Does this sound familiar?
We have clients, particularly those with concussion or vestibular conditions, who really struggle because you cannot "see" these conditions. These clients sometimes second guess themselves, and in turn start to question their own beliefs - you may have heard of the term "gaslighting". Gaslighting is a term that means "manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality." In this instance, clients make them question themselves. It is SO important to understand that many conditions that people experience, physically AND mentally, that may be hidden to the human eye, are very REAL experiences. Just because you cannot see it, does not mean it doesn't exist. We cannot compare apples with oranges! Especially during this time of year, when there are many social occasions happening, remember that what you are experiencing is very real, no matter who tells you otherwise, and a gentle reminder to practice self-compassion.
