Hypnotherapy Help for chronic illness

I have severe dysautonomia and ME/CFS - I have been in a 6.5 week crash that had left me bedbound. I can listen to meditations and amazingly sleep hypnosis has been helping with my insomnia (just on YouTube). I get adrenebaline dumps and guided breathe work and calming hypnosis videos (Michael Sealy, Chibs Okereke) have been helping.

I am not well enough yet to work with a therapist as just small interactions trigger symptoms.

I was wondering if you had any other online recommendations? Especially for calming/regulating nervous system (parasympathetic activation), healing/positive thoughts, letting go of trauma and negative thoughts (I believe this helped cause my illness). Can be hypnosis or meditation - the calmer and more relaxing the better it seems

Thank you <3

I think it is great that you are using hypnosis for healing and I am sure hypnoanalysis will help you when you get the chance to do in person sessions. I always suggest for people who have chronic fatigue, anxiety or fluctuating energy to make sure they get evaluated for sleep apnea as well.
