Recovery Story: Facing Fear & Overcoming 25 Different Symptoms 

This story is identical to my story. Thanks Jim for this recovery story, it gives me hope. I have long covid for 2 years.

I think these stories are so important for so many reasons and it shows how the mind/body connection can influence such a vast array of symptoms! So brave for this young lady to share her story! Very powerful! Thank you!

It’s the third time over the course of my life I experience this condition. This time it’s LC ( the virus was the cherry on the cake). All of the times it was triggered by extreme (health) anxiety. I really wonder why it hasn’t been taken into serious account by the health care system and treat it gracefully as a mental health condition by applying mind body or other similar interventions… Great interview and so relatable ❤

Superbly informative and inspirational recovery story thank you both 👏👏

You’re story and symptoms are so much like mine. I also catastrophize all symptoms because I have health anxiety due to a childhood medical trauma. But instead of long haul Covid, I’m going through benzodiazapine withdrawal/tapering. I, too, am unable to walk due to fears and lack of safety issues. I actually thought I was dying while walking in an area where I couldn’t see my house from. I can walk as long as I can see my house, but not more than that. I also have POTS and about 20 other health issues. I’m often practically bed ridden and housebound. I actually think I’m now agoraphobic due to the terror of C@v!d. Jim, I’m wondering if you have helped anyone who is tapering off benzos?

How do I get in contact with Belle ?😊

I think TMS is simply anxiety expressing itself physically through the body. This story is very helpful to me, have had every symptom she mentioned and more. Amazing what the brain can do. Excellent video, thank you!

Just Wow! So glad I found this video today.... The BEST recovery interview I've seen and I've watched a good few! This could be me... Struggling for too many years to count but really in a bad place at the moment... I cried listening to this. Have just bought the audio version of the book DARE that was mentioned. Going to listen now. I will also be keeping this video to watch over and over... Big Big Thank you to both of you for making this! 🙏💞

Absolutely LOVE this ❤ I overcame a 7 year anxiety disorder by using the techniques from books such as DARE and At Last A Life by Paul David. I lived a life free from anxiety for 6 years before getting Covid, which has ended up with me having Long Covid for over 2 years now. Your symptoms were almost exactly the same as the ones I have. I'm currently 4 weeks away from giving birth and my pregnancy has been rough to say the least, but when my baby is born, I will be embarking upon my commitment to my recovery journey. Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring story ❤

That was AWESOME!! Determination! I've always been a determined person but I've lost it someplace in the midst of 20 years of struggling. Thank you Belle for helping me find it again!! I want my life back!! I'll borrow it from you for awhile 😉. Here I go!!! ♥️😊

What a powerful story of persistence, patience and ultimately triumph! Belle, I would love to send a couple of my students your way. You have a lot to offer clients with your psychotherapy background and personal recovery story! And Jim, thanks for all the healing and hope you spread in the world!

A very strong powerful story…Jim your caring is a big. part of our recovery…thanks

ANOTHER great success story - bravo Jim 👏🏼 and Belle!! Belle- so pleased you’re going onto work in this field, You’ll be a fantastic ambassador 🙏🏼😊

Anger is higher up on the emotional scale than fear

Such a similar story & similar symptoms. Amaaazing, resilient woman! ❤❤ It’s so tricky to work around the medical symptom when you know about the mindbody connection. Good job working through that, my goodness. Great work Jim! Thank you both for this incredible success story.

Thank you for your experience. I relate very much with your story. Crazy stuff. I was reading TMS book by E. Sarno and the main focus is anger. But in my case I instinctly knew that fear was a bigger driver. And this conversation highlighted that. Anger is a better place to be than fear. I find anger a great motivator also. And source of good energy. It's not anger against the world, but anger towards getting better and doing the right things.

Hey Jim great to hear another success story . I just popped on today for a nosey but I’m still very well . Thank you 😍

I'm memorising the "fear is the mind killer" quote from dune, whenever I feel my symptoms kicking off I recite it to myself

What an amazing testimonial - thank you Belle for sharing your recovery story which is So inspiring.

This was a very powerful interview. I’m so happy that Belle has fully recovered and is able to be there again for her family. She’ll be able to teach her kids how to overcome fear, which is such an important lesson. I can really relate to her behavioural fear, especially leaving her comfort zone.

I can relate to her story. All my anxiety started with heart palpitations along with hpylori infection over five years ago. The infects cleared but unfortunately the heart palpitations never went away. They scare the life out of me. I’ve been cleared by multiple cardiologist. I’m now currently dealing with PPPD like symptoms. My vision and brain seem to not be on the same page. I feel off especially when I look from one thing to another. Such an awful feeling along with other symptoms like dry eyes and blurry vision. HELP!

Belle, thank you for doing this. It is helping all of us❤️

Great recovery story Belle. Did you go to a therapist to deal with the emotional side? Or did you just work with Jim? Just wondering how you resolved and understood and processed the emotions from the early trauma. Thank you if you can reply.

Great recovery story. I admire your strength, resiliance and determination. Fantastic work. Im currently on a very similar journey - 2 years in. Thanks Jim and Belle Would love to check out your website Belle if its ready 👍🏻

Dare also has an app it's brilliant for the mind, its helped me so much. Great success story❤

Is there any way to connect with Belle?

What was the name of the anxiety website that was mentioned?

@32:50 you talk about continueing, but when you have massive anxiety or a crash with insomnia, it's kinda hard to 'keep going', like what do you do in such moments?

Is it a must to lay in a dark room

Unbelief is the only problem anyone Ever had,Granted 🙏😇in the beginning was the word and the word was God and God is love... love Was manifested in the flesh and dwelt among us"Jesus"when they crucified him before he ascended he decended and took the keys to death and Hell and on the 3rd day he arose again and said here's the keys to death and Hell , love God and Love your fellow man on these 2 hang All The laws and prophets.. the 10 commandments,if you do these you won't break 1...but since you are not perfect here's My gift to you before I ascend to the Father.. IAM with you and in you All even until the end of the world... now I go to sit down at the right hand of the Father and IAM in you,where do you sit¿?at the right hand of the Father! All power in heaven and earth (Love)Was given to me and IAM in you!!!who has All power in Heaven and Earth¿?you... He was God manifest in the flesh!!Who Are you¿?God manifest in the flesh!!! God is Love and in us all...😇🙏💯

Was You paralyzed

What an incredible story. I really relate. Is there a way to find belle and see her professionally?

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your story!

Such a great recovery story ! Thank you for sharing!

You had mast cell activation. Very common with the jab and the disease. Brain starts to over react as well as mast cells. I am going through this now. Just starting my brain retraining

Thank you for sharing! I realized that there were a bunch of things I didn't want to be doing recently, and it was important for me to say no, and only do what I wanted to. I can't live my life for others any more. I just had an extinction burst after 2 weeks of facing EVERYTHING! But I'm here. Thank you! ❤

What an inspiring interview! It really connects so many dots that are crucial for Mind-Body conditions. The anxiety and underlying emotions, trauma, coping mechanisms, and how to overcome it. Many thanks!!

Powerful! Thank you Jim and Belle ❤really needed to hear this today. Both of you bless the world by sharing this. So happy for you Belle 💫🌈Peggy

Any Tmj/ facial pain people here? Would love to know how to move forward with TMS.

what a fabulous success story - may i ask if you have worked with anyone with vax injury ? i have severe neuropathy post booster and have been trying to heal it for 16months now

Well done Belle, so impressive ! How long did the dpr last for can I ask.? Ive had it for a few years now, but its not a huge problem 😊

I had a medical trauma at 13. Brain tumour and then got an eating disorder. Mirror symptoms. Didn’t process the trauma. Same manifestation. Am I able to contact you directly? Then I had CFS. Your determination is fantastic. Thank you. Rachael , Northampton. UK.

Is TMS related to/the same as somatic symptom disorder?

So you're saying POTS is a manifestation of anxiety???

NICE VIDEO!!!PLEASE IF YOU CAN UPLOAD BETTER QUALITY VIDEOS :)

What exactly do you mean that your main approach was your mindset?

Congratulations ❤so inspiring ty me too i want to be in a succes story i am on my way... 🚶‍♀️I never ever give up 😁enjoy your life sweetheart ❤️😘💪🦸‍♀️

This gave me so much hope! Similar story here

I know the terms but can you please explain extinction burst. I don’t trust looking stuff up on the internet anymore because of too many scammers

This was so good! So much information!

Can you send a link for the Dare book? Thx

How did you dealt with the PEM when you were resuming activities? I am able to do the more however I struggle with the PEM. What to do about that?

Wow!! Such a great success story. I am really struggling with this. I think I have had TMS symptoms since I was a child. I have suffered with anorexia, depression, health anxiety and now chronic widespread pain and panic disorder. I have been in therapy all my life and nothing really helped. I can relate to her story a lot. I can't afford any TMS coach. I did do the curable group boot camp last year but I still am stuck. The fear is so bad.

Great testimony x

Belle are you to be found somewhere on the internet?
