75. Why Your Pain Might Flare up Right Before It Fades
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this solo episode, Grace breaks down a pivotal and often misunderstood part of the healing process: the extinction burst. If you’ve ever felt like your symptoms are flaring up just when you thought you were making progress—this conversation is for you.
She explains why temporary symptom spikes (or new symptoms altogether) can actually be a sign of healing, not failure. You’ll learn:
- What an extinction burst is and why it happens
- Why symptoms can feel worse before they shift
- How to respond with compassion instead of fear
- What it means when your healing feels like whack-a-mole
- How to keep showing up for your life while still healing
