Hopes for this Website
This website addresses some of the important psychological issues in diabetes that I have seen in working with people with diabetes for more than 25 years. I want to reach out and share some of my knowledge with you, whether you live in a big city that has a lot of resoures, or whether you life on a farm and are isolated from others with diabetes.
Second, I want to explain what psychotherapy is. People have some unique (and sometimes downright odd!) ideas about what psychotherapy is and does. I'd like to clean up some misconceptions, and provide some good education. I also want to address depression, since there seems to be a connection between diabetes, depression and poor blood sugar control.
The site is just a beginning. Please check back from time to time to see what has been added.
I hope this will provide a psychological space for you–
To reflect
To learn
To play with ideas
To try out seeing things in new ways
To help you see you're not alone
I want to give you opportunities to learn about
depression
anxiety
the importance of support
the importance of communication with loved ones and co-workers
the influence of stress
I want to help you argue with the "demons" that say
"it's not worth trying"
"you'll never change"
I'd like feedback on the website
