ENDO CIRCLE - 'Self-Advocacy: How to talk to your doctor without being gaslit' at Crosstalk Records, Leichardt

It can be hard to find your voice after years of being silenced by chronic illness and fighting through the medical system. Unfortunately, for the sake of our wellbeing and many other sometimes life or death things - we MUST speak up in order to receive the care and treatments we need and deserve.

Often when we speak up, we are branded as hysterical and are called 'Karens' by those who stand to profit from our ignorance and complacency.

No more.

In this second session of the Endo Circle at Crosstalk Records we will learn tips and tricks from self-advocacy experts and bring clarity so that we can speak with an assertive and clear voice about our own health experiences and history.

Information is collated from the accompanying Self-Advocacy: How to Talk to Your Doctor Without Being Gaslit webinar in the Invisible Iconic Endo Webinar Series featuring Katie Boyce, Board Certified Patient Advocate, Founder of Endo Girls Blog and other trustworthy sources.
