These are some of my favorite parts about the work I did.

No longer panicking about a late night because I’m so afraid I won’t be able to get enough sleep because my body is being jolted to wake at 4 AM no matter what.

no longer being afraid of caffeine and the symptoms that produced in my body and the way it flared up my pain.

Not being scared that caffeine at 2 PM is gonna keep me from falling asleep at night.

I am not who I was 2 1/2 years ago. These things may seem a little, but they represented 20 years of fear.

Not being in chronic pain anymore? Very cool.

But not living in constant fear about everything in life? The coolest.

This work goes far beyond eliminating symptoms. It gave me a new life. It saved my life.

A quick thing to watch for as you go through these.

A sensitized nervous system has a baseline level of doubt running underneath everything, and it will use these questions to look for proof that none of this applies to you.

It happens fast.

You land on one question where the answer doesn’t fit cleanly and that becomes the thing you fixate on.

“Mine is always in the same place. Mine is always the same intensity. So this isn’t me.”
That’s the doubt.

The question to ask isn’t whether every single one of these applies to you.

It’s whether the overall pattern is showing up.
Look for the ways this does fit, not the one way it doesn’t.

If most of these are landing, your symptoms are probably not structural.

Which is actually good news, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Structural damage is fixed by structural intervention.
Sensitization is wired in, and it can be wired out.

The path forward is not another scan.

It’s the work of teaching your nervous system it’s not in danger anymore.

That’s what Soft Regulation™ Desensitize is.

I spent over a year trying to get to the bottom of what was causing my symptoms. Everything was a dead end, and I didn’t want to accept a life of coping with medications that had terrible side effects.

If you have been dealing with chronic symptoms for some time, and your doctors have no answers for you, it’s very very likely your symptoms are being caused by your nervous system, which is great news, because nervous systems can be retrained.

It’s the nervous system. If you’re not sure whether you’re sensitized or not, take my quiz! Comment “quiz” and I’ll send it to you!

Staying aware of this focus and understanding helped me when things felt really crazy.

What-if thinking is a huge aspect of sensitization. It’s the nervous system’s attempt to get certainty when everything in our mind and body is blaring alarms constantly.

Is your nervous system sensitized? Comment quiz and I’ll DM it to you to find out!

Life can still be beautiful as you heal. Don’t waste your energy on what-if rabbit holes. Because EVEN IF your fears are valid, you can still take care of yourself and work towards recovery.

Comment “quiz” and I’ll send you my quiz to determine if your nervous system is sensitized.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s: emotions, thoughts, or symptoms like anxiety or pain, it’s all the same.

Something I’m telling people constantly is “throw it all under the same umbrella.” And yes it’s the same. It’s the same advice no matter WHAT you’re experiencing.

Thinking you’re the unique exception and the one person who can’t recover is the hallmark of being sensitized.

Everyone is innocently looking for a way to exclude themselves, which needs to stop if you want to recover.

You don’t need full belief but you can’t just be on a constant quest to prove you’re beyond repair and endlessly broken. Ask me how I know?

Based on a true personal story 🤣

You got this. Your healing won’t be found in all the tools and coping strategies. The real work is responding with less fear. More free content on YouTube around this topic!
