Joi's TMS Success Story - Hip and Leg Pain, Digestive Issues, Insomnia and more 

Joi, I found myself crying at 3 separate times during your testimony. People are always talking about how important it is for them to relate to someone who has the same symptoms as they do - it makes it more personal. I never cared that much about finding someone who had the same experiences as me because I know I have TMS. But then as I listened to you describe your hip diagnoses and your fear of limping in public, it was like listening to myself. And it has struck me to my core. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your story. I am so grateful to you and Dan for this video.

Joi put into words how much I was resisting rest cause I perceived it as not getting something done or trying to distract from it. My perfectionism or judgement of not being enough are why I resist. Plus as Dan always says stop trying to treat your symptoms. I think this is the underlying reason why I and many have suffered from insomnia. You're okay and permitted to rest. To do nothing. To just be. I'm feeling very hopeful. Thank you both for sharing. It's so rewarding to hear you both in that and I loved the part about being the parent you always wanted. We're finally becoming whole no longer denying the parts of ourselves that we've deemed bad. I'm holding on to hope for my own success story when it happens 😊

I listened to this while exercising…my workout flew by! I was hanging on every word! So grateful for this. I could identify with many things Joi shared. Such an energy of peace surrounding her. Thanks to Dan & Joi for sharing this.

I could listen for hours to you Joi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, insights and strategies ! It inspires me to learn more about IFS too. The brain is a learning - machine !! Yess!! For me it feels like my brain took / learned abnormal beliefs to be normal.. and my job is to teach my brain there is a better way to keep me safe without pains / symptoms. Like giving my original mindset a good detox. Thanks for the lovely interaction between you both and I wish you JOY, Joi for the present and future ! Thanks for opening up to us all ❤🙏

Really interesting about the wheat and dairy sensitivities, I've been 'told' by a nutritionist I'm allergic to these, I'd never had any symptoms... but I stopped eating them for 4 years. Now with my new pds learning, I started eating them again, and now I have symptoms... so this helps me understand I need to work through them without fear. Brilliant, thank you

I had wonderful parents so I can’t improve on them. I thought everyone had happy childhoods. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized how lucky I was. It is myself who is the harsh critic of me.

This is it! Its my Story… I need her coaching… I am in The Netherlands. I feel like I was close but this is so hopefull. I wish someday to be in your interviews. And be able to inspire others. We dont have coaches in my country that are so experiened like you .. I wish upon a star that somehow I will be able to have a coach like you or Joi. ❤ Thank you infinite… this is so hopeful. I hope to be able to moove so freely as I used to… moving used to be my medicine for everything.. my body was so flexibele and pain free … never ever had I imagined that this would happen to me. I lost everything because of the pain. Everything I loved so dearly. 🙏🏻💕

Thank you Joi & Dan for sharing this. Joi I completely understood everything you said, you made perfect sense. So grateful to you for sharing your journey, especially about the emotions coming out & up for love, witness & understanding. Much love to you. Enjoy your life.

Accepting ALL emotions as they occur, instead of trying to minimize or change them. Wow. That REALLY hit home with me. Thank you, Joi! ❤️

Thank you SO much Joi for sharing your recovery story with us. Only half way thru the video but it’s resonating on a very deep level for me. And I really needed this medicine today as I’m in a life flare up at a challenging time right before I need to travel for 3 days. “See perfectionism as a Protector of something kind of vulnerable inside you.” Brilliant! 🙏🏼💜✨

This was amazing. So grateful that Joi touched upon IFS. So important!

Thank you so much Joi for sharing your story with us!

Thanks for sharing your story Joi, what an inspiration you are. There’s some helpful golden nuggets here. Wishing you all the best in your coaching endeavours 💚

Great interview - absorbing & digesting the content is the key to freedom 🏆 champion! “It’s a mindset game!”

I love how you discuss visualization and how we are all really good at it, it’s just the wording..😉👌🏼

Thanking the protection works best for me Glad I tuned in to this video

These are such incredible stories! I totally related to this one in particular as I have the same symptoms. It gives me great hope so thank you so much for sharing.

Thankyou Joi, my story mimics yours so this has been exciting and inspiring to listen too xx

❤❤ Joi, fellow Coloradoan here....i live south of Denver....i absolutely loved your testimony! I relate to so much of what you said. Thank you for sharing.

My son holds on to what he wants to get rid of I told him the more you focus on what you want to get rid of the more you create it he goes back and forth I keep telling him about your videos and I wish you would start listening

Wow.. great success story.. ☺️🙏🏼💜thank you so much for sharing this Joi, and Dan for your continued wisdom, support, believe in the process.. thank you..🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m so grateful for having opened the door to getting back to who we are and not being afraid of that.. such a key component of my personal journey and many don’t touch on this.. love and grace for ourselves has been a very important part of my journey.. and so transforming in my life..🥰🤍💜 Such a blessing Joi, light & love to you in your continued journey 🥰✨🤍 Thank you Dan, eternally grateful for your work and supporting us..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜

I swear as she was trying to explain “I’m going there’s nothing wrong with me” out loud I’m saying believing it believing it and than Dan you said it. This is the hardest part of this whole work. The hardest!! We are told by docs therapists a 2000 things are wrong with us and that is easier to believe than nothing is wrong.

Thank you for sharing your story Joi - I love how you said that the brain is just a loving parent looking out for us and how you reframed visualization

Thank you for sharing your story Joi! It’s such a wonderful feeling once you are able to dial down the fear. This journey is about mindset and ditching the fear and you were able to do just that! Congratulations! And thank you to Dan for all he does for us!

Thank you so much Dan and Joi! This could be my story!

WE'RE THE ONLY ONE INSIDE OUR HEAD. WE ARE THE BOSS OF WHAT WE THINK AND BELIEVE THAT CREATES OUR MIND SET

I needed these sharing they complement the book

Just fabulous and so inspiring! Thank you Dan and Joi. I also loved the inclusion of IFS…..it is such a powerful and healing system. ❤

I want this so deeply. One of my biggest desires is to hiking tall hard mountains again. To feel strong and free. Thanks for this interview

Excellent video!

So good. Thank u Joi and Dan 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank u for sharing

P.S. Loved the insight into the concept of “too much”. ♥️

Perfectionism is to protect from a highly critical parent or boss.

My pain started the exact same way and it was right when I closed on my house, thanks for sharing your success story Joi!

Love you Dan thank you as always, you’re a hero to us all!

Thank you sooo much Joi & Dan very powerful helpful and clear awesome!!! Mikayla

Wow! Thank you Dan and Joi! This really could have been me speaking, the similarities to my long health journey (but still ongoing) are amazing... Apart from I'm no hiker! 😂 I'm currently having a really bad flare.. On board with mind/body but fluctuating between I'm 100% on board... To... what if there is something structural that needs addressing!! History of 3 back ops and colon cancer.. I think maybe I need to invest in some one on one work for my own sanity! Thanks again 💞

Hello from Colorado. I've been told, I have OCD. I was also told that I should not scan my body for symptoms. I would love to have Joi as a coach.

I’d love to speak to this lady x

I'm scared of the part were I need to tell myself I am OK or I am gonna be OK, because maybe I am not. For me at the moment this is like teaching my brain a door is not a door but a table. It just feels like lying 😢

How do I do to make part of the group of support ? Thanks a lot !!

I’m in absolutely no doubt that my symptoms are TMS. I just know for sure. But it doesn’t help one bit because then you get the confusion of the next step, and there’s no clarity whatsoever. We’re told that we need to feel our emotions, but that feeling frustration towards our pain is bad. So it’s ’feel your emotions, but not those ones.’ I’ve been told that we have to be inside our window of tolerance in order to process our emotions, but also that we need to process our emotions in order to find our window of tolerance. I’ve been trying to make sense of this for years, but the contradictions have left me terrified and unbelievably confused. Anyone else struggle so much with these next steps? To be clear, I’m not doubting my TMS. I know this is what’s going on, but it doesn’t help at all. It’s beyond frustrating.

Couldnt find anyone that had pain down both ares and the rib cage area as well 🤦🏾‍♀️

My question is.... did she really need the operation to begin with? I'm scared I may need one since my hip dislocated in an accident 30 years ago and now is bothering me. The doc at the time said there may be a bone that broke off and got loose. I do have many other symptoms..

This is all me ugh

Thanks for sharing Joi. Yes, the hypervigilance changes you and I know that feeling of "danger all the time", where nothing is comfortable. Fortunately we know it is a lie, that we are in fact ok, and it's a matter of telling yourself that and accepting the uncomfortable feelings for the time being.

Thank you Joi! Incredibly helpful video. I literally have received the exact same diagnosis from the ortho: FIA, labral tear, cyst, and told I need surgery and will never get better. I've used TMS successfully in the past for back and elbow pain but it's REALLY hard when the guy in the white coat is telling you you're broken.

Congratulations Joi you are a Hero go and live your life thank you for sharing sending you much love ❤️😘🇳🇱💐

This has me thinking back on all of the times in my life I’ve experienced symptoms, which I believe all have been fear based. I’ve always been very anxious, fearful, paranoid, ocd/anxiety. I never correlates physical symptoms to be correlated to the brain bc that’s excaly what ocd does as well. Create perceived danger to ruminate upon. This has been so eye opening and been connecting many dots for me. This was the missing piece I needed on my road to recovery and retraining my brain, I am okay!!! 😮❤❤❤ thank you this is life changing

This is so spot on. I needed this. The permission to show up imperfect. The permission to go slowly, one step at a time, one minute at a time. I've denied myself that gentle approach and because of that had to suffer a lot the past years. Very helpful testimony, thank you!

Wishing you so much happiness Joi, we have been on parallel journeys and I have learnt so much from you. Thanks for sharing your story and I look forward to hearing more about your adventures and understanding of this process.

This has really helped me. I look 20 years younger than l am. I have wom beauty comps and modelled. I feel SHAME at,walking with a crutch so stay in. When l go out l get compliments but don't believe them. I'm going to church on Sunday now. Speak to my brain. Get my life back!

Great vid thnku❤

I know exactly what she’s talking about No doubt chronic pain sucks but that impending doom of emotion, almost like a constant fear/panic feeling, it’s so intense sometimes 😅 , it will go away guys

Joi I feel like you are telling my story 😭

These success stories are valuable to me. Thank you Dan and Joi.

Just listening to this has reduced my pain a little

My Grandmother was a big x worrier I combat that as an adult My mom didn’t care about anything To opposites Getting my balance !

So true about not wanting to be seen in pain! I feel that

Can someone let go of symptoms by just doing internal family systems work? I have started working with Dan to settle symptoms. If this all is good enough then I would prefer not to dig up my past. I definitely don’t feel safe reliving my past. I have friends who do IFS and ACA. They keep telling me that is what I need.

Joi - so many beautiful nuggets of wisdom ❤ similar symptoms in my hips so amazing to know you hiked 10 miles! I’m on my way 🌈🙏
