The energy trap that keeps people stuck

One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in M.E/CFS recovery is misunderstanding energy.

What feels like energy is often adrenaline and that’s what keeps the push-crash cycle going.

In this week’s podcast, I explain the difference between adrenaline and real energy, and why learning to spot it can change your recovery.
