How To Calm Down Your Nervous System

3 жыл бұрын

What people often don't realize is that chronic pain is an issue with the brain and nervous system being in danger/alert mode all the time. That makes it really important to teach the brain to settle down. Here's my take on it all.
--------------------
Want more information about pain, how it starts, how it becomes chronic? Watch the video at PainFreeYou.com.
Want to know if what I'm teaching applies to you? Download the self assessment at the above site and find out for sure.
Or take the pain test at: DanBuglio.com/paintest
Any score over a 30 can be eliminated with the approach I teach in my daily videos.

The language of thought can be altered too, the body and the nervous system seems to respond with a stress response to "this is hell" "I'm terrified" "worst thing ever". I trained myself to "Not dangerous, go on". Works for me.

Yes, language matters SO much. It's all about the stories we tell ourselves.

I naturally find myself saying ‘come on then’ when I have a fearful thought. It’s sort of a ‘come at me bro’ statement but less aggressive and almost welcoming.

Yes, the breathing when you are about to drift off to sleep (when you’re able to catch that moment from time to time) is madly magical. Sometimes my nervous system initiates this breathing type when I am awake but very relaxed. I notice it and I feel happiness and even more relaxation.

60 years of emotional and physical distress. Starting with childhood trauma, and ending with RA, long story short. This brain is amazing!! When I got the will to do this TMS work and strarted to properly feel, I was shown the way. This mind body work has calmed my nervous system. I had no idea un safe, was my instictual problem trying to be solved. It's freeing when you finally get the understanding. I am safe, I am well.

I cannot talk much about pain ( although I do have migraines and tension headaches) because it is not the symptom that bothers me the most but I can talk about anxiety what many consider to be TMS as well. I was house bond agoraphobic and with help of dr.Claire Weekes book, I am now much, much better. She taught: utter, utter acceptance of symptoms (after getting knowledge of anxiety and what it can cause in the body), going limp as much as we can (she used the metaphore of violine string: If it's tighten, it will produce a sound. If it's loose, it will not. Same as or nerves.) and letting time pass (living out lives as best as we can and giving time to our nervous system to calm down). She also taught how can we recognize the thoughts that are productive and can lead to physical sensations. She said they begin with: Oh, my goodness! and What if...? So, you can see how this approach is similar, one can say - the same as we teach in TMS. It's because the origin of the problem is the same, it comes from our brain who is, for some reason, ramped up or as dr.Weekes said: sensitized, so it's sees danger where there is no one. My biggest problem is still dizziness and I know that it will be as long as I fear it, wanting it to go away, being angry because it is still here... Basically, I am always "scanning" for it, focusing on it. It's getting better with all the knowledge I have and all the experience. Stress amplifies it. I know that without utter acceptance or as you say: indifference, I can not expect it to just go away. I hope that day will come.

Daniella _ Claire Weekes practically cured me of severe anxiety 10 years ago through her book Complete Self Help for your Nerves, I read it over and over for two years straight. I still have the book but doesn’t get pulled out these days. She was a doctor well ahead of her time that’s for sure and a lot of her teachings are so similar to TMS recovery. Especially Acceptance.

Trying to read through all the comments here, but seems like it’s not working. I have done what the example was in this video many times. I just get annoyed and say whatever and I start doing stuff, and that does work temporarily, but then it “wears off”. I hurt my foot a few days ago and triggered a lot of pain. I didn’t freak out, but the next day when I rolled on the foot that wasn’t really bothering me, a big zing of nerve pain went up my whole right side and now my whole nervous system has been nuts for three days. My digestive system is even messed up and buzzing and my stools are weird. I have pain everywhere and the only thing that calms it is to sit and do nothing for hours. I have stuff to do! As soon as I try to say whatever and do something minor, everything gets ramped up even more.

I understand what you mean when you say "indifference", "not freaking out" or not dwelling on the symptoms. I had tendinitis on my wrist 2 years ago and since then the pain never went away not completely at least, based on my results form your test i want to start really deeply and honestly not freakin out about the pain, but I have the issue that since I lost my job I really dont have medical ensurance anymore and coldnt really go to the docs to check this pain out since the first time I got it, and due to my anxiety I always have that mental chatter of "yeah but what if is really something wrong, you cant know, yo cant check with the doctors anymore". I know that leting go of that particular fear would be a great start for my recovery. Any thoughs? And also, thanks a lot for youre videos and free educative content you make about this topics.

@PainFreeYou 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your kind words. The general rule of thumb is to rule out anything catastrophic. Wrist pain is not lethal. Ruling IN this thing called TMS / Mindbody pain is the next step. Your result of 41 out of 50 is absolute proof that it's not a body problem. Your pain behaves like pain created in the brain. You can move forward confidently that you are on the right track. You have nothing to lose other than the pain itself. There is no downside to adopting my suggestions in this and my other videos.

We have SEVERAL Trigeminal Neuralgia success stories. Scroll through the success archive and you will see them. PainFreeYouSuccess.com One of my clients also sent me this written success story. Enjoy. You ARE in the right place. ~My story began 6 years ago, I was 51 and going through probably what I'd say was the most stressful time of my entire life., working a very stressful job as well as extreme stress in my personal life. I was on a hamster wheel of stress that I couldn't get off of., I awoke one morning with a numb cheek feeling & a tingling type numbness in my teeth. ( the symptoms were only just getting started for what I was about to go through., the list includes extreme off the charts left side facial pain, burning facial skin, pain in my teeth and severe inner ear pain as well as a sensitivity to cold weather on my face which would cause my face to look & feel as though it were badly sunburned & very painful. I was diagnosed with the medical term Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia. Medication did nothing to alleviate my pain & no specialist could help me., there was no cure. I refused to accept this diagnosis as a life sentence so I started searching the web which eventually took me to Dan's " Pain Free You fb page. I started watching his videos and received some personal coaching. My healing didn't happen over night and I admit I went back & forth in my believe as to whether this was TMS and that something so simple was going to cure my very rare condition known as TN. With nothing to lose and no other options as I was refusing the suggested brain surgery, I accepted that it was TMS and I committed 100% to Dan's approach to becoming pain free., #1 step for me was dropping the fear & focus on the pain. It's been 4 years now of living happily.. my pain free life! The biggest lesson learned I'd have to say was learning a new approach to dealing with life's stresses, listening to my body before it has to scream for my attention. Always & Forever grateful to Dan Buglio.

Take the assessments here. If it indicates TMS/Mindbody - then yes it will work for you. Take the assessments separately for each main symptom. IsThisPDP.com

I am losing hope to maintain a calm nervous system because I get stressed out by work a lot. There’s always drama at work. How do I not let it trigger my symptoms? Sometimes I feel like I am still symptomatic even though I am indifferent to my symptoms because I am still so stressed and anxious all the time.

Watch this video again and begin to implement. The belief that stress MUST create symptoms is false. You can teach your brain through these methods NOT to turn on symptoms when stressed.

Hi, I just discovered your channel and am laying in bed 2am here in Australia and the pain through my right arm, shoulder, back etc...is that severe, right arm especially that I feel like I'm full of cancer, I'm very scared. I have panic disorder, Agoraphobia and PTSD. How do I do push through such severe pain to retrain my brain? My daughter only has me so I have to get through this.. if anyone could please advise me id eternally appreciate it.

Rule out cancer so you can put that fear out of your head. Once you have ruled out life threatening issues, then rule IN the mindbody cause of pain. A good place to learn more and begin is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start

@@PainFreeYou Thank you so much Dan ❤️ I have been listening to your videos and it's calmed me a bit and taught me a lot, many lightbulb moments about what I've tolerated in my life that I shouldn't of with family, so much abuse so now my nervous system is shot and I'm getting these pain signals. I always said you can't have the emotional without the physical. On behalf of myself and everyone thank you for your work. I wish we could talk in person, I could really do with a long chat to you but hey a girls allowed to have dreams. Bless you 🙏 again...thank you!

Have you had anxiety Dan ? I can’t move on. 😥😥

@PainFreeYou Жыл бұрын

It's not the anxiety that's the problem. It's the thinking that you cannot move on with anxiety that is the challenge. I have had anxiety, but not as bad as some. The book DARE by Barry McDonagh can help. I like the audio book from Audible.com.

Can you calm down nervous system when you have tinnitus and vertigo from a head injury from 15 years ago?

@PainFreeYou 11 ай бұрын

It is very possible that the head injury healed. However, symptoms are often learned and become chronic through fear and attention. With a focus on teaching the brain the body has healed and that we are now safe, symptoms can go away.

A state of high alert is very often developed by our life experiences. We can teach our brain that we are safe to get out of that state of vigilance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7mjftFyzKfano0.html

what do you say, Dan, about the fact that we DO seem to be in danger? 2 THOUSAND years ago, it was written in the Bible to 'be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary, the devil, roams like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour'.... honestly, i would be an atheist by now if i didn't need and love Jesus so much lol great vid tho xoxox

@PainFreeYou 3 жыл бұрын

I can say that we can still be cautious of legitimate danger. But we do NOT need physical symptoms to do that. Teach your brain that your body is capable, that it's okay to feel emotions, that you don't have to take your scary thinking so seriously. Safety in body, thoughts, emotions will turn off TMS. Walking through a dark street in a dangerous city at night? Be vigilant. But your body doesn't need to hurt.
