I mention in the video some resources for dealing with chronic repressed stress ("teakettling") especially for those of you dealing with significant trauma. My favorite is Howard Schubiner's Unlearn Your Pain: www.amazon.com/Unlearn-Your-Pain-third-Keller/dp/0…

I definitely suspect that being anxious in the morning about how I will feel when I get up is probably creating a self-fulfilling scenario. Thanks for another good video!
-
Yeah first thing i think of as I get up in the morning is am I going to be dizzy. I’m trying so hard not to think about it but you’re right it’s predicting
-
I’ve never had any issues until about 3 weeks ago when I was out walking in the woods looking for morels. I noticed a slight dizziness and it has gotten worse every week from that day. Now I feel more “lightheaded” on a daily basis than I feel normal. Sometimes I start to get anxious about it being a health issue and that makes things 1000% worse.

I feel anxiety definitely makes my swaying rocking boat wave more intense... It's a vicious cycle like panic attacks... The solution is to relax but the swaying/fear makes it incredibly difficult...
-
What a blessing you are! I don't go to Doctors any more as they look at me strangely. No help at all. Since I have listened to you on your channel I can now understand why and how to deal with all this overwhelming information. I suffer exactly what you discuss. I don't feel like an outcast with it. I just say I do it dizzy and keep moving forward. Sitting out in the sun seems to help. Thank you!
-
My dizziness and lightheadedness is definitely worse at night. It comes on as soon as I sit down to relax and stays until I go to bed. I’m noticing after 6 months of suffering, I’m better when I keep moving for short periods at a time.
-
This is so reassuring. This is the third time I’ve listened! My symptoms have intensified in many ways since starting the VRT and my anxiety has gone through the roof but I have had glimpses of reductions too at times. I now find screens and reading slightly less triggering. I just keep reminding myself to trust the process and as Cicero said ‘no great thing was created suddenly’! Thanks so much x
-
Thank you for this! Relapses have been discouraging. As for fluctuations throughout the day, I'll add that my dizziness gets worse as daylight fades and everything gets darker, and apparently also when a rain storm is coming in (barometric pressure drop?).

I just watched this video while doing your free course. I’m finally seeing how my brain is affecting my symptoms! I just had a few very rough days with my daughter who is 31 and has Asperger Syndrome. My symptoms have increased greatly since she had her meltdown. 😢 Thank you for this video which I will definitely be saving. ❤
-
Love how informative this channel is. Please never stop, we need more Information out there ❤
-
I go up and down. I feel like I'm getting better, then I go worse. Generally I go from worse to worse. Where now I can hardly walk!
-
Gotta hand it to you Dr. Yo every one of your videos help so much. I’ve looked for the past 4 years on why I feel this way. I thought it was some type of Brain Damage or even dementia. It affects my thinking and everything from cognition to brain fog to feelings of confusion. Thank you for your videos and all your help. Everything you explain is exactly how I feel. It’s truly a blessing and helps myself and many others to understand what we’re going through. And that full recovery is 100% attainable.

It used to distress me because i used to think it was something I was doing wrong. Now i just realise its the ebb and flow of this
-
Thank you for this video!! I do find myself predicting how I’ll feel before I do things. And the second answer makes so much sense as well.
-
Ive just revisited this video. Thinking im going through an extinction burst, my symptoms had just about gone and past few days some that had gone returned. I forgot about this video, so glad im part of your course as i was reminded of the e tinction burst. Phew. Thankyou
-
Brilliant video, thank you. I got this 👍🏻
-
Wow I was just asking myself this! Thanks.
-
Another great explanation. I just love how you make it so understandable and relatable. Thank you again x Lou x
-
I really needed to hear this. Thankyou soooooooo much!

Found out I have a pineal cyst on my brain and some of the symptoms seems to be similar but doctors say it’s very rare. Dizziness, vision problems. Wondering is this is actually what’s going on.
