Registered clinical counsellor or psychologist with IBD?
Hi there,
Is anyone in this group a registered clinical counsellor or a psychologist AND a crohns patient? I've always wanted to enter this field in private practice but my crohns is holding me back. Things im fearful of:
passing gas from my ostomy in session
extended leave without pay bc of crohns
loss of clients due to leave for crohns
my own mental health being low when my crohns is bad
Have you experienced these? Are they genuine incompatibilities between our illness and this field? Is it reasonable to not pursue for these reasons?
