🔥 Symptoms are just the smoke — the real question is, where's the fire?

Sam Miller explains that in conditions like ME/CFS and chronic illness, chasing symptoms will only get you so far. What actually matters is understanding why they're there in the first place — and almost always, that answer leads back to unprocessed trauma and survival energy that never got to complete.

And trauma doesn't have to look dramatic. Sometimes it's simply never being allowed to be yourself.

One thing that really helped Coach Bjorn when things felt heavy or confusing?

He wrote it down.

When symptoms showed up…
When emotions felt messy…
When frustration built up…

Journaling gave him a place to let everything surface — even the complicated feelings that didn’t make sense at first.

And over time, that helped him understand himself better instead of suppressing what he felt.

Sometimes clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder.
It comes from letting yourself write honestly.

👉 “Am I doing somatic tracking right?”

In this clip, Coach Devon explains why somatic tracking doesn’t work when we secretly use it to “fix” or get rid of symptoms — and how that keeps the brain on high alert.

Somatic tracking is about bringing gentle, curious attention to sensations and practicing outcome independence: noticing what’s there without needing it to change right now. That’s how we show the brain these sensations are safe.

👉 Before this conversation, I asked the community a simple but very loaded question: What are the taboo topics around ME/CFS and Long COVID recovery that no one wants to talk about?

Not the surface-level stuff.
The uncomfortable questions people carry quietly.
The ones that feel risky to say out loud.
The ones you need answers to… but rarely hear addressed anywhere.

When the responses came in, I knew immediately who I wanted to have this conversation with.

I needed someone with thick skin.
Someone unafraid to say the unpopular thing.
And someone who brings both lived experience and professional insight to these topics with honesty, care, and nuance.

That’s why I invited back Miguel.

In this episode, we don’t dodge the hard questions. We slow them down, look at them clearly, and talk about what actually helps people make sense of recovery...without fear or shame driving the conversation.

💭 This is one of those basics you’ll need to hear more than once. 👇

When symptoms shift or new ones appear, fear tends to take over.
But as coach Devon explains, this is a normal part of a brain stuck in protection mode.

The mistake is reacting to each symptom as a new problem.
The solution is remembering what’s actually happening — and responding with safety instead of fear.

The basics don’t change.
We just forget them when things feel scary.

I’m two years behind on DMs, and if I haven’t gotten back to you personally, I want to explain why.

If I tried to respond to everyone one-on-one, it would take an unfeasible amount of hours every single week.

In fact, for the first two to three years of doing this work, I did respond to everyone personally. It took hours every week, and I’m not even sure those replies were always the most helpful for the person on the other end.

Since then, things have grown, and now no matter how hard I tried, I simply wouldn’t be able to keep up.

What I’ve come to realize is that I can either focus on supporting many people through my YouTube channel, my recovery program (Brain Retraining 101), and other free resources, or spend nearly all of my time replying individually.

Many creators at this stage opt to hire individuals or teams to reply for them, and I honestly think that can be a smart and caring solution. Everyone gets a response and everyone feels seen.
I’m not saying my way is better. It’s simply the path I’ve chosen. I want anything that comes from this account to be written by me, and realistically, hiring someone to help with this isn’t an option for me right now.

I truly hope modern tools will eventually help me respond more personally in a way that’s sustainable. Until then, please know this:

If I haven’t replied, it’s not because I don’t care. I see you. I read many messages. I’m just one human.

If you’d like support, please check my bio for the ways I share recovery information and support:

- Weekly newsletter
- Brain Retraining 101 (online recovery program)
- YouTube channel with multiple new videos every week

Thank you for your understanding and for being here ❤️

👉 Dr. David Mickel is back, and as always, this conversation goes right to the heart of what so many of you are wrestling with.

He brings a perspective that cuts through a lot of noise especially around brain retraining. In this episode, we talk about why focusing on the brain as the solution can sometimes miss the deeper point, and how recovery often isn’t about fixing, forcing, or overriding the body.

What I appreciate most about these conversations with Dr. Mickel is the steadiness. There’s no urgency, no promises, no pressure to “do it right.” Just a clear, respectful look at why the body adapted the way it did — and why healing so often starts with listening rather than pushing.

If his work has resonated with you before, this one builds on that foundation in a really meaningful way.
