💫 FND Support Session & Re‑Entry Strategies
Topic: Neuroplasticity and Recovery Strategies
Retraining brain pathways for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) takes time — often months or years. This week’s session focuses on gentle, practical ways to support your nervous system during transitions and recovery.
🧠 Symptom Management Techniques
Transition Practice: Stand for 30–60 seconds, then lie down if tremors start — reinforcing safety.
Redirect Focus: Use sensory or motor tasks like juggling, singing, or washing one dish.
Deep Breathing: Inhale 4 counts, exhale 4 counts, relax shoulders and jaw.
Positive Reframing: Replace “I’m paying the price for company” with “I’m taking today to recover from an enjoyable time.”
🤝 Co‑Regulation & Support
Physical connection matters — 20‑second hugs help regulate the nervous system.
Support animals (like Roxy 🐾) can assist with grounding and co-regulation.
For those living alone, consider service‑provider or therapy‑animal visits.
📘 Group Resources
Session worksheets are available under “Worksheets” in the group portal — Word files for digital use or printing.
💛 Healing happens through connection, compassion, and consistent practice.
