    I think you are a guardian angel as corny as that is. Truly
  • Morning routine is exactly what I created also on my own to overcome on the dizziness. Now just heard it here too.
  • The video on habits was so powerful I felt better immediately. Feedback to your brain is so critical and needs to be repetitive. Absolutely life changing advice 🙏🏻
  • @sammiller2617
    This is exactly the kind of practical advise we need in which to apply all the theory. Thank you so much xx
  • Today is July 28, 2023. I just got your workbook. I need to tell you I am a Certified Hypnotherapist but never practiced. So I work up this morning and began talking to my brain that I am so happy it is taking good care of me except it needs now to allow me to handle things because I am no longer angry or fearful of things and people who have hurt me at work and I need to have IT stop putting me into Fight or Flight. I spoke to my brain on and off all morning and as I was driving around because I am on vacation. I am going to this evening, hypnotize myself and continue working through your program. The workbook is really helpful. Gave me a lot to think about. Don't know if you read these yourself or someone else helps you but so happy you came into my life. Happy weekend.

    Hi, Thanks so much for these videos. I am a 22 year old male. I think I realized fairly quickly that it is PPPD I have. I had a very severe panic attack when I tried a drug around a month back. Extremely stupid. A strange form of dizziness persisted. After one or two weeks of lying around wallowing and thinking I was going insane (literally) I tried going back to normal. Ironically me and my family had to travel to a another country by aeroplane at this point in time for a funeral. I was really scared that this would be impossible. But the fact is that it gradually made my symptoms better. On the trip home I felt fine...Moving forward with university and work has been harder though. Days when im busy and with friends can be fine and I feel almost good. Days when im taking it easy I do realize I get stuck in the negative feedback loops that make me dizzy...It is so frustrating because I KNOW the fact that im focusing on it makes it worse. But I still have difficulty breaking it. The thing most annoying for me is the eyes not seeming to be able to focus completely when reading or working with a computer. Although at times im fine with this too. Everything is so random almost. When you in this video said "look for inconsistencies in your symptoms" I almost laughed because its so accurate. I had three days of zoom meetings on my laptop this past week and it made my symptoms very bad. Working on a larger screen computer is much better. Watching TV is totally fine. Mobile phone is so and so. Do you have any specific tips for me? Do you think im on my way to healing if I just keep moving on and try to ignore it? It is better than it was in the beginning but does wax and wane... Thanks so much for these videos. They do help a lot. Peter
  • I want to give you a hug through the screen. This is so true for my career and I’m glad you said you don’t have to quit cause I can’t afford to quit. I can acknowledge and release that pressure cooker and continue to work.
  • @sratetzloff
    Muchas gracias.. Your videos are helping me learn how to deal with my PPPD symptoms. Very interesting and educational. I think many doctors should seat down and learn from you on how to address their patients symptoms.

    Glad I found you Dr. Yo. I think I'm suffering from PPD after a moderate sinus infection caused me some dizziness. I have a history of surgery on my left ear which caused some hypofunction in the past but That was 20 years ago and I had adapted. Whatever I'm feeling now is something new. Went to ENT had CT scans. He didn't see anything remarkable other then the evidence of surgery. He basically said he had no answers for me and sent me on my way. PCP thinks it's all anxiety. I feel as though I've become hyper aware of all movements both visually and sense of touch. It's been 2 months. Been doing vestibular therapy and just started an SSRI. Such a terrible feeling.

    I’ve been housebound for nearly 6 months can’t work or do anything 😢I’ve had ct scan and bloods all clear they thought it was labyrinthitis then I was told it might be crystals I’ve had no answers :( I’m dizzy everyday and can’t do much I get this awful feeling like I’m going to faint. Thanks for sharing this is helpful ❤
  • @Amy-um2lk
    Driving and computer are my triggers! I’m going to try the peripheral viewing trick on my computer. Thanks for these tips!
  • @meganhenry5795
    In addition to Dr. Yonit's brilliant suggestions, high dose CBD/low dose THC gummies have saved my life. It takes my attention elsewhere, not on the dizziness.
  • @Eric-777
    It’s the repetition of head turns and the eye movements that make very strong dizziness within moments. I’ve stopped driving for fear of accident
  • @DiamondForevah
    Thanks for your videos and the course, the problem for me is that walking is almost impossible, reading or using a computer is impossible, i can’t do anything because I get dizzy and nauseous, even lying down with my eyes closed triggers dizziness and my head starts to spin like a subjective vertigo, I can only use my phone to watch YouTube videos or listen to podcast, I’m stating vestibular rehabilitation soon, but in the meantime I’m getting very tired and sad, it’s been a lot of months already
  • Another great video packed full of useful tips. I look forward to part 2. Thank you Dr. Yo!
  • @snu2431
