Next Episode: Episode 23 - What is possible in recovery from ME/CFS?

Alex Howard discusses deep rest in ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia recovery. The maladaptive stress response in MECFS keeps the nervous system wired, and mindful rest can help us recover the parasympathetic nervous system. Noticing our personality patterns can help us recognise when we aren't allowing for deep rest when our mind wants us to push through and overexert.
