger, you can TEACH it to turn off the pain with better data.
Watch tomorrows video.
I did every single one. I am going to change this.
Can this be applied to MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity?)
People stop me on the street all the time if I am okay because they see me struggling. They offer to get me water, and if they can do anything. I smile and say no I just need to stop here & rest a minute. They ask are u sure? I'm like yeah no problem really but thank u.
You have a wonderful energy. Thank you for what you do and having the strength and fortitude to come through what you have. If I want to binge watch your videos and start from the top in order to heal myself, where do you suggest I do that? Thank you!!

@@PainFreeYou that’s a relief 😅 Thank you so much.
Always making these mistakes...😢
Awareness and a decision to make changes. That's the way forward.
Old schoolies would simply say, try not to think or worry about it.
Great advice. Are you implementing that strategy? ;-)
@@PainFreeYou trying to keep busy and focus away .some yoga. Lala distractions really.
i try not to think about my hand pain and remind myself that its caused by emotions but sometimes it's just too damn bad and hard to ignore
Ignoring pain is impossible. But you can respond calmly.
Have this on my fridge!
I def have tms/. Most times I wake up with head symptoms early am and have been getting up having a cup of coffee and listening to you for 30 - 60 minutes. And I usually feel better after this ! Amazing- but I am getting up early and feel tired during the day and def early at night.
Any thoughts as to how to tell the brain this isn’t necessary ..
and to sleep later and still wake up with out symptoms? I am doing well but this is my current situation.
Thank you for all you do for us as a community
Been making a lot of these mistakes.
Curious your thoughts on endometriosis … TMS can present with a lot of public pain, which is my experience, but I can’t figure out if it’s endometriosis unless there’s a surgery involved. I don’t want to go down that path.
I have a question. Is it possible with this to get chronic inflammation and muscle spasms in the area of an old injury due to signals ? Is that the brain still believing you are injured and trying to heal it or is it because you are in fact not healed or nerve damage? How do you know the difference ?
Yes, the brain can create pain, spasms and inflammation if it perceives injury. Lorimer Mosley - a pain scientist from Australia noted that people can experience pain and inflammation by just imagining movement.
Guilty of all the above and am trying to make the necessary changes. And trying to be patient! I seem to really be stuck with how to deal with real medical issues that don’t necessarily cause pain. They do however cause fear and anxiety. Would that get in the way of the “brain pain” recovery?
I believe the approach I teach will help all around whether you have real medical issues or not.
This video addresses that: czcams.com/video/4iLQenfbJpw/video.html
And my playlist is a great place to get a deep understanding of what is going on and what to do about it. czcams.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
👍🏻🌺👍🏻🌺. No surgery for the gray . Whats the saying about gray hair? Wisdom in those silver hairs 😇
What does TMS stand for?
Where I live, there is no TMS knowledge. I have neck-shoulder pain, dizziness, headaches (and a lot of anxiety+symptoms). I have osteoarthritis, disk problems. So doctors here just tell me: Do some streching, physical therapy... Some of the medical personnel in physical therapy throws the labels: it is not curable, it will get worse and worse... And then I struggle believing 100% Your test indicates TMS, I am that type of personality, but I cannot find the medical doctor to give me the clear diagnosis... What am I to do?
Make a self diagnosis. You don't need a medical doctor to tell you that it's TMS. Pain from TMS behaves a certain way. The pain test indicates your symptoms behave like TMS and not from a disease or structural problems. You have TMS. Begin the process of teaching your brain that your body is okay.

Dan thanks for your information .
What the root cause of all pain ?
Can it be emotion?
Pain free could mean know how to feel and release your emotion.
There is no root cause of ALL pain. However, the video at this page will explain the root cause of MUCH pain. PainFreeYou.com
You are so good, pls, can put subtitles in Spanish, so, it will be easier to understand each word.'? Thank you !!!
CZcams offers automatic captions in the language of your choice. This video explains how to set it up for your language: czcams.com/video/U-RrHRdcUi4/video.html
So my question is, if focusing on it makes it worse or makes it stay, how do you factor in watching your videos, reading Sarnos books or especially doing your classes? Isn’t that the same thing?
No. You are focusing on the solution and changing your relationship with the pain. Thinking about the pain in frustration is much different than learning that the pain is not significant and learn a process to teach the brain you are safe.
"The sage is not sick because he is sick of sickness, therefore he is not sick"
What is tms mean
What surgery???
Whew wow TMS. No wonder why doctors , osteophathic doctors physical therapist, acupuncture, injections , a chiropractor i have now been seeing for 13 months could not help. i am going on 5 years. i was diagnosed with spondylolsysthesis narrowing of my spine disc buldging. They wanted to do a fusion. i walked away and refused. My pain is on the back left of my thigh. i cannot bend or go up the stairs.

when y play online with my brother i can spend hours siting and most of the time i do not have pain, but if my mother (she has TMS but dont accept it) its yeling or something usually some symptomps flares up
That's great news. Proof it's TMS and can be eliminated.
Hey Dan,
thank you for the work you do and the help you offer. I really appreciate that. 🙏
Regarding the 11 mistakes some of them seem familiar for me in recovering from CFS aka mindbody-syndrome.😅
After this video I ask myself what your take would be on the practice of "somatic tracking" as part of pain reprocessing therapy? (as suggested f.ex. by H. Schubiner, A. Gordon, Reb. Tolin). Even if it's about changing the relationship to the sensation to a more neutral observing and curious one, isn't it at the same time pure focus? Or is neutral awareness not feeding the sensations?
kind regards from Germany.
Some Co workers &. Bosses have tried to hurt me, most jobs I had throughout 45 years in the workplace were abusive, and I was physically threatened, the subway has become extremely dangerous in NYC since the lockdown, family members are physically & emotionally abusive, some doctors have falsely diagnosed me at times throughout my life to collect the insurance money even when I did not have CFS. Medical personnel in some medical institutions have tried to hurt me for not getting the harm ticket. So my fears are based on actual terrifying events involving people that I need to trust but can't - so are all my fears unfounded or is the breakdown in society real?
If u are a young women & the gyno keeps calling u into his office just for him to look down there for his own pleasure or another doctor gives a false diagnosis of breast cancer just for insurance money & his sadistic pleasure off cutting your breast off how can u not live in fear? When u cannot speak fluidly & spontaneously due to all this political correctness how can u perform stand up comedy if physical hostility ensues over the most innocent minor statement taken out of context - if u don't know which specialist the doctor sends u to for preliminary yearly test how that specialist will react if u did or did not get the arm ticket how are u supposed to feel safe. If the administration demands that teachers encourage gender fluidity to children and keep such practices from the child's parents or the teacher or social worker will get fired - how can u live without fear etc. Etc
There are absolutely real challenges with society with some legit dangers. My focus with these videos is on the aspects of our lives we can control. Our emotional, physical and mental safety. Those are within our ability to impact and thereby create a much better life for ourselves.
Can TMS cause eczema? I noticed that right after my stomach issues went away after incorporating yours and Dr. Sarno’s information, I started getting eczema
TMS / Too Much Stress can definitely suppress the immune system which can allow skin issues to occur. So yes.
I do all these mistakes - if I’m mostly in bed or the couch except for swimming, how can I follow through on my new morning phase - how am I going to have fun today?
See how many of these you can do. If they are fun, even better. czcams.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/video.html
hey dan, do you think focusing on TMS work (like by watching your videos, journaling, meditating, reading tms books and podcasts, etc. ) counts as “trying to heal” too much? is there a daily limit you’d suggest to educating yourself on the mind body syndrome and consciously working towards ending TMS? is actively trying to treat TMS just as bad as obsessing over how to heal from a structural cause?
It's a great question and a good idea for a video topic. Let me ponder on it a bit. I'll likely do a "Can you do too much TMS work?" video. Look for it tomorrow.
@@PainFreeYou that’d be awesome thank you, looking forward to hearing your thoughts
Wow 13 years! Could that just be natural progression of your body’s healing mechanisms then? “Time heals all wounds”?
No - it was TMS all the while. There was never anything to heal as there was no true injury.

is it k to take pain relief like tylenol if the pain is really flaring up or is this telling the brain to be concerned.
View it as a measure of self kindness instead of a cure. There is no reason to torture ourselves to get well. Clarity on the cause of the pain is key. A little pain med is fine.
@@PainFreeYou thank you, been watching your videos for some time now, has been helping me, the one major take away is the fear part, i know fear is the basis of all my anxiety and symptoms, i am making my goal 1. i dont want to be afraid any more its hard especially in flare ups - n it seems the more i take this stance the symptoms flare up like my monkey brain wants to stay in control - stay in charge of everthing n keep me in a small room away from every thing, also 2. do my best to go on with my day, my life the best i can.
for years been doing things in hopes it would fix me, to be honest seems only gotten worse, so doing my best now to not just accept but really surrender.
thank you again for all your videos sir.
@@jerrylee8540 My pleasure Jerry.
Curious about something...btw. great video Dan! You think those diagnoses/medical labels for tms symptoms exist or is it all tms?
I won't say there is never a case where the body is the problem. That certainly can happen. However, if pain behaves a certain way, that really rules out the physical cause and rules IN TMS.
Thanks Dan! It's just that some medical conditions do have similar symptoms and pain characteristics as tms so I supposed it could all be tms just covered up in the medical labels...
Dan this is such a wonderful video! I have done almost all these things. The groups for pudendal neuralgia were so scary I left immediately. You are spot on with all these. I spent hours doing Dr Google lol my Dr gave me the diagnosis based on a touch test with a feather lol no imaging because of course there’s nothing to see he gave the diagnosis said to sit on special cushion but then also said I could go out and run and to keep moving live life So he was very conflicting.
I recently starting not believeing him and actually decided to stop seeing all DRS except my family GP. Thank you for this video !!
Hey Jen. A great place to get clarity on what is going on is my getting started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Yes I did and I joined your groups ! Clarity has come into view for sure. You have been more helpful than any of the doctors. Thank you so much
@@jene5420 Thrilled to help you with your recovery. 🙂
@@PainFreeYou you have been a huge help. Your advice it spot on for me
Doing my best to recognise these mistakes and eliminating them. But I have a question. Doing things and trying to live, my mind do goes to the sensations even when I do not feel it. Like I am trying to be careful. Will it keep the sensations going?
We may think about or notice sensations....but how we think and notice matters. Reassure yourself that even if you feel the sensations, it's no big deal since you know it's TMS and that means your body is already okay.
There is sth i m curious about.you say that fear n attention are the fuel for pain.but whats the root cause of the pain.is it repressed emotions? So if let my repressed emotion out,will my pain fade away?
Repressed emotions fit into my understanding of perceived danger. Repressed emotions that are getting close to consciousness are perceived as dangerous so the brain fears them and creates the pain to distract you from the emotions. "So if let my repressed emotion out,will my pain fade away?" - that is the theory, but I think there's a bit more to it than JUST emotions.
Why would the brain create symptoms at perceived danger?
Symptoms are the warning signal. How else would the subconscious brain warn us besides symptoms?
Here are 11 examples of perceived dangers:

Hi Dan, just wondering if something like a diagnosis of t2 diabetes (which so far hasn't affected me to my knowledge) can be TMS related?
That is most often a diet/lifestyle thing. Can stress and fear have some part in it? Yes, but diet and lifestyle would be the primary means of turning t2 around.
@PainFreeYou thank you - I am very well aware of the role of diet and lifestyle and do my best to live accordingly, just wanted your take on whether you felt there was a link and whether it could be TMS.
@@marionmoody8071I haven't seen a proven link, but if stress suppresses digestion it is entirely possible. There is zero downside to a mindbody approach of teaching the brain we are safe and getting out of fight or flight more often.

Are there guidelines where you can find out whether the pain is structural or neuroplastic? I was diagnosed with levator ani syndrome and oddly enough I was very relieved at first. But since I’ve been trying to treat it as TMS, I question it sometimes. My pain is always in the same place. But during most of the month it isn’t really a big deal at all and I can ignore it and it doesn’t cause fear at all. However right around the time I ovulate, it flares up. Although one month it was nonexistent and there are times when it’s very mild and sometimes it’s really bad. And those are the times I do have fear and I have trouble with it. I don’t talk about it at all. I handle it perfectly fine until I ovulate and the big pain comes on. What am I able to do then? Thanks!
Sounds like the level of pain is based on the fear and attention given to it. Sounds like TMS to me. There are assessments here: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
The best thing you can do is know that less fear, less freakout will mean less pain. You've proven that already. You already have an effective strategy. Do that consistently. Don't expect the pain. You can and will get well.

Hi Dan :) if you knew that you had TMS early on your pain journey (I think I have heard you say that) and you knew about Sarno's work, why did it take you years to get better? In this video at the end you said that you got better when you stopped making pain your priority..... Was that the main mistake you were making?
I was making ALL of these mistakes. I'm sharing these concepts so it doesn't have to take YOU 13 years worth of pain to get well. I'm giving you the cheat sheet.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you Dan!!
👏 👏
Thanks for your videos Dan. I have taken your pain test and I'm still not sure if my pain is TMS. I have had chronic back pain for the past 20 years, I am 68. Injections, PT have not helped. I have very little or no pain when sitting or lying down. My pain comes after standing or walking more than just a few minutes. It is relieved again by sitting. Is this TMS pain? If so why does sitting relieve it?
In my view - perceived danger pain explains it. Have you seen this video?

MOST chronic pain has become learned by the brain and is not of structural nature.
The FIT assessment on my getting started page may help you gain more clarity.
