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.

Have you ever wondered why you are so hard on yourself?
Constantly thinking things like 'I'm the only one who feels this way, everyone else seems to be coping but me, maybe I'm just being lazy or what if they are right and it is all in my head'?
Or you keep trying to guilt, blame and shame yourself into trying harder to do more and keep yourself awake at night, torturing yourself with all of the 'what if I never get better' and 'what if its always going to be this way' thoughts that leave you feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and afraid.
There is a reason why we all tend to be so hard on ourselves and like everything else, chronic illness has a way of making a bad thing feel even worse so if you've ever wondered why, the explanation is here in this episode.
I hope knowing it leaves you feeling a little less alone.
