[@anitas5817]

I’ve realized a lot of my fatigue is just emotional shutting down. That’s a crux point I can work on to reprogram my thoughts. I’ve been so overwhelmed for so long that it’s all I know how to do. I just retired and my family stress evaporated at the same time due to a death, so I have all the time in the world to recover.

[@cfsrecovery]

People don't realize how much stress emotions place on the nervous system. Typically emotions place even more stress than just cognitive and physical functioning, so I'm not surprised that the emotions can cause your systems to flare up like crazy! In someone with a hyper-sensitive nervous system, these symptoms can be more pronounced and more easily triggered. This can lead to a cycle where emotional distress leads to worsening neurological symptoms, which can in turn lead to further emotional distress.

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

Don't want to sound like a bitter troll, but I think part of your recovery was due to the fact you were supported and believed. You were hospitalised, looked after and provided with appropriate modalities such as a wheelchair, etc. More credibility is given to men. You are valued more by society. Most of us go it totally alone.

[@cfsrecovery]

I understand your point. That's why I created this program together with a group of people who will give you support, the sense of community/belonging you were talking about. 😊

Hi. In July of 2021 I went though a severe emotional trauma. The next day I woke w tingling all over, fastest heart rate that wouldnt slow, I would feel super cold and drained. Did yoga for a week and it went away. Dr said blood was good. Wierd little thing I thought. In Sept 21 I got my c19 shot and all these symptoms came back with worse ones! Got covid 2x a month later and I do not know how I survived through it, truly don't. Took me two years to realize it's my nervous system. I've probably had a janky nervous system for life, but these events triggered it to max. Thanks again Miguel. Started doing yoga and breath work and still trying to figure out brain retraining.

[@lc20735]

Please research and don't get any more shots. They're all neurotoxic - every single vax. They're not safe (or effective) for anyone. It's sad to watch people get these injections because of pharmaceutical industry propaganda. Natural immunity is the only safe and effective immunity.

Hey Miguel, I think I feel a bit discouraged because doing activity gives me these long adjustment periods. It makes me doubt if I did the right thing. I'm still in the process of getting medical testing done. Sorry for venting. I noticed my adjustment periods seem to become harder. I still believe in recovery but I do feel scared. I have tried to stay active but I noticed I hit the wall a lot quicker lately. Not sure why. As if I'm losing strength instead of getting better. Did you also felt like that in recovery?

[@luciemermet4130]

Thank for your video, for explainning so well. But something sounds a bit wrong for me. If someone extrapolate the video, s.he could resumate by ''do (more) things and don't think too much about it''. I will try to explain why that bother me a little. I perfectly get that if you over reacting to your symptom, you nervous system is getting worse than it would be normally. In that case, you might get sicker and sicker. But that does not mean that if you don't react to symptoms, you are getting better... You just don't agravate more than the stimulus would have by its own. It is normal that a stimulus triggers the nervous system for everybody, that is how human get the ability to react to the environment (from running out of a fire, to say hello to your friends). What make you sick (in one hypotesis of what make tou sik in ME/CFS) would be that whether the nervous system is too activate, whether the body can NOT recover (due to the sickness, might be because you are out off your adaptative range). Or both. So, responsing bad to the stimulus and symptoms might agravate your health, so this video make plenty of sens in this case. But since there is a stimulus, there will be a respond (of your nevous system and body). So even if your mind respond well, if you are out of your adaptative range, you body can't manage or rest properly. That is the proper of having ME/CFS, that is why you're sick. So, for me, this would mean that in order to getting better, I get that you have to stimulate yourself (that is the mecanism that allow you to grow), IN YOUR ADAPTATIVE RANGE (which is so little for severe ME/CFS). So that means that you would rather not ''force'' yourself to do things that trigger to many symptoms or things that are too hard to recover for you. Maybe i get it wrong, I am french so maybe there is something i didn't understand in the video, if it's the case I am sorry !

[@babelbabel2298]

Summary: "In order to get better you have to stimulate yourself" Which comes back to ..-You have no energy? -Have energy! You have no wellbeing?? -Have wellbeing!! How? Just choose to have it.. in the same way you chose to have 0 energy this morning, in the same way you chose to have 0will/drive/motivation/pleasure. Next time when you choose tragedy life remember to CoNsciOusLy rechoose it to normal life. Cognitive therapy resummary: Thoughts are just a consequence, last step in a chain of low life, you have low life,energy,motivation,being and then you have thoughts/consciousness about it. If you want change do anything but don't waste time trying to deal with random useless thoughts, otherwise REBT is a disease

[@tomverdich184]

Really, really excellent video. I went through the Lightning Process course several years ago after battling with CFS for a number of years. As you say, perseverance is critical. I continue to use the techniques to this day (although with your video I'm hoping I won't have to quite as often!). The LP places a strong emphasis on 'Knowledge drives recovery' and videos like this really help. I love your 'It's just the nervous system' reminder and your sympathetic/parasympathetic illustration. It really simplifies what's going on. Keep up the good work!

[@cfsrecovery]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you found value in the video and that you've been using techniques like the Lightning Process to manage and improve your CFS symptoms. Knowledge is indeed a powerful tool in the recovery process, and simplifying complex concepts can make them more accessible and actionable. I'm here to provide support and information, and I'm delighted to hear that my video has been helpful to you. Keep up the great work, and I wish you continued success on your journey toward better health! 🌟🙏

I started DNRS but my nervous system seems to get more triggered and hyped up with the lengthy visualizations even when I enjoy them. It seems counterproductive almost like I’m trying to calm down my brain, but I’m putting more stimulus on it. It definitely works for some though! Do you think that’s counterproductive?

[@rivkyw.9753]

I was very into changing my wiring and my symptoms got worse until I stopped and realized I need more grounding and less mind work. I started taking a course from Irene Lyon and that feels like the right path for me. I think it depends what’s truly the root of each individuals cuz and how they’re doing now. I knew I don’t have any major anxiety just daily typical stress and I’m into self healing for long time but nothing worked till I started doing grounding stuff very often and being in nature and doing less.

[@rivkyw.9753]

I’m not saying dnrs doesn’t work, I do belive it does but it’s mind and body work together. And I kind of did too much mind work and not enough body work and somatic work. I physically became very intune with my bodies sensations . Which I previously kind of neglected. So I’d say please trust ur gut, you know ur body the best. And watch what brings u real results. This video can make ppl ignore their intuition and our world badly needs more intuition. Maybe for him it was stress and fear. For me it wasn’t , I was not scared to feel my heart race or anxiety and I continued going and that caused me to crash. I ignored the signals . And being sensitive in general is a good thing. Since I got intune I know I need to move away from city etc

Thanks Miguel. ❤ Another great explanation. Yes our response to the symptoms is the most crucial part. But I feel it's not only the cognitive aspect of brain retraining. Taking the foot from the gaspedal (to use one of your analogies😉) in an adjustment period is just as important than retraining your brain with consistent messages of safety. In adjustment period a lot of additional stimulus or trying to achieve the same level of load than before adds equally fuel to the fire than mentally or emotionally worrying/fearing/catastrophizing or the what if's about the symptoms.. So being flexible and gentle to ourselves is a big part too.. Keep up your great work. Always inspiring and helpful. 🙏

[@cfsrecovery]

You're absolutely right - both aspects are equally important and some parts work better for different people, or complement each other - for example, the adjustment period + flare ups can be smoother and easier with proper brain retraining. You're most welcome!

[@Lutze_en_voyage]

[@laurenceshone6652]

This might be great advice but it takes you far too long to get from the initial there are two roads to what you should do about it. Don't forget you are presenting to people who are dealing with CFS and don't have the attention span or energy to stay with you for such a verbose talk. "With CFS there is a crossroad where you can either exacerbate the symptoms or relieve them at this point you need to be conscious that you have a choice and can manage which route you choose. Essentially calming and more pleasant or allow things to get worse. Learn how to recognise the triggers and employ your method of dealing with it. This may include things like meditation once you have identified the crossroads and when you need to take charge". How long would it take to use this outline and if need be add any small words that are needed.

Come on guys! Or are u going to take control of your own mind and reclaim your life regardless of symptoms!! Lets gooo ... watch the more impt vids... put it into ur daily life.. and stop trying to figure all the stuff u have to do to recover because youll be taxing your nervous system and thats the last thing u wanna do... no need to be jacked up about all the books u gotta read and this method and that method and all the holibooloo... take it slow and simple 🙏

I have ME/CFS (and fibromyalgia) but I have just never been an anxious person. I don’t do the “what if’s” or have fear around it. I started getting occasional pain when I was 11. We just thought it was growing pains and I didn’t take it serious at all. Over time it got chronic yet I just never really saw it as something hindering or terrible. It was just a fact of life. I am in bed 22 hours a day, and have been for the last 8 years, but I just can’t recognize the thought pattern you describe. My ME doctor had a medical student with her the other day that had ME herself and she recommended a brain retraining course because it really helped her so I am trying to learn if it would make sense for me. I had hoped there was more to it than this as I don’t doubt my nervous system could benefit from true rest like with meditation and mindfulness.

[@cfsrecovery]

I understand that. It's important to note that the thought patterns and fear-based responses described in the video may not resonate with everyone's experience. Brain retraining courses can be beneficial for some individuals with ME/CFS, as they can help promote a more balanced nervous system and improve overall well-being. However, it's also important to consider other approaches such as meditation, mindfulness, and true rest, as you mentioned. Each person's journey is truly unique, so finding what works best for you and listening to your body is key. It may be helpful to consult with your ME doctor or a healthcare professional who specializes in ME/CFS to discuss your specific situation and explore the potential benefits of different approaches. Our approach on CFS Recovery Jumpstart Program involves understanding where you are at medically, so we can create a personalized approach for you to get where you ought to be.

Great question! I’m curious as well…

[@sq5]

​@@lauriemtz8616I have recovered to the point where I can do anything I like as long as I factor in rest and recovery afterwards and don't push my heart rate up. Before, I was often bed or housebound. I didn't use any supplements or prescription medications at all in my recovery and/or treatment. It was entirely down to meticulous pacing and keeping my efforts low, plus removing as much stress from my life as possible until I got to a point where I could handle some again. I'll still relapse a bit every now and then and suffer symptoms, but I can recover in a day or two, rather than months and months. Hope this helps!

I am watching to try to help a friend who’s going through basically what you did -extreme physical debilitation, hospital, etc with no diagnosis. Her natural healing doctors have told her she needs to realign her brain and that she may have chronic fatigue syndrome. My question is, at the point of your diagram where the black is,then over to the fork in the diagram,where the choice is made, does choosing the right blue choice release any type of chemical that helps to retrain the thought for next time ? I hope my question makes sense?

[@cfsrecovery]

You're such a sweet and nice friend! 🤗 Long story short, initially no, there is no chemical release. Once results start coming though, there is a slight dopamine release as you get rewarded for responding well to symptoms.

[@catherinephillips8925]

For me personally calming my nervous system was a lot about what I was telling myself. I realised pain signals or different symptoms were my body trying to keep me safe , So I might say thanks body I understand what you’re doing but I am ok ! I’m safe I realised that my body wasn’t broken it just was sending me signals that I didn’t need . I ignore symptoms, I don’t talk about symptoms negatively, I talk in terms of what my day looks like or what I feel like doing. It’s especially important for those around me to not ask about pain specifically because that’s not where I want my attention. At first I used distractions to redirect my focus , As time goes on I have to do that less and less . I notice what is happening but don’t chase anything down the rabbit whole of worrying.

hey miguel,thanks a lot for sharing and explaining . I just wanted to know how many times a day n how long for each round is to get best results? thanks u my friend

[@B3l0v3d05]

So you're saying some kinds of brain retraining require more activation energy than others?

[@cfsrecovery]

That’s right

[@B3l0v3d05]

Can you give an example?

You know I like that the autonomic nervous system is over reacting to a stimulus. What category of people need to use stems to self regulate? Autism. Yet typically one of the first behavior modification therapies out there is to stop the autistic person from stimming to self regulate their dysregulated Autonomic Nervous System. People can’t seem to wrap her brain around the concept that a different neurological development… which is what autism is in my option… is developmental from a nervous system that is over reacting to typical stimuli… and developing sensory sensitivity while not able to develop say potentially socially or in a learning environment because their autonomic nervous system is overstimulated due to pain… real physical pain… and sensory overwhelm. From my observation, the only difference is the autistic person walked in early to this world of dis regulated nervous system, but those who encountered it later or through some event that kicked this dynamic off it’s called things like ME/CFS POTS… etc. The only difference was the stage of life that it occurred potentially in the womb or potentially out of the womb yet shortly thereafter, potentially an early development. Think about trying to be a very small infant / child with brain fog and fatigue and pain and sensory overwhelm trying to develop and their brain is wiring “differently” due to this stimulus overwhelm… autism. Yes the key is calming the autonomic nervous system… anything you can do to make the system feel “safe” and then once it is registering “safe” build from there rebuild the neurology. In early childhood development there are natural pruning of neurons and pathways so sometimes they can hit one of those natural pruning stages and the symptoms and symptomology the over sensitivity to all things environmental adverse stimuli goes away prunes away in the brain. But that is only if the child has gotten to a state where they have calmed them self and feel safe and the brain feel safe to let it prune away at those naturally occurring developmental stages, if not it persists. This is why you’ll have people out there that say they did a certain therapy or change diet etc. and the autism was cured that’s what you’re looking at somehow someway things in the environment or coming into the body a state of being was made better by a therapy or a diet and the body and brain was able to recover itself. That’s my theory that’s my opinion If there is a genetic disorder such as connective tissue disorder such as Ehlers-Danlos that is keeping the autonomic nervous system and that sympathetic state or a spine injury with cranial instability then you can have a structural trigger and it’s gonna be much more difficult to do a conscious override tonight and I’m at nervous system that’s been triggered by something structural and then bring your training is going to be helpful but not your cure all. It can help. It can be a “stim” tool.

[@AriesRising4444]

From a fellow sufferer of hEDS who is most probably also on the spectrum, this is a brilliant post. The first memory I have of feeling this way is 3 years old. I'm now 73 and still use the same stimming techniques as when I was 3.

Wish they would teach this to physical therapists. Tried describing my pain to them as I was starting and I said I don’t want to stop and rate my pain cause it causes the pain to climb…they, including my husband said it doesn’t work that way, I said it does when you’ve already learned how to tune out the smaller pains or raising pain until it gets so bad you can’t cause you really do have other issues like contact with the spine in your neck.

[@cfsrecovery]

It can be challenging when others may not fully understand the intricacies of pain perception. 🤝💙 Trusting your own experience and advocating for your needs is crucial. Keep expressing your perspective, and I hope you find supportive professionals on your journey to well-being! We're always here to help! 🌟😊

[@indira.r]

Do you think that in addition to interrupting thoughts, it’s also necessary to set aside time to do brain retraining and visualizing in order to recover?

[@cfsrecovery]

💯 brain retraining is very KEY in recovery!

So do the fatigue and neuro symptoms go last with brain retraining?

[@cfsrecovery]

This will indirectly help other symptoms + fatigue. Reducing pain takes off stress on the nervous system, mainly from the emotional and mental aspect. 🙂

[@DaylanTheAngrySauerkraut]

Hmmm so my MECFS caused by the Covid vax injury is all just a figment of my imagination? The blood results and sudden autoimmune antibodies and paralysis beg to differ. I cannot just wish my legs to move or tell my brain off for being "silly".

[@bbl8101]

Yeah his overview is great for managing anxiety but since developing autoantibodies, Neuroinflammation and liver damage from covid, I'm struggling to see how this works. It's also very dangerous for people suffering with PEM and could make them worse

[@eviemorgs]

No, it’s not “all in your head”.. there is usually always a trigger, however the symptoms become chronic due to the brain misinterpreting the symptoms as a dangerous threat and then mistakenly producing more symptoms to protect. Brain retraining breaks the symptom-fear cycle and regulates the system in order to heal

[@Bubblesandcandyfloss]

There’s so much more to it than that.

[@Flwer479]

You can't train your brain to grow legs when they been cut off.

[@clareberrington2262]

Keep watching recovery channels such as Raelan Agle, Tony Robins and Dan Neufer and you will gradually understand how your Covid has put your ANS out of whack which is causing your body to malfunction with very physical symptoms and abnormal test results.

Thank you very much this is so helpful.. I’m from Germany and I’m soooo super sensitive bc of 7 years severe illness… Benzo damage, chronic Lyme, mold etc.. it started when I was 21 and now I’m 28 and I lost everything.. I’m about to start with brain retraining. Do you have excersises or something I can build a plan for me? I don’t have the money to buy Gupta or dnrs bc I spend everything on private doctors. Thank you

Hi Miguel..You are fabulous and thank you so much..Buthave 2 queries..Could my cfs have been inituated by a physical injury like tendonosis of shoulder due to corrosive incorrect workout and tipped by wrong physical manipulation leading me bedridden.While i have gotten better but have been through sooi much running around doctors but fatigue and brain fog are common.Iam unable to expkain my pain or tightness along with this to any doctor..Iam practicing your Brain retraining technique.Your videos are gold and whatever you are doing guiding to people who cant afford especially after sooo much of running out with sooo many tests and have done everyrhing almost,I just have nothing but gratitude..Loads of love from India..An arxent well wisher..I hope ur brain training guided exercise with pacing works..Fatigue oh mannn...cant explain to people without sounding overboard but no one would understand..

[@tehlulzpare]

I doubt you’ll see this comment among all the others. I’ve finally realized I needed to listen to my doctor and take the time off and try to recover. I’ve had to finally quit my job to do so. I’m looking at your videos and I’m very intrigued. I definitely can benefit. But the brain retraining is tough as I also have adhd, and meditation is really hard as my brain is nearly always “on”. That is really the only thing I can see really hampering me from following along with your advice. Any tips for getting past that, from clients you’ve helped?

[@ginamartinez3954]

I understand what you’re saying about the nervous system what do I do about the fatigue and the 12-14 hour sleeping? What kind of I tell myself about that because I can’t wake myself up I am so exhausted. Sometimes I sleep 12 to 14 hours and then I’m back to sleep again another four hours.

Hi Miguel, I have a question please. I am 30 years old and have had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia for 3 years. I have a history of anxiety and panic attacks and have experienced chronic stress and trauma. I have also recently been diagnosed with hEDS which is believed to be a connective tissue disorder that affects the joints etc, however I was previously asymptomatic. I want to believe I can heal from brain retraining without this diagnosis holding me back. What do you think?

[@cfsrecovery]

Great question! It should definitely help you! As long as you have ruled out any other health issues through medical tests and scans, these principles should work for you 👍🏻

[@nickd422]

I've been experiencing the gamut of symptom that seem to corrolate to visual snow syndrome since January. This happened following a week of using Vyvanse. Even though i stopped the vyvanse, i still experience visual snow syndrome symptoms. Would this brain retraining approach help me? Are you familiar with VSS or seen any success from VSS people? W

A huge and genuine you for this video. My mindset has taken a shift for the worst and I know it….even though I try to resist it….im just plain TIRED, burnt out, burning the candle at every end….& I sometimes forget I DO have control of my mind and it is and will always be my greatest tool to make a change in life. I’m stuck in the nonstop supplement hamster wheel right now and know my mindset is where I need to be placing more focus. Thank you so much. It’s a lot easier to take this advice from someone who’s truly been through it. Thank you 🙏
