”Chronic Pain Is All In Your Head” They Tell Me - Petra Phoenix
Manage episode 324566362 series 2362729
Like many hidden illnesses to a lot of people (who exclusively have never suffered from it) Chronic Pain is "all in your head". A tremendously invalidating thing to hear when every day you are experiencing one form of pain or another.
This is an expression that our guest Petra Phoenix has heard more times than she cares to count, and a sentiment that she would wish to educate people on. As acceptance and understanding may not cure chronic pain, but they'd certainly make living with it that little bit easier!
