How healthcare professionals talk about chronic dizziness can either open the door to recovery… or keep patients stuck for years. In this panel, five people who have dealt with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, MDDS, post-concussion symptoms, and related neural circuit conditions share the exact words and approaches from doctors, neurologists, ENTs, vestibular therapists, and other practitioners that either helped them move forward — or made their symptoms worse. You'll hear real stories about: Language that creates hope vs. language that creates despair Why "there's nothing more we can do" is so damaging How well-intentioned practitioners can accidentally reinforce fear and hypervigilance What patients actually needed to hear after normal test results Why belief in the possibility of recovery is a prerequisite for getting better This conversation is for two audiences: If you're living with chronic dizziness or vestibular symptoms — this will help you understand why certain medical experiences left you more anxious or stuck, and what kind of support actually helps recovery. If you're a healthcare professional (physician, neurologist, ENT, physical therapist, vestibular therapist, or other provider) — this is a rare chance to hear directly from recovered patients about the enormous impact your words and framing have on long-term outcomes. The mind and body are connected. The nervous system is involved. And the way we communicate that truth matters.

If you're struggling with functional neurological symptoms, FND, chronic dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, PPPD, vestibular migraine or other unexplained neurological symptoms, this interview with NHS neurologist Prof. Richard Grunewald reveals why these symptoms are real, reversible neuroplastic responses rather than permanent structural damage. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Yonit Arthur talks with Professor Richard Grunewald about how the emotional brain can interfere with movement, sensation, attention, and symptom "volume." Prof. Grunewald breaks down how to identify functional symptoms—from non-epileptic attacks to chronic pain, tremors, and weakness—and explains why years of stress or difficult life circumstances often set the stage before a minor trigger turns symptoms on. What You'll Learn: • What functional neurological symptoms really are and how neural circuits create them • How the emotional brain acts as a "dictator" over your nervous system and sensory volume control • The key differences between trauma-linked dissociative attacks and chronic functional symptoms • Why minor triggers like illness, accidents, procedures, or overwork can activate severe symptom loops • Practical pathways to recovery: psychotherapy, emotional reconnection, pacing, and OT support • Cautious medication management and the role of supportive non-drug tools (massage, acupuncture, relaxation) 00:00 Intro 07:05 What Are Functional Disorders? 09:15 How to Know If Symptoms Are Functional (Neural Circuit) 27:06 Chronic Functional Symptoms - A Different Process 37:00 Normal Response to Life Circumstances, Not Illness 42:59 What Helps People with Chronic Functional Symptoms 52:47 How the Emotional Brain Is Involved 57:56 What About Medication? 01:03:46 How Can You Get Help?

If you are struggling with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, or a constant feeling of being off-balance, this video reveals how Stephie fully recovered after more than a year of daily symptoms. In this inspiring interview on The Steady Coach, Stephie—a mom of three and former teacher—shares her path from postpartum stress and non-spinning "drunk" dizziness to complete recovery through nervous system regulation, acceptance, and mind-body tools. What You'll Learn: How postpartum stress and pandemic anxiety triggered chronic dizziness and visual symptoms Navigating the "doctor carousel" and normal test results with PPPD and vestibular migraine Why obsessively tracking symptoms and triggers keeps your nervous system trapped in threat mode How practicing neutral self-talk, somatic tracking, and acceptance rewires neural circuits Releasing perfectionism, control, and the urge to "fix" symptoms to allow true healing The role of mind-body therapy, support systems, and self-compassion in full recovery Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:48 Symptoms Begin Postpartum 05:12 ER MRI and Fear Spiral 07:35 Doctor Carousel and Tests 09:50 Vestibular Migraine Clue 11:14 Life Taken Over 13:07 Home Triggers and Rabbit Holes 15:22 Journaling and Trigger Trap 17:00 PPPD Breakthrough and Acceptance 20:36 Neurobiology Explained 22:13 Recovery Tools and Therapy 25:31 Naming The Sensation 26:14 Neuroplasticity Reframe 27:35 Acceptance Not Distraction 30:18 Practicing Neutral Self Talk 32:19 Support And Self Compassion 34:54 How Loved Ones Help 37:12 Letting Go Of Control 41:37 Life After Recovery 44:09 Final Advice And Hope 45:58 You Are Not Alone 46:32 Wrap Up And Subscribe Resources & Links: Free course for dizziness recovery → https://thesteadycoach.com/free-course The Steady Coach Group Coaching → https://thesteadycoach.com/standard-c...

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...

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.

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.

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.

If you are struggling with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, FND, or unexplained neurological symptoms, this interview with Yale neurologist Dr. Dario Zagar reveals how neuroplastic methods and symptom reprocessing can help you recover. In this deep-dive conversation, Dr. Yonit Arthur (audiologist and coach) speaks with Dr. Dario Zagar, MD about why over 50% of chronic neurological symptoms have a neuroplastic component. Learn how conditions like persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), chronic pain, fibromyalgia, brain fog, visual disturbances, and migraines get trapped in the nervous system—and how you can break the loop. Dr. Zagar breaks down the mechanics of sensory misprocessing, how anticipatory anxiety fuels chronic symptoms, and why recovery is entirely possible even if you've been suffering for years. Key Topics Covered: • Why over 50% of chronic neurological cases have a neuroplastic component • How PPPD, vestibular migraine, and functional neurological disorder (FND) get wired into the brain • Understanding migraine as both genetic and programmable • How "what if" thinking, fear, and visual dependence keep your nervous system in threat mode • Inspiring case study: Full recovery after 6+ years of chronic symptoms and multiple failed interventions • Why duration myths are false and progress in recovery is often non-linear • The 4 essential keys to nervous system healing and symptom reprocessing Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:56 Dr. Zagar Background 04:12 Neuroplastic Symptom Types 07:16 His Training Journey 16:46 Genes And Migraine 21:14 Agency Over Anxiety 27:35 Starting Reprocessing Therapy 32:40 Explaining PPPD 37:00 Why Recovery Varies 38:15 Anxiety Fuels The Loop 41:32 Case Study: Getting Unstuck 45:42 Duration Myths And Hope 47:50 Emotions Safety And Identity 54:02 Perfectionism And Health Anxiety 57:19 Four Keys To Recovery 01:01:46 Resources And Farewell Resources & Links: Dr. Zagar's Instagram → @dariozagarmd Dr. Zagar's profile → https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/dar...

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.

Dr. Howard Schubiner returns to The Steady Coach to reveal groundbreaking insights on why most chronic symptoms — including dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, PPPD, visual snow, vestibular migraine, and more — are neuroplastic and fully reversible. In this powerful interview, learn how your brain creates and maintains symptoms through predictive processing, why structural damage is rarely the real issue in chronic cases, and how the brain can turn symptoms on… and off. Dr. Schubiner shares the latest research on Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), symptom reprocessing, and practical ways to break the neural circuits keeping you stuck. Key Topics Covered: • Why 90% of chronic symptoms are neuroplastic (not permanent damage) • The power of predictive processing and the salience network • How the brain can cause real symptoms like dizziness, spinning, tinnitus, and visual disturbances • Why symptoms persist even after the original trigger is gone • The role of emotions, stress, and trauma in chronic conditions • Latest research on EAET vs CBT for symptom recovery • Self-compassion and nervous system regulation Resources: Website of Dr. Howard Schubiner: https://unlearnyourpain.com/ Unlearn Your Pain by Dr. Howard Schubiner: https://www.amazon.com/Unlearn-Your-P...

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.
