The Real Source of The Problem

"If
you really look
after yourself and learn to get in touch
with
how you are feeling inside and learn to process that, that is the way
out of tinnitus. Most people spend their whole lives running away from
themselves, filling their lives with furious frantic activity, proving
this, doing that. The best thing you can do is sit with yourself and
notice how you are, how you are treating yourself. And if you can treat
yourself with loving kindness and really accept how you are with a
really wonderful, open-hearted, deep, caring approach, just like you
would mother a baby, for example. If you can really look after
yourself, your nervous system will change. Nothing is fixed. Everything
is constantly changing and flowing, and it is entirely dependent on the
way you approach yourself. Look after yourself, and your tinnitus will
back off."
Wow,
good stuff...
“I REALLY appreciate your asking Julian about my questions this morning! You posed them in such a clear and dear way and protective of my ‘identity”. It is amazing that I was home and able to listen. I had over slept, (I am on vacation) had missed an early appointment for my car and so I called, cancelled it and looked on my computer and it was 8 minutes to the broadcast! Was I surprised, delighted and grateful to hear you both discuss the issues that are pressing me. I thank you. I also am taking your website and Julian’s advice and working on awareness of RED-ALERT and difficulty surrendering or relaxing into support. Wow, good stuff. Julian reminds me a bit of Ekhart Tolle. Doesn’t he you? And funny to say, you remind me of myself when you are questioning him! With gratitude”

"It's
not unethical

totally
incorrect. In fact, if I go back and I look at the cases that I've
worked on, and I've worked with thousands of people over a decade, and
the vast majority, are either dramatically better, or their tinnitus is
gone. One of the two."

"I can
say in good
conscience that tinnitus is curable. That's

bottom line: that tinnitus is curable, and I dare say, for just about
everyone who comes down with it."
Please don't tell the ATA

such an

it's just because I'm out in the backyard looking at the stars thanking
the universe for what it has given to me, and I go 'how did I get to
this point?" Oh yeah tinnitus helped me get here. Let's listen to it
for a second, let's pay hommage to the tinnitus for a second and go
thanks you did some good work. Thank you.

Literally clearing the fog from 20 years of T
"the information, research, support, and shows with dainis and julian are literally clearing the fog of the T i have endured for 20 years. it’s not about the ears it’s about the body and soul. i’m sure ancient wisdom had more answers to T than the entire medical community has at this time. this site is really quite groundbreaking."

Hi,
I just wanted to say that I am reading the book Julian mentioned in his book - Waking the Tiger. It’s a positive and enlightening read. Thanks…another piece of the puzzle.
s.
Sometimes, you hear of a person who has some sort of break-through moment, and the tinnitus vanishes as quickly as it came. It is hard not to seek such a “moment.” However, from reading Julian’s book, it strikes me, that this is frequently not how things happen (in fact, I remember him saying that often while one is processing his or her issues that the tinnitus might even get or seem worse as we confront ourselves, even in our “negative” aspects. And I wonder if there can be some danger in thinking in terms of the one “cathartic” experience that will cause the tinnitus to flee all at once. It seems that you can really set yourself up for the saboteur: “I did ‘x’ and and the tinnitus isn’t better; so now things must be hopeless!” Or, I find that it can be really easy to always be checking the tinnitus. If you check and find things the tinnitus hasn’t changed or is maybe even a little worse, this is fertile soil for the sabatoer! So, I am wondering what Julian’s experience was with letting go. It strikes me that it was more long and gradual rather than the “breakthrough-then-tinnitus-goes experience.
Secondly — and related — I sometimes get confused between checking the tinnitus and looking at it as a teacher. Perhaps I am still too early in the process to think in terms of “tinnitus as teacher”, but I have the sense that it is not good to be always checking the tinnitus — as if one were constantly asking a teacher “I am doing this right” “I am doing that right…” Yet, obviously, to learn from a teacher, you’ve got to listen to it. So I am wondering if Julian can speak a little to the difference between “checking,” which I find tends to lead to anxiety and is generally negative, and consulting a teacher, which should be a positive thing.
Final question, has Julian found that there are any negatives to doing TRT — other than the financial hit that you take!
hello T….fortunately i had some breakthrhough moments during TRT-unfortunately i wasn’t aware how it happened, except that i suppose the TRT believed what she was telling me(it was all believable to me also)she had seen many people recover and / or move on. there is an element of blind faith involved. you WILL also improve and more as you are in the right place…it takes time to for all the information and new conciousness to “sink in - and continue with the well being that jules talks about. i have also found cranio sacral sessions to realease that old and dreary and i must say life treatening at the time - drama energy from my body.
after 20 years of T things i can truly say i am moving up and out-really. i couldn’t have said these words with conviction 4 months ago.
keep well,
s
at times through my healing from T i have noticed quite an internal reisitance to the process. it’s that negative voice saying “this won’t work, don’t get your hopes up…”
as i am felling relief and healing is actually happening the resistance is much less and i can counter it-T is so much like that expression “better the devil you know, tha the devil you don’t”.
can you comment….thank you both
ps-where do you plant the “liberation” trees? whay type of tree is it? although i’m not focused on my liberation tree, it recently crossed my mind.
just curious.
s
Does Julian have any thoughts about the use of short-acting benzos such as Ativan which I am taking and work very well to bring the level of tinnitus way down and about withdrawal syndrome from long term use of benzos? I had been on a long-acting benzo, Klonopin, prior to this for 15 YEARS. I was weaned off that last year and put on Ativan 1 mg. 2-3 times a day or as needed for anxiety. I guess my question is: I read somewhere that WITHDRAWAL from long term use of a benzo like Klonopin can contribute to tinnitus formation/ activation. Do you agree? What about switching to a short-acting benzo (Ativan) that is working quite well to quell the tinnitus, so much so that I want to stay on it long term.
Hi S! This is T from above. Just want to say thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like you had a positive experience with TRT. How long ago did you do it? Sounds as well like you’ve made a lot of progress in past 4 months! I am truly happy for you! It’s not an easy question, but to what do you most attribute this change?
Thanks again!

Member Profile:
As much as I would like say that I am, I am not really doing the CTO program. I have no job, no health insurance, my spouse is also unemployed. I’m educated, very smart, and I hate my under-paying under-stimulating job.
I don’t WANT to work in an office at a desk 9-5 in a boring job. I hate it. I’ve always hated it AND HATED MYSELF for not being able to focus on a REAL CAREER that would have been intellectually stimulating and enjoyable.
I have a Master’s Degree in X, but never did anything with it
I have an anxiety disorder
I have OCD
I am fearful of starting over in a new job
I got laid off from a prestigious place
But I am not all about my illness. I have a lot of strength too. I have the help of
a good cognitive behavioral therapist, though I have not allowed myself the full program of body and mental therapy, partially due to financial restrictions.
I’m hearing a high pitched squealing as I sit here writing to you but although I am “aware” of it I can push it aside and continue writing to you. For me, it was the PURE REASSURANCE and COMFORT of listening to you and Julian talk about T that helped me. I felt so relaxed and “safe” after a few of the shows, knew I wasn’t alone, knew it wouldn’t kill me, knew it would probably go away after a while.
hello tf,
it took over a year or so of TRT to really have a breakthrough. now i was seeing the audiologist about every 3 months for 30 min. also there were periods of time i had to cancel appts. due to work or travel. luckily i had a very good prof. relationship with her.
she believed in me and my ability to “heal”. it took me weeks to actually listen to the nightime background nature sounds as i had resistance. the TRT theory rang true to me from the beginning. so, i had a couple of days of clarity-a window to what could be. this is as far as it went with TRT-unfortunately i had a very sad few years with my beloved mother at the end of her life. i was her primary caregiver(the best and worst years of my life,and the most loving and deeply meaningful in my life)need less to say TRT was again on the back burner. about 6 months after her passing i came upon this website and was in the right place and time to continue with healing.
for me TRT brought me to a small clearing in the forest- i hung onto it. for me the more info the better and this website offers sound advice and wisdom from those that have healed or or on their way. i have been around a block or 2 with meds-there is no pill that i am aware of that cures tinnitus-BUT they have been a most helpful tool .
TRT can’t hurt-it helped me-but keep in mind the life long program of well-being stuff.(also lose any recreational drugs or excessive drinking from your life if you need to) TRT was my stepping stone to this site.
i hope this helps… s
