CFS & FM Support Groups

[Guest guest]

Many CFS and FM patients find support groups to be a beneficial

experience. But it is important to find the right kind of support for

you. Generally speaking, a successful support group is created when

there is a mutual agreement to keep the issues on a positive

constructive focus, optimizing participants' strengths. Holding this

as a common goal makes it possible to unlearn obsessive negative

thinking. In turn, this allows healing positive experiences to unfold.

This doesn't mean that difficulties cannot be addressed; it just means

that the emphasis should be toward seeking the highest and best

resolution of problems.
