This interview is SO useful for ANYONE who is here with chronic neural circuit symptoms - PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine, tinnitus, hyperacusis, pain, chronic fatigue and any other medically unexplained chronic dizziness or other symptoms. You're here on my channel to learn how to change your brain, and in this interview, we talk about the science behind HOW to do it and WHY the techniques we talk about on this channel work. Neuroplasticity is a buzzword nowadays that's so overused, it's often meaningless. This interview covers a specific, science-supported approach to neuroplasticity for transformative change called memory reconsolidation.

In the interview, Dr. Tori Olds, psychologist and educator, explains the nuts and bolts of memory reconsolidation, which is the process that explains how the brain unlearns old strategies, symptoms, beliefs and feelings, and learns new ones. We explore how this is applicable to neural circuit dizziness and other symptoms, and we discuss what you can do NOW to leverage this process for your own recovery.

Dr. Tori Olds, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Austin, Texas. She is the co-founder of Deep Eddy Psychotherapy, one of the largest training and counseling centers in Texas, with a staff of 200.
