The Chronic Illness Therapists

Ep 94: At my sickest, I couldn't leave my house


Listen Later

At my sickest, I couldn't leave the house most days. Over 10 years later, I can have full days out without even thinking about it. This is a small part of my real, unfiltered story of living with chronic illness—the struggles with getting diagnosed, what finally started to help, and the hard truths about healing that no one talks about.

In this video, I share:

  • Why I stopped chasing diagnoses after being gaslit by doctors
  • The role of pharmaceutical medication in my healing journey
  • What trauma work actually is (and isn't)
  • The truth about neuroplastic pain and medical gaslighting
  • How I went from housebound to living a full life


I talk honestly about low-dose naltrexone, ketotifen, functional medicine, and why healing isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. If you're struggling with chronic pain, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or just feeling lost in the medical system, this might resonate with you.


Chronic Pain & Illness IntensivesIf you're ready to work on changing your relationship with chronic pain while still taking proper medical care of yourself, I offer 1:1 intensives over 2-3 days.
