Host Debbie Leticq talks with psychologist Dr. Sally Shaw about how to manage the uncertainty of living with a condition like NMOSD and how to deal with the unpredictability of relapses and of not knowing what their long-term impact may be.
Dr. Sally Shaw discusses the importance of practicing self-compassion by acknowledging that being diagnosed with NMOSD is a big deal and by allowing yourself to feel all the stages of grief. They talk about the importance of not shying away from those difficult conversations.
Dr. Shaw explains the ways in which building authentic and genuine relationships, the kind of relationships which will see you through your journey with NMOSD, can help you take back control.
