On this episode of the Chronically Well Podcast, I interview Jolene Jensen.  Jolene is a marriage and family therapist, and also has Interstitial Cystitis.  We discuss the impact of illness on mental health and her experince as a suicide hotline therapist – as well as how she has allowed the same words she spoke, speak to her as she found herself on the other side, wondering if her life was worth living in pain.
