Hello I just have a question hope its fine. I have been dealing with ic/bloating symptoms for a while. The pain is just alwas there like its Chronic. When doing stuff like Orienting, somatic tracking i feel like my nervous system is much more relax. And i was wondering if learning to relax the nervous system wouldn't that be enough, and the pain will go away with time? Is it really necessary to go back in time and try to experience bad memories. (i dont like that idea, and i dont know where to even start, and how to feel it). Thanks :)

I’ve just started Rebecca’s course after learning all of this work over last few months. I have started daily somatic work and lots of emotions are coming out and through me - sadness, fear, shame. I hope this is a good sign ❤

Hey What techniques did you use the most in general. :) Im starting with somatic tracking and feel like it helps my nervous system relax.

I have taken this wonderful course and it’s what really was the catalyst in my recovery ❤️‍🩹

I love this. I had really bad pain for 6 years - misdiagnosed by 11 specialists. I was diagnosed with TMS by myself (Dr. Sarno's description of TMS sufferer's traits just blew me away - light bulb moment) and my diagnosis was confirmed by a TMS expert. Since knowing it is TMS, the pain has dropped - I can sleep again and work again. I'm suffering from bad fatique now the last months (not as bad as you had it Rebecca) but I could sleep all day - maybe sleep apnea, but maybe this is just the symptom imperative of TMS.

Can I recover if I have a childhood trauma that has been triggering danger signal from early years?…

Rebecca hi, first of all thank you for great content on mind body healing. Im just starting my journey on this path. I saw your recovery videos and you said that one of your symptoms was brain fog. I was wondering was it 24/7? And how did it go away? I experience it 24/7 for 7 years and it stops me from fully believing that my condition is mind mody. Because it’s not triggered by anything, it’s just there all the time. I’ll appreciate your answer 🥰

So much amazing knowledge and information in this video! Thank you for sharing all of your insight and expertise ❤

What do we do on the days where we only get 3-4 hours sleep Rebecca haha

I love “the mind narrates what the nervous system knows.” So good!

This is so profound and resonates with me ❤ thank you

I resonate with that “I’m not dying but I feel like I’m dying” 😢😘

I resonate with that “I’m not dying but I feel like I’m dying” 😢😘

I honestly think my cfs was mostly driven by lack of sleep and pushing my self on those days and getting stuck in that cycle. Now I know to take it easy on those days where I had sleepless night, is it true that one lack of sleep night takes 2-3 to bounce back ?

Rebecca, I am so thankful for your somatic practice exercises. I have been suffering with nausea and no appetite recently and everytime I have done your somatic meditation, I come out of it instantly wanting food and am able to eat ! Incredible ❤

Such a sweetheart ❤️

The one thing i’m confused about is this.. why are we finding viral particles in the brain on LC patients then? Also I have a lot of eye symptoms, wouldn’t that be explained by inflammation?

I'm not fearful just sad,, after 10 years of cfs .. i have been doing the mind/body work for about 7 months now and believe it's my NS.. My symptoms are strong, I haven't felt this bad in over 2 years. I am going into my 3rd month of thick symptoms.. housebound after 2 years. I don't understand I am trying to respond to symptoms well but it is hard day after day , week after week and month after month

So, what are the tools?

I just need to see your beautiful smile and I will sleep like a baby :P

I am in adrenal fatigue/ stuck in fight or flight mode for over a year now. I have had Hashimotos Thyroiditis for over 35 years-cannot get thyroid meds adjusted since I had Covid when it first came out. Can you help me?

Yes, I developed CFS/ME symptoms after having 19 major stresses, 4 of them traumas. No wonder my body and brain reacted! No-one ever asked what happened BEFORE the symptoms began. I'm so glad the new paradigm in medicine is doing just that, and helping people face repressed emotions and old trauma and grief. I loved somatic tracking videos for learning to befriend your symptoms and sensations. I began to improve my sleep when stopped fearing it, and learned to do meditation and aerobic exercise, both of which have similar brain effects to sleep. Even when I slept badly, doing a number of small meditations had me feeling just fine and accomplishing a lot. I also wonder how many people like you had sexual assault at night, so the crocodile brain stayed reactive as protection. I had a rape attempt, and though I fought him off, the brain could still be trying to keep me safe at night. I now fall asleep easily most of the time, but wake up quite often. When there's a lot of stress, I have insomnia in the middle of the night. Getting up and doing the 478 breath usually makes me sleepy and gets me back to sleep, but if it doesn't, I use various forms of meditation like Chi Gong, guided visualizations, and yoga nidra to make up for the sleep deficit. I love journaling, but will try Expressive Writing! I also tend to like doing a gratitude list at night, which does just as you said - shifts you to a loving, accepting state - but i have to be careful not to be too "perky positive" as you can be repressing emotion without realizing it. For me, dancing is my best medicine. I discover emotions I didn't know were there when I dance, and can express then release them in a creative way I love. Even though we're not supposed to do strong exercise at night, I find dance is fine. Thanks, Rebecca, for these informative and inspirational videos!

Wow, i’m just in a phase of some weeks with more insomnia than usual. This video shows up right at perfect time! Thank you, Rebecca 🤍 I realise that sometimes it’s hard for me to let go of the pressure to have to sleep well and trying to force it and at the same time doing those techniques to „make me“ to sleep better. Feels a bit like mixed signals to my brain 😅 But i guess it just needs time to find my balance with this. Is it possible to share one of those somatic meditations which could help doing before sleep? I’m very curious. :)

Thanks so much for this helpful compassionate video sweet Rebecca! Will definitely help my long disturbed sleep patterns to settle.. Greetings and blessings from France 🇫🇷 ❤🎉❤🎉

Thank you! I had insomnia. I was thinking: What happened to Rebecca?

Thank you I really enjoyed this, but an ad disrupted me noticing my breath at about 6 minutes in which was quite disruptive. I did a quick google search and there is a way to turn off mid-roll ad breaks for individual videos. I suggest that would be a good idea for this one or any of your videos that are somatic practices or meditations. This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I plan to check out more of them.

Will this help with brain fog/eye issues and eye sensitivity? I have eye sensitivy constantly.

I have a question. I’m dealing with LONG COVID right now. I’d say I’m mild, my symptoms fluctuate up and down, and I may have very mild PEM crashes. Main issues: eye sensitivity, eye pressure, heart rate increases etc. can your course help this?

This is an excellent interview that answered so many questions for me. I’ve been working on brain retraining but was stressing myself out trying to do “all the techniques” plus still seeing a natural doctor who does muscle testing who keeps telling me things are wrong with different organs but it changes week to week which I believe he’s picking up on where the brain is sending signals as opposed to something actually being wrong and then putting me on a ton of supplements. I’ve been seeing him for 5 months and I find myself feeling worse and worse because he keeps telling my brain something is wrong. I suspected this is what was happening but this video just confirmed it for me. I’ve been trying to be my typical perfectionist self with recovery and just stressing myself out more. It’s time to just find joy, self love & compassion and re-engage with my life instead of isolating. Thank you! ❤

2 of my favorite people 💕

Rebecca is there a way to contact Gigi?

Amazing video Rebecca! I love it so much! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much Rebecca ❤. i have been in Fight or Flight modus Non-stop for more than 1,5 years now with reflux pains, fear, fatigue, POTS, MCAS, Leaky gut and depression and my nervous system is only able to concentrating on surviving. I love how you talk and what you say takes the pressure out of me. When I did this practice, I started crying at the end; Is that a sign that the parasympathetic nervous system took over from the sympathetic system a little bit? It happens sometimes with other meditations as well. I realised through programs like yours (haven't attended a Brain Retraining programm yet but seen tons of videos like yours) that I concentrated 100% of my time on surviving. So my nerv system is stuck now. Excercises like this makes me come out of this jail of fear a little bit. I use to listen to your free Somatic meditation to fall asleep or just to calm down. I love the part where we shall concentrate on two points at the same time.

Can someone list the 6 tools please 🙏

You are so beautyfull Rebeca.

THANK YOU. This really is the heart of the issue and how to overcome it. And you’re right, it’s so important to find the healing avenue that works for you (meditation, tapping, etc) Go slowly and be gentle. I recovered from long covid but still have swings into feeling unsafe and the symptoms return. But now I know the path out. Reading Sarno’s book was also a turning point for me. ❤

I am curious on the epstein bar virus. Thats the only diagnosis i have gotten positive for reactivation. I have a book on it how to properly test for it and even though some practicioners think it means nothing and that we all have it, 2 of my others have said its definitely reactivated. My symptoms are a constant inflammed throat and cracking rining ears which is chronically there and then i get surges of flares from my throat to chest to all different symptoms. Sorry to list them here im just saying ebv is the only thing i have to go on aside from a positive ANA.

What is extremely exciting about this is im taking a course from primal trust and Kathleen king had an interview with a gal named Lisa Warner. She has a youtube and book. Even though her beliefs are different than i she healed herself from cancer with a mind body approach. That to me signals that mind body has much more a role in serious disease than we know.. From watching her stuff she said she was holding on to resentment and worried about finances and wasnt being her authentic self. She meditated and told herself she was ok. Idk how long it took her but its encouraging

Also what if you do have an active virus in your body. Epstein bar virus Post a year of chronic stress and after getting food poisoning and covid it all started. The only thing ive been able to find was reactivated ebv after going through the medical loop testing out everything

So the Journaling would be saying everything that brings you fear etc in that course of the day or was troubling you? I know other brain retraining programs would say if you feeing unsupported by your huaband today, journal of how you were supported

Thank you Miss, it was helpful

You are so well spoken and compassionate, thanks so much for the encouragement!🙏 , i wish you much success!

Great interview. I like what he said about when he was doing things and it was hard and he had to keep saying ‘I’m ok, these are just sensations, my body is ok’. This is the point I’m at. Doing things with the sensations and using that reassurance to myself

I can resonate with Jenny. I had the same thing in my 20’s not knowing about mind body and I recovered fully in 18 months but didn’t really know how. This time ( age 48 ) I’m finding it a longer process, but I know I can recover because it happened before! This is how I know its mind body and not a life long illness. This is what keeps me going. I know I’m not sick. Just struggling with the balance between doing things with symptoms and rest / self care as I have symptoms 24/7

I realised that sleep is such an important factor in recover, but also knowing to take it easy on the days you don’t sleep well

Thank you so much for sharing your recovery story! I feel the hope! I saw myself in a lot of your experiences (CFS also started post-viral for me). If you don't mind sharing, did you have non-refreshing sleep and if so, did it gradually get better as you recovered?

Is the program suitable for someone on an SSRI, because that blunts the emotions a bit. I don’t feel well enough to taper off right now.

This is so good. Thank you for sharing your story in such detail.

I felt chills two days ago and felt I have a high fever. Numb legs. I checked thermometer and it was normal. I had strong dreams. I woke up as if I had a bad bad alcohol. Wobbly walk and really tired and drowsy. Is this cfs?

Thanks for sharing your story Jenny I identify with a lot of what you've said and it's really helped me not feel like I'm going crazy xxx
