If I could “shout from the rooftops” just one thing, it would be the impact of your thoughts and emotions on your physical body (particularly your pelvic floor). The best way for me to explain this is by sharing my story. May it offer you comfort and a little more understanding about the mind-body connection.

@BarbaraBirkett Год назад

I really need help I must have my problem delt with that's the bulge there I've said it I don't want surgery that's why I haven't had it seen to I do have discomfort no pain

Oh thank you so much 😢 I knew you were the perfect person to listen to. I’ll implement some of your strategies and let you know. I’m 70, both my adult children having issues, and I started crying as soon as you said the word grief. I’ve saved this video to pass on to others. I too am dealing with hemorrhoids 😮 and recognize the butt, gut /brain connection. You are such a blessing. I’m an Essentrics teacher and pass on what I learn about pelvic health to my students. I too am a “mover”. I’ll keep going, knowing I will get through this. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom learned from your body and experience. Blessings to you!!

I just came upon this video. As a 71 yr old woman, nurse, mother of two sons and someone experiencing vaginal issues I applaud you for your honesty, vulnerability and ability to give us hope that we can take control of our bodies and also share the pelvic exercises and acceptance of the issues in our lives that affect our bodies. Even our most precious parts! Thank you!

I'm a 44 yo male, retired Marine with several combat deployments. In 2020, 4 years after I retired from service, amidst COVID, a long list of personal stressors including marital, financial, existential & parental, I BROKE. Had a triple header of panic attacks which landed me in the ER. 3 visits over a 4 week period. Talk about that LOW point? I can 110% relate to every single thing you've said in this whole video. The self loathing, as I reflected upon "who I was" versus whom I had become, "this isn't the man who led Marines, or the one my wife married," or I'm a disgrace and a dishonor to all those great leaders who made me who I was," etc, etc. Those narratives literally broke me. Since that time, I've suffered with health anxiety, hopping from one horrible illlness to another, hyper body vigilance, cat scan for brain tumor, HIV tests, heart scans, the list goes on. I remember so clearly, sitting on my bedroom floor, feeling that my mind was shattered and I'd never be able to pull the fragments back together. One of my symptoms has been to fixate on my post urinary dribbling, convincing myself I had some major urological problem. Sure enough, went to the doc to get urinalysis and blood test for prostate and all things urological. Again, all tests came back good. What I had to eventually discover on my own was that I was clenching my pelvic flloor constantly, in an effort to mitigate ANY post void dribbling. Checking my underwear over and over after I would pee because I was SURE that THAT time, I lost some urine. I'd check yet again, and sure enough: dry. This symptom is the one that seems to come back during periods of high stress and/or depression. Anyway, I've gone on and on, but I had to respond given the pure authenticity you've put on display here. And you're right-I don't think we should share our story until we're at least coming out the other side. A friend of mine had some great advice for me when I disclosed this stuff to him. He said; "You BROKE in 2020 and you need to own that." Wow. While I certainly had accepted the fact that my panic attacks forever changed me, in several GOOD ways, as well as challenging ones, I had not REEEEALLY gone deep into what that acceptance meant. By acknowledging that I did in fact BREAK, I found a huge sense of liberation.....I no longer "HAD TO" be THAT guy anymore, with all the extreme outlooks he had onto. I could let him go. It's still an ongoing process of acceptance and mourning, but what I've learned is that there is no going back. Each time I've tried to go back abd find that guy again, and use the same aggression and zero defects/"death before dishonor" mindset to deal with my challenges, I suffer. My symptoms get aggravated and I become deregulated. I now dream of helping other vets and first responders escape that loop through my own story. But first, I have to complete this process of metamorphosis because it's still a battle. "You died, and your life is hidden with God."

@vibrantpelvichealth 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for opening up and sharing your journey. It's evident how deeply you've been affected by the challenges you faced after retiring from the Marines, especially during the intense times of 2020. Your description of how you reached a breaking point and your subsequent struggles with self-identity and health anxiety resonates profoundly. It's encouraging to see how you've gained insights, even finding liberation by acknowledging your "break" and embracing change. Your aspiration to help fellow veterans and first responders is admirable. Your own experience can indeed be a beacon of hope for others on a similar path. Remember, healing is a process, and your determination is commendable.

@Atom_Stone 10 месяцев назад

@@vibrantpelvichealth thanks so much for your thoughtful reply! You definitely get where I'm coming from, and your reminder that it's a continuing process is also appreciated. The "zero defects" mentality still creeps in once in a while...well, often! You paved the way for my disclosure of this personal story by sharing your own so courageously. I wish you the very best, and I look forward to more of your content. 🤗😊

@vibrantpelvichealth I am in tears. My story is similar. I lose my mom to COVID and had a breakup 2 months later. My body was under tremendous stress. I lost weight, hair, friendships and now I suffer with a stage 1 prolapse because my mental health was at its lowest. Thank you sooo much for this video... Crying because I feel as though I am not alone and I want you to know your not alone either. God is love 🙏🏾♥️

@alicemccallister9299 9 месяцев назад

Wow Dr. Bri, after hearing you talk about your heartbreak and how it affected your pelvic pain, I realize that all the things i went through before my pain started is what started my pain. I’ve been going to a lot of physical therapy, but now I need badly to find a therapist to help me get over the one thing after another that got me physically in a mess of this hellish physical pain. Thank you so much for being vulnerable to the world. I am hoping now that I can work on my mind in order to heal my body. You, dear girl, are so fantastic. I’m 72 and wish I could have been as sincere, loving, and had your depth of spiritual wisdom when I was your age.

@vibrantpelvichealth 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that my story resonated with you and helped you make connections between your own experiences and your pelvic pain. Working on both the physical and emotional aspects of pain is often key to finding relief and healing. It's never too late to work on personal growth and healing, and I wish you all the best on your journey to recovery. If you ever need further guidance or support, don't hesitate to reach out to professionals who can help. Take care!

Thanks for still keeping the videos up Dr. Bri. You held yourself together like a champ in those videos. Thanks for giving of yourself. You are amazing. Thank you so much. My mental health and emotions are not handling this well. Symptoms and tummy, hemmerhoids all that. I think I have proctalgia fugax.

It reminded me of the TED talk I heard once about the importance of Emotional Hygiene. So grateful to be able to follow you and all of your great content! Thank you for your wonderful message!!😊

@jenniferforant852 Год назад

Thank you for sharing. It’s beyond empathic to know someone you look up to and has had such a positive impact on your life can be so real and have the same emotional and physical issues. Sometimes in the last two years I’ve felt like I was just going crazy with grief and fear over the issues I was having. Moving is one of the things that gave me a rock to secure myself to. I want to give you a virtual hug and thank you again for sharing something so real.

@lynnecook6079 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your story. You were so natural and really open with us. It’s really caring and just so honest. I can so relate to how painful a friendship breakup can be. And how much longer it can take than we think it ‘should.’ Step by step in doing my work and healing. It’s slow and yet I trust it’s worth it. I’ve really had to re learn how to trust myself and slowly learn how to trust friendships. ❤

@etude83 Год назад

I have so many thoughts about this video and I am so appreciative of your story!! I am on the cusp of 40. During lockdowns I dropped 10 pounds I couldn't spare, lost my period (which never returned), and developed prolapse. It was all a direct result of the damage that time period did to my mental health. I am getting physically stronger slowly with time, but I still feel incredibly lost in life. I keep reminding myself I deserve some grace about this....masks only came off in my city a year ago, and that alone had been a severely re-traumatizing issue for me. I think we all lost autonomy over our bodies and minds during that era, and for thoughtful/sensitive people such as yourself that is bound to have far reaching implications on body mind and soul. Thank you so much for being open about this! All best to you❤

@vibrantpelvichealth Год назад

Thank YOU for sharing your story, and thank you for watching mine. The lockdowns impacted all of us in unique ways that will probably be noticed for years to come. It was a strange time... but we CAN rise from it. Give yourself time to grieve the changes, know that you're not alone, and know that there's hope on the other side of all this. Gentle movement to help process the emotions that come up, and self-love practices such as my morning affirmations for pelvic health can be such a balm: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WKcIGlWu3HM.html Best wishes to you!

@krystalgardiner5591 5 месяцев назад

Weird bc that’s exactly when my same symptoms started.. I didn’t lose weight I lost all muscle in my body, including butt, hips, pelvic area, my old 4th degree tear scar tissue started tending up so badly it gave me neuralgia symptoms as well as I lost the ability to orgasm (I think from loss of muscle and pinching of nerves) It has affected me badly.. along with bad pain especially during my period. Good luck to you!

Thank you for watching, Peggy. I'm sending you loads of compassion and love as you move through your own grief. It's part of the human experience, and it's not easy, but it's helpful to know that we're not alone and that it WILL get easier (mind and body).

Dr Bri. Thank you for encouraging us to find the way to the light. I am in a very dark tunnel at the moment,but I will try to show up every day and do the work. I’m in the midst of a perfect storm of physical/mental pain and being sucked in the vortex of anxiety and hopelessness. I have been thru this before, and made it. When it was over I was not interested in revisiting that period of major stress as it was a long and bumpy road. Like I had to climb Everest with no training. Now I have to do again and I still feel like a novice. Glad your better!!!!

@TheDailyDigestion Год назад

Wow!! Thank you for speaking the truth!! I appreciate this video so much, it met me right where I needed it to!! I too have experienced this mind body and emotion connection with my pelvic floor and it is sooooo true. Water fasting is a great tool , which showed me a child hood trauma of an emotional heart break from preschool ( me crying on the floor on my nap map after my mom leaving me ….. I think we all have it some where to a certain degree …. Acceptance that we are all broken is the key , but yeah , we must be strong 💪 and suck it up and go on …. Especially when we have kids jobs husbands ect …. Thank you so much Dr. Bri , this video made me cry … you are such a sweet person 😊😘

Dr. Bri, I admire your courage and transparency. You spoke into my life, my heart and my soul. Your journey and experiences resonated very strongly with me. The past five years life has been crushing. And working through grief is heartbreaking. Like you, I sought help and find talking to trusted people helpful. I found “Bring blessings to the tender places” profound and it really struck a place in me. I also tell myself “I am safe and all is well”. Thank you!🥰🕊️

@discover.yourjoy Год назад

Dr. Bri, thank you so much for sharing your story. How powerful to be so transparent for so many. I really appreciate it. I want to say the wayyou kept working although "it wasn't working" is actually quite typical. It takes time for the brain to change. You were rewiring your brain and those pathways have to become strong before they take over. I admire your determination!! And congratulations on your recovery!!

Awareness of the mind-body connection is powerful because and helps us normalize and work through the pain (emotional AND physical). Sending you best wishes as you navigate your own situation and story. ❤

@kevinshoemaker5466 Год назад

Thank You! Your honest, authentic share should be cherished by everyone who follows you. My own story is a work in progress, but because I found your posts, I found a wonderful Pelvic Floor Therapist who treats men, and is helping me heal from a cycling injury and the after affects from prostate cancer surgery (removal). I had no idea how emotionally devastating that would be and am dealing with that journey as I respond to this. It had made me question everything. But the answers are coming, little by little.

Thank you so much for doing this. I knew that our emotions affect how we feel physically but never really thought about it affecting my pelvic area but it makes total sense! I have been through some rough things and am now realizing that those moments when I have felt at my worst emotionally is when the hemorrhoids, urinary issues, etc. have been an issue. I am definitely going to tap into paying attention and working through these things. I think I need to go shake a little 🥰 Thank you for sharing your story and have a beautiful day 💕

@vibrantpelvichealth Год назад

Lori, thank you for your kind comment. It was a little scary to put my personal story in such a public place as RU-vid, but I feel *so strongly* that people need to understand how emotions impact our bodies, particularly our pelvic area. I'm sorry you've been through some hard times. I know it might not help to hear right now, but you WILL get through it, especially when you face the emotions that you're dealing with and use practices such as shaking! SO GOOD!!!

The worst of the healing process started when I was pregnant with my 2nd child and I developed prolapse. I have worn a pesarry device for about 5 years. A year and half ago I started pelvic floor therapy and found your channel. It has been during this time of really putting into practice the mind body connection that I started experiencing true freedom in body, my heart and my mind. Thank you for living every day and making the choice to get up and put these videos together even on the days you didn’t want to, for doing so, you were healing yourself but also providing healing for others like myself. I am truly grateful. ❤

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m 56 and my heart was recently broken by my mother. I went through a really rough time with stomach issues and didn’t put two and two together until my acupuncturist pointed it out to me. What a revelation that was for me! It’s been about 6 months and I’m happy to say my stomach issues are gone. I’m still feeling heartbroken and angry but I am getting through it! Your story really resonated with me. Thank you. 😊🌻❤️

@vibrantpelvichealth Год назад

Oh wow, Lisa... I'm so sorry to hear that. "Mother wounds" can hurt SO DEEPLY since we are energetically tied to our mothers, even if we are very different people or if we disagree about things. I'm glad you were able to move through the pain, and that you were able to make some connections about the mental/emotional impact on your stomach. Interestingly, the stomach is part of our digestive system where we break things down... Likewise, when emotions have a hard time being "broken down" and "digested," they often present as stomach issues! Isn't the mind-body connection cool???!!!

@annethebustlelady9333 Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your experience chimed with mine, in a weird way, which no one has believed. Last summer, I went from no prolapse at all, to full grade three uterine and bladder prolapse in the space of two weeks. This was immediately after my daughter told me her marriage was ending, after years of horrendous trauma, as her husband wanted to transition to being a woman. My reaction was that “her world was falling apart” and my body went into grief and started to fall apart. My doctor of course dismissed that as no one gets a full prolapse in the course of two weeks. But I’ve always recognised how the mind affect the body. I suspect I may not be able to reverse a stage three prolapse, but inspired by your story, I intend to see if I can make a difference to what I’m experiencing. Thank you for all your work, and for giving hope to people in whatever stage of grief they are going through.

Thank you so much for sharing this! My perfect storm hit about seven years ago and greatly impacted my pelvic core. I hit menopause, my son left for college, and we moved to a town where I did not have any friends. I’m still grieving, mostly because I don’t know who I am or what I’m supposed to be doing. But, it’s getting better, because once I realized I was grieving, I was able to start processing that. Thank you for the explanation you’ve given about the connection to the pelvic floor. It really resonated with me and I know will be a positive force in me continuing to move forward. I’ve got to find a place to do some dancing. I remember in my childhood, wishing I could take dance lessons. I really just want to be free to express myself how I want to and not how I think others might be thinking I should. I almost forgot to mention that I actually had internal prolapsed hemorrhoids and ended up requiring surgery to repair them. It was definitely devastating, and as taken long to heal than I expected , but I am healing! I may actually feel “normal” in my rectum again! Yippee!

@vibrantpelvichealth Год назад

Wow, what a wallop! So much happened for you, it's no wonder you felt the impact in the CORE of your body! Lots of root chakra shake-ups happening all at once. I love that dancing is calling to you so deeply. Dance is a wonderful practice for moving stuck energy through and releasing it so that you can feel like YOURSELF again... I wish that everyone would dance every day. I encourage you to find a private space in your home and just put on ANY song that moves you. Let your body move however it wants to, whether it's fast, slow, or anything in between. Even "dancing" lying down on your bed or sitting in a chair is possible! Dance like no one is watching (because no one is)... and LET IT MOVE THROUGH. You've got this!

Thank you for sharing your story Dr Bri! It really helps to feel that i'm not alone with my experiences after hysterectomy and hard post-covid emotional symptoms that i had soon after the surgery (my family doctor had made me feel that i'm kind of exeption that take such ordinary surgery so hard). I'm so glad that i found your chanell. I've already joined your Lift programme a couple of days ago and now i know that there is a hope and i believe that i will be fit again and will be able to do yoga and walk and lift things without fear.

@vibrantpelvichealth Год назад

Oh my gosh, it makes me crazy when healthcare providers say things like that (i.e. that you took an "ordinary surgery" too hard)! It can be so damaging to hear things like that. Please know that your experience is your own -- *no one* can tell you what it "should" be like or feel like for you. And your healing experience is your own too! It sounds like you're taking charge of your healing in a really positive and powerful way by joining Lift and surrounding yourself with a community that cares. You keep doing YOU. You're doing everything right, and I'm proud of you!!!

@sparklej1142 Год назад

I am so sorry this happened to you. To me, emotional pain is more real than physical. for me, the hardest trauma I ever went through was my veteran son unraveling. He married and had kids, but reached a point where he just couldn't cope any more. He attempted suicide four different times. The VA wanted to permanently institutional him, but our family decided we'd care for him. All his children wanted badly to be around their dad. He's made it back. He's healthy and in a good relationship now. Emotionally, for me that was the single hardest moment of my life. You are right about the stories. The most important thing you do is be honest with yourself. There are no wrong feelings. Just acknowledge where you are. And your stories change as the experience gets farther away from the moments of crisis. That can be really healthy. Just writing about this now helps. Physically I dealt with all of this by practicing yoga and tai chi and my faith, immersing myself in music that eased my soul. I expected to cry daily as part of my exercise and I felt pleased when I did. I'm a different person from who I used to be. Now I am more at peace. I laugh often, and see the absurdity all around me and just accept it all. I do my very best to tell the truth, especially to my grandkids who lived through the crisis too. For all of you out there who are in the middle of something terrrible, it will get better. Hang on. Find something to believe in. Find exercise that gives you passion. If possible mix those two elements together. Blessings to you all.
