Symptoms Are A Very Unreliable Indicator... 

When I get engaged in creative stuff such as painting, drawing, knitting or crocheting my brain starts to realise there is no danger. So these are my favourite activities

Woke up this morning. Took a cup of coffee to the back deck and watched the morning unfold with hubs. Wonderful. I didn't even think about TMS for several hours. That's progress.

Took a friend out to a peaceful ruined ancient Abbey in the heart of northern England in a beautiful wooded valley. We spent the day sitting, relaxing, enjoying the peace, eating picnic and chatting now and then. She has had severe back pain from a genital condition for many years. On the way home she commented on the traffic coming back into the busy town and how she had felt relaxed and eased-of pain whilst we were in the old Abbey grounds and that she could then markedly feel a tension once again returning in her body as we approached home.

How lucky are we to know that symptoms are not an indicator of us being terminal sick or incurable ! Thanks for reminding us all the time Dan! That was my biggest message of safety that I got from you! Enjoy a happy Sunday Dan and everyone ❤

The Lake agrees with you Dan, you look good. Had lunch with a friend and when I got home relaxed with a good book and felt so safe and content. Thanks Dan for another important reminder. 🥰

Hi Dan you are looking so good that lake does ypu good. Ty for another reminder it is all tms 😊 nice and sunny here 😁 sitting nice on my balcony getting a tan 😁 sending you much love and to all of you here on RU-vid ❤❤❤❤

Thank you, Dan, just what I needed to hear today! Getting more and more aware of my thoughts, I feel the fear rising when I'm doing "too much". The best thing then is to react with self-love, to appreciate that it's like this. There's no need to change it immediately, just relax, beeing with the fear and surrender to the process❤! I think it's the same why it is not enough telling a child" oh, don't be ridiculous, there is no Monster under your bed", this won't take away the childs fear. And just telling myself that I'm safe without treating me with compassion and taking myself seriously, I just pass over myself- like the mother of the child from the example above... Again.. thank you for giving me this room to grow and heal!

Love & gratitude for another simple pointer to truth. Peaceful blessings to all.Xxx❣

I have low iron and iron stores and I work really hard to not to exacerbate symptoms. I have really great control over my body and can get myself out of vertigo and high heart rate quickly What’s tough is, the day to day minor symptoms. The lightheadedness and muscle cramps. I have to be patient to restore my iron and stores and I find it difficult because I want to feel good NOW I’m currently watching Joe Dispenzas new series called Rewired and watching your content. It’s the damn black and white thinking that this will never end is what gets me. I can’t gain the perspective

Hi Dan, Thanks for the daily videos. In hearing you saying "please do the assessments" as you almost always do..... I was wondering if you had ever done a video on WHY some of us resist doing the assessments. Just a Sunday morning thought lol.

great video Dan Because of my constant knee pain I've ,over the last few years, developed a more bent over...protective posture and gait which of course makes me look older than my 76 years young! I'm now starting to reverse that as you did with your pronounced spine and posture issues thanks Dan

Love the shirt Dan!

Good Morning Dan ♥️

I’m having an interesting ‘problem’ . I have actually hurt my shoulder ( been a couple of weeks) . But because a lot of my pain has been TMS. I keep thinking , this is TMS. So instead of it being TMS and thinking what is this, I hate this ….. i have pain which deep down I know will heal and go away in a few weeks, but my brain keeps saying it’s TMS , do the TMs ‘ work’ and it will go. But it isn’t . So my fear needs to be turned down, I will heal shortly

Hey dan what do i do if got so many sxs going on unbearable ones all at once all the time cant relax at all if i do they get worse if i sit or lay akathisa from med wd what do i tell myself

Alright my brain perceives danger - now what? How do I make the brain perceive safety?

Hey dan what if my sxs is there all the time at a base line but gets worst when I'm stressed this TMS it's chronic two years now constant

How do you think about tendonopathy Dan? Sarno mentioned it in his books as a symptom of tms, but tms is (I think) more about muscle? I’m diagnosed with gluteal and quad tendonopathy: rest stretch and excercises to eliminate it. On the other side…I did the test on the website and score 41 out of 50. You’re videos are helping me a lot!

I think my brain may be trying to protect me from my husband who has been emotionally unsafe. I've had an anxious attachment style which makes things he does or doesn't do triggering. Symptoms can arise after being with him for a long time. I'm trying to work through it with counseling and retaining my brain (that he is not the problem). I can't avoid him.. Any advice?

Hi Dan...I have tms. & one of the symptoms I can't identify....I have been listening to your videos for 3 yrs. I tried to ask you about it( I can't find it on your channel) but you never answered me. I've only asked you 2 questions in 3 yrs. It's about a " knocking" sound in my lower back( I've had back pain/ sciatica for a long time) I think it's called crepitus. Can you tell me if it's a tms symptom? We have no doctors where I live that even know about tms! It's grinding crunching sound.

You’re such a cutie Dan! 😃 WTF where’s the fish

😂😂😂😂 love this joke. Wtf, thank you for a smile
