In this episode, I talk about how symptom flare-ups during ME/CFS or Long Covid recovery are normal, expected, and even a sign of progress. This is due to a phenomenon called an extinction burst, where the brain tries one last time to hold onto old patterns. The key is to continue brain retraining, ignore the symptoms, and focus on self-compassion.
