This is a great explanation of what CBT can and can't do. I'd like to add that, while there's no way for CBT to fix one's physical CFS symptoms, it *can* help with learning to live with the symptoms. I have chronic fatigue and orthostatic intolerance, with a bunch of anxiety and depression to boot. I've done DBT (an offshoot of CBT) for all of these, and it's taught me a lot about self-compassion. I've also adjusted my expectations of my body and accepted the fact that I'm disabled. In the past, when I had a flare-up, I'd go into spirals of depression and disappointment. Now I barely ever get depressed over my symptoms, because I accept the things I can't do right now (spend hours on my feet, for example, or hold a regular job). I focus on what I can do without hurting myself (like decluttering the whole house over a year) -- and end up being able to do much more than before. A lot of this is thanks to the work I did in DBT. Hope I've managed to get my point across. Picking the right words is hard. Anyway, living with my CFS has gotten much easier, even though my physical symptoms have worsened in the past couple of years.
I just subscribed! Number 60! I just saw Shannon recommend your channel and looking forward to your future videos. When do you upload so i know when to watch? Also would you and Shannon ever do a collab together? I would really love to see that you guys are amazing!
hi !! Thank you for subscribing !! Number 60, that's so exciting !! I upload on Sundays at 1pm BST !! I would definitely love to collab with Shannon one day, I'll let her know about your suggestion !! Thankyou so much ! i really really appreciate it !!
iirc the pace trails actually changed their operationalisation of "recovery" in order to artificially inflate their results - to link this to something else, think about when HM underwent surgery, surgeries that made patients vegetative were regarded as successful as they were no longer - problematic -
Thankyou so much !! i was a little worried about this one because i was having a terrible day yesterday when i was trying to edit !! but its finished now, whew !
