- Angela Lawrence had a severe case of Long Covid with a debilitating mix of psychiatric and physical symptoms. The therapist and mother found herself bed bound for many months with exhaustion, POTS, brain fog, head pain and insomnia. She experienced a dramatic recovery through mind-body healing. This is one of the most incredible stories I've ever heard! You can sense Angela's joy for living, a far cry from the days where she felt barely alive.

This is my exact story!!! I’m crying just listening 😢
What beautiful tears! May they lead to your own deep healing. 💖
Thank you ❤
@@lisaterrana-weber7638 💖
I am crying just listening also. I have mental illness in my family and that makes it more scary
@@barbaraamrein6834 I'm glad that you can get in touch with your emotions, which is so important in our healing journey. I understand your concern about your family. But I'm also guessing they didn't have access to this branch of mind-body healing, which is life-changing. We're rooting for you!
Wow, I've never heard a story i could relate to so much. I also had the psychiatric presentation of long-covid. The derealization/depersonalization and doom feeling, anxiety and depression were the worst of all the symptoms. I made a lot of progress the last couple years and got it again and now I'm digging my way out... once again. Hoping the second time is easier than the first.
You are sooo resilient! That sounds incredibly challenging. GOOD FOR YOU for all your progress-not just once but twice. I'm very much hoping and guessing that the second time will be easier!
Sometimes COVID sets off or reactivates what is underneath - so if you have mold, low hormones, low vitamin d, Lyme or chronic Lyme, it can contribute to the compound effect of neuroinflammation in the body
@@carolinenielands754 I completely get it! I had those same issues and diagnoses and still recovered from 13 years of debilitating ME/CFS using this mind-body approach! The brain controls the other systems in our body so when we turn down the danger alarm signal in the brain and regulate our nervous system, our body can find balance again. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best!
Rebecca, I’m so interested in your work. I don’t know if you’ll read this but what do you think about mitochondrial dysfunction? And thyroid dysfunction and adrenal dysfunction? Do you think all these things are corrected by mind-body practices potentially? I’ve seen so many people who seem to divide them into two camps and I’m wondering if you teach people to tackle both top down Which is mind-body and bottom up which might be some of these downstream with the things like mitochondrial dysfunction. Or do you simply focus on the mind-body connection and that seems to take care of the rest? Thank you.
@@brooksbarton-ne9sm Thank you and great Q's! I was told I had mitochondrial dysfunction and many other downstream issues like Leaky Gut and Epstein-Barr but those treatments never helped me overcome 13 years of ME/CFS. I came to believe that the brain and nervous system are causing the symptoms, as well as corresponding physiological changes, due to perceived danger and learned neural pathways. In order to treat the root cause, we work with the brain and nervous system primarily. Otherwise, it's a game of Whac-O-Mole, chasing all the downstream effects! Often, I see people spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on supplements and treatments that are not proven and don't provide lasting relief. I'm so sympathetic because I was there myself! We want to support our body with nourishing food, movement, relaxation, enjoyment etc. But I've found that focusing on this mind-body method leads to deeper, more lasting healing!
Dear Rebecca, you are such a beautiful soul! Thank you so much for this incredible, wonderful, heartwarming and inspiring interview! Angela is such an incredible strong human beeing! You both show what is possible for all of us! I feel so week right now but I know that I have all the strength within me that I need. I can come out of darkness! People like you two show the way and hold a candle for us! Thank you! Thank you! With love from Sweden.❤
Dear one, it's clear that you carry so much light and love within you! 🕯I know it's hard to imagine recovery when you're feeling so down. But it IS possible for you! It starts with a new paradigm, and then new habits. See how you might find little glimmers of peace, hope and relief moment by moment. This is your path to healing. Sending love back to you from San Diego to Sweden! ❤️
Congrats Angela on your triumph recovery, EPIC. You're a real WILD one!
EPIC for sure! Clearly, she's in good company! 😃
She said she stopped trying to heal, but then says how she journaled, did soma work, exercise, tried to understand her head pressure, tapping, etc. That’s still trying to heal!
It's not about what you do but how you do it. You can do the work with force, anxiety, and rigidity but you can also do it without wanting to fix yourself.
@acissej_01
Beautifully said and I agree completely!
@deelicious1610
I can see why this would be confusing! It's more about the attitude we bring. We can journal, do somatic work and exercise with curiosity and compassion, rather than trying to fight or fix ourself. I hope that helps clarify things a bit!
Gosh this sounds exactly like my story! Wild to meet someone with the same presentation! I am also healing through a mind-body approach :)
@vanessawilhelm594
Wow! It sounds like you've been on a wild ride too. I'm so glad you're healing through a mind-body approach! Let me know if I can help you!
That was amazing thanks Rebecca and Angela 😊 i feel like this vid popped up for a reason I'm experiencing a lot of the same symptoms the main ones for me are anxiety, panic, shortness of breath and dizziness. I also think i have pots. I'm so glad Angela spoke about the depersonalization because I had no idea what is was and it's been jarring. I'm going to look into your self paced course as I have a baby and im in Australia so it will work better for me 🙂 would love to get to where Angela is at she seems so happy, confident and positive and I'd love to be like that ❤ going to binge watch more of your vids
@rebeccathornton-fk5yj
Thanks for your comments, Rebecca! I'm so glad you found me and this approach. I know those symptoms can be scary and confusing but there is a way out! I'd love to support your recovery in my self-paced course, which will be opening in late April. It's a great option for Australians, who can't attend live classes anyway, and offers flexibility for a mom. You can watch some other success stories here:

I'm so glad to hear that! May it serve your wellbeing!
what a beautiful ,profound understanding . I'm going in :)
Go for it!! You've got this. 🥰
It’s like h Christmas Day when I see a new video from Rebecca haha😊
Hello Eric! I was waiting for you to pop up on Christmas Day! You're the sweetest. And Angela is amazing!
Haha, my tms has shifted to anxiety about you not making videos anymore
@@ezza1236 Haha! These videos take me a good while to make but I love doing so. More are on the way, even if I keep you in suspense!
Thank you so much. Both of you are so genuine and full of joy. There are wonderful lessons here. I am experiencing these same feelings. It is uplifting to know there is a way out. Thank you.
I'm so touched by your comments! There is absolutely a way out. The fact that this resonates with you is a good sign. Even in the dark times, keep following your own authenticity and joy moment by moment! They are healing.💝
What an amazing story I can relate to so much, been twice in a psychiatric clinic because of my LC symptoms. Now since one month of a brain retraining program Im getting a little bit better, but still a long way to go, I hope its goanna be shorter but it got to take time how much it will take. Surrender and let be how it is right now, what will be will be. Im two years in now. But what I learn in those years is far more then I ever learnt in my life time about myself and about life in general. Im also thinking about to participate at Rebecca's course, it sounds really great. Big thanks for the great interview 🙂
My heart goes out to you for your suffering. You are clearly so resilient to endure that, and find some relief with brain training! Many people, like Angela, come to me after making some progress but realize they're ready to explore their somatic and emotional experience too. It's true that our healing journey can become our great teacher! I love your attitude. I would be delighted to support you further in my Be Your Own Medicine program!
By the way, have you seen my blog on Angela? Her photos and written words are so powerful.

Thanks so much!!!!
You're so welcome!
Great interview, what an incredibly inspirational story of profound healing ❤🎉
Angela is truly inspiring, and we all have the capacity for deep healing! May her story inspire you!
Thank you Rebecca and Angela for this beautiful interview. The mental aspect of long covid is huge and yet unfortunately sometimes brushed over. It’s very frightening but needs to be discussed so we can continue to understand, learn, and support people going through this nightmare. I am so happy for you Angela. I believe your transformation is just beginning ❤
@lindsayh1502
So true, Lindsay! These symptoms can manifest mentally, emotional and physically, as I know you know. Thanks for your kind words and for sharing your light too! 🌟
Wow! What an amazing inspirational story
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Angela is so inspirational.. and we all have this potential!
This video is so powerful and has so many.... gems, golden nuggets and words of wisdom. That you don't hear it all, in just listen to it once, as it simply so meaty. You have to listen to Angela recovery story 2 or 3 times to get the full impact. Thank you Angela your healing testimony.
For me cleaning trigger fatigue, so have had your testimonial on in the background whilst doing cleaning today. It actually worked as I was tricking my brain that it was an enjoyable experience because I was listen to your incredible recovery experience from long-Covid.
@janedavies9729
I agree completely, Jane! Angela has so many insights. I've listened and listened to her during the video editing process and kept feeling uplifted from her wisdom, grit, grace and joy! I love that you're sharing this with your subconscious mind while cleaning!
And of course, you have an absolutely amazing recovery story yourself! I hope you don't mind me sharing it here.💖

Thank you Rebecca Tolin. I wasn't going to reply, as I didn't want to deflect from Angela incredible success story.
However as you shared the link to our interview/my story above in your reply to me....I have just done a an update for folks to read.
Yes hard to believe I return to work 11 months ago now.
I can remember, my first shift back in work after being off with long-Covid for 14 months that was in April 2023. It was 3hrs shift only, and I was totally exhausted!!
It wasn't an easy journey to recovery, constantly having to regulate my nervous system and recognise great fear/emotions inside of me....would I lose my job, how would I cope financially, what would my future look like.
I had to regulate my nervous system so that my brain wasn't living in this state of high stress fight/flight mode that long covid causes. It the uncertainty that so hard to deal with long-Covid. This is where Rebecca Tolin somatic track mediations are so welcoming and helpful.
It took me 6 months for me to get back to full (time hours at) work, which I still think is a miracle!
In summary (the past 11 months), I got covid again for the second time, a few month after returning to work whilst still working part time hours and trying to get back to full time hours.
I got back to full time work, applied for higher position and got the job. My job is challenging as it doesn't just demand full time hours but it's the shift pattern eg. 13hrs shifts which are problematic as still I am experience some long-Covid symptoms.
How was I ever going to be able to work these 13hr shifts pattern again, was it even achieveable. Most people work pattern shift are 7.5hrs which I've been able to do and maintained since returning to work. However since January 2024, I've had to work the odd 13hr shift...wow. I am still amazed at the resilience of my body, never thought this was possible, so happy.
So many other health care professionals have not been able to return to work and my ♥ heart goes out to them. My advice do Rebecca Tolin Be your own medicine course has it packed with essential information to aid recovery.
The month of March 2024 I've worked x2 13hr shift per week plus shorter shifts making my hours up to full time.
If I do a 13hr, then I have to have the next day off as I am simply exhausted.
My job is full on from the time I walk into work to the time I leave shift.
Friends have been amazing at my long-Covid recovery, so far.
However I have to point out here: I daily put the work in, as I understood this aids my recovery,
I am both healed and healing. As its important for me to regulate my nervous system and check in with 'how I am feeling', plus doing the mediations and investing in looking after myself mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritual on a daily basis and during the day if required.
This isn't something I ever understood before long-Covid diagnosis.
Plus I undertook Rebecca Tolin course 'Be Your own medicine,' which I found was a really life line.
I still have some long-Covid symptoms mild- moderate fatigue and insomnia. On my day off I do absolutely nothing no household chores, nothing!
On these days, I might not ever shower, (just being honest, so you understand), level of tiredness.
If I do stuff on my day off, or when I am on annual leave. Then I have awful insomnia TMS symptoms back that night or the fatigue will increase when I return to work. If my body could talk it would be telling me 'Jane, you pushing your engery levels hard in work, don't push me on your day off and when you on leave aswell'. Yet this is my nervous system running 🏃 scared and these symptoms are TMS, I know that. So I am not to worry, as I have the tools from Rebecca course to deal with this. There no reason, why I can't start to introduce more stuff into life.
Recently I've been reading a book Rebecca Tolin mentions on her course called 'Fierce self compassion' by Dr Kristin Neff. This book is brilliant its helping me to slowly do more on my days off by showing myself more self compassion.
On a personal note I have lived on high stress levels for most of my life, so it only now am I recognised the effects and the need to calm my nervous system. As long-Covid fatigue is attribute by both 'physical' activity plus 'mental' activity.
For me and Angela doing Rebecca course certainly gave us the tools to help with long-Covid.
Be encouraged by all these success stories there is hope at the end of the tunnel.
You need to tap into this teaching, if you haven't already.
@@janedavies9729
Thank you for this wonderfully nuanced update, Jane! YOU ARE SO RESILIENT! You truly do the work and the daily meditations to regulate your nervous system and offer self-compassion. You are a beautiful example of how persistence and patience can lead to greater and greater wellbeing and self-discovery! That's amazing that you're up to full-time hours in such a demanding profession. A 13-hour day in a high-stress environment would be grueling for anyone! I wish the healthcare system didn't ask that of nurses. It's such vital and rigorous work that you do. I hope you can also take gentle care of yourself in between the demanding times: resting, relaxing, being in nature, listening to music and dancing when energy allows! Sending heaps of gratitude and respect your way!
Rebecca Tolin a massive thank you.
To anyone reading this I've had many life experiences both negative and positive over the years and then getting Long-Covid!
These experiences 'stopped me in my tracks' whether in rapture/happiness or sadness/loss.
However with long-Covid I felt as if someone had pressed 'pause' (on VCR video machine, which was my life), for 14 months.
Scary days.
Rebecca Tolin I will always be 'eternal grateful' for your course 'Be Your own medicine', like so many others who undertook your course over the years.
Sending much love blessing and gratitude to you and your life work.
Since Long Covid, I am learning a 'new sense' of... 'being' and living in the 'now'. Whatever that looks like. Long-Covid, changed my life, forever.
Thank you for helping me get my life back through your course.
It's a new way/sense of 'being'.
I am so grateful to God, Life and to your work..
I certainly count my blessings every day.
I was in awe listening to Angela interview above everyone covid journey is different. We all learn different things from this experience.
None of this is easy folks. Yet help is out there.
@@janedavies9729 Oh Jane, it's been a delight to have you in my Be Your Own Medicine course and read your insights and wins over these months! Your perseverance, courage, faith and inner light shine through. I admire and applaud your amazing progress! When we are in the now, all is okay. It's a practice to return to present moment awareness again and again. Thanks for your uplifting words and blessings, Jane! 💛🥰
Wauw Angela. Im so happy for you! The love inside is coming out. This is beautiful. And its truth!
@hellethun3995
Beautifully expressed! I love how love and truth emanate from Angela!
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach that was so inspiring. I had a spiritual awakening years ago, that started like that. It lasted some years and I practised yoga and meditation a lot. It made me change career and become a singer and performer. But that ended up with stress and long Covid. So still things to solve here. But I'm moving forward in recovering. I want this spiritual connection back. Its time now. I just need to release myself out of these trauma and loss, and protective mechanisms. Thank you for inspiration 🙏♥️Gives me hope for myself and inspiration to do more inner selfcare adn continue even further, even as Im getting past the worst part of all these extreme pains and panic's of this disease.
@@hellethun3995
What an amazing spiritual awakening and catalyst you experienced! I'm sorry for your current suffering and know it well. It can that there are new and deeper layers to examine and heal in this particular chapter. And it sounds like your spirit calling you back to connection. Our symptoms can be a cry for deeper love and expression. I feel this potential in you!
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach This is what i realize too... I think you are totally right about that. I am starting to commit to find my way home again, on a deeper level. Yes.... 🙏
@@hellethun3995
I get the goosebumps reading your words! What a beautiful commitment. May you indeed find your way home on ever deeper levels. As Ram Dass once said, "we are all just walking each other home." 💜

So glad i came across this, 2 week after covid, I completely lost my mind, severe anxiety, doom, insomnia, twitching, dpdr, treamors, im still dealing with cfs, anxiety, depression, brain fog, the mental aspects have gotten better, i dont know how to get past the physical problems. Im horrified, and scared, i have been doing brain retraining for a few month's and i hope i get out of this nightmare.
@michelefrench4090
Hi Michele, I'm so glad you found me too! Angela is a living example of the potential of this branch of mind-body healing. I know it can be so scary to face these daunting symptoms, and I'm sorry for your suffering. I was terrified when I first got ME/CFS and had many of the same symptoms. Know that many people have recovered from the same symptoms you are facing. We'd love to support you in your recovery!
💝
Have the same !! How are u now
Yes its shut down!! Thanks!!
Been sick in 8 yrs and Think my nervous system been more worse, but i always shut down my feelings
I Think my is because my nervous system never are safe because or childhood
Very very inspiring! I'm on this journey but not surrendered yet! Been fighting the symptoms and taking every supplement under the sun. This has helped me.
May Angela's story inspire you on your recovery journey! It's amazing what can happen when we stop fighting our body and open to its wisdom. Thanks for watching!💖
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible journey of healing and transformation. I feel so close to your story. I have been on my own journey for the last few years with extremely similar symptoms. I too have made a lot of progress but I think you have just reminded me of an area I am stuck on. Which is letting go, stopping the resistance to symptoms, stop hating it when they ramp up. Just give in, stop fighting and accept my own experience as it’s is all from me. Self acceptance of who and how I currently am. Learn to love all of myself and to let go.
Thank you and I am so happy seeing your transformation into being such a wise and genuine version of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
@AntonyJS
What a beautiful comment! Angela's experience is profound and your words ring with truth. It's a moment by moment practice to find radical acceptance, yes? But/and, it offers such freedom! I've been enjoying opening my awareness into a space that holds all sensations and stimuli lately, and also remembering that any stray sensations are kind messengers from my brain/nervous system trying diligently to protect me. Thank you for sharing your own deep realizations and I wish you continued self-love!
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach Thank you for your continued effort in helping people like myself. ❤️❤️❤️
@@AntonyJS It's my joy and honor!🥰
Omg that is exactly what I have been experiencing!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. If Angela came through it, so can you!
Now three days after watching this episode with you and Angela. Her wake up reminded me of the most beautiful perioid of my life 25 years ago - as i had a similar breakthrough that lead me to amazing realisations and spiritual connection ind life and art. It led me to an artistical careeer, but the same career and added trauma later in life drew me back into anxiety. Now, recovering from Long Covid and deblilitating illness I really enjoyed finding you, Rebecca, and suck the compassionate approach of yours, in.. This was the first video of yours that I checked out. :)
Now, Im sitting at my desk, with my laptop. And guess what happened just a minute ago. This qote - that i myself have written (referring to my own experiences) on a sticky note, somehow suddenly totallyl unexpected popped up on my screen - I must have touched the Sticky not icon unconssiously... ?
So I see his quite on my screen saying:
"True wisdom is always dearly bought.
The truth is known by its eternal light and grace. Recogninzing your truth is when love breaks through and you recognize the light in yourself and the entire universe. Learning to live is learning to dance in the world with that light!" - Helle Thun
So, I thought I just wanted to share his with you all. Thank you Angela for sharing the process of how the walls of protection that tried to guard you up until now - just fell ! It fell through your self compassionate recovery process. This is a spiritual awakening. So beautifull that you share. This i possible for all of us. We just need to keep up shattering these rigid walls of fear.. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
@hellethun3995
This is so beautiful! What wise words you wrote all those years ago. I can feel that they come from a state of love! Thank you for sharing this and for having the heart to see!
If you had that awakening once, it can come again. In my experience, life is a series of moments where we are invited to wake up to our true nature again and again. I too have experienced moments of spiritual awakening. But like you, I've found that life offers continual challenges and opportunities for forgetting and remembering. Your quote reminds me of this one from Rumi:
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
― Rumi

I've been struggling with POTS, tachycardia during sleep, tremors & shortness of breath🫁... #ANXIETY😩 I need to retrain my 🧠brain!
(I totally understand the intense head pressure, mainly while lying down but i don't really experience that anymore🤔 since 8/2020) Was diagnosed with mild pneumonia on my birthday! ...in 2020🎈

You're so welcome! I'm glad you can get inspiration from Angela's story! And I'm sorry for your suffering. That's challenging. But yes, brain training and mind-body healing are potent medicines! That's great you don't experience the head pressure anymore-a sign of neuroplastic symptoms. I'm rooting for you!
Wow, amazing recovery.

Hey Rebecca! Thanks for the great content. Question regarding PEM. Why do you think there is a delay in symptoms sometimes days after exercise? Thanks!
@TORZITRON1
My pleasure! We see delayed symptoms, such as PEM, coming from a conditioned response in the brain. The subconscious brain starts linking an activity with danger, even when it's safe! Then it generates symptoms some hours or days afterwards. The fact that we don't get symptoms during the exercise is a sign of neuroplastic, or mind-body, symptoms. If you have a broken ankle, your brain will warn you of tissue damage right away! I've seen many, many people recover from PEM through this approach, including myself. Hope this helps you!
Amazing recovery story. Its interesting how long covid is overcome with this mind body work. I have a question is the virus what causes the symptoms or the brains fear of Covid along with the whole lockdown shock and trauma along with personal stress? I am interested to know? Thanks in advance and for the wonderful work you are doing.
@samanthahart2054
Thanks for your comment! Great question. The human body can overcome viruses. But when there's a high level of fear, stress, trauma and/or anxiety, it suppresses our immune function. This also triggers the danger alarm in our brain and our brain can learn these neural pathways. So while the virus is a stressor to the body, we believe it's the compilation of stressors (particularly emotional ones) that causes the cascade of chronic mind-body symptoms. I hope this helps!

I am currently dealing with chronic insomnia which I think is related to long covid and I have no other symptoms .It appeared out of nowhere I just couldn't fall asleep anymore . Feels like I have a ball of stress in the chest . Does anyone managed to find a solution for the insomnia ? Thanks
I so feel for you, as insomnia was my longest and most vexing symptom. But I recovered through this mind-body approach! I also recommend the book Say Goodnight to Insomnia by Gregg Jacobs. I think I talk about insomnia a bit in this video and I plan to make a sleep video in the future!

I know it's challenging but it's something you can overcome!
Angela, did you have any presyncope episodes (feeling like fainting) and me/cfs after covid?
@user-bb3pb1pv2m
I'm not sure if Angela had this exact symptom but she couldn't sit upright without her blood pressure dropping rapidly, so I'm guessing she might have experienced that symptom. Many people with POTS and the symptoms you describe have recovered through this approach. I hope it helps you too!!

@jessicanilsson5941
Hi there, My heart goes out to you. 💓 I've seen people with early trauma recover and feel well again. In my experience, it can take mind-body healing, as described in this video, and working with a somatic therapist or coach over time. Self-compassion, patience and persistence are key!
Can I please have your somatic tracking recording please ?
Sure! You can sign up for my newsletter and get a longer somatic meditation here: www.rebeccatolin.com/newsletter
There's also a shorter somatic tracking on this blogpost: www.rebeccatolin.com/blog/somatic-tracking
Enjoy!
I wish she said more of what she did?
You might watch this unlisted video with Angela! I think she goes into more details here:

Hi! Shifting the mindset was so critical and after that everything I did fell much better into place. But in a nutshell: I started cold plunging, doing daily gentle breath work, journalling, yoga nidra, and exposure to movement and activity (very gentle increases). All of this was (and still is!) done in a relaxed way. I started out being so intense with my healing but finally got that the harder I tried the slower my recovery was.
This is Angela by the way! Lol! I'm using my son's TH-cam account
Oh and being outside in nature. Grounding and visualizing myself being healthy
Rebecca's course was the huge shift but also Jan Rothney's book called Breaking Free from CFS and Long Covid was amazing and helped me really understand the power of visualization
What about microclots causing this deregulation and pressure in the brain?
@annabellegettingwell1531
So far, it's not been proven that microclots are causing symptoms in most patients. I know several people who spent thousands of dollars to treat microclots and saw no improvement. They recovered through this mind-body approach! As we bring stability and safety to the brain and nervous system, it can more easily lower inflammation and find homeostasis.
It’s definitely working for me.
@@annabellegettingwell1531 That's wonderful to hear! I'm happy for you. Do you mind sharing what treatment is working? I'm always curious to learn what helps different people.
How old is Angela?
I don't know her exact age but she mentioned she's in her fifties!
@@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach Thank you. It was a great interview.
@@J.A.706 Thanks so much! Angela has tapped into an inner joy that almost feels childlike!

I offer knowledge and practices in the course to help with the issues you describe!💝
I understand. One day at a time. As triumphant as this story is, it may feel insurmountable. There are not enough resources for the millions that are experiencing Long Covid - LC is not getting the attention and resources that it deserves. We are close in age and I hear you. Do what you can within your power. Eat well, drink lots of clean water, move your body and think positive thoughts. Start small and build on your success. And you’ve got to move your body, walk and swing your arms, to trigger the lymphatic system. I’m on your side and praying for you. I hear you & so get this very difficult situation. Blessings always.
If You not in a safe place no safe people around me ..i Think it is emotions in my body it tell me more and more , im Co depandant ….help other to got love
Around 26 minutes I thought you were saying crystal meth. 😂😂😂!!?!
@Nonessential888
Oh no! That would cause a whole different set of issues! 😂
What about your vaccine injuries?
Hi! Angela here. I didn't have a vaccine injury but I do know people who have
With mind-body symptoms, there can be many different stressors that trigger symptoms, sending the brain/nervous system into hyper-vigilance. As long as there's no tissue damage, which doctors can rule out with routine tests, I see so many people recover from post-Covid and post-vaccine symptoms!
@@legohouse4819 Hi Angela, I have a daughter who is struggling with severe anxiety since her V-ine. How do you know this was not related to that instead of having C-vid?
I will never be able to love what i went thru. No matter how i look at it. Sorry
ditto
Did you recover?
Took 18 months and now I'm dealing with ptsd
Hi! It's Angela here from the interview. It's 100 percent ok to not love the symptoms and experience. It's traumatizing. It was a weird and profound thing for me that I learned to love them. But I don't wish them on anyone. I'm now doing therapy (EMDR) to work through some of the PTSD from the whole experience. Also doing some pretty intense breath work which I can now do and love
@@legohouse4819Angela I am so thankful to hear your story because you explained things that I have also experienced. I am currently working through my own personal journey. I had been terrified that I had to do this on my own and have now accepted that I really have to do this in my own. Thank you for your words of encouragement. If you are open to connecting or have a way communicate I would love to connect. The head pressure is my most intense sensation. And I am currently in a tantrum like you describe as I type.
