Living with POTS is both a physical and emotional challenge, often marked by silent struggles with grief, anxiety, fear, and the frustration of being misunderstood. At The Steady Path, emotional wellness is treated as a vital part of healing, with Wendy Ames providing a safe, compassionate space to process the mental and emotional weight of chronic illness. Offered virtually and in person, her sessions blend lived experience, coaching, and advocacy to help you regulate your nervous system, cope with overwhelm, and rebuild confidence. This is where emotional care and practical guidance come together to help you feel seen, grounded, and strong again.
We explore the signs of depression and how different types of depression—including clinical depression and situational forms of depression—can show up alongside chronic illness. You'll learn how to recognize depression symptoms, understand what causes depression, and find ways to move through it with self-compassion.
We'll work through what anxiety symptoms look like in your life, how to distinguish anxiety vs depression, and what causes anxiety in the context of POTS. Whether you're managing an anxiety disorder or navigating daily anxieties, you'll get grounded, practical support.
Chronic illness often brings a kind of grief that's hard to name—the loss of energy, independence, and predictability. We'll hold space for this emotional layer, honoring both visible and invisible losses. As grief overlaps with depression and anxiety, these sessions help you process gently without judgment.
When you're constantly managing symptoms, appointments, and expectations, burnout can sneak in and take over. You may feel depleted, disconnected, and unsure how to refill your emotional reserves. We'll work to recognize burnout early, reset your rhythms, and rebuild a more sustainable way of moving through life.
You deserve to feel seen, not dismissed. Many clients struggle to explain how they’re feeling to doctors, friends, or even themselves. Through The Steady Path’s gentle coaching, you’ll build advocacy tools that help you express your needs clearly, set boundaries that protect your energy, and feel more empowered in both medical and personal relationships. Whether you’re navigating postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome treatments, asking for help, or confronting the emotional impact of being misunderstood, this work supports your confidence and clarity. Emotional self-advocacy is just as powerful as physical self-care—and both deserve your attention.
