I get that you need to run a business and we all need to be employed, but the fact that you share SO much open and freely online means that you can possibly change lives of those who 1:1 is not accessible. This is truly amazing and a service to humans 🎉 Thank

[cydsnest]

Dear Tanner, Thank you so much for sharing your journey❤❤❤I went walking yesterday with my friend, and it was super obvious how much more comfortable I was in my body walking than I was before I started somatic tracking.

[rukmalwanigasinghe]

You give so much information that is not available to many people. You are such a noble person. Wishing you and your family well!

[SarahLabbett]

I need that so much. Please write a book Tanner you are brilliant

[carolinelawrie]

Thanks Tanner for this story of recovery, I'm very grateful to have found you here as I move through my own journey of recovery. Your videos are helping me a lot 😊

[AnnaVallin-Hogland]

Thank you Tanner for this honest video and for all the work you do 💚 I'm recovering from Long Covid and am so glad I found your channel! Wish you all the best! 🌷

this may be a silly point, but maybe if you put “chronic pain” as well as mind body/neuroplastic pain in the title and descriptions, the algorithm may send you more people. not a lot of people sadly search neuroplastic or mindbody but way more are searching chronic pain

[wmurthy]

Thank you so much for sharing. It helps us a lot 🙏🙏

[theresamaitland]

Thanks for your honest, heartfelt information and this and all your videos. I’m beginning to think all of what I’m going through was all neural plastic. I’ve been working with an audiologist from Australia to espouse as many of your issues for vestibular problems. You are an inspiration and a wonderful therapist.

So glad you are talking about Dr Sarno and Dr Shubiner. Glad I found your channel. This mind body work is how I'm back to living but I'm still not all the way back to all the activities. The fear is still there even tho the pain has reduced from a consistent 8-9 to a 0-1. Going to therapy and doing the work.

Thankyou so so much for sharing your story, Tanner, and for your vulnerability. New follower here ❤

Hello from another highly sensitive person. I too was bullied in my childhood, though was taught to fight back by my amazing mother, thankfully. (I too had loving parents.) But that trauma can get trapped in the muscles and we develop hyper-vigilance that may not ease and that is easily triggered. We don't learn to shake it off the way animals do. Doing Chi Gong, shaking and dancing, havening, and trauma work with books from Peter Levine and James S. Gordon have all helped - but you have a wonderful piece of the puzzle that is helping me get over the top, reduce my tension and lifelong activation and hypervigilance (I was born early because of a violent car accident), and get back to the ventral vagal state that I love so well.

I call it "being in the flow" and life is magical when you can be there more often! Thanks for helping me find that again. I am quite confidence the MEFM that worsened after 6 years of being in remission will begin to fade away soon, the pain is beginning to lessen or to spike then calm at a lower level, and the relaxation is extraordinary. Knowledge is power - and you are empowering so many people with these wonderful videos!

Thank you for telling your story, Tanner. Very inspiring❣

[JaneStanton]

Thank you for telling us your story, I too found help through YouTube after having a slight suspicion I had nervous pain. You are one of the first people I came across a couple of months ago. I also found pandiculation helpful, slow rocking and rolling around on my bed, listening to my body and releasing somatically that way. I listened to what the pain needed and talked to it coaxing out the emotions hiding behind it. I am starting to get my life back again.
So I can't thank you enough for putting your advice out there for us to find. 🙏🏻😊💚 Im glad you have your beautiful family and life back.

Hi tanner. I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, and i have been watching/ practicing with you every day since. Even before watching your personal healing story, i felt that you "get me". I don't feel that with most healers out there. after watching this video i understand. I, too, am a highly sensitive person. Unfortunately, my parents weren't understanding and loving at all. Can i make a video suggestion: i would love it if you could explain the highly sensitive trait and how that person/ nervous system works differently. I find it really importan because some people with that trait spend years trying to heal with healing models way too intense for their nervous system but work for their siblings/ friends, leaving them wondering what they are doing wrong and if healing may just be impossible for them. Thank you for your beautiful videos. God bless you.

Back in some of my deepest TMS times, a psysiatrist said I "have big nerves". I laughed when I came to that part in your video! I relate a lot to your story, thank you for sharing.

Was anyone else told "If you show that the bullying bothers you, they bully you more!" ? What a horrible way to learn to shove your feelings down as a child.

[freddomptail]

Thanks Tanner for your amazing videos. I am recovering from Long Covid and your videos are incredibly useful.

[nicknorizadeh]

Thanks Tanner you really openend up my eyes to Somatic tracking. This has begun to eliminate my chronic psychosomatic pain in my stomach! 😊

[josephinevanner]

Thank you for sharing your journey, it was very uplifting to hear and has given me confidence that I too can recover from MBS.
