Episode 174 - The Recovery Trap That Keeps People Stuck With M.E/CFS

The recovery trap that keeps people stuck with M.E/CFS

One of the most frustrating parts of M.E./CFS recovery is doing all the right things…
and still feeling like nothing is moving. 

You’re trying.
You’re careful.
You’re doing your best. 

And yet, progress feels stuck. In this week’s podcast, I talk about something I see all the time — what I call the recovery trap. It’s not laziness.

It’s not lack of willpower.

And it’s definitely not because you’re broken. It’s a very common pattern that quietly keeps people stuck often without them realising it. 

In the episode, I walk through:
why acceptance isn’t giving up
why chasing your old life can slow recovery
and how doing the right things at the wrong time can keep the body in survival mode If you’ve been plateaued, pushing and crashing, or feeling confused about what to do next… this will likely resonate.
