Host Dee Moore is joined by Dr. Roz Cooper, Clinical Psychologist. In this episode, Dr. Roz shares her expertise on managing uncertainty, particularly in the context of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
This episode is part four of our series on uncertainty. We have previously explored uncertainty from various perspectives, including those of clinicians, parents and pregnancy with CKD. Today, we conclude the series by exploring practical strategies for managing uncertainty with Dr. Roz.
Dr. Roz discusses how our brains are wired to problem-solve and why uncertainty can be so challenging. She introduces practical strategies such as grounding techniques, scheduling worry, unhooking from thoughts, and understanding personal values. Additionally, the importance of peer support and accessing resources like the Reading Well Agency and mindfulness apps are highlighted.
If you're dealing with the uncertainty that comes with CKD or any other chronic illness, this episode offers valuable insights and tools to help you navigate these challenges.
Listen in for a wealth of practical advice and encouragement, and remember, you are not alone in this journey. Reach out to your renal team or mental health professionals for personalised support.
