When Your Support Becomes Your Stressor

from Empowerment In Illness · host Gwen Pike

In this episode, we get honest about one of the most guilt-laden experiences in chronic illness: when the people who are supposed to support us become a source of stress instead. We talk about why it happens, what to do about it, and how to protect your energy without burning down the relationships that matter. We close with journal prompts and a listener action plan to help you start having the conversations your support system needs to hear.
