The free course is where all of you should be starting your recovery. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Want to meet these amazing people and many more like them? We meet weekly on Zoom in my coaching group. thesteadycoach.com/services

Today you're going to hear from Kristian (phobic vertigo, agoraphobia and cPTSD), Scott (PPPD), Ron (post-concussion syndrome), Andy (PPPD) and Elizabeth (PPPD). These fabulous individuals are all currently in the process of recovering from chronic dizziness symptoms and volunteer as mentors in our coaching program to help others who are embarking on the recovery process. We had this discussion to take an in-depth, honest look "under the hood" of recovery, what it looks like in practice, and how the mentors have experienced the changes in both symptoms and their broader lives.

00:00:00 Intro
00:02:40 About the participants
00:16:16 What recovery means - it's not about going back to how you were before
00:26:56 Description of what participants' symptoms and lives are like nowadays
00:41:21 The difference between "symptom management" and recovery
00:47:31 Advice to those still recovering: it's about YOU, healing is an inside job, you are not broken
00:57:02 Recovery is about realizing that the symptoms aren't the problem

    I told my therapist that I figured out that I can be happy anyway....what a great epiphany... It made a difference.

    To everyone here… I have the utmost respect and COMPASSION for. I’m 70… and this has been my life as well. I can relate to all. For me, Decades of “STUFF” to unravel, LEARN AND FEEL! To KRISTIAN❤❤… i send you a very “ SPECIAL” and sincere love energy . MANY MANY things you said about yourself… have been me too. It’s quite the journey i am in too, and I’m sending a BIG HUG. If I could .. dear man, I would sit with you and a cup of tea and share our story and be safe. We are ALL amazing humans with so much to share❤ Thank you EVERYONE!!

    This was great Dr Yo. Good to see familiar faces, thsnkyou everyone😊. Im 17 months in. I found you a year ago and have made SIGNIFICANT healing in that time. Im back to doing things I never thought I would do again. However, im not where I want to be in the healing process, im a long hauler healer😅 and thats ok because I recognise the trauma that got me here will take more than watching a video. Keep going everyone, this time last year i coukdnt drive, walk properly, see properly and had so many symptoms including agoraphobia. Two weeks ago I was on a plane! You can do it ❤

    Dr Yo, Kristian, Scott, Elizabeth Ron and Andy I am so privileged to know you all. Thank you all for sharing your wisdom and courage with me. Three years ago I would not have believed I would even understand what you are talking about. Today I am so grateful that I do.

    LOVED this!! As someone who is WAY better but not fully recovered yet, this makes all the difference in the world. Sometimes hearing success stories from people who are fully recovered seems unreachable for me. But these folks in the video, you are my people!! It helps me to know that I am normal. I have so much of my life back it’s amazing. But I’m still on my journey towards full recovery. I know for me, this is exactly right. But I can’t tell you how important it is to know that that’s normal and that I’m not alone. This is one of the most important videos you have made yet!

    Wow, just realizing how my mind is affecting my body... I agree that I was wired for this from such a young age. Always been a nervous person...
  • @margiadams9451
    Thank you Dr Yo and all of you! I am off into the sunset after 15 months of sharing this growth experience with all of you! So many pieces to this puzzle have been put in place and You have given me the tools to go back out into the world and I appreciate that so much! I definitely could not have done this without being part of the VIP group because none of this was part of my “vocabulary”! I am so much better and the part that remains is annoying, as Andy said, and I can deal with that! And I do expect it will complete subside! A different “me” has definitely come out the other side of this and that was so necessary!!!! I am forever grateful Dr Yo!

    Hi I am John from the UK, been struggling with PPPD for three years. I am so enjoying this session, they are the same things I am . Retired three years ago. My wife is listening and it is helping her understanding me.
  • @lynnnestor7985
    Oh Dr Yo again right on strategy point bringing together a panel of eager “I’m still in training” wise souls. Most of the community that need the insights are STILL working on honouring who they are + finding peace through the fear. This format, content and the experience of coregulation was magical with real sincerity + generosity.
  • @marial6011
    The best people on the planet. So blessed to know you all. So much respect and love for you all. ♥️
  • Dr. Yo, I’ve been following you on YouTube for a few months now. I am going on 10 years with symptoms. Your sincerity, genuineness, and compassion are what make you so special. This panel is great and would love to see more of these! Appreciate everyone sharing their stories.
  • So much incredible insight from everyone. It’s actually fascinating to hear how it truly is unique for each person.
  • @AlenaWatts
    Thank you for this!! I relate to all of these situations. It is comforting to know I’m not alone and that I’m normal in this recovery process.
  • @moreenmurray
    Thank you so much everyone for sharing your stories and insights! Bravo

    Thank you guys for giving of your time and sharing your life stories.... Thank you Dr Yo for bringing them together. It helps to hear this..❤

    I appreciate the individuals who took the time to make this video and my heart goes out to each of you. I have been having sensations for 20+ years (I am 43 years old....so really about half my life. My 30s consisted of very intense sensations that were life altering and almost life ending. I have been on the mind body path for 2+ years. I have made significant progress, but how I feel on a daily basis is far from "normal". I have not really reached the point of thankfulness for what I have gone through, but hopefully I will reach that at some point. I am thankful this episode is real about what "recovery" looks like for many on this path. So many of the testimonials are the I am fully recovered in 3 months to a year. I think this is the case for some, but not the average. It also appears many never reach full revocery but instead adjust their lives to cope with what remains. This is nothing more than my observations. Prayers for each of you on this journey.
  • It’s been awhile but I still check in with this community and refer people to it. Continuing to manage my own PPPD and appreciate Dr Yo and all the folks on this journey! What a lovely group of people on this episode sharing their story and new beliefs about recovery. Thank you all!
