Where is the Fear Coming From? 

Make Peace with your symptoms. The fight with symptoms turns up the volume. Stop hating them. There’s nothing broken…just the constant fight keeps it fueled. Make Peace!

I think when the fear of staying the same becomes greater then the fear of change, we can finally change ❤

If only doctors can tell us this in the ER! Thank you Dan I haven’t been back to the hospital in 6 months because of your videos ! 💛

Last year, I left a comment on one of your videos, and you kindly created a video about recovery from fear. I've been consistently watching your daily videos ever since, even though I've fully recovered from my fear and subsequent symptoms. I'd like to add that we don't need to identify the source of our fear. The desire to understand the root cause is often driven by fear itself and a false sense of control. As you've wisely said many times, it's more effective to focus on safety messages. I realized that I had conditioned myself to be fearful by constantly believing and ruminating on every fearful thought that came to mind. But I made a conscious decision to break that pattern and no longer perpetuate it. To anyone reading this, know that you too can overcome your fears. Believe in yourself, stay consistent, and keep watching Dan’s videos- you got this!

Another amazing video, with so many messages of Safety. Fear does not help anything. Thanks Dan and all here. 💕💞♥💕💞

The media, the stories in my head, the isolation, the past, fear of the future, feelings of helplessness, thoughts.

I feel like the fear in my life isn’t about the symptoms, but maybe I’m unaware of those fears. I feel like it’s a lifetime of suppressed fear (and other emotions) that I’m working on releasing every day. I’ve been terrified my whole life and I believe that’s why I ended up with these chronic issues. I’m establishing safety within myself for the first time this last year or so since I found your channel. When I’m releasing fear from my body it feels like very old fear that had been stuck for ages…not fear of symptoms. Either way, I thank you for your dedication to helping us recover from fear, Dan! You are so appreciated and loved!!

Hey Dan! I don’t know where it would be best to tell you this but I just wanna give you a huge THANK YOU! I am beyond grateful for having found your videos and after one and a half years of suffering from severe reflux, digestive issues and anxiety, of having to run from one doctors appointment to the other, spending endless amounts of money and no results at all, YOU SAVED ME. My issues all resolved within around 2 weeks of watching your videos and understanding that what i had was just PDP after all. My life was miserable - i wasn’t able to eat anything but very specific foods, no alcohol, overactive nervous system, anxiety attacks, shaking etc. I can’t believe that I found your videos (FOR FREE) after all. They healed me. Your mindset healed me. I can live my life again. I am 22 years old and I haven’t been able to live my life at all in the past year. Now I am happy and healthy. SO GRATEFUL. THANK YOU DAN!!! 🩷🩷🩷 UPDATE: Because of PDP I haven’t had my period in nearly a year. I just got it and I don’t think there is a better sign that I‘m fully healthy now. !!! Thank you :)

You are the reason i have started to feel better. Thank you million times!

For those who are generally healthy, self soothing is the way to go. Just a reminder, though, that there are millions of people who suffer from medical malpractice, that malpractice can mean dismissing pain and the patient as a result of misdiagnosis, or medical myopathy. Wishing all the best!

Dan this message is absolutely brilliant. Explained so well. You conveyed so many messages of safety in this video. I pray that people listened with an open heart and received the truths that you spoke with so much wisdom and clarity. Your love for this community shines brightly. Sending everyone love ❤️ and blessings 🙌.

You are the placebo or the nocebo because, "As a man thinks, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7) That's why Jesus said, "Fear not, only believe" (or some variation of) 92 times in the KJV.

Out walking and health anxiety hitting. The overthinking etc. I did ask myself what are you fearful of? The reply was , collapsing or something! I was near to tears but carried on walking. An hour later I'm still alive 🙄🤔😂. Enjoy your course. Thanks 🙏

Love love love that you mentioned familial systems & how having hyper-aware family members contributes to being hyper aware individuals today

I just figured out that I'm trying to accommodate my pain. I'm a fitness instructor and personal trainer with chronic leg pain for 2 years. I'm trying to adapt my classes so I can get through them. The fear is definitely taking over. Your videos are great!!

Thank God I have discovered your channel. It was wat I needed. Ur videos are going to be central to my recovery as it’s wat I was Looking for 💕 🙏

Another video I watched on mind body talked about calling the things you are feeling sensations instead of symptoms. Since symptoms are associated with having a disorder/disease it creates less fear if you look at these feelings as just sensations created by the brain. Has helped me look at the sensations differently and less scary.

They say the opposite of fear is love ❤ So as well as daily messages of safety - I try to practice wrapping myself in all the lovely energies and facets that fall under the spectrum of a kaleidoscope of love.. 🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💖 Its hard for the brain to operate in two opposing emotions simultaneously. The more I practice this - the more I hope to tip the balance so 'fear' has no place to reside in me... ❤

Loving the comments on this video. So happy to see how many people you’ve helped (including myself) and future people you will help. Loving the consistency of videos and even tho I’m not online as often, I will always come back and try to comment and like for the algorithm I want you to have sooo many subscribers to the message can get across to many people who need the hear these messages of safety and can too be pain free ❤❤

Most IBS is a result of anxiety because of the brain-gut axis which is why when you have an IBS flareup it triggers anxiety... the anxiety triggers more IBS... which triggers more fear... etc etc... and you get stuck in this vicious cycle until either your mind or your gut calms down and breaks the cycle. The majority of people who have IBS also have some kind of anxiety disorder or mood disorder. Huge correlation between brain-gut when it comes to IBS. That's also why some days you can eat a certain food and be fine and the next day eat the same food and be on the toilet all day long. Or why you can't find which foods are your triggers and so it feels like anything with food in it triggers your IBS because in most cases it's not the food, it's your thoughts - how you perceive any little twinge of a symptom that happens anywhere between your throat and your booty hole.

Definitely my source of fear: symptoms that allow doubt even though its not logic. I caved & went to a neurologist last week. He was weird as hell. After an hour his guess: you may have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. I know what i have. Until i can gain power over symptoms ill stay in limbo. Assessments put me solid in PDP

The bad days are hard.

Needed to have this reminder today....love the volume analogy. This video is so clear & reassuring. Love you Dan...love to all. Wish you all peace of mind.💗

Was just thinking.. once you know what makes you really fearful in this process, it doesn’t really matter what the doctors told you in the past, what you Googled, even what your past history and trauma - story was. You know NOW what’s really happening with your brain and body so you can consciously choose to stop 1) stop talking too much about symptoms to not well- informed doctors 2) stop googling ourselves every new sensation light or severe. 3) stop reading articles on health related issues Basically stop the doom and gloom and stick with this path no matter how hard, long or discouraging it is at times. Especially people like me with childhood adversity are people who already started life with less nervous system regulation and all the stressful situations / events are tipping us more easily out of balance. The result is kind of learned fear just as the learned chronic stuff. My hubby said it lately to me: in fact you have to re- invent yourself, unlearn lots of harmful stuff and beliefs and in my case it feels installing real safety for the first time in my system. That doesn’t happen overnight, but I’m so excited to go to that place of inner peace finally. I know it will be serving me for the rest of my life. Just my 💡 idea on it, not THE truth 😄. Hope you have a wonderful learning opportunity at your weekend - workshop Dan! Have a lovely peaceful Sunday friends ❤

Love you too, Dan! 🙏❤️

I have tremendous fear, I feel symptoms will never leave

Very insightful. Thank you for sharing.

Really a good video Dan thank you

I loved this talk! Thank you!❤

Thank You, Coach, Wish you Good Health. ❤

Thanks again Dan remember to look after yourself also ❤

Love this one! Thanks Dan!

Some would rather live unhappy than die happy, and the world often seems to suggest this choice. I'm noticing now that my refusal to be afraid hasnt killed me yet. hahahaha

It's coming From Moving Cross Country.....BUT..Its Also Super Exciting..👍🏼

All from the past ptsd ...decades of it. I

True. Thnku Its survival fight or flight Activated Charcoal is good for chronic diareah. But it’s all stress .

❤ ty

Any advice when the symptoms come from trauma? I get triggered hard when someone disagrees with me, attacks me or insults me, even when others would brush it off. Is the answer exposure? I'm not longer afraid of my symptoms and they are mostly gone but this is still a big problem for me.

A huge Flare and that on my birthday 🎂 🥳 but respond well. My doctor only said way to much stress i said yes and now what? She prescribed oxycodon gapabentin and morphine....😮and live with it 😮 i keep on going on this road of recovery 🚶‍♀️. Ty Dan ❤️ 😊 🙏

Hi Dan... I've been watching for almost 3 yrs..love your insight on tms. I don't comment much cause I know you're so busy...but could I ask you about a grinding sensation in my lower back. Several years ago I had same thing in my cervical neck. Pt told me it was crepitus. I'm almost 72 & make myself do almost everything in pain. Today I mowed the lawn & did 4 loads of laundry. I can't join a group...only have soc sec...not much...can't do much on the computer I have. Thank you Dan

But sometimes fear is justified. If you fall and get broken and have a traumatic time with recovery, you are going to be anxious about a repeat performance. This is perceived danger of something real that happened. This is very hard to overcome. It's no good saying to yourself that it won't happen. It has happened, and it wasn't good!

I’m so grateful for these videos Dan but What to do if the fear is from life circumstances? I’m noticing a huge uptake in my migraines lately due to feeling unsafe and scared of possible separation and homelessness and constant worry about my autistic sons future. I’m struggling to feel safe and my symptoms just get worse 😔

Alright just the faces, alone, that you make in the beginning of this video, start tamping down my migraine.

From industrial upheaval.

❤

I had a e n t. Dr Say I will be in psin forever scared me so bad

Dan. What if the fear is a real life event like a divorce?

I'm sure you've heard this before but what do you think about your symptoms are coming from leaky gut which are damaging your mitochondria and that's why you're so ill I'm sure people of all heard this in the functional medicine field and if that's true how do you really know if it's really just fear over reactive fight or flight or if it's legitimate

Sorry Susie and Diane my comments keep disappearing.. I will try again later ❤

I have brain fog and low energy. I’m told it could be because I have sleep apnea. Do you think this method helps with this sort of thing? Is my brain fog turn off like pain can be?

No , you can’t do stuff 💥🥊 wait till I see you in public

Giving people all the knowledge in the world without the skills that make sense of it was a mistake. It’s like handing a loaded gun to a baby
