If we are clear on what psychologisation is, we can recognise it, argue coherently and also question to see if others understand it

Invisible Illness by Emily Mendenhall could have been a holy grail for the community: a person with epistemic authority, a strong social ethic, inspired to write from a personal and relational experience of Long Covid.

Exulansis is defined as the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it.

It is this communality of the book that elevates it, from practical tips to the message that one is not alone in the struggle.

The divergent social perceptions that The Salt Path offered - Saint or Sinner - was never a fair binary for people with illness or, from what it seems, rooted in reality.
