Do I have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain?

In order to make this process simple to understand, I've put this "Getting Started" page together for you.

Disclaimer: Before you begin, it is your responsibility to rule out anything significant or life-threatening with your doctor. (cancers, tumors, infections, fractures or serious disease). Once you have ruled out the serious medical issues, you can proceed to rule IN a mindbody condition with the assessments below.

This page will help you understand what is going on and what to do next.

Foundational Information: Understanding Pain

Watch the first video in my Fast Start Playlist about Perceived Danger Pain: http://DansFastStart.com. This explains SO much of what is going on.

Next Step:

Determining if your pain is from TMS/PDP: You should take BOTH assessments. Yes, it's THAT important for you to gain certaintly into what is going on. Here are the two assessments.

Step 1: Take the Pain Test:

http://DanBuglio.com/paintest - A score of 29 or more means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain or symptoms. This means your body is NOT the cause of your pain or symptoms. This also means you CAN end your symptoms. If it is slightly less than 29, don't panic. It is still possible that it's TMS/PDP. Sometimes the more doubt and fear we have, the more consistent our symptoms are and the lower the score.

Step 2: Take the FIT ASSESSMENT.

Just read the questions below and make a note of how many true answers you give. If you answer true or yes to even one of the criteria, that means that your brain is creating the pain based on perceived danger. Your body is not the problem. This is wonderful news. Feel free to go through these questions indivitually for each symptom.

FUNCTIONAL:

-Symptoms begin without physical precipitation
-Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo)
-Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric
-Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso
-Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body
-Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm
-Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time
-Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold

INCONSISTENT:

-Symptoms shift from one location in the body to another
-Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night.
-Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise
-Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about them.
-Symptoms occur when stresses increase or one thinks about stressful situations
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement

TRIGGERED:

-symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptoms, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather
-symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctor's visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities
-symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing
-symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold

Why Work With Me?

After discovering this mind-body connection to pain 24 years ago, I have been spending countless thousands of hours studying everything I can about this concept. Initially it was all in an attempt to solve my own back pain and sciatica pain challenge. Now I continue to study and participate in learning as much as possible so I can help others become pain free like I was able to do.

Over 30 years of scientific and neuro-scientific research has shown that the real case of chronic and ongoing pain is not "medical" or physical in nature. That’s why there was no chance that your doctor, surgeon, chiropractor or physical therapist could have provided more than temporary relief at best. They call it pain management because you have to constantly manage your pain.

The reason my approach will work for you is because I’ll help you eliminate the real cause of your pain and I’ll do that in a way that is easy to understand and highly personalized for you. I want you to have the physical freedom that you were always meant to have.

Why Hire Dan As Your Personal Coach?

The Mindbody TMS space has become cluttered and complicated. There are tons of "experts" with approaches that are supposed to fix you. I'll help you break through the confusion and simplify these concepts in a way that you may not have seen before.

This simplification came from deep study and personal experience. Make sure to select a coach who has a history of pain or illness who has been through it and can relate to your journey.

Working with me will give you a simple, safe, step-by-step method to banish back and body pain — permanently – regardless of your X-Rays or MRI results.

Consider me your personal tour guide for your journey to a pain-free future.

Who Is This Not For?

If you want someone to fix or cure you, this may not be for you. The Pain Free You process I recommend and use with my clients requires your active involvement. If you are not willing to open your mind, understand the simply way I map this out for you and make some subtle changes to how you see your pain and body, I'm not sure I can help you.
If you have a closed mind and are unwilling to consider that something else is going on that could be causing your pain, this isn't probably for you.
If you think this is all "hogwash" and that you have a "REAL" problem... You may be walking away from the ONLY thing that could actually end your pain.
If you are 100% convinced you have a REAL physical problem and refuse to consider any other possibility, this won't work for you.
If you find what I'm sharing on this website to be insulting to you, I can't help you.

Look, nobody is calling you crazy or saying your pain is imagined or all in your head. Your pain IS real. Your brain creates the pain based on perceived danger. It's just not caused by what you've been led to believe by your doctors.

There is a way out.

There IS a light at the end of the tunnel.

The good news is that now you are in the right tunnel.
