We live in a society which increasingly values individuality: “What can I do about it?”; “How will this help me?”. It’s only natural that once we take personal responsibility for our health and recovery, we think that it’s all down to us.   But no person is an island, and we believe recovery works best in community. In today’s episode, we discuss the important lessons about community we’ve learned from being ill and how our environment directly impacts our health. We also discuss dogs, dating and the damage mould can do! As always, we are no medical experts and these are just our own opinions, we cite a lot of extra resources if of interest.   Farley Moet: "Never Cry Wolf"   Hector Garcia: "Ikigai"   Kathleen McCue: "How to Help Children Through a Serious Illness"   Gary Chapman: "The Five Love Languages"   2011 Happy Documentary   Jennifer Brea Ted Talk & Unrest Documentary Harvard Review: Blood Pressure effect of petting a dog  Research on benefits of community on health   Raelan Agle CFS Recovery Facebook Group   CFS Warriors "Circles of Relationships"  CFS Health Toby Morrison video for friends & family   Alex Howard Recovery Story    Heal with Liz YouTube   Jenn Mann Instagram   Wanda Belisle Instagram   Gemma Hanley CFS Mindset Coach   Chronically Andrea Children’s book Dr Jill Crista   Dr Neil Nathan   Envirobiomics   Visual Contrast Sensitivity Test   We hope you find this helpful and would love to hear from you @postviralpodcast on Instagram and [email protected] Thanks!
