Strategies for talking about your health and support needs with family, friends, and colleagues.
Details
Communication with loved ones and colleagues can be challenging at the best of times, but especially when a chronic illness is involved. In fact, it’s often exceptionally difficult to discuss with family, friends, and colleagues about the symptoms we’re experiencing, the support we need, and any boundaries we might need to establish. Even when these people want to help and can see something’s wrong, we can fear that our honesty will make us seem like a burden, or that we might be misunderstood or dismissed.
In this session, we will explore strategies that will help us communicate more effectively with family, friends, and colleagues about our health and the support we need.
If it’s helpful to you, please feel free to bring your partner along too.
