Episode 140 - Stop These 5 Habits to Habituate to Tinnitus

Hey Tinnitus Friends And Family, Find all resources at www.habituate.online Many people understand tinnitus habituation intellectually — yet still feel stuck, reactive, and frustrated in real life. In this episode, I walk you through five real-life blocks that prevent habituation, even when you “know all the right things.” This isn’t about willpower, positivity, or trying harder. It’s about what actually happens in the nervous system — and why insight alone doesn’t automatically translate into feeling safe. In this video, you’ll learn: • Why understanding tinnitus doesn’t automatically lead to habituation • The difference between cognitive insight and nervous system safety • How constant monitoring quietly keeps tinnitus in the foreground • Why forcing acceptance or calm often backfires • Why connection and co-regulation matter more than doing this alone If you’ve ever thought: • “I know tinnitus isn’t dangerous, but my body still panics” • “I understand habituation, so why am I not there yet?” • “I feel stuck even though I’ve done so much work” — this episode is for you.
