Every time you picture a flare before it happens, your brain counts it as practice.

If you live with chronic illness or autoimmune illness, you've likely rehearsed the cancelled plans and the symptoms that show up halfway through the day more times than you could count. In this episode, I share how neuroplasticity explains what all that mental rehearsal does to your brain, why it's one of the emotional patterns women with chronic illness rarely notice in themselves, and how to use visualization the way elite athletes do to support your mind body healing.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • What a 1995 piano study revealed about how your brain learns.
  • The everyday habit that has been training your brain without you noticing.
  • How to borrow the technique elite athletes rely on and use it to heal.
