The Psychology of Chronic Illness: Making it Normal [Part 2: Anxiety]

Part 2. Anxiety

Chronic illness can create chaotic internal processes that can have profound effects on the way we experience ourselves, other people, and life in general. This can leave us feeling significantly different than those around us, which in turn, can make it hard for us to understand ourselves. This presentation aims to reduce our suffering by identifying and validating these experiences through a brief review of some of the scientific research regarding the “normal” psychological and social aspects of chronic illness.

Join Timothy Weymann, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in this 6-part series, as he validates and normalizes the psychological and social aspects of chronic illness.
