The Autoimmune Hour

Relationships — spouse, partner, and even friendships — are hard enough even in the best times. Add in a chronic or long-term condition, where one becomes a caregiver, and you add a new, unexpected dimension of roles. And one that often comes with little to no training!

• Creating daily support interactions to improve psychological well-being
• Ways to make sure the diagnosis doesn’t define roles
• How to have the hard conversations and set boundaries
• Tips to protect against emotional and physical stressors
Plus much more...
