Coming to terms with a new future

Dr Joanne Ablett gives helpful advice for families on ways of coming to terms with a new future following an amyloidosis diagnosis. She suggests not being too rigid about your usual routines. Rather than giving up on things that feel you can’t do anymore, be flexible in your approach and look for more manageable options. Take the time to think things through carefully together weighing pros and cons. Remember that you can also ask for support from friends, family and professionals to help you get through.

 

Dr Joanne Ablett is a clinical psychologist with experience in chronic conditions. Her videos here focus on mindfulness and mental health, as well as how to tackle some of the tougher to answer questions a diagnosis of hATTR may raise.
