The Steady Coach

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.

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.

Maura's inspiring recovery story from severe hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) from post-concussion syndrome – from unbearable everyday noise pain to full life again. Hyperacusis recovery is possible: discover the mind-body tools and mindset shifts that helped her heal when doctors said there was no cure. In this powerful 1.5-hour interview on The Steady Coach channel, Maura openly shares her journey recovering from debilitating hyperacusis and post-concussion syndrome following a traumatic fall. She describes how ordinary sounds – running water, dishes clinking, even family voices – became excruciatingly painful, forcing her into isolation and constant ear protection. Told by specialists that her condition could only be managed and that full recovery wasn't possible, Maura reached a breaking point… until she found the right guidance combining nervous system education, brown noise therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Curable, and essential emotional work. Today, she functions fully in the world again – enjoying family meals, work, concerts, and everyday life without fear leading the way. Whether you're struggling with hyperacusis, tinnitus, misophonia, PPPD, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, or other neural circuit symptoms, Maura's story offers real hope and practical insights: recovery often starts with understanding that these symptoms are driven by a sensitized nervous system, not permanent ear damage.

Join me as I interview Dr. Anders Sorensen, PhD, a clinical psychologist, researcher, and expert in psychiatric drug withdrawal. This comprehensive discussion addresses chronic dizziness, the fallacies of psychiatric medications, and the process of tapering off such drugs. Dr. Sorensen shares insights from his book 'Crossing Zero', offering hope and practical advice for those dealing with prolonged withdrawal symptoms. We delve into the importance of understanding medication effects, the proper way to taper, and the role of the nervous system in healing. This episode is essential for anyone considering or currently on psychiatric medication for conditions such as chronic dizziness, PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine, tinnitus, hyperacusis, or other multisensory symptoms.
