One of the most frightening moments in recovery can be when symptoms suddenly return after a long period of stability.
And many people immediately think:
"I’m back where I started."
But in many cases, what looks like a relapse is actually something quite different.
Sometimes the body is simply going through a temporary recalibration.
In this episode, Anna explores why symptom waves can occur even after months or years of improvement, and why these experiences often don’t mean that progress has been lost.
Understanding the difference between a true relapse and a temporary recalibration can reduce a huge amount of fear and help people respond more calmly when fluctuations occur.
