Princess Syndrome/Harley Therapy
A depressing aspect of the role of psychology in ME/CFS is that as profession psychology and associated disciplines have a high percentage of female practitioners yet this doesn't translate into positive support for patients in a disease in which women are notably affected.
The negative presentation of patients isn't limited to ME/CFS - I thought this was very revealing of the animus that seems to exist amongst some female psychologists toward all females as a subjects of psychological analysis, albeit in this case, unasked for and ethics breaking analyis:
The quoted psych (Jacobson) is Sheri Heather Jacobson founder of Harley Therapy company details = HARLEY THERAPY LIMITED
Inevitably Harley Therapy offers counselling for ME/CFS: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Counselling
"How can counselling help with chronic fatigue syndrome?
From work and money, to relationships and family, chronic fatigue syndrome can affect all areas of your life. The feelings of distress, anger, fear, frustration, and powerlessness this can bring can trigger or worsen physical symptoms, leading to a vicious cycle of misery and ill health.
Counselling and psychotherapy breaks this cycle by tackling such complex and powerful emotions head on, and giving you effective coping strategies to change the ways you think, feel and behave. This can mean a greater sense of control over your condition and over flareups and relapses. Your therapist can also help you to remain on track with goals like lifestyle changes, and teach you relaxation techniques to cope better with pain and discomfort.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help those with ME/CFS manage their symptoms, improve their daily coping, and navigate the psychological and emotional problems that come hand-in-hand."
Do we think they may diagnose ME/CFS princesses who seek out illnesses from a need to be victimised and rescued ?
