In this episode of The Healing Catalyst, Dr. Avanti sits down with Nitika Chopra to explore her journey through chronic illness and how she’s learned to navigate life with resilience and self-compassion.
Nitika shares her personal story of being diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, along with her past experiences with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and how these challenges have shaped her perspective on health and healing. Together, they dive into the emotional complexities of living with chronic illness, including the impact of the “sick role”—the struggle to accept a diagnosis without letting it define one's entire identity. They also discuss the delicate balance between accepting help and maintaining self-identity, as well as the importance of connection and community for healing and resilience. This powerful conversation offers insights on embracing both the hardships and growth that come with managing a difficult diagnosis or long-term illness.
