According to Dr Stephen Porges polyvagal theory we have to come out of dorsal vagal freeze where we experience chronic physical symptoms, up the ladder into sympathetic fight flight where we feel activated before we can reach parasympathetic ventral vagal rest and digest where healing happens so that may explain the increase in anxiety. I also love the DARE response which is similar to somatic tracking over the stop brain rewiring technique’s

I got an aha moment! Flare-ups/crashes are not a bad thing 🤯 To be at peace with them and use it for retraining... Needing them for retraining.. Wow. Ok this has finally clicked. Especially hard to do during PMS!! But here it goes! Thank you!!

What an incredible aha moment, Stacey 🧡 🧡 You've got this!!!

Great interview, I have had the same experience with the method he described and the stop techniques not working. It took me 3 years of struggling with not much progress until my last year when I stopped being scared of the symptoms. Now I am well again.

Helmut is great. I was on a Living DNRS class with him. I do his method now and then to elevate mood, all I need to do is watch his videos. I learn from his experience and I laugh like crazy and deep enough that my stomach muscles get a good work out, all in one. No need for laughter yoga!

‘The setbacks and the shitshows inbetween’ love it!

The way he describes DNRS is my experience too, it strengthens resistance when you are constantly saying stop stop stop and trying to get rid of thoughts or symptoms.

Such a great point, vlox! Glad you found a way around this! 🧡 🧡

It’s good to hear from this guest. Yes! Many forums boot out anyone speaking about brain retraining. DNRS was very helpful but yes it’s not always the end all and can create it’s own anxiety response he is calling OCD… I call a trigger of demand resistance. I truly had to come and do acceptance and surrender and get to a peaceful place with the Gupta Program meditations to be able to then go back to the DNR us and then do some more intensive body tension release. Each person’s recipe is a little bit different and so it’s really frustrating. If one program doesn’t want you to try other programs as well because that too, then feels like a control mechanism that increases anxiety.. Good interview. Lots of resources out there now and each one is a tool. Sometimes one program is someone’s complete answer but so often it’s a combination of different things.. Love this ❤❤❤. Still on the journey it’s been a long journey, but that’s OK

could you expand on what you mean by trigger of demand resistance?

Cognitive symptoms are the worst!! I’m getting better physically, but man the light and sound sensitivity, information processing from convos or reading, and the resulting headaches, etc. It’s tough! I got diagnosed with ADHD too and it has helped me understand how to do better with life in general and anxiety. Cool to hear about the Dare app! I used to do something that scared me every week a few years before this became serious. Definitely doing that again soon! Thanks for sharing.

At the beginning of the video, he says that as the physical symptoms went away, he had OCD thoughts/ anxiety. He didn't explain how he got better? What did he do to overcome cognitive symptoms?

@sheridanbeverley9173

16 күн бұрын

The allow and engage approach which he learnt from The DARE Response + doing his daily visualisations + doing his daily mood elevation (e.g. dancing in his room to 70s music). He talks about what he did in detail on his youtube channel. Regarding allow & engage, allow is allowing the sensations and/or thoughts to be there and then once you've been present with allowing for a little bit, then you engage in something you want to do whilst allowing the sensations and/or thoughts to come along with you if they want to.

Ahhh if we r gonna compare I don’t think I’d say cognitive symptoms r worse, blazing squeezing face pain and shoulder pain that fluctuate with weather changes r def the worst thing to experience worse than the most fiery anxiety that keeps me up all night and makes me scared of people. I’ll take anxiety over pain. Anxiety is kind of interesting and can work with it

He mentioned his car - can one drive a car with severe ME/CFS?

@elaineniesink3187

I think he drove when he had made progress in his recovery journey. It depends on how severe a person is, some are in a dark room 24/7. But other can have days where they manage short drives.

From his name I guessed he is German😅
