In this video, Ellie and I dive into the realities of navigating chronic illness and trauma recovery. Everyone's history is unique, meaning that how we learn, perceive the world, and process what we can handle varies drastically from person to person.

Because of this individual complexity, true healing demands a slow, titrated capacity-building approach rather than diving headfirst into the deep end of past traumas.
