Emotional Autoimmunity: Dealing with the emotional issues of chronic illness
Chronic illness completely changes your life but nobody talks about or even acknowledges all of the emotional issues that come with it and I'm on a mission to change that. As an award winning coach and therapist living with four autoimmune diseases myself, I know exactly what the issues are and more importantly, how to help you overcome them. From medical gaslighting, dealing with grief and all of the 'what if' thoughts that keep you awake at night, let's talk about the emotional issues of chronic illness and what you can do to help yourself.
Emotional Autoimmunity: Dealing with the emotional issues of chronic illness
All about how people pleasing affects your chronic illness and what you can do about it.

How do you know if you are a people pleaser?
If you say yes to 3 or more of these statements, you definitely have some people pleasing characteristics which could be making your chronic illness symptoms worse.
- You find it really hard to say no to requests
- You often find yourself overcommitting to plans, events or responsibilities
- You rarely ever disagree with someone or voice your honest feelings or thoughts.
- You have a tendency to go along with things that you don't like or don't want to do to not create conflict
- You feel pressured to be "nice" at all times and not complain.
- You often feel that people take advantage of you or don't respect your time and energy.
- You feel resentful, exhausted, overwhelmed and unappreciated
- It feels like no matter how much you give, others still aren't there for you
