Transformative Chronic Illness Therapy: Reclaim Power and Peace in Your Relationships
I’m here to guide you through a deeply healing journey if you’re struggling with the emotional and physical suffering of chronic illness. You might feel helpless, victimized, or powerless in your relationships, maybe always people-pleasing or living at the mercy of others’ emotions. I get it—these patterns can feel like they’re draining your energy and keeping you stuck. My chronic illness therapy practice is all about helping you uncover the roots of these struggles, often tied to childhood experiences, and empowering you to find balance, release control, and reclaim your inner peace.
A Trauma-Informed Path to Healing
The psychology of chronic illness often stems from early experiences, like growing up tiptoeing around a parent’s anger or emotional outbursts. That fear of being attacked or not being enough can carry into adulthood, showing up as controlling others, frequent anger, or putting people on a pedestal while feeling powerless yourself. I’ve seen how these dynamics—rooted in childhood—can weigh heavily on your health and relationships. In our work, we’ll gently explore those roots, using trauma-informed therapy to shine a light on how they’re affecting you today.
We’ll focus on healing the power struggles in your relationships, both past and present. This means learning to balance power—neither controlling nor surrendering to others—and letting go of the fear that you’re under attack. My approach is holistic and intuitive, tailored to your unique story, helping you release the need to please or depend on others for validation. Together, we’ll rebuild your sense of autonomy, so you can feel grounded and in charge of your own life.
Releasing Control and Finding Freedom
Healing chronic illness isn’t just about your body; it’s about transforming how you show up in relationships. We’ll work on letting go of control, whether it’s trying to manage others’ emotions or holding onto old fears from childhood. I’ll guide you to honour your own needs, set healthy boundaries, and release the patterns that keep you feeling powerless. This process is deeply compassionate, creating a safe space where you can feel seen and supported as you move toward wholeness.
If you’re ready to break free from these cycles and heal the emotional roots of chronic illness, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s work together to restore balance, empower your voice, and help you live with greater peace and strength. Book a consultation with me today, and let’s start this transformative journey.

Chronic Pain
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than your physical health. It can influence your emotions, relationships, sense of safety, and ability to participate in the life you want.
You may find yourself anticipating pain, worrying about your body, or avoiding activities because of fear of making things worse. Over time, life can become smaller as pain, fear, frustration, grief, and uncertainty begin to shape your choices.
EMDR therapy can be a valuable part of this work, particularly when pain or illness is connected with trauma, distressing medical experiences, injury, or heightened fear and emotional responses. As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I can help you process these experiences and reduce the distress associated with them. EMDR does not eliminate physical pain or suggest that pain is “all in your head”—the focus is on changing your relationship with the experiences and responses surrounding it.
Together, we’ll also draw on ACT and mindfulness-based approaches to develop greater flexibility and self-compassion, reduce avoidance, and make room for the people, activities, and experiences that matter to you.
You may not be able to choose what your body is experiencing, but you can develop greater freedom in how you respond—and create more space for a meaningful life alongside it.
