How You Describe Your Experience Matters 

Woke up this morning with dizzy/giddy sensations, not had this one before...so old thoughts start up with their theories, guesses, doubts, fears, stories based on absolutely nothing & were trying to scare the crap out of me...but these days, thanks to Dan & this wonderful community of beautiful souls... I'm on to them little tricksters!! So little to no interest...carry on with my day. Just got back from a cycle ride. Brain is learning...sensations gone. This stuff really, really works folks. I continue to implement. Wishing everyone love. Love you Dan. Always grateful for you & all the daily reminders.💜

In my opinion us TMSers have vivid imaginations and an extensive vocabulary by default. Learning to redirect fearful language is part of recovery imo. I say I have a Pandora's box 🙄😁. However I don't have to open it.

Some of my favourite mantras when I need them: Today is amazing 💛 I choose to be happy 💛 I can change my life 💛 I am becoming healthier each and every day 💛 I may be imperfect - but I'm perfectly me 💛💛💛

Just be an observant.. Perceived danger and chronic symptoms can be an addiction. Anything imbalanced - there is no logical thinking involved in the brain. Being an observant to the symptoms means, you’re observing how the sensation feels like - when the brain behaves a certain way…but you’re not in it. It’s telling your brain NOT to perceive but to “observe” the fact of what’s happening during the sensation. Example, felt dizzy or confused as a sign of fear, but you didn’t fall.

“The way you describe your life matters”, love this statement, so true. Thank you Dan.

I think that people actually have these normal abnormalities and physical changes, but the brain increases motor output when in high levels of stress which magnifies the muscle tension, compression, symptoms, and negatively impacts decision making as it relates to physical activity in such a way that perpetuates a cycle. That’s my belief and it has been really helpful and healthy. It allows me to still do exercises I enjoy and feel good and implement Sarno to a degree.

Words are powerful. Words Matter. Thanks Dan and all.♥♥

Mines all tms. So...with that amazing knowledge that I'm not broken is such a good thing. Why? It's fixable! Don't need to desctibe symptoms. Like I don't know what they are lol. The important thing is I made another decision to have a great day and so it is. Mindset. Another win! Ty Dan..great vid❤🎉

Again, Dan, your timely topics will make for a better day. I’ll high light this hidden affirmation: “I’ve never seen anyone’s fear cause the symptoms to go away but I have seen COUNTLESS times when calm response did. Looking down the road that is a big warm 🎉comfort! 🙏🙏 sorry for the loose paraphrasing

We spent so much time (before we knew it was TMS) explaining and describing to doctors and others trying to figure out what was wrong with us! Time to switch the narrative ❤️

Give Up Control and Peace will follow!

If I could thumbs up this video multiple times, I would. I had no clue how by sharing and describing what and how I was feeling, that I was actually feeding the beast. It was tough to find other things to talk about, especially when someone who loved me compassionately would ask me: “How are you feeling today?” or even more specifically: “How is your body feeling lately?” Since undergoing QNRT & brain training sessions at a holistic practice here in MN to help rewire my brain, after 5 years of trying and struggling, my brain has finally stopped sending signals to my adrenals to fire off cortisol in response to triggers. My body now stays at rest and I can think clearly. I feel the best I have in over 5 years. I’m so thankful to have come across Dan’s RU-vid videos and coaching. Such wisdom and hope here that you are generously giving out to those who will hear. Thank you Dan!!!!

I’m trying to reduce amitriptyline (for nerve pain /sensations) and the numbness in my head is ramping up. I only take 1 /4 of 10mg dose and now trying to cut to 1/8. Last couple days I’ve had a bit more than an 1/8. I’m gonna try and ignore and tell myself I’m safe but it’s not easy as it’s a very uncomfortable sensation. Hopefully my body can let go of it. Thanks for this Dan.

Apparently trauma that initiatives TMS also does something to the developing right brain hemisphere, lighting it up as we grow, making us extremely creative, I can see it loud and clear in how us TMSers choose to use such colourful and vivid language. It doesnt help our cause! Instead of describing something as negative, you describe it as not being as positive as youd like. So the brain only has the positive word to work with.

Excellent video as usual, and a timely reminder for me. Thanks Dan.

I read something once that said: "The brain is an obedient servant - feed it wisely...." So true... ❤❤❤

I can do this!!!!!

Amazing video! How we describe our symptoms affects the experience of our symptoms. Colorful language and metaphors “explosion” “battery” “severe” “crash” and our self diagnosis- “kidneys/heart/nerve pain” “cyst” determine the severity and duration of our symptoms.

True, Thank You. ❤

Awesome 👏 Thank you Dan ♥️

Very good point. 2:37

Love love love this! Another amazing message for us all x

Boom 💥

I used to be the queen of triggering myself !

💛

SO good. Needed to hear this.

👏🏻

I need advice on what to chat about with people. Since the condition and recovery has almost consumed my life, I run out of things to talk about.. I don't do much other than listen to recovery stuff, rest, some work.. sometimes I'll do other stuff worth mentioning but... Anyone relate?? Can't always just talk about the weather. Certainly don't want to talk about politics!...

Do you know what the really loud bird is?

Yes true. I just don’t know what to do about them when they’re all day? Thanks

So when u say brain perceives danger - it is your negative thoughts that create the perceived danger?

Wow you used all the words to describe mine to a T. Doing much better tho NOT ever using those terms.

I love your work but how do you deal with someone near to you who doesn't believe in TMS? Is this something that can affect your progress?

I know you probably get these questions all the time, but can tinnitus be apart of tms ?

Will this work for Vax benzo injured

Can is avascular necrosis a tms
