Stormproof: Living with Invisible Illnesses
Trauma and Medical Gaslighting
What happens when the people who are supposed to help you don't believe you? Whether it is the medical field, family or even friends? In this episode, we are talking about the trauma of medical gaslighting: being dismissed, ignored, or told "it's all in your head." I will share my experience and will explore how this kind of betrayal from outside sources impacts our bodies, minds, and trust in the system that is supposed to help us. Whether you have experience it yourself or a loved one has, this conversation is for you: anyone who has had to fight to be heard. You aren't imagining it! You aren't alone! Your story matters.
