This is a growing collection of reflections, tools and resources exploring the emotional load of illness, our relationship with our bodies and the challenges of making space for life alongside ongoing health challenges.
Resources are organised under three headings:
Exploring the System - articles about the different 'loads' we might be experiencing.
Easing the Load (this page) - Resources around emotional wellbeing, stress and developing a different relationship with difficult experiences.
For Carers - Resources specifically for people supporting someone living with long term illness.
When we’re navigating healthcare, it can be surprisingly difficult to know what we’re entitled to ask for — and even harder to feel confident speaking up for ourselves.
With chronic illness, this can be especially important. Your healthcare journey may involve multiple practitioners, different opinions and decisions that can have a significant impact on your life. Knowing your rights can help you feel more informed, empowered and able to advocate for yourself.
I’ve created Your Health Bill of Rights as a simple, accessible reminder of the things you have a right to expect from your healthcare relationships. It’s also a gentle reminder that advocating for yourself isn’t being difficult or demanding — your voice matters.
I hope you find it helpful, reassuring and empowering. And if there’s something you think should be included, I’d love you to add your own insights and experiences in the spirit of patient advocacy.
Coming soon.
