#51. You're Terrified of the One Thing You Want Most and It's Fueling Your Chronic Illness

Your chronic symptoms ease.

You get a run of good days in a row.

And somehow that makes you more uneasy than the bad ones ever did.

This is why you got sick.

I'm Tekla DeFrancesco, certified mind-body practitioner and certified holistic life coach.

This podcast is for women living with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, IBS, chronic fatigue, PCOS, endometriosis, migraines, fibromyalgia, or persistent symptoms that no one can fully explain.

Twice a week, we look at how emotion drives chronic illness in women.

One episode goes deeper into the pattern beneath the symptoms.

The other gives you a quick way to interrupt the cycle.

If you're done organizing your life around symptoms and flare-ups, this is where that changes.

This podcast shares mind-body education.

It is not medical advice and is designed to complement, not replace your medical care.

Let's begin.

In this episode, you'll discover why a good stretch can leave you more on edge than a flare does.

You'll learn what your body is actually doing in the moments you can't let yourself enjoy.

And I'll give you one shift that lets you finally enjoy a good day instead of anxiously awaiting something to come and ruin it.
