Mind If We Talk?

How to Cope With a Tough Diagnosis


Listen Later

Health complications are stressful on their own, but when healthcare providers aren’t listening to your concerns, what can you do? 


On this episode, host and therapist Haesue Jo talks with Ryan Sickler, comedian and host of The HoneyDew Podcast, a storytelling show aimed at highlighting and laughing at the lowlights of life. 


At age 42, Ryan received a diagnosis that changed his life. A decade later, that diagnosis—and a supposedly simple surgery—nearly led to his death. Today, Ryan sits down to reflect on his journey with a genetic condition called factor V Leiden. Using therapy and a healthy sense of humor, he has confronted his complicated feelings about his diagnosis, his harrowing experiences as a patient, and his family’s health history. 


Then, Haesue is joined by Dr. Sreela Roy-Greene, LMHC, clinical operations manager at BetterHelp. They break down how physical health challenges can affect mental health and talk about the therapeutic intervention that helped Ryan. If you or a loved one are feeling lost under the weight of medical stress, then this episode is for you.
