Chronic Health Issues
Chronic health conditions can bring about challenging inner experiences such as confusion, anxiety, fear, panic, anger, frustration, depression, and hopelessness. Sometimes there is a clear diagnosis and prognosis for the set of symptoms and sometimes they are a mystery. Sometimes what the doctor prescribes is effective in providing relief. However, difficult thoughts might still linger: “Will this continue to work? What is actually going on? Are the short and long term side effects of the treatment worth it? Do I really have a medical issue or is this just all in my head?”
