[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 555040, member: 32108"] I'm very interested in the issue you have raised. I was under the impression that every diabetes team had to have the ability to offer psychotherapy? Surely, it must be part of every DSN's basic training? After all, there are many instances of people with diabetes who need psychological support, whether at diagnosis or at any other critical time in their lives. Those in denial, or who have phobias or fears about caring for themselves, or those who can't manage their diabetes on a daily basis for whatever reason ... Who [I]does [/I]do this work of helping these people? I'm not sure whether you are referring to a form of counselling that doesn't already exist? In practice, I've never seen any sign of it, been offered it, wanted it, or thought there was any need for it. But now I think otherwise. However, counselling would be a really bad idea unless it was done well. [/QUOTE]
