The Change Curve

A well-known phenomenon, that was discussed in a recent training course I attended - The Change Curve - is very recognisable to any patient who has been on the roller-coaster that is being diagnosed and then living with a long-term condition. It is also quite reassuring to see all of your emotions laid out - it helps minimise that feeling of not coping, as everyone goes through this process following any change, let alone the change that comes with a long-term condition diagnosis!
