A very reasonable price for a course and I bet it will be top notch with cutting edge science. It may be part of the jigsaw for some of us, I've had to do lots of body work such as lymphatic osteopathy and gutt healing, but I'm certain brain training is pretty much essential. Well done team Raelan 👏

[nolamayer]

Thank you so much for all you do Raelan. You have walked the walk and talked the talk so I believe you are more than competent at putting together a wonderful course that I can’t wait to get started on. Once again thank you 🥰

Live your channel too. But I agree with the other comment, I have taken Dr Cat s course and I paid around 80/90 bucks per month and cancelled it after 2 months after having gone through all the content ( in the pace she suggested) so I wasn't rushing but I also did not wanna pay longer than needed as I already spend thousands of euro on trying to heal. I had great success and I found her through u and Liz, which I am super gretful for ❤ however, comparing the content preview with her course and the price I paid (180 ish euro) I feel the price is not justified and I feel its disappointing to see this prize tag for the amount of content. I also agree, it is surely meant from a good place but I just would like to remind that most people have already spend so much on trying to get better. Not meaning that we expect you to work for free and provide all your great content for free but to be a little bit more sensible with pricing considering what other programs are out there for same price but so much more content.

Ohh Raelan I'm so so happy and proud and excited of you and for you!!!

You've come such a long way.. Look at you now! I'm kinda emotional haha🙈☺️

What you've done for the CFS/ME community is nothing short of HUGE and so so kind ❤❤❤

I'm very happy to be in a place in where i don't need your course! Hihihi
But i wish i were kinda, it would've been amazing to work with you!

I love you very much! Thank you for all the work you continue to do and have done!! Biggest warmest hugs ❤❤❤

[lianpeet]

Good for you, Raelan, taking all that you've experienced and learnt, and teaching it to others. I'm sure it will help many!

I usually support your channel but this course does not sit well. The price tag is VERY high in comparison with other courses and as far as I am aware, you do not hold qualifications to guide people on such a delicate journey.

I also recall you did not use brain re training on your own recovery so this does not come from experience neither!

Brain retraining is very very important but ME/CFS/Long covid people are vulnerable and there are cases so severe that it will be heartbreaking for many to splurge $300+ for a short course that will likely not be good enough.

Sorry about the lengthy comment I know your intentions are probably good! Just concerned about the lack of resources and research dedicated for post-viral illnesses

What do you think about Neuro feedback a llot side it

[SuperKabookie]

We still continue to evolve today. So, our brains have changed over time and developed to cope with our environments now.

[kaseyahlstrom]

300 dollars is not a high price especially considering all the work raelan has put into this channel. She has to make a living somehow and this channel is not going to do that for her. She has qualifications of beating me/cfs herself and living through it with her mother and grandmother and starting a conversation on this channel that was non existent before her.

She deserves nothing but love and respect and 300 dollars is less than you’d pay for the supplements you buy or doctors appts you’d make.

It is not cool to shame her. If you don’t want to buy it, don’t. But don’t shame her for trying to make a living when she has probably put in thousands of hours for free on this channel.

I agree that we need more research on post viral illnesses, but that is not raelans wheelhouse. Doctors and researchers need to put the money into the research, not her.

hey Realan! 

thank you for your content! I really appreciate what you do for our community. 

I was wondering if you could have tips for people with brain fog (like me) who struggle really focusing on these brain retraining exercises. Meditation does help a bit, but not a whole lot... I feel like these mantras don't really break below the surface level, because I can't assess that part very often...

[casielee]

I got a virus, got into a car wreck, had an ectopic pregnancy, had surgery and got pregnant within a few months. And wondered why I “got sick”. 😂

[Mansfield]

Oh raelan I wanted to be there personally to catch you every time you trip over “threat assessment systems” 😂- all jokes aside that bit about allostatic load was much needed to help better handle the next crash.Thx again😊

[BloodyCheCha]

Hello dear Raelan. I am doing some of your exercises from your brain retraining program, and something that is occurring really often is that i fall asleep while sitting and doing the exercises . I wanted to ask am i doing something wrong and why is this happening ? Thank you so much

[marijanam]

Hi Raelian.I have a question.If I choose to pay 99$ for month to month (3 times) in first month can I watch your whole programme or just one part of the programme?

[GerryLagios-lfjt]

Nice video except looking at it from an evolutionary process is not really accurate, the theory of evolution is that a Théory. A theory that has more holes in it than all the golf courses in the Carolinas but your explanation of the process of the body and its response to warnings that are not really dangerous was great
