Hey,
Do you guys have any books, authors, or resources that really helped you with healing, nervous system regulation, chronic pain, or the whole mind-body approach?
I recently read The Mindbody Prescription by John E. Sarno and I’m looking for similar stuff — things that genuinely helped you feel better, understand your body more, regulate your nervous system, or approach recovery differently.
Would love any recommendations

I’m French and currently in a severe state of ME/CFS. I’m posting here because I haven’t really been able to find any active or positive French-speaking communities or content on this topic, and I’m hoping to find some guidance or shared experiences here. I’ve been feeling a bit more hopeful after reading recovery stories.

For those who have used nervous system regulation, stress management, or brain retraining approaches:

How long did it take before you noticed any improvements, and what were the first signs for you that it was actually helping?

And if you’ve made significant progress, how long did it take before you were able to reintroduce effort without triggering PEM again?

I’ve read a lot of testimonials, but I still struggle to understand what the early changes actually look like or when you can really tell it’s working.

I also notice strong fluctuations (better one day, worse the next), and I’m not sure if that’s part of the process or not.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience
