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.

We all know that one of the biggest frustrations about living with chronic illness is the unsolicited ‘have you tried….?’ suggestions.
Especially when it’s being given by someone who has no experience or knowledge about what living in your body with your illness is actually like.
Even worse when it's being given by another person with chronic illness who vehemently believes that their diet, supplement or protocol is the only right way and if it didn't work for you, then you must be doing it wrong.
It's something that we all experience and it very rarely ever feels helpful at all because generally, unsolicited advice always feels like criticism or judgement, especially when it comes from close friends and family.
Why do people do this and how can you deal with all the "have you tried..." suggestions or the aggressive advice giving?
Let's talk about it this episode of The Emotional Autoimmunity Podcast, shall we.
