Counselling
Counselling can help you with the emotional load of living with a complex condition like fibromyalgia. Having an invisible long-term illness can have a profound effect on the way you think and feel. It can leave you feeling misunderstood by family, friends and even medics; you may have lost confidence or struggle to find a purpose or you might feel unable to cope with the changing circumstances. Counselling may help make sense of these feelings and give you coping strategies to manage what comes your way.
Counselling can help with:
- Understanding the stages of loss
- Stress management
- Sleep hygiene
- Breaking the pain cycle
- Primary pain and secondary pain
- Goal setting
- Communication & relationships
