💭 This is why “positive thinking” is not the same as brain retraining. 👇

Zara Dureno explains that trauma can create neuroplastic change quickly because it carries so much emotional salience.

So when we’re trying to teach the brain something new, we may need more than repetition.

We may need to visualize it. Embody it. Feel the emotion connected to it.

Not in a fake or forced way — but in a way that helps the nervous system experience something different.

This is such a helpful piece of the recovery puzzle, especially if you’ve ever felt like affirmations or thought work just weren’t landing.

Recovery doesn't always feel like recovery, especially in the early stages. The real shifts are quiet and easy to miss when you're looking for big changes.

Some of the patterns you call your “personality” may actually be old ways your nervous system learned to protect you.

People pleasing, perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, and being hard on yourself are not flaws. They are patterns you can begin to notice, soften, and unlearn.

💭 Sometimes the thing that started your symptoms is not the same thing keeping them going. 👇

That can be one of the hardest parts of ME/CFS, long COVID, and other neuroplastic symptoms to wrap our minds around.

A virus, infection, injury, stressful season, or food poisoning can absolutely be the original trigger. The body sends a real danger signal. The brain responds. Symptoms happen.

But over time, the brain can start using that old experience as a prediction for what is safe and unsafe now.

So even when the original threat has passed, the nervous system may still be responding as if danger is present.

That does not mean your symptoms are fake.

It means your brain may be working from outdated danger data.

And this is where brain retraining can be so powerful. We are gently, gradually giving the brain and nervous system new information:

I’m safe now.
This does not have to mean danger anymore.
My body can learn something new.

And if you’re curious to learn more about how this works and other tools and strategies, I’ve got a completely free five day brain retraining course.

💭If your ears ring, hiss, pulse, click, or feel “off” in a way no one has been able to fully explain… 👇

This episode is for you.

Dr. Marcia Dewey is a clinical audiologist who looks at tinnitus, sound sensitivity, dizziness, and other ear symptoms through a neuroplastic lens.

She explains that these symptoms can become part of a learned danger response.

That doesn’t mean they’re “not real.”

It means the brain and nervous system may be amplifying them because they feel threatening.

And when we start changing the relationship with the symptom, gently and safely, the brain can learn something new.

This clip includes such a powerful example of that.

👉 If you’ve been trying to avoid every possible flare-up trigger, this part of my conversation with Olga is worth hearing.

Avoidance makes sense at first.

You’re trying to stay safe.
You’re trying not to make things worse.
You’re trying to understand what your body can and can’t handle.

But over time, your brain can start labeling more and more things as threats. And before you know it, life gets smaller and smaller.

I loved how Olga put this:

"Feel it. Don't Fuel it."

Comment “Olga,” and I’ll share the full episode.

💭 What if doubt isn’t a problem?👇

What if doubt is actually where many recovery stories begin?

Dr. Howard Schubiner talks about Fiona, who joined Curable to prove it wouldn’t work for her.

But as she kept reading and learning, she began to see how the science connected with her own symptoms, her own history, and her own life.

That was the turning point.

If you’ve been thinking, “This makes sense… but I’m not sure it applies to me,” Curable can be a gentle place to start exploring.

No pressure to believe it all at once.

Just stay curious.
