Hi Friend,
I'm still recovering here from three days of very high temperatures and the stubborn, lingering affects of the dreaded virus.
It's definitely knocked my energy levels down a notch or two but I'm glad that I managed to record a new podcast today and get it out there into the world.
Season 4, episode 3 of my Emotional Autoimmunity podcast is out now and it's all about self-pity, self-compassion and toxic positivity.
There is no denying that when it comes to chronic illness, there is a huge gap in peoples understanding of just how much it changes your life, energy and ability.
So when it comes to trying to share your feelings, doubts, fears and sadness about your experiences of living with chronic illness, you are so often met with toxic positivity responses like 'at least it's not cancer' or 'you just need to be more positive'.
Many of the normal emotional experiences that come with chronic illness are so often wrongly interpreted by others as self-pity which feels dismissive, judgmental and demeaning.
In this episode I will walk you through all the ways that self-pity, self-compassion and toxic positivity relate to living with chronic illness and give you some insight into dealing with toxic positivity and learning to practice and benefit from self-compassion.
If you live with chronic illness and have ever worried about getting stuck in self-pity or felt shut down by all the 'just think more positive' people, then this episode is for you!
You can listen by clicking on the podcast image below or search and subscribe on your favorite podcast player.
If you are grappling with feeling stuck in self-pity or dealing with toxic positivity from people in your life, then book your FREE Discovery Session with me now.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.
wam wishes
