Chronic Illness & Gender Diversity
Chronic Illness & Gender Diversity
When you work with gender diversity, you will work with chronic illnesses.
...particularly a few conditions that aren't widely understood in the medical system.
Many trans and neurodivergent clients present with hard-to-explain symptoms—fatigue, pain, GI distress, dysautonomia—and often get labeled “complex,” “difficult,” or “psychosomatic.” This course helps you understand the chronic illness landscape so you can stop second-guessing your clients—and yourself.
