This app has changed my life in the last 4 months. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in September and while waiting for additional appointments with yet more tests, my doctor recommended the curable app and I found this podcast soon after. In the last year I went from being a very active professor of earth science to barely being able to walk for 15 minutes due to fatigue and pain and I could barely do my job because of the brain fog. The longer that I do the exercises the more convinced I am that it’s all related to my emotions. This app has also pretty much cured the migraines I’ve had all my adult life. I’ve only had 1 in 4 months and by doing the exercise I was able to calm myself down and it didn’t escalate to laying down nauseous in a dark room for hours and hours. Thank you so much. I’ve told everyone who will listen about this app and podcast.

My doctor recommend this. If I had found it on my own I probably wouldn’t have considered it.* But after 30+ years of debilitating physical symptoms, dozens of medications, lots of needles, tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses and hours/days spent in medical appointments and out of work I was ready for something else. This is easy and cheap compared to everything else I tried for my health and infinitely more helpful! I am largely pain free and when I’m not this helps me get out of pain *I am also a medical doctor in the “traditional” model at an academic institution. It has worked so well for me I refer my patients here.

The podcast and app were life-changing for me.

I listened to the episode with the host’s doctor. Who “cured her” and himself was “cured” with Saro’s approach. Host frequently bursts into giggles and laughs. Loves to talk about herself. The doctor seems more grounded but his story baffles: all this debilitating pain and when he decides it’s centered in his brain he takes his bike out and bicycles through the pain reminding himself its origin is in the brain and by the end of his cycling trip he’s much better and within a month cured. As for the host, no idea of her process. Listeners want to know from the guest their story but from a doctor specializing we should have multiple stories. Moreover there should be caveats. Sometimes there is actual organic damage and you shouldn’t just for example cycle through it for an hour. You can make it worse. Also, there are conditions that might be helped from repetitive negative thought patterns, but not completely addressed because there are underlying actual conditions that don’t have to do with the brain. I found this episode just sloppy and annoying. And the host repeatedly bursting into laughter. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in the ideas themselves. I’ll try one more episode to see if this was a fluke.

Making Friends With Your Fears and Your Feelings I loved this episode a lot. BUT while I usually really appreciate that most episodes don’t go into any details about sexuality, unfortunately this one did (ironically that is a huge fear trigger for me 😫) Please understand, I still really have respect for both host and guest and I’m so thankful for the insights they shared and I loved listening to them. It just is a big fear trigger for me to deal with sexuality and the nuances that come with in our world. I know that it’s hard to navigate and I hold space for that too, want to send kind vibes out while I still express my opinion, but I wanted to make my voice heard about keeping that out of this space, no matter the orientation. I hope this comes across with respect and that I am not trying to push my own agendas, just know that I want to keep it a safe space for all. Thanks for considering. And thank you so much for all you do in this field. You have truly changed my life

I tried the episode on over exertion and gave up after listening to the host and her guest describe their own suffering in excruciating detail for 40 minutes. I understand the importance of sharing stories but had to turn it off. I’d suggest more time exploring solutions.

I thought your latest episode hot takes on healing was the most useful information I’ve gotten since reading the way out two years ago. Being someone that tries to follow instructions to the letter when the outcome is very important to me, (like getting rid of pain( the “baby steps”, and the building up to somatic tracking, journaling, and outcome independence wasn’t something that was inherently obvious to me. I strongly believe that they should be included in the initial information provided. Also what you were saying about measuring recovery and how we compare ourselves to the recovery stories: I understand why it’s helpful for people that are first encountering this material to see recovery stories that happen quickly. Who wants to be introduced to material and hear, ”Well, if you try for four years, you’ll eventually be out of pain!” But I think it’s important to have one or two recovery stories from people that take a couple years or a few years to get out of pain to normalize that situation too. Fantastic podcast series- very impactful

Lots of laughter for a subject that is pretty serious and depressing. It can seem somewhat insensitive and not super professional. I loved the previois host!

Curable is helping me to navigate my way out of chronic pain. It’s an excellent resource of interviews, recovery stories, meditation, and so much more. I listened several times to some of the interviews and as I’m learning more, I understand more.

I am a curable subscriber, listened to most of the podcasts. Just wondering if you can make the show this year sound less like you are at a party. Too much laughing like its fun, not like we are in chronic pain. Just noticing it this year.
