I have such a treat for you in this incredible 2 part interview. This is Part 1 of my interview with Vanessa Blackstone, ACSW, who is a psychotherapist who specializes in helping people with medically unexplained chronic physical symptoms, the Executive Director of the Pain Psychology Center, and a clinical trainer/consultant at the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center. But in this interview, Vanessa is not here as a professional, rather as a person who herself recovered from vestibular migraine. Vanessa suffered from vestibular migraine from the age of 11 until she was in her mid twenties, and her story is sure to inspire you. I was deeply moved by this interview and I know you will take a lot away from it as well.

Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2!

I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Ron Frederick, PhD to The Steady Coach. Dr. Frederick is a highly experienced psychotherapist, senior faculty member at the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Institute and co-founder of the Center for Courageous Living. He is also the author of Living Like You Mean It and Loving Like You Mean It, which I consider mandatory reading for people recovering from chronic dizziness symptoms related to PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine and other medically unexplained chronic dizziness, pain and other symptoms. In this interview, Dr. Frederick shares what emotional well-being is, how it connects to our physical health, how we develop emotional "programming" or maps based on our life experiences, and why we need to update that programming in order to recover and thrive.

You can learn more about Dr. Frederick on the Center for Courageous Living website https://www.cfcliving.com/ Purchase Living Like You Mean It and Loving Like You Mean It via your favorite bookseller, and go to https://www.cfcliving.com/books/lovin... to get a free audio program, Befriending Anger, which is also an excellent offering for people with neural circuit dizziness.

I am so pleased to welcome Tanner Murtagh, MSW, RSW to my channel to give us a crash course on polyvagal theory and nervous system safety. Tanner is the director of Pain Psychotherapy Canada and specializes in helping people recover from chronic physical symptoms like pain, dizziness, fatigue, digestive issues and more. In this interview, we dive into why "messages of safety" are such a common refrain in healing from chronic neural circuit disorders. Even more importantly, we discuss why so many of you don't believe yourselves when you try to tell yourself you're safe. Tanner gives us a breakdown of how to start noticing and shifting your nervous system states, an essential component of healing from chronic dizziness.

I'm so excited to bring you this interview with the wonderful Joella, who is recovered from MdDS that was brought on by motion (motion induced Mal de Debarquement Syndrome). In this interview, Joella shares her experience and how things got progressively worse as she was given a bleak prognosis. She describes in detail both the symptoms and what it was like trying to navigate life with these symptoms. Thankfully, Joella found these resources and put everything into practice. I am so happy to share that she has since made a full recovery.

You may notice some edits here as we were having some technical issues, but thankfully Joella was able to share her full story.

In this interview with leading mindbody physician Dr. David Schechter, MD, we discuss his nearly 30 (!) years of experience working with medically unexplained chronic symptoms like chronic neck, back, TMJ, pelvic and other pain, dizziness, digestive issues and other symptoms. We talk about what diagnosis and treatment of these conditions SHOULD look like (compare that to what you had done for your diagnosis and treatment!), when neck and TMJ pain related to dizziness are actually also mindbody disorders, why vestibular migraine and other symptom-based diagnoses are not particularly helpful, and how journaling can be so helpful in treating these conditions.

You can learn more about Dr. Schechter and his long and impactful career in mindbody medicine on his website, https://schechtermd.com, where you can also find more information about his practice, schedule an appointment if you are in the greater Los Angeles area, and learn more about mindbody conditions, his books and more.

It is an absolute delight to interview the unstoppable Andrea, who is one of my own clients and who suffered terribly from MdDS. Andrea had a few months of symptoms during a stressful period in 2013. Those symptoms resolved, but her chronic symptoms started in 2020 during another incredibly stressful period. After doing every possible treatment and finding no relief, Andrea and I started working together in February of 2022, and things started getting better. Two months in, Andrea found out she was pregnant! In this interview, Andrea talks about her experiences recovering while pregnant, giving birth and post-partum, and she shares how she is doing today- symptom free.

This fabulous interview is with Mariclare Dasigenis, LCSW, a psychotherapist, AEDP therapist and mindbody coach who helps people with chronic dizziness, chronic pain and other medically unexplained chronic symptoms recover. In this discussion, we talk about why people with traumatic experiences and/or difficult experiences are so much more likely to develop chronic physical symptoms. We explore when it is appropriate to dig into emotions and past experiences rather than just focus on our reactions to symptoms (also important, but often not adequate). Mariclare provides actionable tools that you can use to start processing your own difficult experiences, and we talk about how and when to use them. There is so much to learn from this interview- please enjoy!

It is such an honor to interview one of my own clients, Parker, who would like to share her story with you! Parker has suffered from vestibular migraine for over 10 years, but everything came to a head about 1.5 years ago, when she ended up completely debilitated and basically stuck in bed. For someone like Parker, who is a lifelong dancer and now a yoga instructor, this was devastating. Parker tried everything under the sun to get better. Once we started working together, things slowly started getting better. We felt it was very important to share her story with you because there are many of you out there like Parker whose journeys take a long time and are not linear!

It is a joy to share with you this success story from Carla, whose vestibular neuritis occurred in mid 2022 and rapidly resulted in debilitating PPPD. It took a few months of increasingly debilitating symptoms, but fortunately Carla found this YouTube channel in October of 2022 and was fully recovered in the beginning of 2023. Watch or listen to learn more about her experience and her story, the stress that led to symptoms, and how she recovered.
