Episode notes
Brain Creates And Amplifies Sensations
- The brain can create or amplify any sensation anywhere in the body through predictive processing.
- That makes mind-body approaches relevant across dizzying, gut, urinary, fatigue, insomnia, and other symptoms.
Dizziness Is Often A Software Problem
- Vestibular disorders often reflect software (neural circuit) problems rather than fixed hardware damage.
- Many central or peripheral findings describe the problem but not the cause, and are reversible with neuroplastic care.
Use Pain Recovery Principles For Other Symptoms
- Use the same recovery principles for non-pain symptoms as for chronic pain: reduce fear, increase safety, and build connection.
- Apply neuroplastic strategies like Curable's program regardless of the symptom label.
