Let’s Talk: Being Seen, Heard & Respected
Trauma, Invisible Illness, and the Mind–Body Connection
What happens when a person is suffering from a serious illness that others cannot see?
Millions of people living with conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrom (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, chronic pain, post-treatment Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, and other complex chronic illnesses face not only the burden of their symptoms, but also the pain of being misunderstood, dismissed, or disbelieved.
In this webinar, Dr. Gary Kaplan explores the connection between trauma, stress physiology, the nervous system, and chronic illness, and why feeling heard and respected is essential for healing.
Topics include:
– The science behind the mind-body connection
– Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and long-term health outcomes
– Medical trauma and healthcare-related PTSD
– The challenges of living with an invisible illness
– Supporting loved ones with chronic illness
– Why validation, compassion, and trauma-informed care matter
Whether you are a patient, caregiver, healthcare professional, or simply want to better understand the experience of chronic illness, this webinar offers insights into both the biology of suffering and the power of being believed. This webinar will consist of a 30 minute presentation followed by a live Q&A.
