Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Myalgic Encephalitis
Fibromyalgia
These are real physiological diseases. They are not in your head and psychology isn't going to cure them.
But, psychological help could make living with these diseases easier and your life more satisfying.
In searching the internet, so many unconstructive perspectives were displayed.
Like, "Surviving CFS or Fibromyalgia." Viewing one's self as a victim is not the path to greater life satisfaction.
Or, "Fighting CFS or FM." The only one likely to be injured in the 'war' is you.
The key is adapting. This does not mean surrender. It means engaging in only those 'battles' you can win, namely the struggle to accept and adjust yourself and your environs to the limitations, no matter how severe, caused by your disease.
And for many, the struggle to accept the limitations, to accept and love your newly limited Self is a battle. A battle that sometimes leads to other psychological difficulties, particularly mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and unremitting anger.
It is in this area of your life, accepting and adjusting to the changes wrought by disease that Dr. Haley's expertise as a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist and her personal and professional experience, including her creation of SFT SELF-Focused Therapy with its focus on learning to love and respect your Self, makes her ideally qualified to help you.
