right off the bat when alice said she already feels so far away from her experience with symptoms i felt so much hope! imagine symptoms being a thing of the past! beautiful -- thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Alice. I'm in the UK too about to start one of the group courses offered by NHS! Problem is I'm already well into mind/body healing and doing brain retraining etc. I'll give it a go anyway it might help. I wish I could afford the mind/body reconnect program! I watched some videos if clare Caldwell. If only it could be offered on NHS. Having said thar its such a tricky thing to do to become aware of our thoughts, symptoms and emotions and find the connection. My biggest aha moment recently was the connection to my childhood. Because it gave me the 'why' that I needed all along. Healing my inner child is so key. Putting g ourselves first! Doing things we love! Im glad you got to have your baby and feel fully well! I got ill after habing 2 x babies 17 months apart and a teenager in tow! Its been hard but now theyre at school and sleeping better im slowly slowly healing but still a way to go. Thanks for sharing x
Reelan I like when you said "Not just past trauma but what do we keep loading on every day" I have found myself sliding back into old behaviors like obsessing about a really bad haircut and feeding my sweet brain with the same trauma "feelings" over silly things, when a couple years ago I would have been happy the roll over in bed without symptoms I mean really silly to scare my brain with silly stuff like hair, duh? How quickly we forget our priorities. I am a work in progress. Love you both, Ava
Thanks for sharing Alice, so pleased for you on your full recovery and your dream of being a mother coming true. Thank you for the insight of the mind body experience. Hopefully I can find a way of using this kind of technique for myself❤
Thank you so much for this interview, so interesting, healing traumas resonate for me, many recovery stories share this point, i think its really important
I have CFS for over 15 years and I am now doing TMS/Mind Body work AGAIN after doing a variation of The Lightening Process several years ago and it not work for me. If this Mind.Body TMS stuff does not work - I have already had some progress in a matter of weeks to a few months - then nothing will. I seem to have lost the chronic pain pretty quick or should I say it moved a bit which is typical ! but the fatigue is still huge. I am also tapering off BENZO"s at the same time, so very hard to track progress properly. I loved your hack Raelan for just moving or stretching a little bit every day and increasing slowly . I am doing that - Thank you !! 🙏🙏
@@kathystoner5239 yeah his group coaching sounds very cool. I kinda flip betweenDan and Nicole. Take the best of both , whatever my mood is. I have to do this for free as i have not worked for SO long I cannot afford to pay for any more courses.
I am SO interested in doing this therapy. I think having continued support ie face to face support every week even online face to face is helpful . I did a mind body course for 3 days but altho improved found it not sustainable, I noticed tho everytime I spoke to the tutor, afterwards my symptoms were way down, but only lasted one day. I could not afford more sessions but I possibly needed to talk to her every week for like one year !! I think being mentored could really really help
Not a lot of interviewed recovered people offer actionable advice. And a lot of them want to sell coaching. I loved Junior's interview for example because he shared very actionable steps to recovery. Steps which people can actually follow. This interview was a lot of blabla and a sales pitch again.
I don't know really. I have been meditating for a long time. I eat healthy. Still tired. Not completely bedridden, but not able to work full-time and do all the hobbies I want. I want it back like it was before getting ill.
8:55 I think if we want to help change the scene of the medical world towards this illness… we have to work on ridding the world of the name CFS… this term caused me to be assailed through mockery, ridicule and lack of taking me seriously from the many doctors I went through for 3 yrs before meeting a good one. Even the doctor who « penned » the name in the 1980’s regrets deeply the name and apologized to the ME community international for penning such a negative name!!
Ignore this if it's not relevant, but have you ever come across the Dizzy Cook? She healed from vestibular migraine through a combination of medication, diet, and lifestyle changes. She had to go to multiple doctors before getting that diagnosis, because she didn't have head pain, so most didn't suspect migraine.
In sports athelets that feel good can overtain without conseqences while if you are not feeling good overtraining can lead to a halt of everything. You have to start feeling better mentaly with positiviy and belive and then the boddy will heal and can continue.
Sounds exactly like mickel therapy to me. Sadly i wasted nearly 1000 pounds on mickel therapy. It got me so angry; i could never identify the "keys" (emotions) , and would end up more in fight or flight than ever.
I think that Clare Caldwell lady she speaks of began with Mickel Therapy before starting the Mind Body Recconnect. I've read reverse therapy x3 times and it's really helped me!
So very true. I have been to so many Drs. I hate Dr's. The arrogance, the interest in Symptoms only, you understand. I am sending you a big healing hug.
I was diagnosed with long covid cfs 1 month ago after sleepingan averageof 21 hrs a day for weeks. My neurologist just told me get use to sleeping. I have no desire to do that. This is hard to get use to. I had never even heard of long covid before this.
I’m recovering from Long Covid and ME/CFS since April 2021. It’s quite the journey, but I keep getting better over time (variety of methods, most discussed on this channel). You got this. ❤
@@afshasultana6294 Pacing, trauma healing (EMDR and somatic), early on HBOT and acupuncture helped get me out of the worst of it, and Ayurvedic medicine seeing a doctor has made a huge difference too. Choosing to live differently, letting go of my last career and the version of myself that created ME/CFS (had symptoms long before Covid), and more. Soul level healing!
@@AnrupB wow that sounds great. Keep going. So any ayurvedic practitioner would do or in therr some specific good ones? I am so fatigued these days i can barely get out of bed.
Mbr is also brain retraining, but also a way to cope with feelings the right way. But the only thong i didnt like about it is that every symptoms has an underligning trigger. I dont think you need to chase triggers, you rathed change beliefs and behaviours that dont serve you.
Hope triggers dopamine, so maybe some neural pathway was activated which set off a curing thingy that fixed low-grade inflammation in the nervous system, which most of us assume ME basically is. And the circumstances that led to being ill (a Greek refugee camp must be one of the most stressful places on earth, with loads of viruses from all over the planet floating around, probably not a lot of sleep either) were not there anymore, that might help also. I take such stories seriously, but not everyone has the same version of this, some are (luckily!) fixable with 'mind tricks', apparently 👍
I was thinking there must be a dopaminergic effect that produces other physical/hormonal responses that effectuate that Healthful shift! It really makes sense as we're always told it's the Type A's which are most affected Really fascinating Hope is a Blessing 🌷
@@Stak1776 Yeah but most of us need a little more than that I'm afraid.... Perhaps in this case CBT/GET would've worked as well, like it does in a small percentage. Abilify affects dopamine/serotonin as well & that's been proven to relief ME sometimes, unfortunately the effect doesn't always stick 😒 I think all personality types are susceptible to it by the way, the type A's maybe a wee bit more because they keep going when they should rest.
Neuroinflammation is a stress response, just like nausea and pain are stress responses. It's a terrible symptom, but on its face it's harmless in the long-term; The brain is afraid, and will produce any symptom it can, including inflammation. Consider that IBS; POTS; Sleep Fragmentation; Unrefreshing Sleep; Nausea; Hippocampal Atrophy; Chronic Pain; etc. are all non-fatal symptoms _also associated_ with a history of anxiety and PTSD, and a picture is painted of a brain that's learned to bash the keys on its own control panel.
@@themupsmuppet Just because a symptom or disease is by and large not fatal does not mean it isn't serious. I don't go on RU-vid to argue or accuse, I have more fun things to do with my time. I'm just here to share information, and if anything I've said is misinformed, do tell, not just for me but for others too, including yer mum! Have a nice day
