Podcast Overview

Are you tired of missing out on life because of your health issues? Are you sick of strict protocols and diets that leave you frustrated and hopeless? Do you wish someone could give you a clear, step-by-step guide to finally heal? Are you ready to finally have symptom free days again? Welcome to Retrain Your Brain, where you will find a neuroscience-based approach to help you heal from chronic illness and complex trauma (without the expensive and restrictive protocols!). My mission is to teach you real, effective strategies like brain retraining, somatic exercises, and trauma healing tools to help you heal at the deepest level - no more surface-level temporary fixes! If you’re ready to harness the power of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain and reclaim your health, you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Katie Nickerson, a trauma-informed brain retraining coach. For nearly a decade I was consumed by debilitating symptoms from ME/CFS, CIRS, chemical sensitivity, SIBO, food intolerances, MCAS, anxiety and more. Despite dedicating all my time and spending a fortune on every diet, supplement, and protocol imaginable, I saw almost no improvement—and even developed new symptoms. It felt like there was zero hope for recovery. Everything changed though when I discovered the incredible power of neuroplasticity and learned how to retrain my brain for health! Within just six months I went from debilitated and homebound to traveling, returning to work, socializing, and eating freely! I share my story because I want everyone suffering from a chronic illness to know that healing is possible! If you are ready to finally find an effective approach to healing your chronic symptoms with results that are tangible and sustainable - then this podcast is for you! So step away from the supplements, light that non-toxic candle, and let’s start retraining your brain!

EP 19 // Why Brain Retraining Feels Like a Roller Coaster: The 5 Emotional Stages No One Tells You About

If the brain retraining process has felt like an emotional roller coaster, this episode will help you finally make sense of why. In today’s conversation, Katie walks you through the emotional stages of change that almost everyone experiences while retraining their brain. You’ll learn why that early hope often gives way to frustration, doubt, or despair… why those phases don’t mean you’re doing anything wrong… and how understanding where you are in the process can help your nervous system feel safer, steadier, and more resilient. This episode is designed to orient you (contextually and emotionally), so you can stop panicking about where you are and start trusting the process again. What This Episode Covers: The Emotional Cycle of Change and how it applies specifically to brain retraining Why uninformed optimism is normal - and why it never lasts The truth about the “descent” and the valley of despair (and why most people quit here) How symptoms, flares, doubt, and resistance often signal progress, not failure The difference between getting stuck vs. moving through hard phases What informed optimism actually looks like in real healing How safety, repetition, and support help you reach embodied change Why long-term support matters - especially when motivation disappears This episode is your reminder that nothing has gone wrong and you’re likely right where you’re supposed to be.   DIVE DEEPER // RESOURCES:  SUPPORT: 🤝 Currently brain retraining and looking for 1-1 support?
