This video is a voiceover and the second in a two-part series on the connection between trauma and chronic illness. If you haven't watched "The Connection Between Trauma and Chronic Illness Part I," please go back and watch this first since it’s the first in the series and sets the foundation for this video. In this part of the series, we discuss ways to approach chronic illness if you face the daily challenges of living with one, particularly if it's related to trauma. We then discuss coping strategies to improve your health, lifestyle choices that can help move your illness in the right direction, and ways you can advocate for yourself both in regards to your mental and physical health.
