"Responding to symptoms with coherence and safety, rather than fear, can help reverse vicious cycles of ill health."
"Many people with ME/CFS and long COVID are told that nothing is wrong with them; none of this is based on science but is rather a misunderstanding."
The article discusses the emerging psychoneuroimmunological approach to understanding ME/CFS and long COVID, emphasizing the interconnections between psychosocial factors and bodily systems. Unlike traditional views that seek a single cause of illness, this perspective acknowledges the complexity of these conditions. Current research suggests that targeting chronic inflammation, gut health, and mental health can enhance recovery. The author, a psychologist, also stresses the importance of patients understanding their conditions, highlighting that they signify a dysregulated rather than broken state, which can lead to effective interventions.
