Mind-Body Success Story- Overcoming 37 Years of Somatic Symptoms 

Guys, get with Jim, he is my therapist, I’m going to be a success story soon! Can’t wait for my video!! Make an appt with him seriously if you’re scared or struggling at all! He will get you on the path, and then KEEP you on the path! The symptoms try to scare us so much, we all really need a coach to hold the line when we can’t hold it.

Wow - what a recovery story. So many parallels with mine - same age, same injury, at my bleakest last year like you I found the Curable App and Alan Gordon’s book. It was like I had found the Holy Grail. The fear went almost immediately and the pain has reduced permanently by 90% - I get occasional setbacks (twinges but who doesn’t) but they are very short-lived and I have learnt not to let myself spiral. Ongoing work to keep my nervous system calm but that is pleasurable. Thank you so much for sharing.

Jane- Your success story is amazing. I was having moderate physical symptoms from anxiety when I started to listen and I’ve watched them melt away from watching you share your discoveries and methods with us. The way you’re totally ok with/ your symptoms has shifted something that has long alluded me. I’m inspired to keep working for the clarity, confidence and joy you have found. Thanks so much.

I’m so glad you talked about anxiety. That’s my biggest symptom along with chronic back pain. It’s not a mental thing, it’s such a strong physical sensation. I’ll have a small mental worry and then a huge physical anxiety reaction that persists. I love your videos. They are extremely helpful. Thank you for all you’re doing. When I get some money someday I’m hoping to work with you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️wow! What a great recovery- story! Loved everything about it! Thanks so much for sharing ❤ Wish you a sunny happy present and future, and thank you for all the beautiful helpful insights!🌺

What a great interview! So much hope for recovery given! Big thanks to both Jim and Jane.

You inspire a lot of hope Jane! I’m in the middle of my journey. I need to embrace the belief. Ty for being on the channel!!

Excellent recovery story! MBS healing is more than freedom from chronic pain! It is freedom to live as we were intended to live. Also this is an excellent story of how to deal with symptoms which are inevitable after you are free from debilitating chronic pain.

Wow what a beautiful story and what a lovely woman Jayne is!! Her new found excitement for life is so contagious! The ending really changed my perspective… I have wanted to be a perfect in health… no more pain at all! But what you two said is true, it’s not possible but so what 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can still live my life and without FEAR, I know what this is… I am learning and putting into practice new tools and instead of thinking of implementing them as a chore, I can think of them as self care 💆🏻‍♀️❤…. Something I never did before my chronic symptoms. Thank you both for the interview!

21:52 I find that dietary restriction increases fear. That was always my “fixing activity” of choice. Letting that go has been really critical to remaining pain free.

This interview is a keeper! To be listened to over and over again!❤🎉

This is such a brilliant success story. Its really helped me realise that I will still have symptoms sometimes but I now have the tool box to sort them out. It's very helpful to hear that with mind body it's a life long ongoing process. Thank you Jim and Jayne this has been a revelation to me on this journey ❤🙏

Jayne is my hero! She has given me hope! The only thing I see missing on this video is her crown. (Jayne you know who this is-I am so grateful for your willingness to help me). I KNOW IM GOING TO GET BETTER!

Great interview. So informative and motivating. Thank you both.

I love Jayne's success story She is my age. Her story is so like mine. She gives me such hope. TY guys !

Thank you Jim and Jayne. I felt hope after watching this video.

Great interview and so helpful the way you both walked through her journey. Very helpful. Thank you both!

How lovely and articulate! I related to so much of what she shared. Especially the admittance of not really ever feeling true unmasked joy until now.. bittersweet! Helpful and hopeful. Thank you both!

Thank you Jane (and Jim) for sharing your amazing recovery. Wonderful you have found joy back in your life ❤

Bravo. Standing ovation. Thank you for spending the word. So hopeful and empowering. Yours gratefully South Australia 🌷

Hi Jim great success story.. thanks for sharing 😊

Great success story ty for sharing wishing you a wonderful life ❤❤❤❤

Thanks. Great story. Understandable

Thanks so much for sharing your story! “Being open 👍” is beginning to help me … at the beginning of this discovery 💡

Awesome testimony! Thank you for sharing. My favorite is " l ived my life in my mind." I was never able to articulate that!

Awesome

Congrats Jayne. So happy for you... telling the pain to sit at the other section was aha moment for me 🙂

Brilliant. She persisted and found her own path. Valuable lessons come with the journey (if we choose.) For some anger/bitterness stays post healing. For a very few PTSD. More healing then needed on a diff level. Based on Jim’s bio he’s very aware of this. FWIW in Canada esp Ontario, Alberta or Quebec big cities incl Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa (Kingston hosp is near) have large teaching hosps w/pain treatment/mgt pgms that incl aspects similar to TMS or neuro plasticity. Good physiatrists have this info too but hard to find. Hope Jane’s good health lasts many yrs and she only builds on it. Use it or lose it esp as we age. ; )

This is exciting. Thank you! I have always believed that i can get well. Have you worked with asthmatics? I’ve been diagnosed with “severe and persistent asthma” and am on disability. I got asthma at age 16 and I am 64. I’ve done mindbody work for 14 years and I love it. I haven’t gotten physical results yet but I have gotten alot out of mindbody work.

Moving the symptom! Brilliant!!!

Her story about the progression of her pain is so so similar to mine... How eventually you end up fearing the situation itself and being stuck completely isolated and unable to do anything.. In my case it is a nearly immovable digestive system. In my case it is also life threatening because eating and drinking is so hard.. The gastrointestinal doctor can only show me that the muscle movement is barely detectable, but he can´t find any other causes and thus solutions. So now we are pretty sure my extremely bad functioning gastrointestinal tract is a mind/body connection as a result of (c)ptsd as a result of emotional trauma(s).. I am so desperate and I don't know how to recover to such an extend I am just able to live..

I get it so much

Great recovery story! I agree that you cannot let your brain have control, for me that’s the hardest part. The fear and frustration get in the way. Hopefully I can conquer this soon.

Gosh thank you. I am hoping to be there soon too. I have been on this for 5 years and right now my big issue is fear and anxiety any advice out there for me?

I’m wondering if you can do videos for spouses and families and know they cope with a loved one in chronic pain

I have cervical stenosis in my neck! I also have a sensatized nervous system and severe anxiety! So my neck hurts so bad and its a weird kinda hurt! I only got this pain in my neck in the last year when i got anxiety! and i have had stenosis for alot of years! So i know its caused from anxiety! but would it help if i went to physical therapy?

Does this work for arthritis?
