You know that fear is a driver behind your chronic dizziness symptoms. As we've discussed in many of my videos on this channel, your nervous system being in a state of "danger mode" is the primary reason why dizziness sticks around. But what do you do when you still feel very afraid of your symptoms? You know it's holding you back from recovery, but how do you work through it? This video explains the tools we use on this channel to deal with fear, and I give a specific 5 step process to try for working with fear.
This exercise can help you put in practice what I talk about in this video:

My fear is that I won't have a 'normal' life again and that I'll have to deal with these uncomfortable sensations forever. I do value having a 'normal/enjoyable' life as you said, and having these symptoms doesn't allow me to have that 'normal/enjoyable' life I want. I'll take your advice and sit with the fear itself rather than the story I tell myself.

I just backed out last minute..like 1 hour before..leaving for a big family vacation. I lost my plane ticket, didn’t go on the trip, all because of my constant dizziness. My family just thinks I have anxiety. Not being able to live a normal life around people who don’t understand is difficult. Yeah, I’m very afraid of my dizziness.

I hear you. There’s a lot to say here, way more than I can say in a YT comment. Short summary: 1) you are not alone 2) it is good to practice self care and you should not have to justify to anyone why you’re doing it and 3) fear toward your symptoms is something you can address effectively. I’ve seen many others do it. I promise it’s possible.

hello. thank you for this video! for me the fear behind the dizziness is that I will fall and loose consciousness. that is actually the biggest fear I have and it is very much triggered by this chronic dizziness. besides that, it gives me an woozy feeling like I cannot keep myself together, my thoughts, my emotions, my actions.
@TheSteadyCoach
@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
I totally understand that fear and of course it makes sense that you would have that. I wonder if you stop yourself from doing things before you have the dizzy feeling- "If I do this, it will make me dizzy, and then I will fall." That's something to think about.

Thank you for your ongoing videos. For the past year I have been dealing with DIZZINESS. During this time I have had two MRI’s of the brain, CT Scans of the Carotid arteries, abdomen and pelvis, MRI of the inner ear and posterior fossa and every possible blood test. Nuclear Stress and echocardiogram Tests. Eye Tests. They were all negative. I have seen every possible doctor, Primary Care, Neurologist, Cardiologist, 3 ENT’s, without any diagnosis as to my DIZZINESS. Dealing with this symptom is extremely difficult. However, I have been following your coaching sessions with hope that someday I will rid myself of this unwanted “thing” which invaded my body. Something I will not wish on my worst enemy. I share the feelings of everyone commenting on this site and I am very confident that we are ALL going to beat this “thing”. Thanks again.

I don't know how I found your channel but I am so glad I did, I have had migraine since I was a child (motion sickness, abdominal migraine, then full blown migraines with aura aged 12). I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine when I was 52 and working as a teacher. I remember the very first episode of vertigo I had because I was teaching a class at the time and just remember the world starting to spin. Since then I have had a real fear of dizziness as it is so incapacitating. It wasn't until I listened to your videos that I realised that the vertigo started at a time which was extremely stressful at work. I have found the recovery videos very insightful as the symptoms that people have with dizziness are so bizarre that most people who don't experience them can't really relate. I found it very reassuring that Julie, Anna and Mario all talked about depersonalisation which I suffer from - I'm going through a bad patch at the moment - unless you have experienced this awful feeling its hard to sympathise. Thank you for your really informative and reassuring videos. I am currently discovering many things about dizziness and how I can contribute to my own recovery - at the age of 70 after a lifetime of migraine symptoms there does appear to be hope.

I love your content Coach. My issue is a little tangled, All my life I struggled miserably with OCD then in 95 I started taking Luvox and it gave me a new life. That is until 2014 I had vestibular neuritis attack which left me dizzy which cleared up , but I still had an “offness “ that was difficult to define. My main issues as things cleared was my ability to balance without light was totally gone, but this only made me nervous when I was in dark situations. But over the last 10 years the OCD symptoms have come crashing through my meds. The only thing I can imagine is that neuronal cell death included parts of my brain that we’re keeping my OCD sorted. Have you ever heard of a case like this? Thanks again Mitch

For me, the fear I have is fear of having a wreck when I get dizziness/vertigo while driving. I recently had an attack of vertigo as a passenger in the car and I couldn't stand for my friend to even drive the car any further. I was having spinning and then the car moving at the same time was unbearable.
@TheSteadyCoach
@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
Hi Claudia, this is a very real fear because true vertigo is terrifying. The issue is that often fears like this become self fulfilling prophecies- the more we fear those things happening, the more "danger mode" is turned on, and the more likely we are to have symptoms. So- the idea is to work on the lower hanging fruit first. Driving is one of those things that you might want to work on a bit later once you have conquered some of the "easier" situations.

I am forcefully doing all physical activities with pain and especially car driving when it halts at traffic jam or signal body sways. When I walk for 5kms more next day dizziness is dense. In rest rooms and uneven roads I feel lot of imbalance. I am on homeopathy medicine which is helping me to reduce diziness. Recent days I realized we shud keep our body moving and divert your mind during onset of dizziness Hopefully I will recover soon.

I was not well in the bus trip but next day I started getting better and next 2 days i saw a wide improvement. I was into nature by taking waterfalls bath, seeing mountains, grape farm and avoiding sitting in a place for long time. This is my third trip observation where I am ok when I travel with nature and doing things which I like. Today iam back to home and my imbalance and tinittus started with mild diziness. This trip has concluded me that there is something I need to do to keep my dizziness down along with exercises, going out, don't think often on your dizziness, reduce screen time, keep moving, reduce stress. I am motivated by seeing steady coach videos and kudos to Doctor which is really a game changer.

I get very anxious when I need to drive myself. It takes an army to get me to drive. When I finally do go on my way the anxiety is there while the car is moving but the anxiety goes to a full 20 when I’m at the stop light. That’s when the dizziness creeps in. Where I just want to pull over to the side -if I safe to so, and not drive. Very overwhelming and uncomfortable.

Thank you for this insightful video! ❤️Fear and anxiety of my symptoms play a huge role in my life. I’m so glad you made a video on it. I was wondering if it’s also normal to get nervous when trying to do exercises to get better ? I find myself tensing up and getting panicky whenever I sit down and actually commit to the exercises. I procrastinate it sometimes because for some reason I’m scared of committing and actively doing something about it. Maybe it’s the fear of facing it and me realizing it’s a problem that gets me nervous but I’m not sure.

@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
Totally normal! That's why I suggest doing them with parasympathetic breathing, so you have a way of managing the panic that can come up (I explain this technique in the free course at members.thesteadycoach.com ). But yes, you mention having a potential fear of facing it- and maybe feeling like you might fail, or that things might get worse. Look at those parts of you that hold those fears and see if they're willing to allow you to try the exercises in a way that is self compassionate.

Hi there! I just recently discovered your videos from an interview you did with Jim. I love your perspective and am trying to glean as much info as possible and I’m so thankful for the content you are putting out. I have a question about my particular symptoms. I have been to a regular doctor and they are stumped about my dizziness (a general feeling of not being ok, feeling “drunk” , disassociated) so I haven’t exactly been through the ringer with medical testing but I am told that everything is fine. Everything is normal. I can function normally but the symptoms are interfering with me feeling safe, so that’s what brought me to discovering TMS on my own. Is accepting this a normal attribute that you you see often? In other words I’m having a hard time excepting that everything is fine on one hand but On the other hand I’m having a hard time excepting that there isn’t something else going on. Do you have advice for moving forward on this journey of self healing when there’s a lot of doubt still in play? Struggling and scared. Thank you 😊

This video is so amazing! You seriously are a godsend, Dr. Yo! How do you stop being scared of being abandoned or like you said, how do you stop fearing what the symptoms might mean, like that people don't want to be your caregiver? It is a valid fear. You hit the nail on the head with that one.

Hi Andrea! So, of course these fears don't come from nowhere- it WOULD be very scary and very bad to not have support when you are ill. However, some people fixate on fears like this, and in their efforts to get rid of them (because they're understandably so scared), they end up worrying about them, battling them and therefore amplifying them and getting stuck in them. So the first thing is realizing- how much of this fear is actual fear of abandonment and how louder has this fear become because I am constantly worrying about it and trying to avoid it? And where does the fear of abandonment come from? Usually i find that people who have a huge fear of abandonment suffered attachment wounds as children and/or have deep feelings that they are not worthy of being cared for. This is the real issue to work on.

Hi Dr. Yonit. I am not sure if this is what I have.. it all started in mid June this year. When I came home from a big meal on a super hot day, I felt super nauseous and head felt heavy. I thought it was just digestive issues.. but since then I was feeling a bit dizzy (non vertigo) and head feeling heavy for about 2 weeks. I did blood tests and it came out fine. Then I felt fine for about another 2 weeks. Come mid July, I had a fever and chills on a Sunday which went away the next day. 4 days after at work, I felt super dizzy.. but I was able to drive home. I thought it was due to work stress as that day was a super busy day. The next 2 days, I felt fine again (this was the weekend). However, when I went back to work Monday, my head felt heavy again. I did not have balance issues but mainly brain fog/head heavy symtoms. I saw an ENT and he said not an inner ear issue and most likely a residual symptom after a viral infection. I then suddenly felt no symptoms for about a week. And now its back but the symptoms are a bit different.. now I feel a bit floaty while walking.. and head feels heavy too. Some days I would have less symptoms and some days super bad.. Is this PPPD? I do not understand how the symptoms were gone and now back with a different type.. I saw your other video about what recovery looks like. Could this be my way to recovery..? Please help.. I just had to take an extended leave for work due to this.. FYI I do have a history of BVVP.

Yes, that does sound like predictive coding! It may not be that you trained yourself to respond this way- it could be that originally that is how it showed up and since you hate it, that kept the danger signal and therefore symptoms going. For symptom patterns like yours, the issue is that your brain is not properly predicting its preparation for movement (not necessarily the movement itself).

@TheSteadyCoach Жыл бұрын
Hello there, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this and for so long! Stress and tension in the body lead to spasms in the muscles and this can affect both blood flow to the sinuses/head/neck as well as cause the actual channels (sinuses, Eustachian tube) to constrict as well. This leads to face, head and ear pressure. The remedy IMO is dealing with the underlying tension.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! I find that it's often when someone does make peace with a particular symptom, another one can show up, and often it's one that's much scarier. Of course it is very important toget a medical workup to make sure there is nothing medically wrong first. If nothing is found, what I would do is start to see if you can trace back to the roots of what started this whole set of symptoms in the first place (before the vertigo). If you are able to identify and resolve those things, you will be much less likely to have an attack like that.

Since then I have been prescribed a antihistamine nasal spray as i cant stomach the tablets and have lowered my salt intake and have been wearing a mask when i go out to further protect from pollen, also ive just started using Xlear xylitol nasal spray and drinking more water, taking Ginkgo biloba and basically trying to get back to normal doing my ususal things, so hopefully I can stave off another traumatic attack! : )

I've never been a fearful person by nature. Always the one who handles the situations... I'm just now thinking perhaps there has been an underlying fear that when I needed it no one would be capable of, or willing to be there to support me if I needed it, or at least not enough.Makes sense since I've almost died so many times in the past almost three years trying to find stability in the state I moved to in too much of a hurry. I'm going to have to consider that for a bit. Also lack of grounding into the body and being too much on the mind or wishing yourself free from the body or just trying to ignore reality to get through the day and get things done could have something to do with the feelings of separation, or disconnection from the body that are a part of this. It's awful. I have sensed that being non-reactionary seems to be essential in not getting triggered into some form of this nonsense. Thank you for the video.

With me being lightheaded, I find that walking helps, actually I find it easier to walk and I can even go long distances but I find standing still is more difficult unless I move around. Even getting around the house walking is easier but standing in one place is more of a struggle. People see me walking all over the place and they and they can't understand I have any issues, it's a crazy thing. I'm now seeing a dentist who told me I that I have TMD and I'm missing teeth on one side. To me it feels like more of a balance issue rather than being feint, sometimes headaches. I have seen every kind of Dr along with MRI's and other test VNG etc. whatever it is it's not pleasant 24/7. Dentist wants me to do phys. therapy to relax jaw muscles. Then dental implant to correct jaw imbalance. I'm hoping.

Could it be that since my eyes aren’t focusing correctly the brain stops the vestib/eye connection and stops the dizziness. I’ve had my eyes and prescription checked and everything seems fine.

In general, yes, people with PPPD have "visual dominance" aka their brain is overly interested in what the eyes are doing. When you take away your glasses, you're sending your brain a message, "Nope, don't pay as much attention to my eyes." and then your brain starts using your other senses instead of overrelying on your vision! This looks a bit different for everyone but makes sense in this context!

@@TheSteadyCoach very similar to closing my eyes. It’s interesting. I wonder if it helps or hurts my recovery to be without the glasses

@@mixel2413 I just started implementing everything on Dr. Yonit’s channel about a week ago so I’m very early in the recovery process. But yes I guess it’s normal to feel less dizzy when the glasses are off with PPPD. It kinda makes you want to be without the glasses all day lol but that’s not good since you will be seeing blurry all day😑

I see this is old. But wow that right there was pretty deep I mean really deep. But made more sense than any bill pushing doctor I have ever spoken with. Todays doctors ARE the cause of most peoples anxiety. They run test after test after test pushing pills then show you statistics that say if you don't do this statistics show you might die because of that. But if you do take this you might die from that.. It's crazy and just builds and builds over time. It's all in the head and it's hard to get rid of the song that keeps on playing in your brain. I must say life was a lot simpler years ago. People in the 1800s didn't deal with this stuff they were tough and just dealt with it. We have become a society of sissies and it feeds on stress and anxiety. While big Pharma gets rich.

@@englishwithhina5398 Oh my god finally someone understands the "lying on the bed feeling like flying" feeling I have! It's eerie isn't it?! Sometimes I also feel like the bed is slowly tilting upwards, or like the mattress isn't really there. Being in bed is my hardest trigger because I also get BPPV in the mornings sometimes, so I'm often scared to lie down and relax. It's hell!
