121. "Safety" Isn't the Answer to Symptoms? Dr. Mark Lumley on Emotions & Getting Uncomfortable
If you're struggling with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, chronic pain, fatigue, or neuroplastic symptoms that won't resolve, prioritizing "feeling safe" above all else might actually be keeping you stuck in symptoms. In this powerful interview, Dr. Yonit Arthur (audiologist and coach) talks with professor, clinical psychologist and researcher Dr. Mark Lumley, PhD about Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET). Dr. Lumley explains why true recovery from neuroplastic symptoms often requires moving beyond a safety-first mindset, distinguishing physical safety from emotional safety, and rewiring an over-sensitized, threat-tuned brain. Key Topics Covered: • Why hyper-focusing on "feeling safe" can keep your nervous system in threat mode • What Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) is and how it helps with chronic symptoms • The role of buried anger, grief, and shame in chronic pain, dizziness, and fatigue • Practical tools: imagery, body-based emotional expression, and "try-it-on" practices • Why temporary symptom flares happen during emotional processing and how to navigate them • Why EAET and emotional resolution can outperform traditional CBT symptom management Resources & Links: Free Course: https://thesteadycoach.com/free-course Dr. Mark Lumley's Webpage: https://clasprofiles.wayne.edu/profil... Learn more about EAET & Neuroplastic Resources: https://unlearnyourpain.com Learn more about Dr. Yonit & The Steady Coach: https://thesteadycoach.com Bio Dr. Mark Lumley, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He is one of the world's leading researchers on the role that psychosocial stress and emotions play in chronic pain conditions, and he has published over 220 scientific articles. Along with his colleague, Dr. Howard Schubiner, he developed and has shown the benefits of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy--or EAET--for chronic pain. He also is a key researcher of Pain Reprocessing Therapy. He also loves mentoring and has trained nearly 50 psychologists in his laboratory over his long career. He was recently elected to become President of a national organization, the Society for Health Psychology.

120. Ask Dr Yo: How Can I Recover Without a Coach, Therapy or Spending A Lot of Money? / how do I recover from CONSTANT symptoms? PPPD, visual symptoms, MdDS + more / What Should My Daily Recovery Routine Be? (PPPD, MdDS, Vestibular Migraine & More)
00:00 Ask Dr Yo: How Can I Recover Without a Coach, Therapy or Spending A Lot of Money? Can you recover from PPPD, vestibular migraine, MdDS, or other neural circuit symptoms without coaching or paid programs? YES. Here's exactly how. A lot of recent success stories on this channel (and across the internet) feature people who worked with a coach. That can create the false impression that coaching is required. It isn't. The core principles and tools you need are available for free. In this video I cover: • Why it can look like coaching is necessary (and why that belief is often fear talking) • A few areas where coaching helps, and what you can do to guide yourself through them • The exact path I recommend: education, working with fear and symptoms, and consistent application of the basics • How to know at the 3-month mark whether you're on the right track • Why recovery often feels slow and boring ("like watching paint dry") • When (and only when) deeper stress-bucket work may be helpful • How to build your own daily recovery routine without external accountability Everything I teach is available in my free course and on this channel. You do not need to pay to recover. Free course: https://thesteadycoach.com/free-course Ask Dr. Yo playlist: • Ask Dr. Yo Stuck in Recovery video: • STUCK in Recovery: Go Deeper or Just Keep ...

This is one of THE most common questions for people dealing with ongoing dizziness from PPPD, MDDS, visual symptoms, vestibular migraine, post-concussion syndrome, visual snow syndrome, hyperacusis, and other chronic multisensory symptoms. In this unedited Ask Dr. Yo video, I cover the different patterns of constant symptoms that people experience and — most importantly — exactly how to help your brain learn that the symptoms and triggers are safe, even when they are present all the time. We discuss: Why most people actually start recovery with constant symptoms The common patterns Why the fear-attention-avoidance cycle keeps symptoms chronic The two categories of recovery tools and how to use symptom-specific techniques like somatic tracking effectively with nonstop symptoms Practical day-to-day strategies: living valued activities, facing avoided situations, brief practice sessions, and lowering your overall stress load What to do when symptoms feel too intense or debilitating You're not alone — I've seen every one of these patterns many times, and recovery is possible even starting from constant symptoms.

115. Why You're Not Recovered (Yet): It's Your Intent, Not Your Tools with Shaan Kassam
If you're struggling with chronic dizziness, panic attacks, anxiety, PPPD, vestibular migraine, MdDS or other medically unexplained physical symptoms that won't go away, this conversation reveals how to break the cycle of nervous system sensitization and achieve true recovery. In this powerful interview, Dr. Yonit Arthur (audiologist and coach) sits down with Shaan Kassam from Bye Bye Panic to share practical, actionable advice on recovering from persistent physical symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, nausea, and digestive issues. Shaan shares his personal journey from severe panic attacks, agoraphobia, and intense dizziness to full recovery, illustrating why conventional and alternative treatments often fail when dealing with a sensitized nervous system. Together, they expose the hidden traps that keep smart, motivated people stuck, including using healing tools with the wrong intent (trying to force symptoms to go away) which only reinforces the brain's threat response. What You'll Learn: The Mechanics of Sensitization: Why your brain spotlights normal vestibular feedback and magnifies symptoms like dizziness. The Tool Trap: How using breathing exercises, somatic tracking, or yoga to "fix" symptoms actually creates resistance and fuels the cycle. Leading vs. Lagging Indicators: Why you must stop tracking symptoms and instead focus on your internal and external behavioral responses. Processing vs. Reacting: The crucial difference between allowing an emotion (like frustration or anger) and creating a catastrophic story around it. Surprising the Brain: How to somatic approach discomfort to alter the brain's predictive processing loops. True Lifelong Resilience: How to take recovery one day at a time, stop chasing 100% certainty, and ultimately outgrow the game.

111. Robin's PPPD Success Story: 12 Years of Dizziness, Panic Attacks and More
Robin lived with dizziness, brain zaps, visual disturbances, panic attacks, and crushing fear for many years — hitting hardest at 46 during menopause. In this powerful success story interview, she shares her full journey from feeling like she was having a stroke, spending tens of thousands on tests at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, to finally finding relief through understanding neural circuit symptoms. She opens up about her most frightening symptoms — feeling drunk without drinking, swaying sensations, brain zaps, light sensitivity, doom, and the terrifying "this is my life forever" thoughts — and exactly what finally made the difference. Key moments in her recovery: Learning to accept sensations in the moment without fighting them Continuing to move and live life even when dizzy ("do it dizzy") Changing her relationship with symptoms from fear to curiosity Working with coach Joella using somatic tracking and deeper stress bucket work Navigating ups and downs, symptom drift (neck pain), and menopause triggers The power of success stories, community, and not isolating Robin's message is clear: Recovery is possible no matter how long you've had symptoms — even decades. You are not alone, and it does not have to be this way forever. If you're struggling with PPPD, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, visual snow, hyperacusis, post-concussion symptoms, or menopause-related symptoms, this story offers real hope and practical insight.

110. You Didn't Break Your Brain: Concussion Dizziness Recovery w Dr. Sara Chrisman
Most people heal from a concussion in days or weeks — so why do some suffer with persistent migraines, dizziness, PPPD and other symptoms for months or years? Concussion expert Dr. Sara Chrisman explains why lingering symptoms after concussion are often not from ongoing brain damage, but from stuck neural habit loops that your brain can reset. In this eye-opening interview, Dr. Sara Chrisman, MD, MPH (pediatrician, adolescent medicine specialist, and concussion researcher at Seattle Children's) joins The Steady Coach to discuss why concussion research supports a bio-psychosocial approach to persistent symptoms like chronic dizziness, vestibular issues, headaches, and post-concussion syndrome. She shares powerful reassurance: you have not ruined your brain forever. The brain healing phase is usually complete within weeks or a couple months, and lingering symptoms are often your brain's protective fear response that can be retrained through safety messaging, somatic tracking, pain reprocessing principles (PRT), emotional awareness and expression (EAET), and addressing underlying threat in the stress bucket. This conversation bridges concussion recovery with vestibular migraine, PPPD, and other neuroplastic chronic dizziness — showing that the same mind-body tools apply whether symptoms started with a head injury or another trigger. Key takeaways from Dr. Chrisman: • Why most people fully recover from concussion quickly, and what keeps symptoms going • The role of anxiety, prior stress, trauma, and fear-avoidance in prolonging dizziness and pain • How to break the neural habit loop with somatic tracking and safety reappraisal • When vestibular therapy helps vs. when it reinforces fear • Practical ways to have a conversation with your body instead of just "listening" to symptoms • Why you can recover even years later — neuroplasticity works at any age • The importance of sleep, enjoyable movement, social connection, and reducing overall stress Resources: -Crisp Study: https://crispstudy.org -Empower Lab - Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development: https://www.seattlechildrens.org/rese... -Free course: https://thesteadycoach.com/free-course -Brain exercises: • Brain Exercises Subscribe and hit the notification bell for more interviews and success stories on chronic dizziness, vestibular migraine, post-concussion syndrome, PPPD, neuroplastic symptoms, and mind-body recovery. #PostConcussionSyndrome #VestibularMigraine #PPPD #ConcussionRecovery #ChronicDizziness #NeuroplasticPain #SomaticTracking #ConcussionDizziness #MindBodyHealing #SuccessStory Learn more about Dr. Yonit and The Steady Coach on our website: https://thesteadycoach.com For more free education and information from The Steady Coach, please visit our YouTube channel and website: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thesteadycoach Free Healing Chronic Dizziness Course: https://thesteadycoach.com/free-course Instagram: @therealsteadycoach Our website: https://thesteadycoach.com DISCLAIMER: Please note that Yonit Arthur, The Steady Coach and any of our guests are not acting as an audiologist nor offering audiology or medical services or advice on any public videos or on any other content.

109. Seraphina's Vestibular Migraine + PPPD Recovery: 4 Years of 24/7 Symptoms Gone in Weeks
After 4 years of severe chronic dizziness, vestibular migraine, PPPD, panic attacks, oscillopsia, and supermarket syndrome — she got her life back in just weeks. No more 24/7 symptoms. Here's exactly how Seraphina did it. In this powerful success story, bestselling thriller author Seraphina Nova Glass shares how sudden dizziness hit her at the gym, led to a terrifying (and incorrect) stroke diagnosis, and spiraled into years of debilitating vestibular symptoms that no specialist, diet, medication, or therapy could fix. She tried everything: raw vegan for 2 years, elimination diets, nervous system resets, hormones for perimenopause, vestibular therapy, acupuncture, and more — all while hiding her suffering from almost everyone. Then one key insight changed everything: "All pain comes from the brain." Radical acceptance + somatic tracking + understanding neuroplastic symptoms and the stress bucket finally ended her symptoms for good — and they've stayed gone for 9+ months. What you'll learn in this interview: • How misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting prolonged her suffering • Why traditional treatments for vestibular migraine often fail • The exact moment radical acceptance clicked for her • How she used somatic tracking without obsession or urgency • Practical ways to lower your stress bucket (even with a "good" life) • Why symptoms can jump around and how to handle it • That quick recovery IS possible — even after years of symptoms Seraphina is a two-time Edgar Award-nominated author living in Dallas with her husband and Boston Terrier. Her latest domestic thriller "Too Close to Home" releases April 14, 2026. Learn more about her on her website https://seraphinanovaglass.com/ and her publisher's website https://www.harpercollins.com/product.... You can order her book anywhere books are sold.

108. How OCD Hijacks Dizziness & Symptom Recovery (And the New Way to Break Free) with Melissa Mose
If you're dealing with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, or other neural circuit symptoms but feel stuck—no matter what recovery tools you try—OCD or obsessive-compulsive thought patterns could be silently hijacking your progress. In this powerful interview, Dr. Yonit Arthur (The Steady Coach) sits down with Melissa Mose, licensed marriage and family therapist and pioneer in blending Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD in health anxiety and somatic symptoms. Learn why standard safety messages, reassurance seeking, and mental checking can actually reinforce the dizziness loop instead of breaking it. Discover how OCD-like patterns create a "no done button" cycle that keeps symptoms persisting, and the compassionate, self-led approach that helps you finally move forward with curiosity instead of fixing. Melissa shares practical insights on mental rituals vs. true information-seeking, why ERP sometimes falls short for dizziness recovery, and how parts work makes exposure more effective and less overwhelming. If you've been told your dizziness is "incurable" or feel like you know what to do but can't stop the "what ifs," this conversation will shift everything.

107. Health Anxiety Is Locking In Your Dizziness & Symptoms – How to Break Free w/ Drew Linsalata
Health anxiety is NOT just stress — it's often the hidden driver keeping chronic dizziness, PPPD (persistent postural-perceptual dizziness), vestibular migraine, MDDS, and neural circuit symptoms locked in place long after any initial trigger is gone. In this powerful interview, Dr. Yonit Arthur (The Steady Coach) sits down with Drew Linsalata from The Anxious Truth — therapist, author, and anxiety disorders expert who's helped thousands recover. They break down: The difference between normal anxiety (everyone has it) and an anxiety disorder where the feeling itself becomes the problem Why trying to "calm down," regulate your nervous system, do vagus nerve exercises, breathing techniques, or "rewire" your brain forcefully often backfires in health anxiety How control, avoidance, compulsions (mental Googling, checking symptoms, reassurance-seeking) feed the cycle and make dizziness worse The real path forward: acceptance, "doing nothing" about the fear, riding the wave, exposure-like willingness, and letting sensations peak & pass naturally Why full recovery from neural circuit dizziness and medically unexplained chronic symptoms IS possible — even if you've been told it's permanent Disagreements (and agreements!) between vestibular/coaching approaches and anxiety disorder treatment If you're stuck in rumination, doubt, fear of symptoms, 24/7 dizziness/unsteadiness, or health anxiety loops, this conversation could change how you approach recovery.

106. From "Manage It" to Actually Lowering Dizziness + Symptoms – Pain Scientist Dr. Rachel Zoffness
Dr. Rachel Zoffness on why chronic symptoms like dizziness, vestibular migraine, MdDS & PPPD often persist even when tests are normal – the brain-body connection explained. From "manage it forever" to actually lowering symptom volume using pain science, neuroplasticity & the biopsychosocial model. In this powerful interview on The Steady Coach, pain scientist and clinical psychologist Dr. Rachel Zoffness explains why chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, tinnitus, and other neural circuit symptoms often persist even when tests are normal. Drawing from her work in chronic pain, she breaks down the brain-body interplay, neuroplasticity, and the full bio-psycho-social model – showing how emotions, attention, social isolation, and behaviors amplify symptoms, while safety signals, agency, and connection dial them down. Dr. Z challenges the common "learn to manage it forever" messages many with dizziness hear from doctors, offering instead a clear "symptom recipe" approach: identify your high-symptom ingredients (poor sleep, stress, avoidance, catastrophic thinking) and swap them for low-symptom ones (better rest, movement, social engagement, reframing thoughts). She covers why monitoring symptoms can backfire, the role of trauma and hypervigilance, and how biofeedback and multidisciplinary support create real change – not just coping. Whether you're stuck in information overload, frustrated by "it's chronic" dismissals, or searching for practical ways to turn down dizziness volume, this conversation bridges pain science directly to vestibular/neural circuit recovery with evidence-based hope and tools.

105. Tinnitus & Hyperacusis… GONE?! Real Recovery, Not Just Management
Tinnitus and hyperacusis recovery is possible — real patients are experiencing silence again after being told it would last forever. In this interview, audiologist Pippa shares how modern neuroscience (predictive brain, nocebo, danger signals) is changing everything. In this powerful interview, audiologist and coach Pippa (NHS and private practice) joins Dr. Yonit Arthur to reveal why tinnitus and hyperacusis can actually resolve — not just be "managed" or "lived with." Pippa shares jaw-dropping patient stories: lifelong tinnitus disappearing completely, profound hearing loss patients hearing silence again, musicians returning to gigs without fear, and people waking up to no tinnitus after decades of noise. We explain why the old model ("it's permanent, learn to cope") is outdated, how the brain's prediction machine (predictive processing) turns normal nerve activity into loud, threatening tinnitus or painful sound sensitivity (hyperacusis), and why telling someone "it can't go away" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy via nocebo. We cover the real drivers — nervous system danger signaling, fear of the sound, emotional stress, and how changing beliefs and responses can turn the volume down or eliminate the symptom entirely. Key topics: Why neuroscience is 10+ years ahead of clinical guidelines Predictive coding: how the brain amplifies "danger" sounds Real recovery stories (including total silence after lifelong tinnitus) Why "management" and "coping" language keeps symptoms stuck Psychoeducation, response change, emotional safety, and self-compassion Practical steps to start reducing or resolving tinnitus/hyperacusis Whether you have tinnitus, hyperacusis, misophonia, sound-induced pain, or post-concussion sound sensitivity, this conversation offers real hope and a different path forward.

104. Janell's Vestibular Migraine Success Story: From 24/7 Hell with Dizziness & Vertigo to Full Recovery
Vestibular migraine recovery is possible — even after years of 24/7 chronic dizziness, vertigo, panic, and feeling like you're in hell. Janelle shares her raw, emotional journey from childhood panic attacks to debilitating vestibular symptoms — and full freedom today. In this inspiring interview, Janelle opens up about: Childhood onset of panic attacks, nystagmus-like sensations, and evolving into vertigo & dizziness The terrifying "last day of her previous life" in April 2022, evolving into constant rocking, swaying, motion sickness, Alice in Wonderland syndrome, derealization, brain fog, and suicidal-level despair Dismissive doctors, endless tests (MRI, VNG, ENT visits), misdiagnoses, vestibular migraine label, strict low-sodium diets, weight loss, and fear-driven spirals The turning point: discovering neural circuit dizziness (mind-body symptoms), somatic tracking, compassionate body scans, turning toward fear, and deep self-compassion work Breakthroughs in understanding her body as a protector — not broken — and releasing core beliefs around being a burden, chaos, abandonment fears, and childhood patterns How she moved from bedbound isolation to vacations, motherhood without limits, no food restrictions (yes — even chocolate, cheese, tomatoes, bananas!), and 6+ months vertigo-free Why vestibular rehab helped initially but mind-body tools (somatic tracking, guided exposures, disconfirmation of limiting beliefs) delivered lasting recovery If you're struggling with PPPD, vestibular migraine, MdDS, chronic dizziness, visual disturbances, sensory overload, anxiety-driven vertigo, or feeling "broken," Janelle's story proves: You are not broken.
