Living with chronic illness can affect far more than physical health. Ongoing symptoms, uncertainty, medical procedures, difficult healthcare experiences, and the loss of a familiar way of life can all have a profound emotional and psychological impact. For some clients these experiences can be deeply traumatic.

For psychotherapists, understanding the relationship between chronic illness and trauma is important to providing care that validates both the physical realities and the psychological impact of chronic illness.

In this webinar, therapists will gain a deeper understanding of the intersection of trauma, chronic illness, and nervous system regulation. Christina will also explore how trauma-informed and somatic approaches can support clients living with chronic illness.
