00:00:00 Intro
00:02:02 About Anurag and when his dizziness started
00:03:44 Description of the symptoms: 24/7 instability, rocking, floating
00:04:45 The difficulty process of trying to get a diagnosis
00:07:42 VRT for hours a day and the exercises did not help
00:08:16 The medical interventions didn't help either
00:09:17 He had to quit his new job due to symptoms and was living alone without support
00:10:50 Finding this channel and realizing that the symptoms were REAL but brain generated was the first step to recovery
00:13:26 How Anurag's nervous system ended up in a state of hypervigilance in the first place
00:16:41 How childhood experiences were showing up in his adult life; why CBT didn't quite get him there
00:19:41 Nothing specifically stressful set off the symptoms; it was an accumulation of stress
00:20:30 Major weight loss also occurred before the symptoms started
00:24:04 Anurag never considered himself an anxious person and people thought he was calm
00:26:54 After binge watching all my videos, Anurag found a coach to help him work with his nervous system
00:27:51 Anurag describes some of the nervous system exercises that helped him
00:29:50 The focus was NOT on symptoms; it was on getting him to feel safe in his body
00:31:45 When you're feeling strong symptoms, it's not the time to figure out "why" they're stronger
00:33:50 Anurag describes how he structured his recovery while the symptoms were very strong
00:36:00 The YouTube channel, success stories and his coach got him through the really tough times
00:37:17 Symptoms were at a 10/10 but down to an 8/10 within the first month once he started practicing these techniques
00:38:34 How he changes the habit of checking for the symptoms - using advice from my videos
00:41:00 Telling yourself "I'm safe" doesn't always work
00:41:37 Anurag describes the emotional work he did to help in his recovery
00:43:25 How he "processes" emotions from his childhood
00:48:03 Why he feels "quietly positive" about his dizziness- and how important it is not to bypass our humanity
00:50:22 What life is like now compared to what it was like 6 months ago
00:53:10 The importance of finding his own values in his recovery

I can't say enough about how much these success stories help, I have so much respect for the courage of those who've made it to the other side of this. Not only that, but these testimonials give comfort and hope, which is such an important component of recovery, especially if your NCD is coupled with severe anxiety. Still working on completely accepting that I was sort of "primed" for this long before my symptoms began. Thank you Anurag and Dr. Yo..❤️
-
I absolutely agree with Anurag. Regulating the nervous system FIRST is important. Congratulations such an articulated explanation 👏
-
Very intelligent interview 👌 I love the point at the end that this didnt come out of nowhere and it took years to build up, so it will take some time to fully resolve. Great words of wisdom 👏

A lot of Anurang's words resonated with me and I ended up crying my eyes out. I watched the entire story hoping to find some ideas of how to deal with my situation. My symptoms have been at 1-2 for many months now, but today I had my first day at work and the symptoms skyrocketed fo a 5-6, especially the headaches. The job is one that I really wanted and that I was very happy to get, but it really depresses me thinking that I might end up quiting after one week like back in 2020 because my symptoms increase very quickly in front of the computer, although when I am at home in my bed it never seems to be this bad. This whole situation is so frustrating it makes me want to die. I am 24 struggling to do a job I like😓
-
such an amazing story and articulate in sharing the emotional component of your journey. Thank you!
-
This was such an inspirational recovery story. His symptoms started right around my time frame and I am alittle behind him. He was very articulate and gives me hope I can get there. I'm still going Dr. Yo! :):) Thanks for the wonderful video...yet again.
-
I am listening to you and Anurug and inside myself somewhere is the need to come into regulation in my body before I can process what I am feeling in my body then I will be open to feeling any emotions in my body. I just talked to a very famous Dr. who was helpful but cognitively saying mantras to myself is all good but in my body, I feel this fight and flight feeling is the key to my own journey into healing, I really can't bypass my humanness in this neuro circuit dizziness. I look forward to working with my dizziness coach and feel quietly positive as did Anurag. Thank you so much for caring about us all!

Absolutely eye opening to hear from his perspective. Finding anyone professional in canada is so hard so hearing free advice is wonderful.

Wow, resonates totally with me. Excellent description of NCD and how to recover.
-
I love it! :-) I had ti stop about 2/3 in because his story made me weepy. I've been having the same 24/7 si nce fall of 2020 and I've come a long way - but this gives me hope for some final peace. It's nice to be here and know I'm not alone.

♥ Thanks THANKS SO MUCH Anurag and Dr. Yo for this insightful interview, full of little gems of inner wisdom. The idea of allowing us to "be more human" is pure gold, Anurag. I do believe that we are Spiritual Beings living this human experience, and that implies not only living the so bright side of life. 🙏💫 And thanks again Dr. Yo for your energy and help, you are an Angel on Earth... 💞
-
This was so very encouraging, thank you dr Yo and Anurag , this has been so helpful , I was feeling so discouraged.... I needed to hear this .
-
Thank you Dr yo and Anurag for this Really strengthening and verifies the fact that with patience, hope and self-belief it is possible to recover Theres some good days that I almost dont feel a thing ,and theres days when the symptoms decide to reappear. One thing he said that resonates in my mind that I decided to set for myself through recovery process and for life in general is that IM HUMAN I can let myself feel and I don't have to take control over everything. Thank you Dr yo for everything you do, and for making me live with much more compassion for myself. Thank you is an understatement!!!!!!!
