The Fatigue Files — with Anna Grear – Détails, épisodes et analyse

A special bonus episode marking a gap between Season 1 and Season 2 of the Fatigue Files podcast.  This is a hypnotic journey into a world of healing possibilities, drawing on imagination and suggestion. It elicits a sense of connection with a deeper sense of agency, inviting you into a more expansive sense of self, one who can co-construct your own experience. 

Listen with headphones on. Take the volume to a level where you are comfortable with the voice. Please don't use machinery or drive while listening to this recording. 

This recording is part of the Healing Transformation Blueprint program online materials, where it appears in three formats, one of which has binaural beats. This one doesn't have the beats. A version of this  will also be included in an app, currently in development, called Transformation, along with some longer, more multi-layered and crafted hypnotic journeys into lands of imagination. These will include a 'journey to the 13th Chakra', 'Four Immeasurable Minds' and more besides.

Anna specialises in profound healing work. Her approach addresses all the layers of human well-being: body, mind, emotions and spirit.

You can take her uniquely life-changing healing course 'Somatic Liberation: The Deep Intelligence Healing System' by going to her website.

The course has been described as:

'This is some kind of magical'.

'It feels as if what came before was mere apprenticeship'.

'Highly engaging. Deeply immersive'.

'This is a course in a class of its own, offering transformation at a deep level'.

'I've never felt more in awe, more empowered and more intrigued'.

There is nothing else like it out there for nervous system transformation, brainwork magic, partnering with your own unconscious mind and transforming your relationship with your body, forever.

Heather McKean is an experienced coach and healer.  Together with her partner, Kent, she has designed a healing system called 'Mind Change'. This is a healing system that draws on the power of the mind-body system to allow stability by reprogramming the brain's patterns. Mind Change is a collection of new, cutting-edge techniques that draws together a range of effective modalities to offer rapid change.  In this conversation, Heather and Anna explore the emotional drivers of fatigue. There is a little sound distortion at times (at Anna's end) — so please forgive that!

In this episode,  Anna and Ashok discuss meditation, healing and awakening.

Ashok Gupta is well known to the community of people who are on the healing journey with fatigue. He is the founder and CEO of the Gupta Program, a celebrated recovery program that leverages neuroplasticity and mindfulness in a variety of ways.

Like many in the audience for this podcast, Sharon Wirant has chronic fatigue. Her chronic fatigue stems from working in toxic environments and from chronic stress. Sharon is near to recovery from toxic mold exposure, Lyme disease, and adrenal fatigue. Her condition was ignited by a ‘push through’ attitude that resulted in a chronic stress response in her brain and left her body vulnerable to infections, inflammation and fatigue. Sharon now works with others, helping them in their recovery journey. She has multiple degrees and coaching certifications: Bachelor’s degrees in Neuroscience and in Biological Sciences, and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences specialising in Behavioral Science. Sharon is a life, health and therapeutic coach and a former clinical massage therapist. You can find her here: https://sharonwirant.com

The Breaking of the Shell — by Elaine Walker (Interviewer)

Tears were very close as I listened to Anna's story. Her courage in the face of such pain reminded me of Kahlil Gibran's poem On Pain, from The Prophet, and particularly this line, 'Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding'.

So many people who go through serious illness seem to encounter some sort of breaking of the shell. Anna describes her  breaking, or breakthrough, as part of a rather frightening spiritual experience. Not something she would choose and yet something for which she is profoundly grateful. 

Unlike most recovery stories, this one is not really about recovery, nor is it about those things we hope will make us well. It's not so much about diets or supplements, infrared or wearable vagus nerve stimulating devices, but more about the inner journey,  leaning into areas of personal resilience and following one's own North Star. 

Anna's environmental wisdom does, however, help us towards a healing direction, whilst acknowledging the individual nature of each person's journey with a fatigue related illness. 

Being part of this podcast has been a wonderful experience on many levels and nourishes my own sometimes wobbly trust in a better future. As Anna shows so clearly, there is always hope'.

What if you could generate a range of different choices and experiences that help you to generate powerful healing states?  In this episode, Anna speaks with Ben Elers, a fellow hypnotist and neuroplasticity enthusiast.  Ben is an innovation trainer and coach for 'disrupters and change makers — helping accelerate innovation by thinking and imagining in new ways — based on how your embodied brain actually works!'  Anna and Ben explore the incredible reality-construction processes of the brain and its immense capacity for flexibility,  change-making and in particular, the generation of 'choicefulness' — a key variable in healing processes. Towards the end of the conversation, they emphasise the importance and power of 'states' to drive changes in physiology and the power of the imagination to generate biological shifts in the body.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Terry Marks-Tarlow, Clinical and Consulting Psychologist. In this conversation, Terry and Anna explore the rich allusiveness of dreams as a portal to the unconscious. Various themes emerge — but the core encouragement to all who suffer from complex fatigue is to work with dreams because such work can be truly transformative and healing.

Terry is an author who writes on non-linear science, creativity, play and clinical intuition and is an expert in nonlinear dynamics and interpersonal neurobiology. Terry is also an artist, dancer and yogini.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Evan Hirsch, the 'Energy MD' and founder of Fix Your Fatigue. Evan takes a multi-layered, highly systematic approach to the healing of fatigue. He has helped thousands of people recover.

In this conversation, Evan discusses a range of practical themes fundamental to recovery and healing. His approach is all about finding the causes, matching them to the right treatment and navigating the setbacks in that process with skill and acceptance. He is absolutely certain that if the causes are all identified and address, the person will recover — and this has been his consistent experience with patients. This is a rich, practical conversation from which listeners can gain insight and guidance on their own health path.

This episode features Dan Neuffer, author of CFS Unravelled: Get Well by Treating the Cause, not just the Symptoms of CFS, Fibromyalgia, POTS and Related Syndromes.

Dan is the creator of the ANS REWIRE Recovery Program.  In this conversation, Dan and Anna explore the perceived dichotomy between 'body-mind' and 'physical' approaches to recovery from fatigue. They problematise the dichotomy in a conversation full of Dan's typically lively intelligence. Together, Dan and Anna frame body and mind as aspects of one lively system. They reflect on what follows from that framing for understanding fatigue illnesses, and on the practical implications of that understanding for process(es) of recovery.
