There is a stage of recovery that many people reach where life has largely returned to normal.
You may be working again. Socialising more. Exercising gently. Participating in daily life in ways that once felt impossible.
And yet, your system may still experience occasional fluctuations.
Energy might dip after a busy week. Sleep may become more fragile during stressful periods. Your nervous system might still feel sensitive to certain types of load.
This stage can feel confusing, because you’re no longer severely ill — but things don’t always feel completely stable yet.
In this episode, Anna explores what she often describes as the fine-tuning phase of recovery.
At this stage the work often shifts away from major repair and toward calibrating how the body distributes load across daily life.
Understanding this phase can help reduce frustration and provide a clearer framework for navigating the final stages of recovery.
