How Therapy Can Help with Chronic Pain and Illness - There's so much about living with chronic pain/illness that's unknown & that we can't control, but there's also a ton of personal development that can be done to help us live happier and more meaningful lives despite living with pain. When you're struggling with physical discomfort, emotional distress, traumatic experiences, and/or relationship difficulties, my therapy intensives can help get you out of fight/fight & into secure relationships with vourself & others.

I'm Destiny, and I help people with chronic illnesses reduce fatigue, reclaim their social lives, and find joy in their relationships again. My 4-hour therapy intensives provide a safe space to explore the emotional and psychological aspects of your health and relationships, which is often overlooked in traditional medical treatments.

By understanding the impact of pain on your mental health, we can develop a solid plan for creating and using coping strategies, reducing stress, and improving your overall quality of life. You can book a free consultation at thechronicillnesstherapist.com. l also host a podcast called The Chronic Illness Therapist Podcast.
