This was an excellent topic Dr.B especially in our community! Thank you for emphasizing the need to have a counselor/therapist.I see mine quite regularly, there is such a big stigma around seeing them! Enjoyed the Pro Tip!
3 years on from my daughters diagnosis, at aged 19, I remain amazed that Counselling wasn’t even mentioned for her, or us as her parents. My daughter won’t go to see anyone, but I went and grieved the loss of my dear daughters health, and talked through the fears I have for her future. It was so tough - but I am so much better for it now. That makes me a better support for her. So Counselling for loved ones is important too. MS affects the whole family 💕
I believe every person would benefit from seeing a counselor. If you have ever had a good counselor, you would agree. If you see a counselor that feels like it’s not a good fit, you just need stop at the counter and ask for a new one.
Important that the therapist is someone you are comfortable with. I didn’t luck out the first two times, but just recently found a good one. I didn’t feel they really cared so the therapy wasn’t effective. Excellent points about grieving and change management.
Thank thank you for posting this. I'm in the process of residency for LPC mental health and professional counseling. MS has become my passion to advocate for, one day integrative medicine will be a reality and counseling will become a part of treatment. My biggest concern is people are given life altering news and more often than not, aren't given the tools to emotionally process this event. I love this so so much. You've wonderfully articulated the benefit and profession of professional counseling! Care for the whole man, mind, body and spirit!! I love this so much, and comparing it to grief is spot on! Resilience has been one of the biggest factors in Cognative health and there's empirical evidence that shows it improving physical health!! Well done!!
Oh my goodness this video had me crying. No one I know gets it like this & I want to show everyone this video. This was absolutely needed - thank you! (diagnosed in 2012)
Wish my husband ( now ex) and I had gotten counseling. He still does not understand my diagnosis or symptoms. Your videos have helped me so much I can’t even explain how much.
Marie, that's where I was. Still fantasize that it could have worked if he would have been willing to go for counseling. I spent a lot of time at the counseling center for family violence, way before I knew my issue was MS. He wouldn't come along. Now mourning loss of function, but, after DMT, diet, supplements and self care and a loving community, feeling better too.
Dr. B, I finally worked up the "courage" to set up an appointment with a therapist. This video was so needed for me. My first session on Friday!! Thank you for always sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!
Dr. Boster, I watch your videos and after every time I wish even more that you were my Neurologist! I have lived in different places and have had a handful of Neurologists. I can think of two that were genuinely concerned about me-Dr. Ruth Fredericks in Jackson, MS and another one who was at The University of South Alabama that I cannot remember his name. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the fact that you have used your personal time to help educate me, a stranger, AND that you have been doing this for years! (I found some vintage videos). Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may God bless you tremendously for your compassion and willingness to help!
I’ve been thinking about seeing a therapist for awhile, but have been nervous about the whole thing. This video was very encouraging. Thank you for talking about these subjects, even if they might be tough, Dr B!
I live in NE South Dakota. I've been unable to find any MS support groups and have come to the realization it is time to find a counselor. Thank you Dr. B...
Thank you for posting this topic Dr. B. I would like recommend to this community, to also speak to a trained psyc outside of your church or synagogue. Sometimes, as the person looking for guidance, you may get caught up in representing your faith in front of this person at church or synagogue. MS, at times, feels like a theif you HAVE to live with. When dealing with how to reconcile your faith and the path your on that wasn't your choice, you should be able to show all your emotions to this counselor without the thought of, "am I representing my faith correctly? Am I expressing myself as they recommend or expect during service?" Remember this illness is affecting You. Don't sucumb to the expectations in your mind of your faith. Talk to someone else not in that circle, but if it makes sense to continue reaching out to your church or synagogue or wherever it is that you practice your faith, then do so. I wish you all better days and improved health. 🤗
Thank you much for explaining the details. I'm thinking of looking for not only for MS but also grief over losing my Sig other 2017 and having to move. Plus many other issues Thank you for making my decision easier.
Thank you Dr. B. I remember one of the worst experiences for me, was my change in attitude towards my husband. My temper became too short and I lost my ability to reason with well thought out thoughts. I didn't realize my body was being injured and my mind was running on a compromised capacity. I try my best to listen to my husband, and still have times I fall short. But his patience and love for me have helped me cope with being a different wife. I will seek help to continue to improve myself and my marriage. I have nothing to lose and so much to gain.
Hello and thank you so much for putting this video up. I have MS and at the beginning really struggled with coming to terms with it whilst balancing everything else in my life. I went to some very dark places. I sought professional help and went to many therapy sessions. This helped immensely but I felt like a 'fraud', a 'drama queen' and guilty. Watching/listening to your video has helped slot everything into place. In a few short minutes, I have felt like my needs have been validated and it's helped me to review the help I was given. Looking back, it's obvious how much the therapy helped! MS or no MS, therapy really helps! Big thank you again Aaron, for this and all your awesome videos 😘 Txxx
Yup...I’m seeing a couples counselor and she’s fantastic. My hubby is an excellent support group..no complaints there but my adult children still have their heads in the sand. She explains how they perceive my illness and she also acknowledges my concerns about the things I can’t do anymore. The sad thing is, I had a friend of 25 years and she’s known all these years I have MS. Recently, she sent me a nasty email saying I make “excuses” for not doing things. I came to realize that SHE was disappointed that I chose NOT to move to South Carolina because well....it’s humid! Why would I do,that?! This was her agenda because she had family there and wanted me to be there since she and her family are at odds. I would be her buffer. The point is, I’ve learned that if a friend or family member can’t accept me as is, then I return THEM to the world. Free shipping back to their denial land.
Thanks, Doc it's great advice, & I truly believe in counseling, even though our very first family councilor we were seeing or rather my children were seeing to cope with the death of their Grandmother, told my husband to leave me, yes that's true, she advised my husband of 9 yrs at the time, to leave me, she told him that he would be better off & so would my young children. Well, I immediately stopped their treatment with her, informed the school of her advice & she was fired. Turns out, she was was very wrong in a lot her ways with others as well. Even though after 37yeas of marriage we still need counseling, life changes & so does the MS, as we get older & the kids are grown with families of their own. MS is a hard disease to live with & no matter what stage we're in we all can benefit from talking to someone else. Thanks again for being such an amazing, caring doctor, I know a lot who could learn from you. God Bless 😊💜🧡
Hell to the ya👏🏼 That was a fantastic video Dr B. I’ve been struggling with feeling like my counselor and I should click much more. I so needed to hear that pro tip! Thank you🙏🏼
I am glad that you have addressed with this Doc B. I had no problems accepting the practicalities of MS and how it affected me, accepting it emotionally was a whole different ball game. I had had MS for 10 years before I realized that I hadn't and I was in counselling for 3 years and I am now now in a much better place because of it. From personal experience it is something that I think all MSers need to try to do so that they can live and not exist, getting on with their lives and accepting whatever the MS throws their way, however frustrating it may be.
I start this month! The social worker from my palliative care dr is actually going to come to my house for counseling and I’m gonna work on cognitive therapy and other areas! I’m excited. Never had a resource like this before. Going to take advance of it for sure. Self care!!
My therapist helps me remember that I am not crazy when my symptoms flare up. They can make you think you have lost your mind at times and he helps me find ways of acknowledging their reality without admitting defeat. He's saved me
This was a super helpful topic Dr.B! It was particularly interesting to hear your thoughts on change management... I love this mindset approach! Thanks for sharing another great video 😁
You are awesome! Thank you so much for hitting really important topics that always feel on point to me. MS issues are tough and I am so sad to be moving out of state. Could you do a video about tips for finding a new MS provider and other medical professionals?
Seeking counseling uncovers and empowers the inner strengths you didn’t know you always had. And serves to ignite positive coping skills into one’s management plan.
Now that I am in palliative care, they supply me with access to a counselor. And it has been a blessing to have someone I can vent to about not being able to do what I use to or dealing with a relative that doesn't think anything is wrong because they can't see it unless I am using my cane or Walker and they are still in denial. I was a very private person so it was difficult at first telling a stranger my personal feelings. But I have a good counselor and she has gotten me through it. So for those that are like me and private just give it a try give it time and you will be glad you did.
Just had my first appointment with a therapist that specializes in patients with chronic diseases today! Very insightful and I'm optimistic about the future!
I'm very happy with this video. One of the things I decided to do after my diagnosis and during the time I was recovering from the symptoms of the relapse was to see a psychotherapist. I still go every week. Even though ms has not limited my life, my first relapse was pretty bad. I decided to make exercise regularly and to follow the "run for 4" + 1 - to see a psychotherapist to help with unprocessed emotions. I think the whole combination was the key of the relapse recovery and hopefully for the prevention of future relapses :)
I think that is great advice. I was a office manager at a Psychology Office for 17 years, until I had to stop working a year ago because of too many issues with my MS. Luckily, my bosses (Both Psychologists)were very understanding and I have a close relationship with them even today. So, although I don't see my own personal counselor I still talk with them about issues I am having on a regular basis.
Its is so helpful to me for me to see a therapist. My life gets crazy at times and I need an ear to listen to me. My life has akwaysgiven me a crazy ride. The stress if my life and the stress of dealing with this disease is a whole lot.
I’ve always heard about the importance of grieving but how do you know if you’ve grieved? I was diagnosed with rrms when i was 15, now 40. I went about my life as i would have if i didn’t have ms because i didn’t know when it would stop me so i did university and got married had my son and then it started to go downhill. Im on disability now and have trouble walking. People ask me if I’ve grieved the loss of the life i had planed for myself...i don’t know
The most beneficial therapy for me to date has been EMDR (eye movement desensitizing therapy) which still involved talking to someone, but it allowed me to process trauma I received throughout my childhood and second marriage.
Dr. B, your service to the international MS community is invaluable! Allow me to insist on the need to take advantage of all your knowledge and compassion. Have you seen Biogen's MS app available in Europe? Could it be possible to create something similar for the Americas? A simple tool that contains all the insights you've already shared with us up until now. There must be someone knowledgable who might want to support this community to create it... Just a thought or a wild dream perhaps... Thanks for listening...
I agree and have been slacking talking to a professional listener so at least someone will in my newfound lonesome and have see ones labeled to specialize in listening to those with MS. Have you? Your presentation as you've continued to expand your ability to inform the infallible using multimedia gets an A+ , Doc. Very on par, bullseye, no doubt touché. I'm fortunate to have been divorced prior to Dx but understand the intolerability that has come with the MonSter, so see and hear myself incorrectly snapping and causing difficulty just in my contact with friends and family. Thank you! 🏌️♂️🎯🤺 Good stuff right there...🧠
I agree with you completely. I am a lay counselor and I need a counselor as well. I think I am hallucinating I thought I saw sunglasses moving around in your living room 😊
No Elain you are not hallucinating.I saw the glasses too! And various artworks of Dr. Boster's family. I think the hidden message here is family is important. As Dr Boster explains, this is why I see a psychologist-there is only so much family can help with. This is why it is also important that family members have their own trained listeners.
I have been taking care of my disabled sister, (now 65) for the past 19 years. I have taken her to counseling, different ones, they said she needed to see a Psychiatrists. Her neurologist said she needed to see a Psychiatrists. She says she doesn't have a problem we do. We have an appointment next month. Wish me luck. We currently have a caseworker. My sister refuses to accept she is disabled even though she can barely walk, and everything else associated with MS.
I saw a counselor to help process my diagnosis.. I had a very hard time processing and getting past it. I feel though, like everyone can benefit from this, and I should probably just go continuously.
Thank you for a good video ❤️. I have ASD and when i turned 14 i got higher anxiety, selfharm, depression got meds but not really help now two years ago i got MS and i could really need help but the phyactri seems to think im gonna figuere it out my self😢 but i dont have the tools or family 😢/Sara
Dr. Boster what can one do when a therapist says that your letting your situation control you when there is absolutely nothing that you can do to change the situation? The best example in my life would be the SSA deeming that I have improved and are terminating my benefits which include medical coverage which means no more treatments for my ms, physical health or mental health.
2:15 It's OK, Doctor B, lol! We all understand if you take a day with the park, or even the chickens! You probably have to plan ahead to have no appointments or have a substitute. Don't work too hard, Boss!
Thanks Dr B. I was raised in a family where we don't talk to outsider about our feelings. We either delt with in the family or worked it out ourselves. That is why it would be hard for me personally to talk to a counselor. But I still liked your tips.
This was an excellent topic Dr.B especially in our community! Thank you for emphasizing the need to have a counselor/therapist.I see mine quite regularly, there is such a big stigma around seeing them! Enjoyed the Pro Tip!
Thank you AJ's HR! I appreciate your feedback! I agree that having a counselor in the village makes a world of benefit! #WeHaveMS
I appreciate him doing this video especially since he recently mentioned how many pts. have depression.
3 years on from my daughters diagnosis, at aged 19, I remain amazed that Counselling wasn’t even mentioned for her, or us as her parents. My daughter won’t go to see anyone, but I went and grieved the loss of my dear daughters health, and talked through the fears I have for her future.

I totally agree Scotty! #WeHaveMS
Aloha Doc B! Thanks for once again delving in deeper to a topic that is usually recommended but not explained.
You’re welcome!
Important that the therapist is someone you are comfortable with. I didn’t luck out the first two times, but just recently found a good one. I didn’t feel they really cared so the therapy wasn’t effective. Excellent points about grieving and change management.
TY for the feedback and for reinforcing the importance of a "good fit!" #WeHaveMS
Possibly the best advice ever, they are invaluable in learning how to cope with the impact of this hideous condition.

This MS-vlog are by far the most helpfull ever to exist on TH-cam. Thank you, Dr.Boster. (Had RRMS for 11 yrs).
Thank you again for all the kindness you share.

Spot on!! still working full time with a family and have MS but suffer huge guilt taking "me" time
I'm in the same boat! Especially if my wife is having a rough time too.

Very good advice here 👍
Thank you, you always give wonderful advice
Great topic! And I could not agree more.
The most beneficial therapy for me to date has been EMDR (eye movement desensitizing therapy) which still involved talking to someone, but it allowed me to process trauma I received throughout my childhood and second marriage.
Dr. B, your service to the international MS community is invaluable! Allow me to insist on the need to take advantage of all your knowledge and compassion. Have you seen Biogen's MS app available in Europe? Could it be possible to create something similar for the Americas? A simple tool that contains all the insights you've already shared with us up until now. There must be someone knowledgable who might want to support this community to create it... Just a thought or a wild dream perhaps... Thanks for listening...
Another great one, Dr. B. See my comment to Marie. Happy Shavuot from Jerusalem.
Thanks Dr.B 👍❤
Hi, dr Boster! Thank you!🙂
High Five!
I agree and have been slacking talking to a professional listener so at least someone will in my newfound lonesome and have see ones labeled to specialize in listening to those with MS. Have you? Your presentation as you've continued to expand your ability to inform the infallible using multimedia gets an A+ , Doc. Very on par, bullseye, no doubt touché. I'm fortunate to have been divorced prior to Dx but understand the intolerability that has come with the MonSter, so see and hear myself incorrectly snapping and causing difficulty just in my contact with friends and family. Thank you!

Good stuff right there...🧠
Thank you so much for this video 💯🤘
Sharing ❤️ I always encourage counseling.
I agree with you completely. I am a lay counselor and I need a counselor as well. I think I am hallucinating I thought I saw sunglasses moving around in your living room 😊
No Elain you are not hallucinating.I saw the glasses too! And various artworks of Dr. Boster's family. I think the hidden message here is family is important. As Dr Boster explains, this is why I see a psychologist-there is only so much family can help with. This is why it is also important that family members have their own trained listeners.
I have been taking care of my disabled sister, (now 65) for the past 19 years. I have taken her to counseling, different ones, they said she needed to see a Psychiatrists.

My sister refuses to accept she is disabled even though she can barely walk, and everything else associated with MS.
Good sales speech

Hi dr Boster after recovery after an experimental MS ME treatment that i had shingles and lake antiepileptics
Dr. Boster what can one do when a therapist says that your letting your situation control you when there is absolutely nothing that you can do to change the situation? The best example in my life would be the SSA deeming that I have improved and are terminating my benefits which include medical coverage which means no more treatments for my ms, physical health or mental health.
lol You "Nowwed" the thumbnail for a change! xD

2:15 It's OK, Doctor B, lol! We all understand if you take a day with the park, or even the chickens! You probably have to plan ahead to have no appointments or have a substitute. Don't work too hard, Boss!
PS - you don't even have to vlog it. ;)

I see This is a valuable advice, but How and where do.i find and pay for a counselor?
I was given urget referral to see therapist and ive been avoiding it.
👍
Thanks Dr B. I was raised in a family where we don't talk to outsider about our feelings. We either delt with in the family or worked it out ourselves. That is why it would be hard for me personally to talk to a counselor. But I still liked your tips.
