248. How to Process Chronic Illness Grief (When Talk Therapy Isn't Working)

In this episode, I’m joined by Ashley Milas, a trauma-informed somatic grief and life transition coach who specializes in helping people process chronic illness grief—especially when traditional talk therapy just isn’t working. 

We dive deep into why grief is often overlooked when living with multiple sclerosis (MS), how somatic work can support your healing, and practical ways to process emotions through your body and nervous system. 

Ashley shares her 13+ year journey with chronic illness, offering insights and compassionate strategies to help you reconnect with yourself and find acceptance, even in the face of MS-related loss and change. 

Tune in for an uplifting conversation packed with actionable tips, tools, and resources to help you manage MS symptoms, navigate emotional challenges, and improve your quality of life with MS.
