    I really enjoyed demonstrating some modes of working with our inner experience ---with awareness, self-compassion, and defending against the Inner Critic. Enjoy!

    Thank you Andy!
    This is great! I have some things that cause me a lot of internal pressure coming up (back to work!) and I love that you have a real example of how to do this method of work. I’ve read about it but your explanation is so much more “real” especially about the subtleties.

    Wow, this video really helped! Thank you @Andy Bayliss and thank you @Cactusflower for recommending it to me. Just saying you are loving enough, so simple but so more expansive than I am enough. I could fill in the blank with so many other adjectives and feel peace.

    Bumping this! Great interview, Andy, thanks for posting it. I think you very effectively describe your process for self talk and self compassion, two key components to healing imo.

    It's only 30 minutes, folks, so do yourself a favor and watch it!

    No clue, @Tmswarrior32. This was three months ago and I don't pay attention to physical details, only to the tools for self-healing. I would advise watching the video, because as I mentioned in response to one of your many questions on a bunch of old posts, you are in panic mode and you are not thinking rationally. IF you can watch this short video while ignoring the physical details and instead listening to the emotional work, you will receive the benefit of Andy's wisdom, because listening to him is like receiving personal coaching. He is in fact a TMS coach.

    If you also revisit Dr. Sarno as I recommended in another post, you will be reminded that physical details of symptoms are irrelevant, and obsessing about them only increases the vicious cycle of anxiety, self-judgement, self-pressure, and thus pain.

    Whatever your symptoms are, you already know that they are not life threatening, therefore you have to calm down your fearful brain and gently thank it, but firmly reject its desire to have you get all riled up about the physical, and to turn your attention to concentrate solely on the psychological. With commitment.

    I sure wish you luck.
