Mental Health and Lipedema: Grief over Loss of Health and Body Image Changes

Hi friends,

Right now, the research on the physical aspects of having lipedema is exploding.  I feel there is still a pretty big gap in supporting patients’ mental health, however. In an earlier post about Body Grief, I gave some feelings you as a lipedema patient might be experiencing and some strategies to cope with your new normal.

Today, in an effort to continue supporting our mental health, I’m sharing an interview I conducted with Dr. Dan Grimes, the CEO of the Heart Menders: Grief Recovery Center about body grief.

Be looking for part 2 of this interview in a month or so.  Feel free to like and subscribe to my YouTube channel to stay up to date on all my videos about lipedema.  I hope this will help just one person.

You can reach Dan at Grief Recovery Center (griefrecoverycenterok.com), or (918)855-1813.
