Good for you for working with such an interesting and varied population. I think two of the best things you can do to be of service for MSers is to listen to them and try not to judge--- experiences vary so much among patients and some symptoms can sound completely wacky--- and to figure out ways for them to thrive BEYOND the condition. Many will languish due to loss of hope. Patients need to feel that they have purpose, so help them to find this, Good luck! Jen Hi Michael–

I am studying and working toward certification in EMDR as well as I find it an effective help to those in trauma. Do you have some advise for me as I begin to see these wonderful people with MS. I want to provide a support to them in their journey.

My social worker will even do an over-the-phone session if I'm feeling lousy. All in all, I'm glad I go. I'm actually going again tomorrow, and I will probably complain about our health insurance!
