How I Overcame Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with Mind-Body Healing

Rebecca talks with with Lena Champy on her Horizon podcast about how to recover from ME/CFS, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, insomnia, brain fog, Long Covid and other stress-related symptoms. From across the pond, they both discovered the power of mind-body healing to regain their health and find new meaning. They unpack the legacy of Dr. John Sarno, who coined mind-body symptoms TMS, and Dr. Howard Schubiner. Rebecca and Lena also discuss the life-giving value of creativity, pleasure and play! 🤸🏽‍♀️☀️🎨

Thanks for this long very helpful talk !
After almost 18 years of fibromyalgia - pains, I embraced a year ago with the Tms- approach.. mentally really doing great but the pains are excruciating as is the insomnia.. but since a month I try to stay calm with the pain and trust that that way I will finally turn down the symptoms. Your story Rebecca, is what keeps inspiring me day in day out!
I’m so grateful for your presence here!
Keep up the good work !
Love from France 🇫🇷 !
Stay healthy and happy!
🤗🌻🤗🌻💕💕💕

Beyond fantastic - will listen several times

Thank you & Merci ... to both of you.
Wonderfully helpful.

At the moment, tinnitus / hyperacusis & head pressure are bearing down on me - along with good-ole ME/CFS fatigue.

This was timely and comforting.

I love Dr. Schubiner's description of CFS/ME "PTSD for the body." My trauma before getting it the first time was not huge - but I had 15 major stressors in one year. Mononucleosis morphed into CFS/ME. I did have a traumatic birth with a violent car accident and was 3 months early -- and in the 50s there was no preemie care. I was also bullied as I a small child until my mother taught me to defend myself. Though I learned to fight back (later sexual assaults as well as bullies) that doesn't release the trauma, though it kept me from becoming depressed. I too received the multiple diagnoses - ME has more names than a bandit! (I used to joke I wanted something with fewer syllables and more energy.) The doctor who describe it best called it "The pain, the brain, the energy drain, and oh god, I wish I could sleep again!" Getting OFF medications and learning to face the emotions and old trauma helped me recover by 80% - until the worst trauma of my life. This video explains so much about how I recovered the first time - and why it got worse again. This is wonderful, supportive, and educational. This tells me I'm still on the right track. Many thanks to you both!

12:30 this is exactly how I Feel.

I love and relate to the beginning of this interview so much. Thank you for sharing this talk 🤍🤍

[briechilli]

Yes i am experiencing long covid (insomnia, palpitations, fatigue, exhaustion all the time, panic anxiety, dread, brain fog cognitive issues) and doctor told me, brain is inflamed, spike protein bla bla bla, mitochondria) blood tests are fine. She put so much fear into me. My naturopath says, rubbish, you are traumatised. It is so confusing.

[cmac]

This is such an amazing interview ❤️❤️❤️

[mercilein]

Your Videos are amazing and helping sooo many people including myself 🙏🥰 thank you by heart ❤ God bless you!

[Michaela]

Such a beautiful and helpful conversation 💗 Rebecca did you do plant based diet and heavy metal detoxes while healing? I know they say that heavy metals could contribute to CFS n POTS, do you believe that?

[briechilli]

I spend my nights with insomnia but im in a state of dread. Even listening to meditations on my earphones and breathing my body cannot let go and relax and im feeling the dread. I have to keep getting up out of bed.

[briechilli]

Rebecca, how did you keep your self mentally sane through all those years ?
