I am Daniel a health coach specialized in releasing chronic symptoms from the body via Release methods. Think about fatigue, POTS, crash and pain in conditions such as ME/CFS, Chronic Lyme, Fybromyalgia, Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue and more.
What I've always asked myself: why is it, that for some people emotions/stressors finally rise to the surface giving you symptoms and giving the opportunity to heal them, while other people go ALL their lifes till dying without having faced them. I know so many old people that are clearly coping 24/7 and they have no problems with that (they may have some related issues like back pain or joint pain, but rarely symptoms like we do). Sure, they are stressed and not properly enjoying life, but their brain never created symptoms to protect them, because the emotions simply never moved to the surface making the limbic brain freak out. But why does that differ from person to person?
Let them do a Vipassana meditation week and wait for what happens. But would you really like for them to get symptoms? My grandfather died one week after his retirement from a heart attack. Not everyone can make it in this phase and that's okay as well. Otherwise society would breakdown, we can be critical to society, but we don't want everyone to collapse.
My dad has had migraines all his life, also mindbody. I see the emotional brain as a big pressure barrel, in a huge cfs crash the barrel basically explodes. Brain retraining would build up the barrel slowly.. but every trigger breaks it down again. Releasing emotions will let go of all the pressure and in the end you don’t even need a barrel anymore. A lot of people have a barrel showing cracks, but it never breaks. They don’t feel good, or happy, or energized but they don’t know different. I know so many people who say their energy got shit after 30… I mean..
@@releasecfs I didn't mean that in a critical way at all... I am happy for those who manage to release without symptoms, or even for those who don't ever release at all, and go on their way. I just wonder how their bodies can accumulate all that stress without ever breaking down. It's quite impressive.
i'm really getting it!!!! If we really getit we could not lose nor forget it!!!! Jesus said Your wholeness has healed you................. i say your Being encompassed the human Being is the horse...............human the cart..................He also said "Go & tell no one" Let go of the story let go of the split time idea Mikayla
I have come to realize that every aspect of my life needs healing. It starts by getting to know, like, and believe in the real me and letting others see that person. I grew up learning it was safest to be invisible. Nothing whole about that.
True chronic fatigue is not emotional or psychological. We need to quit mixing apples with oranges. Mine came from my gut being destroyed, bombarded with infested food for 6 weeks during a work visit in Mexico. Whatever was in the food water there broke down my gut barrier and defense mechanisms and then had an open path to penetrate into my blood and nervous system. My kidneys were affected, my liver, my pancreas, my nerves.., For people like me whose bodies had to fight extreme attacks from pathogens, it is very bad to see people speak as if this was some mind controlled issue. For the real cfs patients, the physical cfs patients, it is a slap in the face. Our lives are hard enough as they are, with this crap disease, in my case thanks to some aholes poisoning me with infested food and destroying my gut.
Yes the detox is very important. Even if it feels really uncomfortable. But I realize that I'm doing much better with boredom. But it takes a lot of practice. Thanks for the reminder Daniel. We are so trained to always do and not being. It's an addiction indeed.
Most people in the CFS space on RU-vid and social media are grifters. Raylene is a good example as most the guests just promote coaching or expensive programs without really giving any useful info on healing; just a dangling carrot. It is true what you say about symptoms getting worse when you go deeper and connect to deep parts of yourself
Yes the CFS healing community is a big business. I don't agree with many things in it. But when it comes to RU-vid, It's hard to give everything away for free like I used to do for example. I did offer some free anger release meditations in the past and people dived in without the necessary preparation, that backfired hard on me as people started blaming me. So it's a grey area where you give information and at the same time you need to get something back to earn money. The advantage for me is that I now work with mostly committed clients and that's why I can achieve better results for them.
@@releasecfsyeah but even coaching, I think it’s a lot of telling people they can heal so they keep spending money but don’t actually heal. Perhaps some can but this is the problem with unregulated treatments like this with no science to back up any of it
@@Mandance yes I understand. I am looking into inviting science to monitor and observe our clients having releases where they turn their symptoms off on demand.
@@MandanceThe medical industry and their treatments are far worse and there are no guarantees and few healings. At least with these types of programs, they are more in line with first do no harm!
I think emotions tge scale of emotions that make us human is from lowest despair self hate guilt to anger to moving up to happy to love and gratitude it’s all normal but lower states can impact u negatively it manifests in ur body negatively so learning how to sooth ur mind to put u in higher states is not done intact we run the world with low frequency music low frequency news low frequency tv shows etc and we wonder why people r stuck in these low frequency states. U teach people how to move up how to let go of past how to not live in past or future how to empty the stress bucket . It’s skills society doesn’t teach
Yes most of the negative things you mention are used as stressful coping mechanisms that are very profitable for a handful of people. Will humanity free itself from it? Let's see what happens when more people are needing to heal because of some health conditions. I think it is the time for it as so many people experience health problems right now.
How about Energy? We live in an Energy Universe. What you Give you will Recieve. Give forgiveness and Love and that will Heal you Peace through Forgiveness 😊❤
I think that's only possible after becoming whole again with all the different aspects that we are having. Many people who try to do this without becoming whole first, will feel like they are faking it.
Hi Daniel, I agree with you--that you have to heal the whole mind and body, or relapse is inevitable. I had to heal my anxiety, hyper vigilance, limiting beliefs and trauma before I could begin to recover from my chronic illness. After that there was a sense of a release, and more space for healing to take place--fewer blocks in my body. Thanks for sharing this compelling and accurate video.
I have debilitating tension headache and a frozen face- can’t even smile because it’s so tense. It’s been a year with this and I can’t live like this anymore… what is this? When I laugh- my laughter is inhibited it won’t pass through the brain … what is this?
I have this often when people look at me. I’m so tense I can’t smile, I just stare at them. And that’s ok. I let it be. I don’t fight it. I accept it. Who says you have to fix anything?
@@FrunkeHandalisat I want to be normal. Like I was before. It’s not nice not being able to smile or feel laughter etc… the tension is killing my soul. It’s not me!!! I’m scared for life. It’s really scary. I won’t make it another month let alone another year
@@Kiki-sv8gl I know exactly how you feel. I really do. But being scared isn’t gonna help at all. You know for a fact that your body is not sick. You’re alright. Remind yourself of that fact every day. It’s alright. It’s your brain perceiving danger. Let it happen. Don’t focus on it. Shift your attention to living your life. Are you working?
I misunderstood you, but maybe it helps nevertheless what I wrote: Are you maybe emotionally frozen? Go with your mind/attention into your body, not to the outward, feel as if your mind treats your baby body with the love of a mother. There is a concept of Elaine Aaron, I think, about the highly sensitive person, that we are grown ups in a body of a toddler, she meant babies/toddlers percieve every thing in a very strong way, they have strong feelings; I personally have enormous problems to allow the intensity of my feelings, since childhood days, they kill me, I am afraid of losing consciousness, since it happened when I was 7 yo and I fell on a cobbled road on my face. I woke up on the couch of my grandfather and did not know what had happened, only later I remembered that I had fallen down on that road in the village of my grandfather and the pastor's wife came to me and asked what had happened and I told her and then the thread teared. I do not know how I had come to my grandfathers house. Writing this I understand I've had a problem with safety. Instead of being grateful that everything went right in that situation I accuse God and my parents, esp. my mother, not giving enough safety to me, that's it: I never felt safe. I've always had a fear deep inside although others always encouraged me and I managed situations well. I think I have not been in my body but always being outwardly striving to be as the others doing things as the others --- Give your body the warmth of motherly love and care. Do you feel your breath growing to a deep, slow breath ? I feel it this way. Do you feel safety? I do although I have in the background a dark colour-feeling (dark brown). I am a synaestetic person, I feel colours and structures about people or situations. You are suffering from being alone if I understand it right. I often pray to God for anything that worrys me. But I have to say when I wrote down about the situation when I was 7 I allowed my strong feelings to be as intense as they are. This is the best, although I am afraid but I try to trust that nothing bad will happen. I have lost the basic sense of trust because I nearly every year since my 3rd or 4 th year of my childhood had an accident. My problem has always been that I was very closed because I perceived already as a child that others would not understand me and my parents had not spoken about thei weaknesses either. My mother had often been busy and active in outward things. But I once experienced something very good: I had a painful treatment at the dentist as an adult in 2009. At the first appointment I was anxious, at the second one I had decided to be open and to face the situation, not to be afraid ( but I trusted to be safe in God) I had been able to bear the pain. The dentist was astonished about my calm behaviour. So to face the situation and to express what is inside of you---this is the way to become healthy again. But I think we have to learn to accept our limits, we need to withdraw from outside stimulations in order to not feel a stimulous overload. I am sorry for this chaos. I hope something can help you. Do not give way to despair but express yourself as you did here. I wish you all the best. Astrid from Berlin (Germany)
I have debilitating tension headache and a frozen face- can’t even smile because it’s so tense. It’s been a year with this and I can’t live like this anymore… what is this?
Agree Daniel. We need to connect to our true self and express what is inside. 💎 Now I don't care if everyone around me feels differently, I feel stronger in my own skin. That wasn't the case before I became ill. These little gems from you remind me that i am on the right path.💛💛
@@COLOFIDUTI that's nicely said. It could help to make it more practical. Like for example to turn separation from yourself into denying your own emotions.
ultimately I think it comes down to safety. if you think that a naturopathic remedy will cure you and you no longer feel unsafe then it likely works. For some of us though the fear of fear is what keeps the pattern going especially if you have developmental trauma and so for those of us I think learning not to be scared of feelings or sensations is key or at least allowing the fear and not being scared of it. I'm a master at fear of fear.. But it's slowly improving as I learn to stay with myself and stop dissociating whenever I feel something I don't like. I'm getting glimpses of a quiet mind which comes and goes but it's truly a wonder to feel even a tiny amount of peace after 50+ of intense stress.
@@pipgalea1376 with a form of brain retraining you can teach your brain to feel safe with fear again. After that the emotion becomes easier. And luckily, every emotion lasts only a maximum Of a few minutes. After that the mind instantly calms down. Big hug 🤗
I can speak from my experience that I've found underneath my fear whole parts of my self that were suppressed, parts that carried a tremendous amount of pain. When you're able to move beneath the fear into the parts of you that carry pain (and/or other feelings like shame and loneliness and self-hatred), and reconnect with them and hold them and love them, the fear will quiet down. But in order to get there, the fear must first be fully accepted and embraced and sat with, because those parts of us are speaking through it. They're terrified because they've been abandoned, usually by our parents when we were children, but also by us as adults, because the pain (or shame or other dark feelings) were too much for us to carry by ourselves when we were young and so we abandoned them out of necessity. But love finds a way, and when love opens you up to those parts of yourself, and they experience your love for them, they will heal and experience peace.
Wat ik jammer vind. Jij bent toch nederlands? In het engels is er super veel content over pdp. Tms, body mind, Sarno. Etc etc etc. Vandaag wilde ik een oudere vriend ermee bekend maken. Maar hij is niet zo goed in het engels verstaan/ begrijpen. Nou je begrijpt wel waar ik heen wil. Waarom niet in het Nederlands????? Of ook in het Nederlands.
Ja ik begrijp je. Ik woon al heel lang niet meer in Nederland en spreek inmiddels ook gebroken Nederlands. Ik spreek wel vloeiend Duits, maar alles vertalen is ook niet echt iets wat je even doet. Engels is voor de meesten toegankelijk. Dikke knuffel
@@releasecfs Sorry, maar je Engels is ook gebroken Engels. Het is niet dat ik er op let, maar heb 24 jaar in de VS gewoond dus ik hoor meteen de 'foutjes'. Zo te lezen is je Nederlands nog goed, dan gaat spreken ook goed en aangezien je opneemt kun je het overdoen.
I think the chronic illnesses come when the body cannot take it anymore. It reacts to the sum of our stressors. You might have exposure to mold at home, a bad boss, troubles with your kids and trauma/unreleased emotions and you still function OK. But then Covid enters, or some other virus or lay offs at work or other stressor. And that breaks the camels back. Your autonomus nervous system gives up and start giving you a lot of symptoms. Most people then focus on that latest problem, the virus or whatever, because they want their old life back. That usually does not help. Some may get well when they get rid of for example mold. Then they can come under the treashold and get well. But many, or even most, of us have childhood trauma as a major contributor to our stressload and therefore releasing emotions is often a great way to heal. Also other stressors can come and go during your life (toxins, viruses, grief etc) and you are still just one stressor away from getting a relaps or some other desease. But once you are done with Childhood Trauma, it will not come back. So I would say there are many ways to heal in the short-medium timeframe but only one that will last a lifetime. But don’t underestimate the value of just getting well for a few years! Raising your kids without being bedbound, or getting your finances back on track is also valuable!
What do you think about Positive thinking? Should you try to think positive in every situation or is that repressing emotions? Can you feel whatever is there while thinking positively all the time?
@@releasecfs But when negative thoughts come, what do you do? If I let them be there, I feel miserable with these negative thoughts all the time, so I have to convert them to positive thoughts.
@@FrunkeHandalisatmaybe try to stay with them for a while and ask them what they ate trying to tell you? Is there a pattern? Do they remind you of soething? Or can you do soething with your body to make them tone down? Walk, dance, lift wheigts?
I wanted to say, never C/T benzodiazepines. It could really harm you or cause a lot of bad things you don’t want. It’s spoken about extensively in the Joe Rogan podcast with Jordan Peterson about his C/T on benzodiazepines. It’s a real risk. There’s lot of scientific evidence on this on PubMed. Really taper off according to the famous Ashton manual which helped so many people to get off of it who couldn’t before. It’s the hardest one to get rid off and it will get easier if you also work on the mental side of things like this work! Benzobuddies could be helpful if you’re medical dependent on benzo’s already! ;)
Same here! I did the lightening process for 6 months and ANS rewire for about a year. I found that after doing the brain retraining my stored childhood trauma surfaced and I didn’t know how to cope with it and fell into patterns. I need to get to the root of the patterns I’m finding parts work helpful and having a trauma informed therapist helping me. I prefer bottom up processes that send safety messages and work with the nervous system. I still visualise but only to help my mood and imagine a future I would like to be living so I can be true to myself. It’s not a one size fits all approach that’s for sure!
I dont think you need them but it can certainly speed things up for some people. I knew some people who were unable to recover until taking a short course of an SSRI. But i dont think they are ever a long term solution.
right on Dan the woman with exhaustion vaccuming the house yeah did her gut bacteria restore in a sliver between a nanosecond??? like me believing i was in severe detox then getting drawn into singing and dancing and sheer bliss for hours on end!!! very liberating connect the dots Mikayla
hey! Daniel, Been watching your videos for sometime because I like you take on many things. I was diagnosed 24 years ago and only in the last 2 years have I made any significant headway toward recovery. Most of those years were spent fighting the illness. Completely futile but I did not better. Recovery started when I embraced surrender and emotional release. Things I am still working on. I am somewhere in the middle stages of recovery. My question has to do with the environment I have been unwell in, for so long. To cope with benig severely sick I learnt to avoid certain things, adopted cautions and strong aversions. Only doing what was essential. I am finding that being in the same environment and needing to doing those things that there is great deal of resistance. For instance, there is ease in reading outside away from home rather than at home. I know this is because I lost the ability and had to force retrain myself to learn again often enduring powerful migraines and head pains to do so. I wondered if you experienced anything like this and had any advice?
Yes this is normal. At home you are triggered with old emotions and they are surfacing. The brain is protecting you against them with symptoms such as migraine attacks. You also need to process what happened to you at home. You could stay elsewhere and feel a little better, but eventually you will need to face and process certain emotions.
I must say my Healy (I brought it when it was still very cheap) has and still helps me get to sleep. You can’t release all of your stressors in one go and you need to sleep to recover to have the energy to release again. So I think there is definitely a place for regulating the body in the whole, you just don’t want to get stuck there. But I believe to release there must be some sort of energy in the body where you can build on.
I think it depends on so many things, what course you do for example. I think the lightening process and their approach is the worst for suppressing emotions but I know people it has worked for. There are other more holistic programs like Gupta and Primal Trust that are better. It depends on your life situation too. I’m in a stressful life situation which it’s impossible to remove myself from because it involves my children. Sometimes I have to use brain training well I’ve exhausted all other options using somatics, eft, journaling. Sometimes I start to spiral and the only way to stop myself sinking is to do a bit of brain training
Then maybe what you need to do is switch your attention from your thoughts to your chest, your heart, your stomach and try to stay there, and just feel without thinking.
Im in week 4 in my worst crash ever :( can not even sit up without getting more muscle and skeletal pain. I am really responding well because I know the brain wants to protect me. But how long can this last?
@@Akemaaa that's tough. This response will last until it won't serve a purpose anymore or until you have released the stressor or when it winds slowly winds down.
For me it’s interesting. Ever since I was a kid, I could never accept when I was ill. I always raged and took Medications. In puberty it got worse. Because I was such a workaholic, I hated it so much when I was ill. Because I felt like a failure if I did nothing for a week or so. Now since 3 years I feel like this permanently 😅
I did ANS rewire but hardly ever did the stop process. I didn’t like it and felt like I’d have to do it all day every day as I had so many negative thoughts. I’m in a much different place now- healing in a more attuned way
Hey everyone. I did Lightning Process back in 2015 and it has totally transformed my life for the better. Like changed my life radically. When I went into the course, I was aware that some people didn't get results, and I was afraid of this, and worried it would be me too. I saw a post on the internet about someone who didn't get good results straight away, who struggled with it, but he persisted and kept learning, getting help etc until he'd worked out how to make it work for him. I went into the LP course with this in mind, that no matter what happened, I would persist and not give up on working it out until it worked for me. The science behind it are universal so it's not to say that LP is the only way to implement it, however I found a great practitioner and applied myself to it consistently over about four years. Now, after living nearly ten years with wellness, my life is very different and all of my dreams have come true - participating in sports, working in the aerospace industry, running my own business, purchasing property, I have just published a book. I kept getting ongoing coaching from my practitioner when new issues cropped up, attended the LP refresher courses every year, and studied everything I could about the science behind LP from many other sources, including sports psychology. I still get top ups by watching Phil's videos and attending LP fun runs which my practitioner organises. There had been trauma in my childhood which I think was the initial cause of my health issues, and I used good quality healing therapies over time for this as well. I've never managed to quite attain 100% recovery, it's close to 95% though, and I live a full life with everything I could ask for. Throwing myself into all this consistently for some years has really worked for me. I share my experience with love to all and hope this may help someone. Cheers, Moni
