A live workshop to help educate, inspire, and connect with others who also live with chronic pain and illness.
How do you keep up with friends while chronically ill? What if I always need to cancel? What if they get tired of me?
I’ll be helping you answer questions just like these in my next live workshop, April 20th, 2024 from 10-11:30am EST
This is not your typical advice workshop - it's aimed at helping you understand YOUR needs first and then how to communicate those needs effectively. A live workshop to help educate, inspire, and connect with others who also live with chronic pain and illness.
Workshop Goals:
Understanding the Barrier: Help attendees identify why they feel like a burden – common reasons include fear of rejection, feeling weak, not wanting to worry loved ones, and experiences of past dismissal.
Emphasizing Shared Humanity: Remind attendees that everyone needs help sometimes, and it's a healthy part of human connection.
Practical Strategies: Teach attendees how to make specific, manageable requests and give them "scripts" to use.
Self-Compassion: Foster a sense of worthiness and self-advocacy among attendees. Challenge the idea that needing help means being a burden.
Other parts of the discussion include:
How to talk to your friends about your illness in a way that fosters understanding.
Creative ways to "hang out" that fit your energy levels and limitations.
Tips for building lasting connections when dealing with an unpredictable health condition.
It comes with a workbook and the replay! Sign up here.
