The way you talk about your symptoms, your recovery, and even yourself… it matters more than you think.
In this video, Coach Junior dives deep into the psychology of language during chronic fatigue syndrome recovery—and why your word choice could be reinforcing a stuck identity without you realizing it.
This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about learning how to speak in a way that signals safety, growth, and forward momentum to your brain and nervous system.
🔑 You’ll learn:
How joking about symptoms can sabotage your progress
Why your brain takes everything you say literally
How to reframe disempowering language into constructive language
Why seemingly small word swaps can create massive change in your nervous system
Timestamps:
0:00 – Why your language shapes your identity
0:55 – How joking about yourself can hold you back
2:00 – “Your brain doesn’t know you’re joking”
3:10 – The impact of negative word choices
4:30 – How to reframe extreme language
5:35 – Real examples: “terrible day” → “challenging day”
7:20 – Why words like “awful” and “debilitating” are dangerous
8:10 – How to speak in a way that builds your future
9:00 – Final recap: change your language, change your life
The words you use are like instructions to your nervous system. When you speak like someone who’s stuck, your brain stays in survival mode. But when you speak with intention, things shift. And that’s when real recovery begins.

Excited for this! Ready to change them 🙌🏽
Great video – on point. Thanks a lot Junior 🙏 Reaffirms me that I'm on the right track. Cheers
I find reframing super challenging. Thanks for giving examples. Catching the negative framing in the first place is what I need to work on. Extreme black and white thinking is so ingrained that sometimes I don't even notice it. Since applying what you guys teach, I have avoided saying "I can't….." or "I'm never able to….". I focus a lot on my limitations. Now I say "I plan on…" or "I have a goal to…" Because I am choosing to look at what I can do or will do in the future.
Very good advice! Thank you! This is something I need to work on for sure! ❤❤❤
