Depathologising Chronic Invisible Illness

Chronic invisible illnesses — like persistent pain, fatigue, or dysautonomia — are often misunderstood and framed as problems to be fixed, leaving many feeling ashamed, dismissed, or broken. But what if we could see these experiences not as defects, but as signs of a nervous system doing its best to protect us?

In this 1-hour group session will explore:
-The benevolent functions of the nervous system — how protective responses often seen as ‘pathological’ are actually signs of your body working hard to keep you safe.

-The cultural norms that shape how our nervous systems respond — from the constant push for productivity and performance, to the lack of collective rest and recovery. Add to this the exposure to chemical, light, and noise pollution, the impact of capitalist-driven stressors which subtly slip into our behaviours— all of which can strain our nervous systems, predispose us to health challenges, and make healing harder.

-Practical, empowering ways to work with your brain and body — discover simple, evidence-informed tools to gently rewire your brain and support positive physiological change.

This gathering is an invitation to see yourself and your body through a different lens — with more understanding, less blame, and a pathway towards hope and self-compassion.
