10 Chronic Illness Misconceptions | Invisible Illness Edition

If you have a chronic illness and are looking for validation and understanding, or if you love someone who has a chronic illness and are looking to truly understand and empathize with them, this video is for you. I have been chronically ill with an invisible illness / hidden disability since the year 2000, so I’m intimately familiar with all of the misconceptions I’m going to discuss today. In addition to my experiences, I’m also going to highlight those of my clients, who I call Muses, because many of them also have chronic illnesses. Going to be talking about some tough stuff today, so skip this video if you need to.
