A new diagnosis of hearing loss or limb loss can feel like an abrupt change, but it’s also the beginning of a new chapter filled with incredible potential. It’s an opportunity to redefine your independence and unlock a more fulfilling life. I understand the silent struggle of hearing loss, the daily effort to decode words, the constant mental gymnastics, and the misunderstandings that slowly wear you down.
The mental & emotional challenges are real, and it’s easy for negative self-talk to creep in. Your diagnosis is just one part of your journey, not its destination.
If you’re navigating the emotional impact of hearing loss or limb loss, and feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, shock, or low self-esteem, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re struggling with self-consciousness, a loss of identity, social withdrawal, or the frustrations that come with communication challenges. These feelings are valid, and your experience matters.
Major change affects more than just the body—it touches every part of your emotional and mental world. Let’s talk about the shifts you’re facing: the new physical limitations, evolving social roles, and how to reshape your life with intention.
Together, we can set new goals, explore uplifting hobbies, create supportive connections, and develop practical strategies for authentic social engagement. I’ll guide you through the emotional process of grief and help you reframe your identity—not by erasing what’s been lost, but by embracing what’s possible.
