Podcast: The Real Work with Maggie SterlingPublished On: Mon Mar 30 2026
Description: Get my nervous system sensitization course Take the nervous system sensitization quiz If you feel like you've been doing everything right and you're still not getting better, this episode is for you. Maggie spent over a decade stuck in nervous system sensitization — and a lot of that time was spent doing things that felt like healing but were actually keeping her stuck. In this episode, she breaks down exactly what those patterns look like, why they're so hard to spot, and what actually moves the needle. You'll learn why reassurance seeking feels helpful but quietly wires in the problem, why a symptom flare is not evidence that something has gone wrong, and why the amount of content you consume may be working against you. If you've tried everything and you're exhausted, this one is worth your full attention.
