Visual Snow Help — A Practical Recovery Framework
A practical recovery framework for Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) and HPPD — a clear path forward, from someone who walked it. In-depth guides on nervous system regulation, TRE, somatic release, meditation, bodywork, and daily structure.
- Acupressure — Acupressure targets the nervous system and the energy system in one session — here's why it became one of my most important daily tools.
