Dr. Howard Schubiner, pioneer in the mind-body medicine field, joins Grace to explore how many chronic symptoms are actually neuroplastic — created by the brain, and reversible. They discuss what defines a neuroplastic symptom, the key criteria to identify them, and how emotional trauma, misdiagnosis, and disconnection from the self contribute to chronic pain. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or stuck in your healing journey, this episode could be your click moment.

In this episode:

• What neuroplastic symptoms are — and how to know if you have them
• Why chronic pain, fatigue, and anxiety often aren’t caused by structural issues
• The FIT criteria: Functional, Inconsistent, and Triggered symptoms
• How early life experiences shape the brain’s danger alarm system
• The powerful role of assessment in healing
• Why many standard therapies fail without addressing neuroplasticity
• “Click moments” that spark major recovery shifts
• The three core categories of neuroplastic recovery therapy
• Emotional pain vs. physical pain — and how they light up the same brain pathways
• The importance of human connection in the healing process
