Why do so many people with PPPD have difficulties driving? And why do many people with PPPD (and MdDS) have NO problems in the car? And... why do some people just have constant symptoms without being affected by driving? Watch to get the answers to these questions and to find out when vestibular rehab exercises can help and why they often don't. I then talk more about the approach I take with people I'm helping who have not been helped by exercises.

00:00 Intro
00:49 The three main patterns that occur when driving/being in a car with neural circuit dizziness
01:47 All three patterns are caused by a brain prediction error
03:50 Why there are often variations in symptoms from situation to situation
04:07 What is happening to your senses in passive motion vs active motion
06:44 Differences in the messages from your senses need to be properly interpreted by the brain
08:43 Constant symptoms = constant danger mode
09:27 Feeling better when driving = brain is predicting movement
10:48 How I help people who did not get better with vestibular rehab
11:02 The most important thing I do: reduce danger mode via education about why this happens
11:53 Does your brain have any "danger mode" association with being in a vehicle?
13:56 Strong danger responses to driving often have roots in earlier experiences (prior to dizziness)
14:55 Common pattern: needing to be in control/feeling out of control
15:39 Common pattern: fear of being trapped
16:17 Common pattern: feeling like you'd be overwhelmed and can't handle it
17:07 Common pattern: past experiences related to vehicles that led to strong feelings
18:39 The rationale behind digging into this experiences is reducing danger mode DISCLAIMER: Please note that Yonit Arthur, The Steady Coach and any of our other guests are not acting as an audiologist nor offering audiology or medical services services or advice on any public videos or on any other content.
