Watching someone you care about experience #fnd symptoms can feel overwhelming. You want to help, but it’s not always clear what will be most supportive. Even small gestures and asking first can make a big difference in comfort, connection, and understanding. #FNDcourage #CarePartnerSupport

Thank you to Nishi & Stone for highlighting the evolutionary perspective on FND. The FNDcourage course explores in the very first weeks how fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses shape FND and the nervous system and offers practical strategies for regulation and insight. #FNDcourage #FND

As a new year begins, FNDcourage renews our commitment to walk alongside this community with community, education, and trusted resources. Wherever you are on your FND journey, you are not alone. We’re here with care, connection, and hope in the year ahead. 💙 #fnd #fndsupport #fndcourage

Mindfulness can help people with FND calm the nervous system, build body awareness, regulate emotions, boost neuroplasticity, strengthen self-regulation, and increase confidence. Small mindful moments and movement each day can make a big difference! #fnd #fndcourage

FND is rooted in the body & nervous system. Mindful movement, breathwork, and awareness help you reconnect. Try to listen to what your body needs today. Even small shifts and mindful check-ins can lead to healing. #FNDcourage #ThriveTogether #SomaticWellness #fnd

This October, FNDcourage is dedicating the month to wellness and FND education with free workshops, activities, and resources for the FND community.

Through the FNDcourage course, participants learn to notice their emotions and understand how they connect to nervous system activation. The course also provides practical tools for calming and regulating emotions—skills that can bring positive changes to life with FND. #fndcourage #fnd

Dissociation happens on a continuum—from spacing out or daydreaming to more intense states like derealization or functional seizures. Recognizing your place on the spectrum can support healing. 💙

Functional seizures (aka NES, PNES) are often part of #FND. Dr. Moenter describes them as a “reset mechanism” for an overactivated nervous system. Want to learn more? Visit the What is FND? page on our site: fndcourage.org #FND #FunctionalSeizures #FNDcourage

Functional Neurological Disorder is diagnosed by positive clinical signs-not by ruling things out. It can mimic other neurological conditions, so misdiagnosis happens. But like Parkinson’s or epilepsy, #FND can be accurately diagnosed through a detailed history and exam. #FNDawareness #FNDcourage

April is World FND Awareness Month!

#FND occurs when the brain struggles to send and receive signals properly, causing life-altering symptoms. Yet, it's widely misunderstood. This April, FNDcourage is launching #ReframingFND to raise awareness, educate, and advocate for better support. #FNDcourage
