EP 6 // Struggling to Stay Consistent With Brain Retraining? How to Overcome Resistance! PART 2
from Retrain Your Brain | Nervous System Regulation, Chronic Illness Healing, Brain Retraining Support · host Katie Nickerson | Somatic Brain Retraining & Chronic Illness Coach
You want to be consistent with your brain retraining practice… but somehow, resistance keeps getting in the way. Sound familiar? In this episode, we’re diving into 3 deeper reasons you might be struggling to follow through—and what to do about it. You’ll learn how "protective parts" (from an IFS perspective), demand avoidance, and the nervous system freeze state can all contribute to lowering motivation and increasing resistance … and how to move through it gently and effectively. This episode is packed with practical tools, mindset shifts, and compassion-centered strategies to help you support your brain and build momentum—without forcing, pushing, or shaming yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t make yourself do the thing (even though you know it helps), this one’s for you. 🎧 This is Part 2 of a 2-part series on resistance.
