Crushing Doubt

Today, on the Mind Body Connection Series, I take a close look at one of the key variables that lead to doubt: triggers. This video describes just what constitutes a trigger, how to recognize them, and what to do to challenge them effectively so that they don’t lead to a deepening of symptoms or increased doubt moving forward.

This is a live Q&A about mind body symptoms with Crushing Doubt host Dr. Dan Ratner. If you have chronic pain or other physical symptoms that haven’t been able to be explained or helped by medical doctors or other alternative treatments, this information can change your life. By changing the way we think and feel, we can change our actual physiological processes to relieve — or even cure — many symptoms, from head to toe.

In the next installment of my How To Series, I help the viewer consider what it means to make a decision in their process of getting better, as many aspects of the journey do require subtle decisions we may not even realize we are either not making or are even set against. The key in using this information is to begin to explore if there are decisions that you didn’t even understand could BE decisions!

I was thrilled to have my first podcast guest, Witalij Martynow, return to Crushing Doubt. Even better, he has grown in leaps and bounds in his sense of power and is now expanding his growing breath work practice that is bringing expansion and happiness to many people. We talk about the concept of power that he learned with me and how he now opens doors for other people in a similar way, but with his own manifestation of it.

Sarah S. joined me to talk about her recovery from twenty five years of back pain, starting at age eleven. We explored what it was like to her to try to get past her understandable skepticism and sense of being a ‘back pain expert’ after all of her years of suffering, though she is now able to appreciate that what she was was an expert on back suffering.

In my latest Mind Body Connection Series episode, I explore the importance of Black and white thinking — when to apply it and in what way. In the world of psychology, we tend to praise people who develop shades of gray thinking, referring to the ability to see the mixed qualities of individuals, experiences, and things. This is a great trait to develop for your interactions in the outside world, but it can prevent being able to resolve symptoms in your relationship with you.

In this installment of my How To Series, I look at the important distinction between diagnosis and symptoms. So many of the people who come to see me either are saddled with a diagnosis that causes them to have significant worries and doubts, or are desperate for a diagnosis to explain what is going on for them. The problem? Neither of these situations is a good one and it is totally avoidable if we think in terms of symptoms and not diagnosis.

In this episode of our testimonial videos, Jackie Ponsky joins us to talk about her recovery from a debilitating experience with a cluster of symptoms that can be represented by panic, foggy thinking, needing to lie down, heart palpitations, and more. Medical doctors were not able to figure out what was going on with her, but were able to rule out anything serious in medical terms, despite not knowing how to help her with the symptoms.
