There are few things more frustrating or more damaging than being dismissed by the very people who are supposed to help you. Medical gaslighting happens when symptoms are ignored, minimized, or blamed on anxiety, stress, or weight instead of being taken seriously. For those of us living with invisible disabilities, this experience is far too common and often delays real diagnosis and treatment for years.In this episode, I’m talking about what medical gaslighting looks like, how it affects both our physical and emotional health, and why it’s so important to trust what our bodies are telling us. I’ll also explore how we can advocate for ourselves in medical settings and start to rebuild trust after being dismissed or disbelieved.If you’ve ever walked out of an appointment feeling unheard or doubting your own experience, this episode will hit close to home.Connect with me:Facebook: www.facebook.com/walkingwithheatherTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@walkingwithheatherPatreon: www.patreon.com/walkingwithheather
