I get frustrated with the morning anxiety I experience because it makes the start of each day very difficult. This really helped! It’s hard when you are in the moment to realize you are doing yourself a disservice with your reaction. I pretend to be happy and optimistic when I first wake up, but when that doesn’t work I very quickly become defeated and frustrated. I guess I am trying to make it go away instead of just letting it be and making sure I am feeling safe. Thank you.

Morning Anxiety... I get that.. How's the pain going to be? How am I going to manage? etc Then of course it can worsen.. I personally find doing breathing exercises as soon as I wake helps a little. Doesn't sort everything.. But makes a little difference..

More of these, please! So many channels give this advice but never give such direct and simple directions. You are a legend sir!

Amazing practice!! I've been hugely stuck in my fight response for a long time, I often work on resetting my nervous system overall, but I have never focused on this specific aspect. I found I could feel the fight response as tightness in my chest, breathing into that space dialled it down noticeably. Thanks Tanner!!

You are helping me so much. You have a way of explaining so clearly. I've found a therapist here in the states to help me with Pain Reprocessing Therapy -- I have been on that pain-train for 9 years. I've found your approach - and these videos -- to be invaluable. Too many videos are light on info and heavy on segues. A DEEP BOW OF GRATITUDE TO YOU.

I really enjoy this video. I did the meditation twice and interestingly, both times I had a big release of sadness. I don't know why it comes up in the context of this meditation, but it feels very relieving. Thank you 😊

As always, this video is so helpful. Not trying to beat ourselves up because of the pain but allow it as it used to protect us when we needed to survive. Being patient with the pain is hard but your somatic practice is extremely helpful. Thank you

@@painpsychotherapyI was doing very well but last week, I tested doing my old habits, I started pushing and rushing the things I do, had chest pain and short breath come back, but funny thing is I did the same activity but in a rush way and pushing way, when I do it in a pacing way and relaxed way I don’t get the same intensity

This is something I struggle with, I don't fear my symptoms any longer but still get frustrated sometimes if symptoms flare up but then what to do about the frustration? It feels like a natural and understandable response. On the one hand we are not supposed to be frustrated about the symptoms bc it is fighting but on the other hand we are not supposed to suppress our emotions? not letting the frustrations out and pretending not to be frustrated just feels like pushing this anger down and does not seem to be helpful for me, at the same time I feel bad about feeling frustrated and angry as it is the "wrong way" to go.

I can really relate to this

@painpsychotherapy

Ай бұрын

Yes, there is often confusion around this! It is so natural and normal to have frustration, fear, or sadness about our symptoms and often this needs to be processed. Overtime we just want to also work towards responding with ease and curiosity to our symptoms. Both are vital!

❤ Can you please clarify… I’m having trouble delineating between accepting symptoms and continuing with activities versus pushing through the symptoms - which could potentially be fighting them. As an example, I go for a daily walk, as I walk up the hill I feel fatigue and pain and keep going. Mostly I’m in a matter of fact mindset but sometimes I’m in a “this is a struggle, I just have to keep going” mindset. Would this be pushing through/fighting? Example 2: for the last couple of years I have been going to dancing classes. Lot of the time there is pain, fatigue and dizziness. I just kind of ignore the symptoms and keep going. When I evaluate I would say I’ve been doing more activities but I don’t think my baseline symptoms have shifted. I would say that I have the same level of pain, dizziness and fatigue during walking, dancing and other activities. So, I’m thinking my approach might be wrong. I potentially have time to do somatic practices while I’m walking because I’m on my own. I often practice pendulation or somatic tracking. I’ve been doing the pendulation for at least a year. I don’t expect immediate results but looking back I’m thinking that if there’s been no improvement over that time that I’m missing something or my approach is not right. I think I just tried to do as much as I can and be as “normal“ as I can - so most of the time I’m tolerating, ignoring or putting up with the symptoms. I’m not sure what the ride approach is for day-to-day symptoms. I have background symptoms all the time of tinnitus, fatigue, heaviness and pain. Others, like brain fog and dizziness, come and go. I’d say I get those symptoms as often now as I did 3 to 5 years ago. With dancing the pace is set by what the teacher is demonstrating, the pace of the music and my dance partner. I don’t get opportunities to practice any sort of somatic tracking. Maybe it’s not helpful for me. Maybe it’s pushing/forcing/fighting? What do you think?

Good question. IT can be tricky to figure out. We definitely don't want to push through high pain or symptoms, and at this point avoidance can be helpful. I unfortunately can't comment on what would work for your case over social media, as I don't know your case fully. You can check out my podcast on conditioned responses: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pauus6WYqdKwm6g.html

So sorry to hear about your symptoms. Tinnitus and visual snow can possibly be neuroplastic. Of course it is important to have physical causes ruled out by a physician. I hope my content can be helpful.
