Therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

As with burnout nutrition, it can be a case of finding the therapy which suits you and your situation. One thing we’ve read repeatedly is that reaching out to others to get support in the form of therapy can break the pattern, easing symptoms but also meaningfully connecting to another who cares.

Some burnout therapies can be costly, and it’s worth noting that availability of quality therapy is not consistent across countries. We recommend approaching potential fatigue therapies by referral or after reading reviews, and always working within your financial means.

Have you tried one of these therapies for CFS? Did anything work better than all the other therapy types? CBT or Nutrition perhaps? Please let us know by sharing your story here.
