Pamela breaks down the four types of narcissistic parents (grandiose, covert, malignant, and communal) and explains how growing up with narcissistic caregivers creates hypervigilance that extends beyond scanning the environment to scanning the body internally, amplifying pain perception and contributing to conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and migraines. She discusses why many high-achieving adults don't recognize their childhood experiences as traumatic, how complex PTSD manifests in successful people who come to therapy for seemingly unrelated issues, and why addressing the underlying trauma through therapy can significantly improve both emotional well-being and physical pain symptoms. Pamela emphasizes that healing begins with repairing the relationship with oneself and recognizing that you deserve care and are worthy of good things, rather than existing solely to benefit others.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / FacebookPamela is the owner of Sea Change Therapy, where there is a variety of specialties in the office with accessible building and easy parking access.

Walker shares how he discovered that most nonprofit hospitals are legally required to provide financial assistance (charity care) to patients who meet certain income qualifications, yet hospitals rarely inform patients about these programs. And you'd be surprised at how high some of the income requirements are!Since launching in 2012, DollarFor has helped eliminate nearly $90 million in medical debt by creating user-friendly tools that help patients determine eligibility and apply for charity care programs that can completely wipe out hospital bills. Walker explains that charity care is far more accessible than most people realize, with many programs covering households earning up to 250-400% of federal poverty guidelines, and offers practical advice for negotiating medical bills when charity care isn't an option.Resources mentioned:→ dollarfor.orgMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / X / YouTube / TikTok→ SIGN UP FOR DESTINY'S NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJOIN DESTINY'S MEMBERSHIP - for folks with chronic pain & illness→ Join Welcome To The Waiting Room (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Jackie explores how childhood family dynamics, especially scapegoating, can affect adult behavior patterns and relationships with medical providers. She explains how people who were scapegoated as children often struggle with trusting themselves and advocating for their needs in healthcare settings. The conversation covers practical strategies for setting boundaries while staying connected, asking for help effectively, and recognizing that healing isn't about perfect responses but rather increased awareness and continued effort. Jackie and Destiny also discuss the challenges of navigating the medical system and how integrated care models can help bridge communication gaps between patients and providers.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Jackie's Textbook for Medical Professionals→ SIGN UP FOR DESTINY'S NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJOIN DESTINY'S MEMBERSHIP - for folks with chronic pain & illness→ Join Welcome To The Waiting Room (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

They discuss the importance of women trusting themselves when advocating for their health needs, as many experience being dismissed or unheard by healthcare providers. Kara shares strategies for self-advocacy, including practical approaches like symptom tracking and preparing questions, as well as emotional regulation techniques to help clients recognize bodily sensations and navigate nervous system responses during difficult healthcare interactions. They explore how past trauma and people-pleasing behaviors can interfere with self-advocacy, emphasizing that learning to trust yourself is foundational to health advocacy.

Episode Summary:In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jenny Tufenkina, a naturopathic physician who shares her framework of five root causes behind chronic fatigue and complex illnesses. Drawing from both her clinical experience and personal journey recovering from fatigue twice in her life, Dr. Jenny walks us through how the hormone triangle, chronic infections, toxic overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, and limbic system dysregulation can contribute to these conditions. As someone currently addressing my own adrenal/hormone challenges, I appreciated her individualized approach that recognizes each person's unique situation. Dr. Jenny offers practical insights on identifying which root causes might be present in your case and potential paths forward, all while maintaining a compassionate perspective. For those interested in learning more, she's hosting a summit on chronic fatigue running April 11-18, 2025 with researchers and practitioners exploring these topics in depth.Resources mentioned:→ Dr. Jenny's Summit April 11-18, 2025→ Why Are You So Tired QuizMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / FacebookSIGN UP FOR OUR NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ Strength Training w/ Fibromyalgia April 5th 2025 @ 10:30am EST / 3:30pm GMTREAD THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODE→ASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJoin The Membership (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Episode Summary:In this episode, I chat with David McGettigan, an amazing pain and movement specialist who's been helping people for 15 years recover from chronic pain and other symptoms, like chemical sensitivity and insomnia. David works with folks who've been bounced around the healthcare system without finding real answers.I love how he frames pain as an adaptation instead of a "dysfunction" - such a game-changer! We discuss the connection between sleep and pain (mind-blowing stuff about how poor sleep literally opens neural pathways to more pain), and how morning sunlight can reset your whole system.David shares his own journey with chronic pain and gives super practical advice about healing timelines - did you know tissue typically needs 6-8 week cycles to adapt? No wonder quick fixes don't stick!What I appreciate most is how David balances solid science with real compassion - "evidence of safety" for your nervous system and pacing your recovery properly. If you're dealing with chronic pain or know someone who is, this conversation offers both hope and practical steps forward. David truly believes change is possible at any stage, and after talking with him, I do too!Resources mentioned:→ Bigger Than Pain ProgramMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / YouTube /SIGN UP FOR DESTINY'S NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ Strength Training w/ Fibromyalgia

Episode Summary: Samina Qureshi is a registered dietitian specializing in IBS management from a weight-inclusive perspective. She challenges the common approach of endless food elimination, revealing that the standard low FODMAP diet should only last 2-4 weeks, not months or years as many attempt. Samina explains why food sensitivity tests are largely unreliable and how restriction often worsens gut symptoms by disrupting motility and starving beneficial gut bacteria. Instead, she advocates for focusing on adding variety rather than eliminating foods, and recognizes that simply nourishing your body regularly is powerful nervous system work. For those caught in cycles of restriction and worsening symptoms, Samina offers a refreshing path forward that expands food choices while addressing individual digestive needs, proving that healing your relationship with food and finding relief from IBS symptoms can happen simultaneously.MEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / Facebook / TikTok→ Sign up for Samina's Free Guide: 5 Ways to Avoid IBS Flares!MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokSIGN UP FOR OUR NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ Your Perfect Morning Routine

Episode Summary:In this episode, therapist Miranda Campbell, LCSW, co-author of "The Attachment Makeover," joins host Destiny Davis LPC CRC to explore how attachment styles impact chronic illness management. Miranda explains that attachment styles aren't fixed and we can develop "earned secure attachment" through intentional work. She breaks down how anxious attachment (fear of disconnection), avoidant attachment (fear of closeness), and disorganized attachment (unpredictable push-pull dynamics) affect both patients and caregivers in illness contexts.Drawing from her own experience with migraines, Miranda offers practical strategies for developing more secure patterns and adjusting expectations about what relationships can look like. The conversation highlights the cultural context of attachment wounds, particularly in BIPOC communities, and emphasizes that understanding these dynamics isn't about blame but creating pathways to more compassionate care relationships.MEET Miranda: Book / Website for therapy clients / Website for services for other therapists / InstagramMiranda brings 15 years of experience in trauma-informed therapy, specializing in attachment wounds, boundaries, and relationship healing.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokSIGN UP FOR THE MENTALLY WELL WHILE CHRONICALLY ILL MEMBERSHIP→ Sign up here for monthly workshops and a weekly support group on Fridays at noon ESTREAD THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODE→ASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJoin The Membership (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

In this episode, Dr. Monica Blied and I have a real conversation about creating a healthier relationship with movement when living with chronic illness. Dr. Blied shares her personal journey with lupus, fibromyalgia, and later-diagnosed ADHD and autism, which led her to develop the free Faces of Health app offering mental health skills and somatic exercises. She provides a practical three-step approach to movement: using technology (like the FitOn app) for accessible workouts, embracing slow pacing rather than pushing too hard, and working out with friends for accountability. Throughout the episode, we demonstrate simple chair yoga and range-of-motion exercises, emphasizing that movement shouldn't make your body feel worse. Dr. Blied highlights the importance of self-compassion, reminding listeners that progress isn't linear and that it's okay if your best looks different each day. The episode concludes with a bonus announcement about a new body doubling group in the Mentally Well While Chronically Ill membership, where members can join together for PT exercises, cleaning, meal prep, and other activities that benefit from community support.***Resources mentioned:→ FitOn→ Faces Of Health→ Body Doubling Group (Inside Destiny's Mentally Well While Chronically Ill Membership)MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: WebsiteSIGN UP FOR MY NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ Reclaiming Intimacy: A Workshop For Bodies In Pain Feb 22nd 2025 @ 10:30am EST / 3:30pm GMT→ READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJoin The Membership (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

While identifying and avoiding specific triggers can be helpful, overanalyzing the reasons behind flare-ups can be counterproductive. Instead, the focus should be on implementing a flare-up protocol that includes daily care practices like guilt-free rest, regular meals, comfort measures, and stress reduction techniques. By prioritizing response strategies and maintaining mindful awareness, we can better manage our symptoms and improve cognitive function despite the challenges of brain fog and other distressing symptoms.

Rowan is a clinical mental health counselor and art therapist in Savannah, Georgia, specializing in working with the neurodivergent, LGBTQ, and fat liberation communities.

Chronic pain can feel like a raging bear inside you. It's loud, scary, and all-consuming. But what if there was a way to calm the bear and find some peace? In this conversation, Jason Therrien and Destiny Winters explore the concept of pain as a complex experience, influenced by physical, emotional, and psychological factors. Jason is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Therapeutic Pain Specialist and Certified Health and Well-being Coach, and Destiny Winters is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. They discuss a different approach to chronic pain management – moving away from the traditional "find-and-fix" mentality and instead, highlight the importance of understanding your pain, rather than just getting rid of it without real awareness first. __________________________________________________ CONNECT: ***If you like any of The Chronic Illness Therapist episodes, please leave a review!
