<p>Jan Rothney was a psychology lecturer in health and social care when her body finally shut down completely leaving her bedbound and asleep for nearly a month. Because she already understood the science of what was happening, she knew exactly what to do: stop pushing, celebrate tiny wins, and send safety signals to a brain that had been running on overdrive for a decade. More than 20 years later, she's the author of <i>Breaking Free</i> and founder of Reset to Thrive. In this conversation with Kim Nash, she explains exactly how the brain creates chronic symptoms and what it takes to change that.     <br /><b><br /></b>CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS <br /><br />00:00 Introduction to Chronic Illness and Personal Journey</p><p>01:55 The Build-Up to Chronic Fatigue</p><p>08:48 The Turning Point: Realizing Recovery is Possible</p><p>18:59 Practical Strategies for Healing</p><p>27:04 The Importance of Support and Community</p><p>37:58 Setting Boundaries and Self-Care</p><p>47:53 Conclusion and Encouragement for Listeners<br /></p><p><b>CONNECT &amp; RESOURCES<br /><br />Jan Rothney:<br /><br /></b> 🌐 Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://resettothrive.co.uk" target="_blank">resettothrive.co.uk</a><br />📱 Facebook: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078374327232" target="_blank">Breaking Free</a><br />📱 Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/breakingfree_recovery/" target="_blank">@BreakingFree_recovery</a><br />📚 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.arkbound.com/bookshop/p/breaking-free-anniversary" target="_blank"><i>Breaking Free</i> (2nd edition) </a><br /> </p><p><b>The Chronic Truth Podcast:<br /></b> <br />🌐 Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://chronictruthpodcast.com" target="_blank"><b>chronictruthpodcast.com</b></a><br />📱 Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/chronictruthpodcast" target="_blank"><b>@ChronicTruthPodcast</b></a><br />📘 TikTok: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@chronictruthpodcast" target="_blank"><b>@chronictruthpodcast</b></a><br />💬 Share Your Story: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://chronictruthpodcast.com/#testimonials" target="_blank"><b>Testimonials</b></a><br /><b>📋 </b>Community Survey: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://chronictruthpodcast.com/#survey" target="_blank"><b>Survey</b></a><b><br /><br /></b>Production Partner:<b> </b><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcastmechanic.xyz" target="_blank"><b>Podcast Mechanic</b></a></p>
