Many of my newly diagnosed diabetic patients have recently gone through some sort of emotional trauma, such as the loss of a loved one, car accident, divorce or some other traumatic event (now have flat affect, apathy, even suicidal tendencies). This phenomenon is also well documented. Indeed, we all experience a certain degree of loss in life. Some recover .... others do not.
Have just read "Invisible Heroes" ... Survivors of Trauma and How they Heal by Belleruth Naparstek.
What a
wonderful wonderful wonderful book. Certainly opened my eyes to possibilities.
She also has a variety of audio programs.
