Living with a communication difficulty can shape a
person’s feelings and emotions in many different ways. Sudden
changes at home, at work, in social relationships and with friends
and family often have a huge impact on an individual and their
family.
People
have reported feeling:
•
'like my world has been turned upside down'
• 'out of my depth'
• 'overwhelmed'
• 'uncertain about my future'
As a result people can experience
a range of strong emotions including:
•
fear
• anger
• depression
• despair
How
people cope with these changes varies from person to person and
family to family. For some it is helpful to have a safe space to
talk about how they are feeling and to explore their emotions, either
on their own or with their family and friends.
