Today, I have an excerpt from an interview with Dr. Joanna Dudek from our Lipedema & Keto Worldwide Summit held in 2017.
Dr. Dudek is a psychologist and nutritionist who specializes in contextual behavioral therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP).
She conducted research on psychological aspects of living with lipedema as a PhD student at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, Poland where she is now an instructor.
Joanna also serves on the Medical Advisory Board for the Lipedema Project.
In this excerpt, Dr. Dudek talks about psychological flexibility and how this practice allows women with lipedema to have a meaningful life despite having a chronic illness.
She describes some small actions women can take to increase their self-caring and self-compassion.
