217 - Three Common Recovery Traps (and How to Avoid Them)


Listen Later

I share three common recovery traps and how we can find our way out of them without blame. Today's episode focuses on pacing, nervous system safety, and emotional processing so your body can stabilise and move forwards. 


• Pushing too hard on a better day and triggering the boom and bust cycle 
• Banking energy for healing by spending some, enjoying some, and saving some 
• Stepping off the symptom-fixing merry-go-round and reducing pressure 
• Creating safety through kindness, gentleness, and small consistent cues 
• Recognising the emotional load of long COVID, ME/CFS, and health challenges 
• Finding a safe place to feel emotions without judgement 


So do let me know how you get on, if these resonate with you, and if you've noticed any other common recovery traps that you might be getting waylaid by.
