Beyond the Physical Pain: Mental Health & Endometriosis

Overview

Explore medical trauma, gaslighting, mental health, and practical tools for building stability while living with endometriosis.

Endometriosis affects far more than the body. The long road to diagnosis, medical gaslighting, chronic pain, and uncertainty can have a significant impact on a patient’s emotional and mental health.
