Alex explores the psychological subtypes (Anxiety, Achiever, Helper) that can play a part in remaining ill with ME CFS, and how noticing these patterns can help us put ourselves first and notice the thought behaviours that are unhelpful in our recovery. Beyond recovery from ME CFS, understanding psychological subtypes will help us to grow and evolve throughout our lives in various challenging circumstances. Psychological subtypes aren't unique to chronic illness, and the work we put into understanding our own inner critic and neurosis will help us well into healthy life.
