    The opposite of sensitization is desensitizing. This includes applying the understanding of what your symptoms are, which is what we started to talk about today, expressing and regulating emotions, reducing catastrophizing exposure training and time.

    3 years CFS - 68 years high anxiety AND panic attacks. Now implementing an active self talk appreciating the orchestra of my brain and body function working together HEALING my diagnosed Hashimotos and CFS.
  • OMG what an informative video Melissa! Man I am learning so much from you. Your an amazing person and I totally agree with this video!❤
  • I’m seeing a PT who is trained in central sensitization- it’s been a game changer. More and more PT'S are being trained in CS. It’s covered by insurance. My opinion- the more sensitization it may take longer to recover. What are your thoughts on that Jim? I LOVE your videos Jim. You stand out in this field. As far as I know, you are the only one who looks at the research and updates all of us on it. For me, knowledge is power. The more facts I can lean into the more I can regulate my nervous system.

    So what do I do about it? Just allow emotions, feelings, and symptoms to come and go? Anything else?

  • Thank you do you have a video on how the brain works. Do we tell the brain what to do or does the body tell the brain what to do?

    I am depressed because of my symptoms! I have been experiencing Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and MCAS with a super strong smell to chemicals and fragrance! Reactions sometimes. Also Mold toxicity. My reactions can change all the time. I dont know how to stop the rumonating now. Its taken a very strong mental toll on me. How do you get un stressed when you feel hopeless? 4 and a half years with this crap and its gotten worse. Now terrible tinnitus and brain ringing as well
  • This sounds like me but it seems like it's overwhelming to me all these big fancy words the simple term for this is perceived danger pain the brain thinks you're in danger so it sends symptoms to the body to distract you from what's really going on emotionally distress. It's important to convince the brain that we are not broken you're safe
