EP 20 // Brain Retraining During a Flare: Why It Feels Impossible (And What to Do About It)

📣 The Flare Fix Kit is now available! If you've ever found yourself in the middle of a symptom flare thinking, "I know I have tools for this... but I can't remember what they are," or, “I just can’t do it,” this episode is for you.

One of the most frustrating parts of the healing journey is that the moments when you need support the most are often the moments when accessing that support feels impossible.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening in the brain during a flare, why your usual brain retraining tools can suddenly feel inaccessible, and why this experience isn't a sign that you're failing or doing something wrong.

You'll learn:

Why symptom flares often make it harder to think clearly and remember what to do
What's happening in the brain and nervous system when your symptoms spike
The role of the prefrontal cortex and why it takes a backseat during stress
Why self-criticism, overanalyzing, and "fix-it mode" can accidentally keep the flare going
How shame and fear can become part of the symptom loop
Why struggling during a flare is a normal neurobiological response, not a personal failure
The key shift that helps you move through flares more effectively

This episode lays the foundation for next week's conversation, where I'll walk you through exactly what to do during a flare and introduce a simple framework for moving through symptom spikes with more ease and confidence.
