A mind that doesn’t seem to keep up the way it used to. Fatigue that seems to consume you. Persistent pain. This daily battle feels relentless. You find yourself wishing for a different “normal,” but this is your reality. Countless times you’ve had to cancel plans with family, friends, and loved ones. Your sick days are used up, opportunities have passed you by, and you find yourself questioning if you’ll ever catch a break.
You’re frustrated, angry, sad, anxious and so many more emotions. And frankly, well, you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired!
I hear you.
How Can a Chronic Illness Therapist Help Me?
Chronic illnesses are debilitating, no matter how visible it may be to others. When you’re struggling physically and emotionally, it’s no wonder your mental health suffers too. But maybe you’re wondering how exactly therapy for a chronic illness can help. Well, if you haven’t heard already, there’s this wonderful thing called…
The Mind-Body-Connection
It’s not uncommon to think of the mind and the body as two entirely separate things. But, maybe you have noticed that when you’re having a particularly bad day physically, your mood changes too. You may feel depressed, not feel motivated, or find it harder to concentrate. Those feelings, in turn, may make your physical symptoms even worse, starting an unrelenting cycle of pain and emotional turmoil.
How My 3-Part Chronic Illness Therapy System Can Help You
Of course you’re ready for a change. Of course you’re ready to find some relief. Of course you’d like things to be just a little bit better (if not a whole lot better.) And while I can’t promise you complete relief from your chronic illness, I can help you better understand what your unique triggers are, better communicate with medical professionals to get the answers and care you need, and build a toolbox of coping skills to help you navigate both the good days and the bad.
Interested? Great. Let’s break down what I can offer you.
PART 1: UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT CAUSES
Gain a deeper understanding of your individual triggers and experiences with your chronic illness and what actions you can take to improve your symptoms.
Our first step together is to gain a deeper understanding of your experience with chronic illness. Everyone’s story really is unique, so it’s important we take the time to talk about your experiences, your concerns, and your hopes for the future. I’ll provide you with an arsenal of tools to help track your symptoms, which we can later use to identify triggers and opportunities for growth.
PART 2: CONNECT WITH SPECIALIZED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Form relationships with medical professionals that specialize in your chronic illness and learn how to advocate for yourself and your needs.
I know how incredibly frustrating it can be to try and speak up for yourself at the doctor’s office. I’ll teach you “doc talk” so that you can get on the same page with professionals who truly understand your needs for your chronic illness. I’ll also help you navigate the ins and outs of the healthcare world so that you can focus on your health.
PART 3: BUILD A TOOLBOX OF COPING SKILLS
Use CBT and other therapeutic practices to create the lifestyle that you want.
Combining cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, mindfulness practices, and more, I’ll empower you with the tools and coping strategies you need to navigate the daily obstacles of living with chronic illness. Our goal together is to help you cultivate resilience, foster a positive mindset, and promote overall well-being.
