MND Matters Episode 7: Managing emotions
Listen now
Description
Receiving an MND diagnosis can feel devastating and is likely to bring mixed emotions. We know how people respond is very individual, so this episode explains that there is support available to help manage emotions in a way that is tailored to each person. Becky and Nick talk to Cath and Ian Muir who bravely share the emotions they’ve each faced since Cath’s diagnosis in 2014. We’re also joined by Dr Sian Hocking and Dr Emily Mayberry who deliver specialist psychological support to people living with and affected by MND, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which is currently being funded as a research trial by the Association.
