I was thinking today about how therapy has helped me and I'd like to hear how therapy has helped you. 
I used to be very phobic about changing my medical equipment, such as my tracheostomy and g-tube, to the point where I freaked out every time a trache change was done. I thought if it went wrong that I wouldnt be able to breathe and that fear overwhelmed me for many years. My therapist though, when i was 14, helped me to overcome this phobia as well as encouraged me to change my g tube.
This has helped immensely with my independence medical wize.
