THE CLINICAL GAP

When Conventional Care Isn't Enough

You've tried everything. Seen the specialists. Run the tests. Tried the treatments. And still, you're not getting better.

Structure alone doesn't reliably explain chronic symptoms. As one striking example: 64% of people with no back pain show disc bulges on an MRI. 

This screener helps you see what imaging can't; whether the nervous system may be generating or amplifying what you're experiencing.

SEE WHAT'S INSIDE →

Two things are true at once: the symptoms are 100% real, and the nervous system can still be generating and
amplifying them.

 

This Is For You If You Are —

✦ A therapist, coach or practitioner working with clients experiencing chronic physical symptoms

✦ Someone who who has been experiencing symptoms for 6+ months without structural cause.

✦ When the treatments you've tried haven't really worked.

✦ Feeling hopeless in your health and want answers

✦ You have an idea that the nervous system could be a part of your symptoms.

This Is Not —

— A replacement for a full medical evaluation or workup

— Appropriate for emergency or acute care situations

— As a replacement for therapy

— A diagnostic instrument or a way to rule out medical causes

Scoring & Interpretation

Signals across different areas matter more than the raw number — use your clinical judgment alongside it.

0–3

Low likelihood

The nervous system probably isn't the main driver right now. Continue usual care and re-screen if symptoms persist past a few months.

4–6

Possible — worth exploring

Watch how symptoms track with stress and emotion, and consider a careful introduction of the nervous-system lens.

7–12

Strong likelihood

This client is a strong candidate for nervous-system-informed work. Real symptoms plus a system stuck in protection is exactly the pattern this approach is built for.

Please Note.

A screen, not a diagnosis. Use it alongside medical care, never instead of it. Make sure you have an appropriate medical evaluation, and seek medical advice for progressive neurological changes (new weakness, numbness, loss of coordination, bowel/bladder changes), unexplained weight loss, fevers or night sweats, or symptoms that are relentlessly worsening. Nervous-system and medical causes can coexist; when in doubt, collaborate

ABOUT GRACE

Why I built this tool

For 10 years I was struggling with health conditions. Chronic pain, CFS, histamine intolerances, headaches, gut issues, etc. - 10+ labels, no clear answers. That's when I stumbled across the connection between the nervous system, brain and chronic conditions.


After recovering and spending years studying this work — as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Somatic Trauma Therapist, and
Nervous System Coach — the Mind Body Healing Method program for nervous system recovery was born.


I created this screener because I wish I had it in my early years of illness and especially as a therapist supporting clients. This tools helps you understand when to open the nervous-system door so you can start supporting the mind-body connection to actually recover.
