FAQs
🚀 When can I start?
You can begin the Be Your Own Medicine Self-Paced Course anytime you like. You can jumpstart your recovery and reclaim your life now! If you're interested in a live cohort, the best way to find out about Rebecca's next one is by signing up for the mailing list here. You'll also receive a free somatic meditation—which helped Rebecca and many other people recover!—and her latest mind-body blogs and videos.
👩🏻🏫 Self-paced course or live cohort?
We don't currently have a live cohort scheduled and the Be Your Own Medicine Self-Paced Course is available now! The self-paced course has the same 10 modules, chock-full of knowledge and practices for your recovery. Rather than attending live sessions, self-paced learners move at their own pace. There are many pre-recorded Q&A sessions with Rebecca and guest speakers, which will likely answer your questions. Plus we now have an optional monthly membership for Be Your Own Medicine participants if you want live sessions with Rebecca and our community!
🤷🏽 What if I'd like live sessions?
You're in luck! Rebecca has created a new monthly membership with live support. In Living Medicine, you can enjoy three live sessions with Rebecca and guest experts each month. Ask your personal questions, receive supportive teachings and connect with our warm-hearted community! The first step is to join Be Your Own Medicine, our most complete recovery roadmap. Then, you're welcome to join Living Medicine for live support if you like. It's the best of both worlds!
⚖️ Is the course or coaching better for me?
Be Your Own Medicine is the place to start! Rebecca offers the core knowledge and practices to recover from neuroplastic symptoms at a fraction of the cost of 1:1 work. There's greater breadth in the course with key knowledge and practices to recover. Many partiicpants say our audio meditation library is unique to the field! If you want therapy or coaching during or after the course, it's far more effective with Be Your Own Medicine. Rebecca opens a handful of coaching slots solely for Be Your Own Medicine participants, which is the best way to work with her privately!
👩🏻🤝👩🏾 Can I work with Rebecca 1:1?
There's an opportunity to meet with Rebecca privately if you enroll in the Be Your Own Medicine self-paced course or the Living Medicine membership! Rebecca opens a limited number of 1:1 coaching sessions only for participants of her programs. These sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis for an additional fee. People recover more fully when they're supported by our robust on-line content!
👩🏽💻 How long can I access the course?
Your enrollment includes six months of online access to the Be Your Own Medicine® course portal, beginning on your enrollment date. During that time, you can move through the course at your own pace, stream the course content, and download meditations, handouts, videos, and other downloadable resources to keep for your personal use.
In some cases, we may continue complimentary online access beyond the initial six months, but extended access is not guaranteed. So, we recommend completing the course and saving any downloadable resources you want to keep during your six-month access period.
📚 What's the curriculum?
Glad you asked! You can see a detailed list of the course lessons here. Besides the class recordings, there's videos, audio meditations and writing exercises to support your recovery.
🤕 What symptoms will this help?
Assuming there's no structural or pathological issue, this mind-body approach has helped people recover from chronic fatigue, headaches, brain fog, fibromyalgia, insomnia, anxiety, POTS, ME/CFS, long Covid, PEM, irritable bowel syndrome, digestive issues, interstitial cystitis, pelvic pain, chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, migraines and headaches, TMJ, and other neuroplastic conditions. Dr. Howard Schubiner calls this Mind-Body Syndrome (MBS) and Dr. John Sarno called it Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS).
❤️🩹 Can this help long Covid and ME/CFS?
While we can't guarantee results, Rebecca has helped many people recover from long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Epstein-Barr and other post-viral symptoms. Rebecca consulted on a mind-body pilot study on Long Covid patients through Harvard Medical Center, with promising results. As long as you've ruled out tissue damage with your physician, mind-body healing helps many people recover and live a full life. See some of our Success Stories here!
🙋🏽♀️ How do I know if I'm ready?
- Your physician has ruled out pathological and structural causes, such as bone disease, infection, fractures and cancer. We're not doctors and can't diagnose you. It's important to see a licensed doctor to evaluate your symptoms prior to this course.
- Your symptoms haven’t improved by treatments suggested by medical professionals.
- You want to harness neuroplasticity and retrain your brain.
- You crave empowering tools to regulate your nervous system and heal on physical, emotional and mental levels.
- You’re curious about somatic meditations as a pathway to recovery.
- You're drawn to Rebecca's approach and this mind-body model.
- You’re ready to reclaim your life!
😫 Could my brain cause pain or fatigue?
Chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, POTS and other mind-body symptoms are 100% real and you feel them in your body. But emerging science shows the cause can be in the brain. When our nervous system gets activated, there's a cascade of physiological changes in nerve firing patterns, blood flow, hormone production etc. Nervous system activation can cause pain, fatigue, anxiety, weakness, tingling, burning, spasms, anxiety, insomnia, difficulty concentrating and more. John Sarno used to say that TMS symptoms can be stronger than those with a structural cause. Fortunately, there's a remedy!
