By far, the biggest and most upsetting issue for those of us living with chronic illness is not being believed.
From Doctors, family, friends and even total strangers on the internet, there are so many people full of scepticism, unsolicited advice and downright disbelief.
But how do you deal with the questions and comments like:
- It's all in your head.
- Why are you still so sick?
- There must be some Doctor who can fix you.
- You just need to think more positive.
- But you look so well.
- You need to stop letting the illness define you.
In this episode I take a deep dive into the basis of other peoples disbelief, how to deal with the comments and judgements and more importantly, what you can do to empower yourself.
Kerry Jeffery is a Coach, Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist helping clients all around the world to overcome the emotional issues of living with chronic illness.
She lives in Melbourne, Australia along with Hashimoto's, Celiac, Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Type 1 Diabetes.
