This concerns me, more on a psychological level, because my previous treatment for my symptoms had be just resting, which to me doesn't feel like I'm doing anything to get better. Starting these therapies made me feel like I was doing something actively to work towards my recovery. However, if they are making me so sick and the therapist feels I need to wait more time for my brain to heal before I can start doing them, I feel like I go back to doing nothing to help myself.

When I was at this phase of recovery, I found playing SuperBetter to be VERY helpful. If I was lying quietly and breathing, I could think to myself: I'm earning 20,000 points!! It definitely helped me through the resting phase of recovery.

I'm not actively playing (counting points) any more, but I do still do most of the daily activities that I got points for. It definitely helped me get into a brain-friendly routine.
