What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome by listening to the people who actually recovered from it? In this episode, Daniel sits down with two researchers who set out to answer exactly that question. Julie Harper conducted in-depth interviews with eight women who recovered from ME/CFS after struggling with it herself for seven years. Dr. Sarah Cefai analyzed 75 recovery stories from Raelan Agle's YouTube channel, looking for the patterns that kept showing up across very different people and very different journeys. What they found has a lot in common with what pain reprocessing therapy sees again and again: a shift in how symptoms are understood, a growing sense of agency, and a different relationship with the body.

If you've ever been told that tinnitus, hyperacusis, or misophonia are conditions you simply have to manage and live with, this episode is going to offer you a different perspective. Daniel sits down with Dr. Marcia Dewey, an audiologist who founded the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Program at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin and has spent years integrating neuroplasticity-based approaches into her work. Together they break down what these three conditions actually are, how fear and attention amplify symptoms, where structural issues end and neuroplastic processes begin, and how tools like somatic tracking, imaginal exposure, and safety learning can help people change their relationship with sound and, in many cases, dramatically reduce their symptoms.

What happens when the infection clears but the symptoms don't? In this episode, Daniel shares recordings from eight real therapy sessions with a client named Eric, who had been living with chronic fatigue for years after a bout of mono. You'll hear Eric describe the weight of his exhaustion, the fear and confusion that surrounded it, and the beliefs that kept him stuck. And you'll hear what actually changed, not through a single breakthrough moment, but through a series of small shifts that gradually taught his nervous system it was safe. By the end of the episode, Eric is cycling, hiking, concentrating better at work, and beginning to trust his body again.

Daniel is joined by Dr. Mark Lumley, founder of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and Christie Uipi, psychotherapist and co-developer of Pain Reprocessing Therapy, to discuss three real patient cases: vestibular migraine and dizziness, chronic back pain with nighttime flare-ups, and migraine with uncertainty about neuroplastic diagnosis. Together they explore how emotions, conditioning, and the nervous system intersect — and what treatment might actually look like for each person.

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books, tried the tools, and still feel stuck. In the Season 2 premiere of the PRT Podcast, new host Daniel Lyman, LCSW, joins clinician Gabrielle Jacobs to explore five of the most common and most overlooked reasons people stall in chronic pain recovery. From waiting to feel safe before acting, to living with intensity, to identity fusion with a diagnosis, this conversation is honest, practical, and genuinely useful for patients and practitioners alike. Getting stuck doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means there is another layer to look at.
