22:36 Ask Dr. Yo: What Should I Do When Symptoms Get Worse After Stress? (PPPD, Dizziness, Tinnitus)

Why do symptoms get worse after stress or busy periods in PPPD, MdDS, tinnitus, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, and other neural circuit conditions? And what do you do about it? It's not the stress itself. Learn the two common "stress traps" that cause spikes and actionable tools to prevent them.

In this Ask Dr. Yo episode, Dr. Yonit Arthur (audiologist and coach) explains why so many people with PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), MdDS, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, visual symptoms, tinnitus, and other neural circuit symptoms experience big symptom spikes after stressful or busy periods — like holidays, vacations, exams, or life milestones. The good news? You don't have to eliminate all stress from your life. The real cause of the spike is usually one (or both) of two common "stress traps":

The "I can't" trap → feeling helpless, limited, or like symptoms will last forever The "I must/I should" trap → pushing through out of guilt and crashing afterward

Dr. Yo breaks down exactly how these thought patterns overload your nervous system and offers practical mindset shifts and audits you can do right now to: Respond differently to stress Reduce reactivity Prevent future symptom spikes Move closer to full recovery Whether you're noticing this pattern seasonally or after any busy time, this video gives you clear, actionable steps to break the cycle.

Maura's inspiring recovery story from severe hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) from post-concussion syndrome – from unbearable everyday noise pain to full life again.

Hyperacusis recovery is possible: discover the mind-body tools and mindset shifts that helped her heal when doctors said there was no cure.

In this powerful 1.5-hour interview on The Steady Coach channel, Maura openly shares her journey recovering from debilitating hyperacusis and post-concussion syndrome following a traumatic fall. She describes how ordinary sounds – running water, dishes clinking, even family voices – became excruciatingly painful, forcing her into isolation and constant ear protection. Told by specialists that her condition could only be managed and that full recovery wasn't possible, Maura reached a breaking point… until she found the right guidance combining nervous system education, brown noise therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Curable, and essential emotional work. Today, she functions fully in the world again – enjoying family meals, work, concerts, and everyday life without fear leading the way.

Whether you're struggling with hyperacusis, tinnitus, misophonia, PPPD, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, or other neural circuit symptoms, Maura's story offers real hope and practical insights: recovery often starts with understanding that these symptoms are driven by a sensitized nervous system, not permanent ear damage.

Join me as I sit down with Sam Miller for an insightful conversation on the nuances of 'allowing'. In this detailed follow-up discussion, we aim to reconcile our seemingly different approaches about allowing emotions and sensations, particularly for those dealing with chronic dizziness, chronic pain, or other neural circuit conditions. We explain the mechanics of allowing, the concept of active acceptance, prediction errors, and why integration is crucial for recovery. This advanced conversation is a must-watch for those familiar with our work and seeking deeper understanding. Sam and I also address common questions and misconceptions, offering practical steps for achieving true recovery and self-awareness.
