In this video, I speak about 6 ideas that can help with increasing perceived control and feelings of safety. It is very normal that when we are unwell we feel like everything is out of our control, this can generate fear and hypervigilance. If we can increase our perception of control over our situation it can help the nervous system to feel safer.
Intro (0:00)
Why is safety and perceived control important (1:35)
1. Self-efficacy writing exercise (2:48)
2. Notice when you are getting into this cycle and have a plan (6:12)
3. What does safety mean to you - visualisations (9:46)
4. Acceptance of the situation (12:02)
5. Learn more about the mind-body approach (15:54)

I'm not a medical professional; this is not medical advice or mental health advice. Seek help from your primary care doctor or local services if you are concerned about your health or mental health.
On this channel, I speak about topics related to Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and similar conditions. I found the work of Dr. John Sarno and Dr. Howard Schubiner really helpful, in particular the books The Mindbody Prescription and Unlearn Your Pain. I also found Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches useful for helping me learn how to become more aware of emotions. Dr. John Sarno, coined the term Tension Myositis/Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) - a condition in which unexplained medical symptoms are underpinned by repressed emotions or psychological processes. His work and the work of his colleagues have helped many people including those with chronic fatigue and chronic pain.
