How amazing that you put together your own course! In the “about me” video, it sounds like the course will teach you a multitude of different ways to get well, but the individual lessons sound like they are solely about brain retraining. Can you please clarify what the course is about? Thank you so much! ❤
Raelan and Ben, I think ya'll are fantastic and I'd love to see more collaboration from you guys. You have a back and forth that is very helpful for understanding. I am fully healed in my nervous system after 2 years of integrated nervous system, somatic and brain retraining work, but I often tell people that I am 100 percent healed but also 100 percent human. The food I ate yesterday isn't going to sustain me tomorrow so some things we have to keep putting on our plates. I find getting to the place where future illness or symptoms no longer are a place of fear but simply just an inevitable part of reality and not have that be too triggering really is a great litmus test for how much of that urgency we still have in our system. Ben, I hope to have my 17-year-old son go through your program before he leaves for college as I think hearing things from the male lens is very helpful for young men and will hopefully help him avoid some of the pitfalls of life at University and the stress of leaving home.
Congrats on being 100% healed and 100% human, Dragonfly 🙃 ❤️! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🙏
Which program(s) did you use?
@@RaelanAgleare there courses / sites / information about this in German?
I signed up for Ben's program this past summer because of the first interview he did with you Raelen! I knew if I was gonna watch dozens of videos of someone talking, it better be a voice and a way of communication that appeals to me! The Re-origin program has been great!
Wow, thanks for sharing, Yumzsid! So glad to hear you're doing well with Ben's program.❤️
Love listening to Ben, he is so logical, compassionate and caring. Thank you 🥰
I agree with what you’ve both said, that brain retraining provides a pathway to your body being able to self regulate in a healthful and positive way.
This is my first time hearing his approach and it’s so fascinating. I love knowing my brain can heal like a scratch. I have been retraining for the past 6 months and I have more energy but I’m having increased symptoms with the season change, time change, holidays. These were things that were so exciting for me my entire life until the hypersensitive nervous system started in 2020. I had several things that caused this but I can certainly list them and know how they all impacted me.
Sign up, Re-Origin has been awesome for me too!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 though I must say- it takes tremendous commitment and a whole lot of open minded thinking. Keep the fire 🔥❤️
Can you say more about commitment? Do you mean time wise?
This really was an incredible!! helpful video. The information as well as the tools, loved this. It's going into my "favorites" section to re-watch!
Thank you both!!
Glad it was helpful, Julia! ❤️
I absolutely love your videos, they really provide hope. I'm surprised to see you haven't covered a treatment called the stellate ganglion block. I've seen an awful lot of anecdotal reports where people have been cured or had huge relief from this treatment. It's reported to reset the nervous system.
Had a Stellate ganglion block.. sounded great.. but I just don’t think it was the issue. Also was at a time I was self diagnosing and treating. Am now more confident using the group wisdom here.. I understand many of the symptoms now and related to so much.
@@robertmcgrath7784 thank you for your report, I've spoken to 4/5 people through Reddit who've had life changing responses to it. It all depends on what's causing your illness in the first place, whether you're nervous system is the issue, the doctor who's doing it etc, there are lots of variables. Sorry it didn't work for you though.
@@Peter,
I had never heard of SGB until one hour ago-can’t believe I’m hearing about it a second time already! I need to check this out… thank you!!
Thank you soo much for this
Two of my favs.
So good together that even their clothes and rooms are color coordinated. 😂 Raelan, that pink lamp is so cute!
Haha, thanks!
Great insights! Thank you so much ❤
Another insightful video. A good start to my day. Onward! Thank you Raelan and Ben.
Much appreciated, Hilary!
Thankyou for such a wonderful interview 🙏❤️
Raelan you adk the perfect questions! Lovely guest! Thank you!
This is so good in relation to long covid as well thank you so much.
Very interesting, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Raelan please try to interview Brea Katrin! She has amazing story of recovery and she is now a coach. She helped my recovery immensely. She has some classes online but her UA-cam channel is so valuable on its own! She’s specifically a great resource for Christians seeking to include God in their healing journey
Is agree!! Brea is great!
I’m so sad because I keep trying to do brain retraining for my CFS (I’m in a relapse right now). It helped me before to get to 75% recovery. But during this relapse I’ve been having crippling depression, anxiety, cptsd and insomnia. I don’t know to over come it without medication, I’ve tried every natural remedy out there. It’s so upsetting.
Insomnia, try white chestnut. I've been able to sleep for the past 3 nights after 5 weeks of half a nights sleep broken 4 times.
@@katydonna6015Just ordered, thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻 (Bach Remedy)
So Helpful! Thank You 🙏 I was born into a controlling religion and married a very controlling man. I became very stress sick at 50. Luckily he divorced me and I had some freedom but carrying much guilt from the religion. Life has forced me back in the same house with him. I am partially paralyzed from this man still trying to control and judge me and the memory comes back but I am 79 and unable to take care of myself. I feel doomed! 😊❤
Kathleen ❤ I hope things are looking up for you a little bit . Try create beauty where you can, in or outside of the house Xx
sending lots of love!

Thank You! I go to my room and remember Jesus Loves me 🥰
I never feel tired and wired.
Everyone does not have a type A perfectionist fight mindset. Others - like myself - have a flight shutdown retreat mindset. I need to revert to the challenge mindset from the opposite direction you are speaking about.
Great interview! Does anyone have any advice around have dental surgery while in recovery?
Any surgery and the healing process post-op is traumatic and added stress for the body so, my recommendation, if it can be avoided or delayed, I would. I would think being dysregulated would put you at greater risk of complications from anesthesia or surgery. Definitely something to address with your doctors.

Great video. Could you please link to 2011 study? Many thanks.
You can look it up in the description under the video!
@@RaelanAgle than you!
Thank you so much for your work, raelan. Would love to hear some more recoveries that aren’t through brain retraining… or is it because there aren’t any?! Is this the only thing that is working? Or do these people have a bias to talk about it more?
For sure - it's not only about brain training, as you can see in the playlists. But most people who wanted to share recently have had successes with brain training.
Do you think brain retraining exercises would also work when you are feeling tired/exhausted after doing to much? Can i push my limits and do brain retraining to overcome them? I assume not but asking anyway :) I’m currently pushing my limits often at work and im not sure if I should self-care more or find another solution for work
You can always do better, there is scope for improvement
Would these exercises work for depression?
Do you have a direct link to the 28-day program over at the re-origin website?
I've been unable to locate that particular program specifically.
Thanks in advance. -- Much aloha to both of you.
In the description under the video!
does ME/CFS gives you pain???
I don't feel urgency and obsess to find an answer. I just forget run hide and disappear. Flight.
Is this program a lot like dnrs?
I'm curious about this too.
I can't tap because of my fibromyalgia. It will cause me pain.
"I really appreciate that you exist" - Is Raelan in love with him?
But they both are married. Damn.
innapropriate comment bucko!
