Living with chronic illness or disability can take a heavy toll on mental health, leaving many people feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from who they are beyond their diagnosis. In this session, Dr. Caspari draws on both professional expertise and lived experience to share practical, evidence-based strategies from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. From this discussion, participants will learn how to: Respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with greater self-compassion Build emotional resilience while living with chronic stress, pain, or fatigue Reconnect with values, meaning, and present-moment awareness
