Living with an Ostomy

Finding ways to adjust to the reality of living life with an ostomy is a full-time job for a while. Ostomy care requires a new awareness of one's bodily functions and sensations. For some, the psychological and physical adjustment comes easily, simply because they feel lucky to have survived their illness and are glad to be enjoying good health. For others, the adjustment takes a long time and they struggle to feel like themselves again. They can have trouble accepting the way they look and can be worried about how others will react.

I work with people who are experiencing the frustrations of living life with an ostomy. If you or someone you love feels discouraged dealing with issues associated with ostomy care, you may want to consider booking some counselling sessions. The gains achieved in these sessions can diminish distress and create new possibilities for enjoying life.
