An Invitation to Restoration: A New Free Resource
Stephanie Washington | APR 23
Invisible illness and chronic illness can cause so much isolation & burnout. From the lack of understanding from friends and family, to the ongoing, exhausting treatment plans, we can feel like our existence revolves around defending our lived experience and "fixing our broken bodies." For these reasons, I have created a new free guide with chronically ill bodies in mind. I myself live with a myriad of symptoms from my chronic illness, and I understand the dynamic and unpredictable rhythms that we live with day to day.
This guide is not a protocol or treatment plan. It is meant to support you, and help you find a sense of ease and calm in your body. It may even be the step you need to build a more compassionate and loving relationship with your body. If that sounds bizarre or uncomfortable to you, you are not alone! I invite you to think about how relating to your body through the lens of chronic illness may have inadvertently made you feel at war with yourself. I want to start by acknowledging how valid this is. If this makes you angry or sad, please know those are perfectly reasonable emotions to be feeling in your circumstances, and they are welcome here. This acknowledgement and acceptance are HUGE steps in building a more compassionate relationship with yourself! Your experience matters and your feelings about that experience are valid!
This guide provides you with ACCESSIBLE tools you can incorporate into your life to help build that relationship and reduce the amount of stress your body has to carry (your chronic illness brings enough, so let’s reduce that load where we can)! Using these tools consistently will not only help you build greater awareness so you are empowered to make the choices that feel most supportive for you, but also help you start to connect with bodily sensations and emotions that are calming, soothing and bring a sense of ease.
