Welcome to Be Team Positive: How to Build Support for Someone Coping with Chronic Illness
Join me, Todd Schmenk, for an introduction to this series, from the history behind the "Team Positive program" to what you can come to expect in listening to this series on WellnessTalks. The primary goal of this podcast is in fostering psychological flexibility for all involved, from the person dealing with the chronic illness or medical situation to anyone who finds them-self in a supportive role. Topics will include a deeper look at the guides and framework, what you should expect, what to say and what not to say, how to manage your energy, mental and emotional states, and a whole host of skills and tools all aimed at the primary goal. Dealing with a diagnosis, whether it is a newly diagnosed issue, or an ongoing issue, is no easy task. It is my greatest hope that this approach will give you and your entire Team Positive some reassurance and relief. Here is to building your own Team Positive!
