If you’ve been healing your nervous system but it feels messy, emotional, or confusing—you’re not doing it wrong. In this video, I’m breaking down 5 signs of nervous system healing that don’t feel like healing, plus bonus signs that your body is finally starting to regulate and rewire itself.

"Your body knows how to heal, you just need to get out of the way ".
Woow 🙂

You’ll learn how to recognize progress even when it feels like regression—and why the discomfort you’re feeling might actually be proof that you’re becoming someone new.

I don't trust someone who just wants to sell his $300 course. It's very telling that no matter what answers i choose on your quiz, there are always "warning signs"

I think I was a victim of narcissistic abuse (I know that people love to use that term to describe like everyone they had some kinda of beef with but mine was literally abuse and especially the time AFTER the not romantically "relationship" and u can notice hints of the abuse just because I'm explaining in this way to not be misunderstood since that person painted me the opposite way I am.
I lost some weight (and I had and have other problems) after that experience and now I'm re-gaining it and im so happy

Thank you Maggie so much. The only question here is - how to know if it is healing or something is wrong again. I also have Gilberts syndrome. And it makes everything more complocated - medicine says I neet to go to bed early, diet, inly easy sport, I need to avoid stress. It is a quest of symptoms!. Last coulpe of months my IBS and insomnia disappeared, now here there are again. But now I cry a lot. I have spent tho weeks alone, and one messy alcoholig person died 2 weeks ago - that neans more safety for me. Maybe it healing, snd it helps a lot, there is a chance that I do everything right

Im 34. Always did sports, looked after myself but guess what? I didnt looked after my mental health. Over stimulated myself for a decade, coffeine, adrenaline, social media etc an over stressed lifestyle once just boiled over in the gym and there you go a panic attack. It had symptoms before that i understood later that yeah.. that was it, i just didnt care. I messed up my amygdala for a couple of months, i had hyper awareness ( i dont know how they call it in english) and sensitivity to the slightest things around me, micro panic events from literally the slightest stress or inner body movements, i literally heard my heart pumping so many times. i had nights that i simply just couldnt fall asleep.. i understand my body very well and i felt that adrenaline constantly blasting through my body night after night. Scary AF. I was happy when i only woke up once or twice for the cortisol and had no adrenalin blast afterwards.. its worst then any broken bone or ligament that i ever had, because you are SO vulnerable to it, its so random from even a resting position it gives you symptomes like you having some heart problems. Woke up in the middle of the night shaking like im in an ice bucket, woke up once panicking in the first 5 second from sleeping my pulse up to 130. Thats something no one wants. First thing in mind? Heart attack. But not, its just what my amigdala stored as data from previous events.. also my belly got messed up 3 times randomly under a month as the brain and the stomach strongly connected “gastrointestinal axis “ so if your nervous sistem sensitive the stomach follows it.. Nervous system can literally mimic all the serious psysical health problems. All my visits to doctors and all the results of my body are perfect. They sometimes act like they dont even want to see me anymore because im just wasting their time, they not psychologists. Never thought this kind of stuff could happen to me, i thought i am bulletproof in and out but this is likely the best lesson i ever learned in my life, and this was God message to me that its time to slow down and settle. Thank you for your video and sharing your experience so bravely❀

Over the past few weeks, the mental symptoms has been shifting to the physical. Anxiety attacks have been replaced with tension headaches and now that those are subsiding (I was getting them daily) and my gut and digestive health has been starting to get a little out of whack. And not to be too gross but I'm starting to be "regular" again. Now I feel like I'm dead in the middle of the "uncertain identity". It does help me feel tremendously better that you're validating what I'm experiencing right now. It's awful having the "what is wrong with me" and "why can't I feel normal" feelings. I do still have attacks, but I've been noticing they're less severe and I recover a little quicker. I'm not out of the woods and won't be for a while, but i do notice an improvement.

Micromanaging bodily responses can become exhausting. But I’m in a season where I am taking control of my thoughts. I’m refusing to keep ruminating, I have to pick up and acknowledge when I feel anger for no reason. I need to deal with those thoughts quickly to stop my mind from defaulting to a place of anger. Sometimes micromanaging thoughts until you rewire your neural pathways are necessary.

I am still thorn between this and my high expectations, dream of starting a business or taking up a management role. It's like I still don't know what to do with my life if I would give that up. Dropping out of IT and doing a job that doesn't need a degree still feels like a failure.

Do you have any experience with trigeminal neuralgia?
And phantom teeth moving sensations due to the trigeminal neuralgia.
A friend of mine had the balloon ganglia surgery back in June 2024.
And as a result after the surgery they've had persistent numbness in their face, and their top upper three molars on the left side feel like they move and slide around even though they are solid and structurally do not move but to my friend's tongue they feel like they move all around but when she touches them like with her finger she realizes that they're solid.
It's a phantom moving sensation.
Any tips on how to overcome this?

Yep so true. I in this too. I wear myself out trying to find a solution to fix this. Now with ai search tools it can be helpful to have some information but it also leads to a Rabbit Hole trying to fix everything at once. Thats how o found your video, because i was searching for this topic.

Thanks for this insightful video🙏

I completely appreciate your videos an do relate to your story. The guidance is almost like your in my head. Divorced after 40 yrs, she left me for a job. Ex- wife then moved in with my mother a year later, completely trash talked about me to my whole family who no longer talk to me. My 11 Saint Bernard in my life developed a fatal disease, I spent the next 65 days keeping him alive, he is 100% healthy an I still coupd not sleep more than 2 hrs for the next 3 months. I have tried everything. Then i stopped, trying, I just focused on my what I wanted in life, the 4th month, on the 3rd day, I stopped all supplements an slept 6.5 hrs for the first time in 3 years, that day, I found your videos 😊

Thank you.🙏 needed to hear this. I have been in some deep healing 3 years ago (healing 20 years of trauma and self loathing)

I managed to slip back into that trauma and self loathing again after like 6 months deep in it.

Now I had a 2 months binge of only pleasuring my ego and overstimulating myself, until a point where I "broke" and the healing started again.

Now I am really into it, as my body do not even want hot vegan (healthy food), it only craves raw and fresh ingredients. I literally become sick in my stomach for many hours (so I usually just end up fasting)

It is so crazy to me how much connection you can have to your body, now I feel everything inside, my organs and how I love them for keeping me going❀

Blessing on all of you people doing this healing journeyâ€đŸ™

You are not selfish, this is the least selfish thing you can ever do in your life. You need to heal, love and accept yourself before you try to form meaningful relationships and wanting to heal and help others.

My dream is to become some form of healer (I love sound healing), but I still have a long way to go in order to fully feel I can do it.

Very good video! I understand everything you're saying. I was finding time for myself to walk and meditate but I was still in survival mode. Then my husband went into hospice care at home and I was doing even more. I wasn't slowing down. Then I tripped and fell and broke 6 bones in my foot. It was scary because I'm not a young woman and I have high risk osteoporosis. Then my nervous system decided that my foot was in danger and I developed CRPS - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. That stopped me dead in my tracks.

Who is going to help me retrain my nervous system? Most pain management doctors know nothing about retraining the nervous system. They treat it as structural. So I need to see the pain management doctor to help me walk and I need to see if I can find someone who can actually retrain my nervous system without making it worse. I guess I'll be making some calls.

I'm working with visualization right now because that is the least stressful for the nervous system.

My inner voice has said to journal about fear. Feet have to do moving forward. So yeah, I've had a lot of fear of moving forward. It's hard to plan the next step when you're already grieving.

Finally someone explains why healing often feels like getting worse. The part about “emotional release” really hit home.
