Why "Trying to Heal" Keeps You Sick

f you've been trying to heal for years and getting nowhere, the problem might not be the protocol - it might be the person doing it. In this video, I explain why the very act of "trying to heal" is often what keeps you sick.

I explore the paradox that your Type A personality (the "Improver") uses healing tools to avoid feeling, which actually blocks your nervous system from finding safety. If you are exhausted from protocols, diets, and somatic exercises that don't stick, this shift in perspective might be the missing piece you've been looking for.

Join the Release program to speed up your healing from ME/CFS, Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, MCAS, Post-Vac and other chronic illnesses.
