Treating clients with chronic illness requires a different skill set. 

Chronic illness is a chronic stressor to the body, and it requires a unique approach to therapy and medical care.

Most providers can imagine what it feels like to feel bad in their body every day, and they can learn about it in textbooks, but the actual experience isn't possible to understand unless you've lived it.

Many training programs do not provide adequate expertise in supporting patients with chronic illness. If it’s mentioned, the lived experience perspective is left out.

100% of participants strongly recommend the training to other professionals

What people are saying about the training:

  • “OH MY GOODNESS!!! You are SUCH an incredible teacher. Truly - this was one of the most organized, thought-provoking, person-centered clinical trainings I've ever seen. I'm blown away by how much intention and attention you put to every single detail of it. This was exactly the type of training I was hoping our team would receive, but you truly went above and beyond.”

    -Irina Alexander, LMFT, Training Director

  • “The workshop was so well done! It really made it clear how to best support people with chronic illness as a therapist and gave me a clear framework to draw on to provide ethical and empowering care.”

    -Andrés Hortensi, AMFT

  • “I loved this workshop. As a clinician with chronic illness myself, the information provided felt spot-on -- to the point of me getting tearful at a couple points! I also felt like the structure of the workshop was extremely accessible to learners of varying degrees of previous knowledge.”

    -AG

  • “I spoke up in one of the interactive prompts and in your response you were extremely "present." This was profound for me in a way - I concluded that you care deeply about my learning/our learning.”

    -Laura Saponara, AMFT

Chronic Illness

Say They “Definitely” or “Probably” Wouldn’t Return to a Provider Who Dismissed Them

*Research Poll w/ 375+ individuals on Instagram (Dxs include: Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, POTS, Type I Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, IBS, PTSD, OCD, and more)

This means patients stay in care instead of dropping out, and outcomes improve, when providers learn to provide a supportive space.

The issue is that many providers aren’t aware of what feels dismissive to someone with chronic illness.

The co-created training will make that incredibly clear by combining the words of the community, the gaps in research, and my combination of psychology expertise and lived experience of illness.
