    In this episode, Liz Kotin shares how she spent more than three years battling long COVID — including chronic fatigue, POTS, brain fog, and cardiac symptoms — before discovering the mind-body approach to recovery through books, therapy, and the Curable app. She explains why she was deeply skeptical at first, what tools actually helped her heal, and how the experience transformed the way she relates to herself and her body.

  • Dr. Hansma: The Longer You've Had Chronic Symptoms, The Easier You CAN Recover
    Mar 9 2026

    Send a text

    In this video, Dr. Paul Hansma, Professor at UC Santa Barbara (The UCSB Physics Hansma Research Lab), shares why longer symptom duration can actually make recovery easier, and what the science reveals about the most effective ways to shift those patterns.

    📚 STUDIES MENTIONED
    1. The Apkaring reference is a landmark study showing, with fMRI, how the development of chronic pain involves shifts in brain activity to include more emotional centers - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dexmheq-KAQQ5XywxNeFq1ENC7NR4uKm/view?usp=sharing

    2. The JAMA psychiatry study, also known as the"Boulder Study" is a ground breaking study with two controls and fMRI imaging of changes associated with recovery. 66% of the people in the arm of the study that got Pain Reprocessing Therapy were pain-free or nearly pain-free (pain 0 or 1 on a 0 to 10 scale) by the end of the one month study. PRT focuses, as you know, on decreasing the fear associated with sensation - https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zdtRQ0T0KOAn5roHgnLsWQWTCgn7mb2/view?usp=sharing

    3. The Ly paper shows that decreasing anxiety with biofeedback is associated with decreasing pain - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bdV-fNGNw1CEG0jEhGdvzeVktKD4qAjf/view?usp=sharing

    4. The neural circuit activity paper shows that human brain organoids fire in repetitive patterns without any sensory input (ever!) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/16I2YT3gC5zfC0-D2gN-6gwRm0FzFahDf/view?usp=sharing

    ABOUT DEVON CARTER:
    Devon faced a long struggle with Long Covid: 18 months off work, much of it bedbound, with symptoms she could never have imagined: extreme fatigue, feverishness, shortness of breath, a pounding heart, and sensitivity to sound, light, and movement.

    She found hope through recovery interviews on my YouTube channel and other resources, and eventually joined my Brain Retraining 101 program. Just five months later, her symptoms lifted. Devon returned to her full-time work as a public servant and is now enjoying a vibrant, healthy life with her young son. She brings her knowledge and experience as lead coach in my Brain Retraining 101 program since January 2025, after earning her Pain Reprocessing Therapy coach certification.
