In this episode, Junior Ky shares insights from his daily work supporting people with ME/CFS and Long Covid: why emotional processing matters more than overthinking, how recovery unfolds in stages, why intentions shape outcomes, how to set boundaries wisely, what truly helps children and caregivers, and what support looks like after recovery begins.

🧡 Did you know that when you join the CFS Recovery Academy, both you and the person supporting you get separate coaching calls? Caregivers need a different kind of support than the person going through chronic illness!

Could childhood trauma be fueling your Long Covid symptoms? I used to think this idea was ridiculous—but the science of the mind-body connection says otherwise. In this video, I explain:

- How trauma can wire your nervous system for chronic symptoms
- Why this doesn’t mean you’re broken (and why it’s good news)
- Simple steps to start calming your body’s alarm system

This might be the missing piece in your recovery puzzle. Watch until the end to learn how to turn off the symptoms for good.
