Healing Differently - Release CFS

Daniel van Loosbroekreleasecfs.com

Healing holistically from a chronic disease. I talk about my personal healing story and my experiences of coaching over 1,000 different people with a chronic disease.

Welcome to the Healing Differently podcast. My name is Daniel.

I was once bedbound for a few years, and I struggled with my health for many other years. After I recovered, I started working as a health coach, and I developed a free online program about self-healing. Because of that, I attracted 10.000s people with different chronic diseases and worked with many people 1:1.

Over time, I realized that my own recovery was accidental. I learned to switch my symptoms on and off on demand. I started practicing with my clients, and over the course of a few years, I started getting consistent results with that. I now talk a lot about switching on symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, nausea, vertigo, depression, depersonalization, etc., and we do that by finding the underlying stressor and emotion in your body. And after that, we would like to release both the stressor and the symptom.

In order to do that, we have to prepare the body for releases and, more importantly, shift our perspective and beliefs about health and various chronic diseases, such as ME/CFS, lyme, adrenal fatigue, long COVID, fibromyalgia, MS, and other similar conditions and labels.

In this podcast, I like to create a shift in perspective by telling stories and explaining the underlying mechanisms. On top of that, I also upload guided meditations that you can find on the channel. I hope you find the content enjoyable. Please subscribe, and when you're ready, rate it on platforms such as Spotify.

We also have a website full of information, blogs, and even an online course. Releasecfs.com

ME/CFS Coaches Are Terrified of THIS Method

Most ME/CFS coaches teach you how to cope. Almost none teach you how to actually heal and there's a deliberate reason for that. In this video I'm exposing why the standard chronic fatigue syndrome treatment model is built around management, not recovery. Pacing, nervous system regulation, brain retraining, these aren't healing methods. They're containment strategies. And the coaches teaching them know it. The method they're avoiding? Emotional releases. They're raw, unpredictable, and impossible...

Can Facing Fear Really Heal You?

For most of my life I couldn’t properly feel fear. From 13 to 36, I suppressed it so deeply that my body carried it for me instead – as exhaustion, chronic fatigue, anxiety and shutdown. In this episode I share how I first reconnected to anger… and then, much later, to fear itself. How “beautiful fear” became a doorway into truth, energy and trust in life again. If you’re always in control but secretly terrified, or your body feels frozen and tired no matter what you try, this conversation is fo...

Why "Trying to Heal" Keeps You Sick

f you've been trying to heal for years and getting nowhere, the problem might not be the protocol - it might be the person doing it. In this video, I explain why the very act of "trying to heal" is often what keeps you sick. I explore the paradox that your Type A personality (the "Improver") uses healing tools to avoid feeling, which actually blocks your nervous system from finding safety. If you are exhausted from protocols, diets, and somatic exercises that don't stick, this shift in perspecti...

Your Body Is Not Broken: Chronic Illness, ME/CFS & Learning to Trust It Again

I used to believe my body was broken. Chronic illness (ME/CFS) felt like proof that it was failing me. In this episode, I explore a completely different perspective: what if your body is always listening, always doing its best to keep you safe, and it’s actually us who stopped trusting it? In this conversation, I share: • Why outsourcing your health (completely) creates a deep split between “you” and your body • How fear gets stored in the body and shapes your symptoms and reactions • The truth ...

The Elephant in the Room About Chronic Illness Recovery - Stop Fixing What Isn't Broken

I'm about to say what other health influencers refuse to say. Others in the chronic illness recovery business told me this message was "too risky" for their brand. Or it wasn't "brand aligned". Then, one by one, they jumped on the nervous system regulation bandwagon full of buzz words. And that has creates a lot of problems for people. Here's the truth you need to know: There are no separate systems in your body. Your nervous system isn't broken. Your body is simply reflecting your feelings back...

Your Chronic Illness Is Actually a Spiritual Awakening - YOU ARE CHOSEN

Why do you have chronic illness while others stay healthy? You weren't cursed—you were chosen for consciousness evolution. While most people ignore their deepest emotional wounds and stay trapped in fear-based systems, your body forced you to stop and do the deep work. In this video, I explain the connection between unresolved emotions, consciousness levels, and chronic illness. When we're stuck at lower consciousness levels (shame, guilt, fear, anger), we're trapped in fight-or-flight. This clo...
