Are you struggling with the effects of somatic symptoms or unexplained physical pain?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Chronic physical symptoms (pain, fatigue, digestive issues, headaches, dizziness, etc.) that doctors struggle to explain or treat effectively
- A sense that your body is betraying you or that something is seriously wrong, despite medical tests coming back normal
- Feeling dismissed or misunderstood by medical professionals who imply your symptoms are “all in your head.
- Significant anxiety or preoccupation with your physical symptoms
- Your physical symptoms worsening during times of stress or emotional distress
- Difficulty functioning in daily life due to the limitations imposed by your physical symptoms
- A history of trauma, high stress, or adverse childhood experiences that may be linked to your current physical state
