Emotional Autoimmunity

Navigating the emotional side of autoimmune diseasese.

Welcome to Emotional Autoimmunity.

Living with an autoimmune disease isn't easy.

From knowing something is wrong but struggling to get a diagnosis, finding your way through the maze of treatment options to dealing with the impact on your relationships, family, work and finances.

Emotional Autoimmunity is all about conversations and strategies to deal with the emotional and psychological side of living with autoimmune disease from someone who knows exactly what it's like.

Feeling guilty? Why you feel guilt and the secrets to getting rid of it.

by Leave a Comment

If you live with chronic illness, then chances are high that you are also living with a big, heaping burden of guilt. Guilt is a signal from the mind and emotions that something needs to be faced and dealt with.

Unfortunately most people do not understand how to use guilt as the messenger that it is.

Instead, they become trapped in toxic guilt which adds to stress, which adds to inflammation, which adds to pain, misery and flares.

There is way to understand and deal with guilt appropriately and once you do this, you are going to feel so much more empowered, confident and relieved. All of which is going to help you feel much better.

This is a recording of a free webinar I held last week where I am sharing all of my professional secrets and tools on how to eliminate guilt.

It is not specifically targeted to those of us with autoimmune conditions but it will give you everything you need to start releasing your guilt and if you are still stuck, book in your free 20 minute Discovery Session with me on Skype and let’s talk about why you feel guilty and what we can do about it.

Here’s to guilt free living!

If you have gotten value and help from this, please, share it and pass it along!

Interview with Joyce Millard: it’s more than a journey of physical healing.

by Leave a Comment

When it comes to life with chronic illness, we can so often get stuck in a focus on the physical: The symptoms, the limitations, the supplements, the diet, the sleep, all of the different factors that go into making the most of your own unique health.

So I loved the discussion that Joyce and I had on all the other stuff: relationships, exercise, re-negotiating roles around the house, friendships and so many other things that make up your life.

It’s not just about the physical healing. Chronic illness can bring to light many changes that need to be made, relationships that no longer serve us, boundaries we need to set, all of those things that go into creating our new lives.

I know you will love this chat with Joyce. She is one lovely, inspiring woman with lots of wisdom to share!

 

Joyce lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with her husband and two daughters. Her autoimmune healing journey started ten months ago, after having undiagnosed illnesses for the previous fifteen years. Through this journey, she has developed a passion for encouraging those who struggle with managing autoimmune diseases and enjoys getting great resources into people’s hands that may be helpful in their own healing journey.

This journey has been about much more than physical healing. It has been an emotional and spiritual journey for Joyce as well. She currently works full time, and is working on a book project with her functional medical doctor that they hope will be of great benefit to not only people with chronic health issues, but to people who are hoping to improve their health in general.

How to get unstuck from the overwhelm of chronic illness.

There is no doubt about it, living with chronic illness can be overwhelming in so many ways.

Not just with managing symptoms including emotional and psychological ones such as: Anxiety, depression and apathy.

Chronic illness can change your life, your relationships and your ability to work, travel and earn.

I see so many people getting stuck in the overwhelm where everything feels too hard or too much or something that you don’t have the ability to do.

So here is a replay of my webinar to give you hope, encouragement and understanding of why you feel the way you feel and what you can do about it.

Let me know what you think!

Interview with Maggie Wilde: Finding the potential to rebuild your life and choose surrender over fear.

by Leave a Comment

What I love most about the honest conversations that people are so wiling to have with me, is that it is often the very first time that they are  publicly sharing their experience of life with chronic illness.

This is such an absolute blessing and something that I deeply appreciate and respect.

This is one of the few times that Maggie Wilde has openly talked about her experiences with life long chronic illness and how she has rebuilt and redefined her life on her terms.

After decades of undiagnosed antiphospholipd syndrome and Lupus, Maggie created a powerful recovery and rebirth after a stroke that left her unable to care for herself. It was the beginning of a new and amazing life where mindset and neural rewiring played a massive role in her recovery.

She has gone on to build a successful business, travel the world and help so many others along the way. I know you will get so much out of this interview with Maggie. You can find out more about Maggie Wilde below.

 

 

Maggie Wilde is The Potentialist. She is an award winning Author, Therapist and Coach specializing in Rewiring the Mind to Achieve Ultimate Potential.

Diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders at age 21, Maggie has overcome numerous near death flares over the past 29 years. She has recovered from complications of Lupus Nephritis and anti-phospholipid syndrome including Stage 4 Kidney Failure, a severe Stroke, Epilepsy, lung and heart inflammation and a variety of other traumatic symptoms caused during flares of this systemic disease.

Maggie comes from a long genetic lineage of Autoimmune challenges ranging from diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos thyroiditis, scleroderma and variety of others.

In 2006 as she lay on yet another hospital bed praying for the fight to be over, Maggie made a choice. “I’m tired” she said. “I can’t fight with my body or this disease anymore. I choose to surrender to live rather than fight to survive.” She joked to her friend by the bedside “If that means I surrender to exist on the other side in spirit I’m okay with that, I’ve had a great life.” She knew at last that if she was meant to be here, she didn’t want or need to fight or fear the disease anymore.

Maggie had surrendered control of her health to her body’s innate wisdom and her higher power. Within hours of this release, Maggie had a major stroke, died and was resuscitated. Her rebirth began that very day. Her life, internal state and health changed forever. At age 39, 18 years after diagnosis, her life actually began.

Since then Maggie’s life has gone from strength to strength. She is one of Australia’s leading Clinical Mindset Therapists and her books and groundbreaking CPR Brain Training Programs have won Gold and Silver Internationally recognised in Psychology and Mental Health, Health and Wellbeing, Women’s Health and Fitness and more.

Maggie and her client success stories are regularly featured on national and international Television including Sunrise, A Current Affair, The Daily Edition, San Diego Living and more. Also featured in: The Sydney Morning Herald, Woman’s Day, Take 5, Woman’s Health & Fitness and the London Daily Mail plus hundreds of appearances on local, national and international radio.
