 If you’ve ever felt like your body is betraying you...If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are “all in your head”…If you’ve ever left a doctor's office feeling unseen, misunderstood, or blamed for your pain…You are not alone.And you are not broken.In today’s conversation, I sat down with Dr. Veronique Mead — former physician, somatic trauma educator, and creator of the Chronic Illness Trauma Studies — to dive into one of the most important, yet often overlooked, root causes of chronic illness: unresolved trauma."Chronic illness isn’t random. It’s a natural, biological response to overwhelming experiences the body couldn't fully process." — Dr. Veronique MeadWhat if your body's symptoms weren’t failures — but instead, deeply intelligent responses?What if your migraines, your fatigue, your autoimmunity weren't defects, but survival strategies?This changes everything.Trauma and Chronic Illness: A Missing LinkDr. Mead shared how, for decades, the medical system taught her to focus only on surface symptoms — prescribing medications and managing diseases. But through her own journey of chronic illness, she discovered something traditional medicine often misses: the profound role of the nervous system.When we experience trauma — whether a single overwhelming event or ongoing childhood adversity — it can rewire our biology.* Our nervous systems become hyper-vigilant.* Our immune systems become dysregulated.* Our bodies stay stuck in survival mode long after the original threat is gone."Trauma is not the event itself. It's what happens inside our bodies as a result of the event." — Dr. Veronique MeadThis means chronic illnesses — from fibromyalgia, to chronic fatigue, to autoimmune conditions — aren’t “random bad luck” or “genetic defects.”They are adaptations.And just as they were shaped, they can begin to heal.Your Body Is Trying to Protect You — Not Punish YouOne of the most healing shifts we talked about is this:Symptoms are not your enemy. Symptoms are your body’s language of protection.When a nervous system has been overwhelmed for too long, it may shut down parts of itself to survive.* It may slow digestion.* It may trigger inflammation.* It may create fatigue to force you to stop.* It may express emotional pain through physical symptoms.It’s not weakness.It’s wisdom.Your body isn’t punishing you — it’s trying to protect you in the only way it knows how.This understanding doesn’t erase the real suffering of chronic illness.But it transforms the way we relate to our bodies:From war... to partnership.From judgment... to compassion.If You’ve Ever Felt Dismissed by Doctors...You are not crazy.You are not imagining it.And you deserve a different kind of care — one that sees the full truth of your story.In this episode, Dr. Mead offers hope for those of us who have felt isolated in our healing journeys.* Hope that our bodies can change, even after decades of illness.* Hope that understanding trauma can empower better health.* Hope that healing is possible — when we address not just the symptoms, but the roots.Because when we heal the trauma underneath, the body can finally begin to come out of survival mode... and into safety, connection, and vitality.Resources We Mentioned* 🖐️ Download Dr. Veronique Mead’s free Trauma and Chronic Illness Fact Sheets:Visit chronicillnesstraumastudies.com* 📚 Read The Deepest Well by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, a groundbreaking book on childhood trauma and lifelong health:Find it hereIf You’re Ready to Begin Your Healing JourneyIf you recognize yourself in this — if you’re tired of being dismissed, tired of fighting your own body, and ready to finally heal the root cause — I would be honored to walk alongside you.Healing isn’t about "fixing" yourself.It’s about coming home to yourself.You don’t have to do it alone.You can begin today.I am readyWith so much love and hope,Stacey Uhrig This is a public episode.
