The Chronic Illness Therapists

By Destiny

Disrupting the mental health and medical system for people with chronic, invisible illnesses. We will no longer accept lack of answers, empathy, and guidance from the professionals we are told to trust. It’s not in your head, you are not a burden, and we’ll prove that to you one episode at a time. I'm an Atlanta-based mental health therapist specializing in chronic pain / invisible illnesses. This podcast is for educational and insight purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for mental health treatment. Always seek medical advice before making changes to your health regimens.

Ep 60: Exploring the Core Self: A Path to Emotional Healing

The conversation explores the importance of community and support in navigating challenges and healing. It delves into the role of attachment in personal growth and the fear of re-injuring oneself. The concept of psychological flexibility is discussed, emphasizing the need to observe and understand the patterns of pain and discomfort. The conversation also touches on the impact of childhood trauma and the importance of trust in the therapeutic process. The creation of a safe container for healing and the integration of different modalities, such as somatic work and art, are highlighted. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the need for communal support and the challenges of living in a society that values individualism.

Ep 56: My Intimacy Therapist and Vaginismus Therapy w/ Sadé Ferrier, M.S., LMFT

Sade is a sex therapist and intimacy coach, and I couldn’t be more excited to feature her this week. We discuss the emotional and physical aspects of pain conditions, like vaginismus; the power of a nap; holding your pee and the pelvic floor; and learning to slow down.


I personally did a date night with my husband led by Sade, and it was so much fun! Go to her website to see all the amazing offerings she has for you.

Maureen Kane is a therapist in Washington state. But more than that, she’s an author and a human. In our second interview, Maureen and I talk about how to start thinking about who you are based on who you were and who you want to be. It’s a journey in figuring out yourself, the hardest and longest journey we’ll ever tackle.

Maureen’s workbook is a perfect companion to this work, and I hope you enjoy our interview and her workbook as well!

Ep 45: Beyond the Medical Model: A Mindful Movement Guide to Living Well With Chronic Illness with Lindsay Voorhees OTR/L

Ep 45: Beyond the Medical Model: A Mindful Movement Guide to Living Well With Chronic Illness with Lindsay Voorhees OTR/L

Lindsay Voorhees is an occupational therapist, wellness coach, and mindful movement guide who helps people discover ways to thrive while living with chronic and complex health conditions. She worked for several years in hospital-based Occupational therapy settings, from an inpatient spinal cord injury unit to acute care and outpatient neurologic rehab. After witnessing the gaps and limitations within the healthcare system, she shifted her work from these more medicalized settings into a private practice better suited for instilling wellness and learning to thrive instead of just survive. Lindsay works with clients navigating chronic or complex health challenges, including multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, long COVID, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, cancer recovery, endometriosis, and more. She brings her expertise in neuro occupational therapy, mental health, and embodiment work into collaborative 1-to-1 client work as well as her group program, Root to Rise: Living Well with Chronic Illness.

Ep 43: When Healing Happens w/ Christina Kantzavelos, LCSW, MSW, MLIS

Ep 43: When Healing Happens w/ Christina Kantzavelos, LCSW, MSW, MLIS

Understanding one's body involves deciphering fear-based reactions from intuitive ones. Chronic illnesses like MCAS, dysautonomia, and EDS present differently in each person, making every day unpredictable.

We discuss

  • discuss the pros and cons of neural retraining programs for chronic pain

Ep 38: The 7 types of rest and how it applies to those of us with chronic illnesses

Ep 38: The 7 types of rest and how it applies to those of us with chronic illnesses

The concept of pacing is so difficult to get down because we get hung up on what we want to do in an ideal world vs what we’re capable of doing. And here’s the thing - the more we do this, the LESS capable we think we are. So there’s a shit ton of of trial and error - trying not to do too much and failing, then finding compassion for yourself AND properly supporting yourself with and during rest. Then trying again next time, slightly differently. This allows us to learn 1) what kind of supports we need 2) how long it takes us to recover from different kinds of activities 3) what’s important enough to us to use our energy on.

Ep 36: Confronting Misconceptions - ADHD and Autism accommodations in the school setting w/ Antonia Strothers, Psy.D., NCSP

Ep 36: Confronting Misconceptions - ADHD and Autism accommodations in the school setting w/ Antonia Strothers, Psy.D., NCSP

In this episode, we take a look at autism and ADHD, debunking common misconceptions and shedding light on the truths often obscured by ableism. Dr. Antonia Strothers explores the complexities of masking, where individuals unconsciously learn to protect themselves from discrimination. We discuss why social skills don't exclude someone from being autistic, and how good academic performance doesn't invalidate a potential ADHD diagnosis. The conversation then shifts to the importance of recognizing telltale signs that may warrant further exploration for a potential ADHD diagnosis. Finally, we delve into the concept of collaborative problem-solving, empowering listeners with tools to navigate these misunderstood conditions more effectively. Join us for this eye-opening discussion that aims to challenge stereotypes and foster understanding.

Ep 33: Exploring German New Medicine w/ Katherine Housh

Ep 33: Exploring German New Medicine w/ Katherine Housh

In this episode, we explore the controversial field of German New Medicine and its potential impact on chronic illness. German New Medicine is a theory that suggests that all diseases, including chronic illnesses, are caused by unresolved emotional conflicts that affect our body's natural healing mechanisms. Katherine Housh, a German New Medicine practitioner, will explain the principles behind this theory and how it differs from traditional medical approaches.

It is my (Destiny Winters) opinion that GNM and all alternative approaches be used in conjunction with, not instead of, conventional medicine. Use your intuition and be open to dialogue with all types of practitioners, and never let fear guide your decisions. Let your grounded understanding and values guide your actions.

Ep 32: The Root Chakra’s Role in Chronic Pain w/ Michelle Shlafman, MS, LPC, DCEP, BCHHC

Ep 32: The Root Chakra’s Role in Chronic Pain w/ Michelle Shlafman, MS, LPC, DCEP, BCHHC

If you've ever felt like your external life was affecting your inner world, then you might want to explore how direct work on the chakras can help. There are so many modalities to choose from, such as Reiki, breath work, and EFT/tapping. However, if you're willing to take the leap and try something new, then you might just discover a whole new level of balance and harmony in your life. Reiki, for example, is a powerful tool for balancing the chakras and creating a sense of inner peace. But if you're skeptical about energy work, then it might be hard to take that first step.
Therefore, it's important to understand how energy work is being integrated into western therapy practices. By seeing the benefits of energy work in a more scientific and evidence-based context, it becomes easier to embrace these practices as a way of supporting our overall well-being.
If you're looking to cultivate a sense of safety within your body, then energy work can be a powerful tool to help you achieve that. But it requires an open mind and a willingness to explore new possibilities.

Ep 27: Therapy Doesn’t Fix You, Your Illness, or Your Life

Ep 27: Therapy Doesn’t Fix You, Your Illness, or Your Life

This is my first solo episode!

Tune in as I explore the power of relationships and self-trust in our healing journey. This is a candid dialogue where I dive into the importance of connection and community in our path towards self-discovery and healing. From building trust with others to learning how to trust ourselves, this podcast will inspire and empower you to cultivate meaningful relationships and nurture your own inner wisdom.

I discuss

  • How to know when to keep going or when to stop with certain treatment protocols.
  • Who do you turn to when things go wrong or feel harder?
  • Why it’s better to heal together rather than alone
  • How we as therapists hold space for you in session
