Episode notes
From Bedbound PPPD To Turning Point
- Sam Miller describes becoming bedbound with severe PPPD and vestibular collapse that made basic movement and light intolerable.
- That extreme phase became the turning point that led her to a unified mind-body recovery approach.
Symptoms As Signals, Not Just Problems
- Sam realized many chronic conditions share the same root: unresolved emotional material and disconnection from the self.
- She found the symptom was actually a signal and pathway to the resolution she needed.
Use A Scheduled Exposure Routine
- Create a tight daily schedule that repeatedly and gently exposes you to feared stimuli to produce prediction errors.
- Stick to routine exposure at the level you can tolerate to retrain the brain's safety model.
