I signed up for the course and downloaded the app, looking forward to seeing the content. I've paid way more for supplements and physical therapy over the years, and your advice seems accurate in all your videos I've seen so far-- hope to hear from you on the app and see what the program has in store soon.
The root cause often IS worry & fear. My approach is to to do both. Regulate the nervous system first, address the root stressors if there are tangible ones AND work with the body. It’s not an either or approach, as long as the focus is regulating the nervous system & bringing the body back into homeostasis.
My problem is not so much night-time urinary urgency and frequency as urethral burning, penile pain, perineal pain and severe anorectal ache coming on minutes after I have had my last void before hitting the sack. This often goes on for hours and won't let me drop off even as I can't keep my eyes open. It's almost as if the brain intuits it's time to go to sleep and gets a kick out of ruining it. Simply putting a fancy label on this bizarre phenomenon -- 'predictive coding' or 'conditioned reflex' -- does precious little to alleviate the suffering. It's a curse, a sick joke of an invisible monster.
One thing that helps me is rectal valium/diazepam. Of course it isn't a cure, but my urologist recommends it's use only at night and only used as a suppository to relax the pelvic muscles. Ultimately, it is only a bandaid and the root cause of the tension needs to be found, but as some TMS coaches I've listened to have said. It's hard to teach the body not to fear when you are at the height of symptoms constantly. I would sit down with your urologist and ask about this. Most insurance won't cover the suppository, but you can use a tablet with some lube instead. It's worth having this option if you are struggling like I do sometimes.
@@dr.amitabhamukherjee3601 Also man, I would highly suggest going to a counselor and getting on some anxiety/depression medication. This is a multifaceted approach for many people. Some don't take medication. I feel I need its assistance with the other mindfulness practices. I'm not suggesting to be doped up on medications but using them smartly in tandem with other modalities can help. And they aren't cures, just something to assist your mindset and help with the constant fear and panic. Begin exploring yourself emotionally as well in counseling. This is important. I'm right in the fight with you man.
It's not that bizarre at the end of the day, just frustrating to figure out logically. When you address posture, gut health & regulate the stress response, everything drastically improves. The healing work is experienced in the body & not in the mind. You can understand everything logically & make little to no progress because you're not embodying the lessons & the nervous system is still tweaking. Less mind, more heart & body.
Terrible idea. The pelvic floor unconsciously clenches when we’re stressed, along with our jaw. You want to relieve the tension on those muscles because they get inflamed & can get knotted up. You need strong hip flexors, glutes, core & everywhere else. It’s not that hard to hold a kegel & not something you need strengthen
@@fitalfa Thank you, i have now completely stopped the clenching exercises as it was making things worse like you advised. When doing your exercises or any exercise, do you recommend pushing instead of clenching the pelvic floor muscles, like when doing a number2? Or do you recommend just completely relaxing the pelvic floor, and only engaging the necessary muscles such as abd, glutes etc? Thanks a lot for your help, am currently watching your other videos...
I think Its best to relax the pelvic floor as much as possible, even during all exercise including lifting. Just lighten the load if you have to tense.
Similar tips for that & looking into your daily postural patterns in sitting etc. I’ve made videos on those as well & have more resources in the description 💪🏻
