Do you have a physical diagnosis that has placed a strain on your life?
Do you feel disconnected from your life (family, friends, recreation)?
Is your love one suffering from a chronic illness which is limiting their quality of life?
Are you a caregiver (relative or health care professional) who is experiencing caregiver burnout?
If you can identify with any of these, therapy can assist with dealing with the acceptance as well as understanding your chronic illness. Chronic illness counseling can be geared towards learning to manage or compensate for the illness or loss. It also can assist with developing an effective support system to cope with illness limitations. Chronic illness counseling can be beneficial with family members or caregivers in understanding the nature and demands of the illness while providing support for stress management.
