Episode 48: Scoliosis and The Mind-Body Connection With Katelyn Carlson

 
 

How does scoliosis affect your mental and emotional health?

It’s something that’s often overlooked, but it’s part of living with scoliosis. 

This episode features an interview with scoliosis counselor Katelyn Carlson. Katelyn helps scoliosis patients and their parents navigate the emotional aspects of scoliosis and overcome the trauma that often accompanies a diagnosis.

Katelyn and I discussed scoliosis from several angles:

  • How a diagnosis affects children and teens

  • How parents respond to a scoliosis diagnosis

  • The negative effects of fear-based messaging

  • How parents can support their teens 

  • Shifting the perspective on scoliosis from resistance to curiosity
