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.

    Ep 125: When Your Illness Has a History: Medical Gaslighting, Invisible Illness, and Why You're Not Imagining It with Emily Mendenhall PhD
    Apr 16 2026
    If you've ever been dismissed by a doctor, told your symptoms were stress or anxiety, or felt like the medical system wasn't built for people like you — this episode traces exactly how we got here. The history of "hysteria" didn't end; it evolved, and understanding that history might be one of the most validating things you do for yourself today.In this episode, you'll hear from Emily Mendenhall, medical anthropologist, Guggenheim Fellow, and author of Invisible Illness: A History from Hysteria to Long COVID. Her concept of structural silencing reframes medical dismissal not as individual doctors failing patients, but as a system operating exactly as it was designed.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ ⁠Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

  • When Your Nervous System Shows the Problem and Has Part of the Solution: MCAS & Mast Cell Disorders with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse

    When Your Nervous System Shows the Problem and Has Part of the Solution: MCAS & Mast Cell Disorders with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse
    Apr 10 2026
    When your symptoms shift daily and no one, not even your doctor, can give you clear answers, the hypervigilance can feel like the only rational response. But what if that constant scanning is actually making your nervous system harder to calm, and there's a way to work with it instead of against it?In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and trauma related to food allergies and mast cell conditions. She reframes nervous system regulation not as a reset button, but as a slow, trust-building process, and explains why that distinction matters more than most people realize.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ ⁠Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.
