The thing about symptoms is that the more desperately you want them gone, the more your brain keeps paying attention to them. Not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because attention is how the brain decides what matters.
So when every sensation turns into “How do I stop this?” or “Why is this still here?” your nervous system starts treating it like an important problem that needs constant monitoring.
A lot of healing happens when you stop turning every feeling into an emergency. When you stop checking, fixing, analyzing, and fighting with your body all day long. That’s often when the brain finally starts to quiet down.
