In this episode, Sally and Seona unpack what introversion and extroversion really mean — and why understanding your social energy becomes even more important when you’re living with a chronic health condition.They explore how chronic illness can change your social battery, why socialising may feel more draining or complicated than it used to, and how this isn’t a personal failing but a nervous system reality. The conversation offers language for guilt, grief, and shifting capacity, and practical ways to pace social connection more kindly.Whether you need more solitude, crave connection but tire quickly, or feel caught between the two, this episode helps you better understand your energy, set gentler boundaries, and honour both who you are and what your body needs.⁠⁠⁠Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MS: Get Your Head Around It!
