Talking Points: -Words are the most powerful force in the universe. -Your words either build a bridge to where you want to be, or create a prison to keep you where you are at. -A key to unlocking the power of positive self-talk, is to stop the negative self-talk. -Shift your focus off the problem and onto the solution. -Your ATTITUDE shapes your actions. (Speaking positive affirmations changes your attitude, thus changes your reality)   Levels Of Self-Talk Level 1- I can’t (self-defeating) -I can’t, I wish, I couldn’t   Level 2-Beguiling (self-condemnation) -recognizes a problem but creates no solutions.   Level 3-Recognition + decision (proactive)  -Speak as though you already have it.   Level 4-The better you!     Example: -Instead of saying "I’m in too much pain to do that.” I now say "I can’t wait to be able to do that with you," or "someday soon I’m going to do that with you.”    Sponsored by Envita Medical:Envita Medical

 Our special and anonymous guest today shines a light on the emotional side of parenting kids with congenital Lyme. Parents all over the world are waged in a battle for the lives of their kids.   Talking Points- Chronic pain  Seizures  Confusion  Loss  Educational barriers Medical poverty Fatigue  Isolation  Fear Rage Despair Lack Survival Disability Congenital Lyme has devastating symptoms that can break your will to live. Kids suffer on unfathomable levels because care is hard to find and cost prohibitive. Additionally, many families with congenital Lyme have several people in the same house who are sick.  Sponsored by Enivita Medical~"The clinic that saved my life." ~Sarah https://www.envita.com/?utm_source=lymevoice&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lymevoice-cpc-blog&utm_content=blog Have you seen the short documentary that we recently did? It is an honest and raw look at the emotional side of chronic Lyme disease. The facts about chronic Lyme disease are currently being argued all ove

Talking Points: Reconnecting with your kids in the aftermath of being in survival mode. Tackling chores as a household. Recognize that any “system” is only as good as the person managing it. (Consider giving that responsibility to someone who is capable of implementing, training and following up with the chores) Everything we face is either an opportunity to change or opportunity to let it defeat you. Having a victim mentality or a victory mentality. Creating boundaries that enable health and healing.  Healing isn’t linear, it has ups and downs.  Bio: Heather M. Getty contracted Lyme disease sometime early in childhood. However, she would not get an accurate diagnosis until her mid 30’s. Since beginning treatment in 2014 she has devoted her time to help others cope with the daily struggles of living with chronic illnesses and teaching people about the power of good supplements. She starred in the Lyme documentary, Disappearing From Society. She is a devoted wife and mom and together with her husband Adam,

  Talking Points: Managing the anxiety that comes from PTSD.  Changing and growing on the emotional side of things. Understanding that everything (tasks, conversations, events) is much harder than it once was. Shifting my verbiage from negative self-talk into positive self-talk and carrying it with me throughout the day. Flooding-Be aware of how it affects you. Game changer-Celebrating small wins, or what might seem like an insignificant win. It takes constant energy and effort to give yourself grace as you heal. Stephanie Richards talks about the grief and loss associated with long-term traumas. The deep sense of loss, loss of self and how to move forward emotionally. Quotes: "I needed some guidance to change my perspective and help me grow on the emotional side.” "Don’t quit trying to heal" "We felt a sadness deeper than any sadness we’ve ever felt."  "I couldn’t explain the depth of sadness that I felt. And it seemed like I carried it with me for years." Sponsored by Envita Medical -"The clinic that sa

Dr. Shelly Gruenig talks about her most important role as a mom. And how as a family they have supported their teenager with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.    -What kind of physician are you seeing, can they diagnose and treat? If you want to get better, you have to see physicians who can walk you down that path towards wellness   -One of the things that I hear from parents who are trying to help their teens is that it looks like depression.    Talking Points: Knowing when to advocating for them. But also empowering them to become independent. Addiction vs. Dependency-Helping teens deal with chronic pain. Becoming a coach and encouraging them. Teens have to decide for themselves what they are willing to implement.   Quotes: "I felt like I was sitting on her coattails, trying to hold her back”-Dr. Shelly Gruenig "I thought I was going crazy, I never knew this was because of my chronic illness.”-Makenzie Gruenig “Chronic pain takes a part of your soul.”-Aaron Sanchez "I could see more clear

Aaron Sanchez and Adam Getty talk through the logistics and complexities of family and finances when you are battling Lyme disease and more specifically, chronic Lyme. And what they would have done differently... When do you need to act on behalf of your spouse? In order to become a caregiver-you end up dropping something else, homes, jobs, etc. What I would have done differently. Acknowledging that things are not getting better, and start learning new skills: laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning, family finance. You can’t “work” your way out of Lyme and raising kids. The healthy spouse is often very disconnected from everyone. Balancing all the responsibilities. Neither of you are thinking clearly. (Lose-lose decisions) You are juggling all these plates-you are balancing and surviving, barely, if you pick up one more thing, something gets dropped, sometimes it is fear based (more worry), sometimes you have to short sale your house, so that plate breaks.   The Longevity of Lyme requires transformation:

  There is so much evidence on the destructive nature of concussions.  The movie “Concussion” shows the long-term effects of living with brain damage. Lyme-brain or brain-fog is real and bears similarities to concussions. This episode was born out of the often tearful conversation between two brain damaged individuals. Both who were once confident and capable. After two different types of traumatic brain injuries, they were left to figure out the realities of life with brain damage.   Stephanie was the only other person in my life who understood the complexities, longevities, and frustrations of living below your full potential. For her, I was the only one who could sympathize with the confusion and complexity of trying to navigate the demands of life, while also shackled with short term memory loss, anxiety and the confusion associated with most traumatic brain injuries.    We both struggle with: ~working memory ~cognitive function     Cognitive impairments: Can include changes in thinking and reasoning

Most of us will face a traumatic event at some point in our lives. Trauma can either bury you. Or, you can choose to rise above it, learn what you can and move forward. My journey with chronic Lyme has changed the trajectory of my life in so many ways. Dr. Shelly Gruenig shares her experience with us, as she turns her personal trauma into transformation.    Talking Points: Coping with “Trauma” without SHAME It was time for radical change Making a decision to FIGHT for yourself Creating boundaries that empower you to HEAL Happiness vs. Joy Harnessing freedom within your MINDSET On journey to WHOLENESS Divorce what no longer serves you, on your path towards WELLNESS   Bio: Shelly Gruenig, PhD, is wife to Bob and homeschool mom of three.

Lyme Madness by Author and Psychotherapist Lori Dennis   It has been said that Lyme patients are victimized in three ways. Once by the disease, twice by the doctor and a third time by family and friends who roll their eyes and walk away.   We dive into that reality with Lori Dennis who has an incredibly unique perspective on Lyme. As a professional she has patients who have chronic illnesses. But she also has the perspective of being a Mother to an adult son who has Lyme. As a professional she has seen the chaos, expense and longevity of Lyme disease and Lyme disease complex.    The reality is that in addition to fighting the illness, you are fighting socially, emotionally, and financially.   ~Lyme is a "Do it yourself disease"   ~Lyme feels like: Flu + Anxiety attack=Life with Lyme   ~Lyme causes a variety of mental issues: Insomnia Anxiety Depression   ~Understanding Your Losses: Careers Self Care Independence Relationships Opportunities Finances   ~Healing: A personal journey that requires emotio
