## Resource

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is often misunderstood... but it’s real, common, AND treatable. In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me , vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Carly Lochala, PT, NCS sit down with Dr. Julie Hershberg, PT, NCS to explain what FND is, why it’s been minimized in healthcare, and how it overlaps with dizziness, migraine, dysautonomia/POTS, hypermobility/EDS, and vestibular disorders. They break down brain networks like the default mode network and salience network, discuss common clinical clues (variability, attention-related shifts), and explain how treatment often starts with nervous system regulation, trust-building, and whole-person care—not just exercises. If you’ve been told your symptoms are “all in your head,” this episode is for you.
