We do SO much inside Vestibular Group Fit! So much that I’m not even sure how to talk about it half the time.
For example… we have a book club! We recently read The Way Out.
It’s a book by Alan Gordon about chronic pain, which parallels a lot of useful concepts to look at chronic dizziness.
So many members in VGF love this book and when they first read it go “WOW I feel seen!” So… let’s talk about it.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
Why The Way Out is a book that’s relevant to dizziness
How the body interprets pain
What the pain reprocessing theory is
How the pain-fear-pain cycle keeps you stuck
How the concept of miswiring for chronic pain is similar to chronic dizziness
The differences between chronic pain and chronic dizziness
What to remember about mindset as new pathways develop
This is a great book that explains a nuanced topic very well in easy-to-read language, and has many parallels to dizziness that makes this a great resource for anyone with a vestibular disorder!
I get a ton of people wondering if they’ll be able to travel or drive or [insert your activity here] again.
The answer is always and consistently: YES.
The thing you have to note is that it will take time, consistency, and the right tools.
VGF member, Diana, was able to take an 8-day trip out-of-the-country!
Grab the tools she and hundreds of other members have used to get back to the things they so desperately wanted to.
