Paperback. A diagnosis finally arrives. After months or years of unexplained episodes, a video-EEG confirms what has been happening: the seizures are real, and they are not caused by epilepsy. Functional seizures. Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. PNES. The neurologist explains what the EEG did not show. Then they hand over a referral for a psychologist and wish you well. The seizures do not stop while you wait for the appointment. What This Book Covers The Functional Seizures Management Guide provides a complete, structured self-management program built around the autonomic nervous system, not cognitive strategies alone. Drawing on polyvagal theory, somatic regulation principles, and behavioral tools supported by the clinical research literature, this guide walks through every stage of management: mapping personal warning signals before an episode begins, understanding cumulative trigger patterns, using grounding protocols adapted for dissociation-prone nervous systems, building a written safety plan, recovering effectively after an episode, and gradually rebuilding daily independence. What Readers Will Find Inside Each chapter introduces a core principle and then delivers a practical tool. The book includes a thirty-day seizure and trigger log, six grounding protocols organized by sensory modality and selected for appropriateness with dissociation-prone nervous systems, a four-phase personal safety plan, a First Responder Briefing Card designed for wallet or home display, a Family One-Page Brief that can be handed directly to household members, a post-seizure recovery protocol covering the first thirty minutes, three hours, and twenty-four hours following an episode, and a five-dimension recovery framework that measures progress across frequency, severity, recovery time, daily function, and anticipatory anxiety. A Different Kind of Approach Where most available resources rely on standard cognitive-behavioral techniques or clinical formats designed for therapists, this guide addresses the autonomic nervous system directly. The grounding protocols are specifically selected for nervous systems prone to dissociation. The trigger mapping system accounts for cumulative load rather than individual stressors in isolation. The recovery framework measures improvement across five dimensions, so that readers who are making genuine progress can recognize it clearly, even when full seizure cessation has not yet been achieved. This Book Is for Readers Who Have received a confirmed PNES or functional seizures diagnosis and been given little or no practical self-management guidance Are waiting weeks or months for a specialist therapy appointment and need structured tools to use in the meantime Have tried standard relaxation or mindfulness techniques and found them insufficient or counterproductive for their nervous system Are family members, caregivers, or partners supporting someone with a functional seizures diagnosis Are allied health clinicians seeking a structured, evidence-informed patient resource to recommend alongside or before formal treatment Begin Where You Are Functional seizures are a genuine neurological condition. Managing them effectively requires a map, a set of practiced tools, and a realistic picture of what recovery can look like. This guide provides all three. For readers who are ready to move from a diagnosis to active, structured management, it offers a clear and practical place to begin. This item is printed on demand.
