Review of MS: Get Your Head Around It!

Engaging, encouraging, essential!

Paul (Melbourne, Australia)

The course was even better than I expected! Having heard, seen and read Dr Sally's work over the years, it was no surprise that this course would be valuable and well communicated. What did surprise me was how I wanted to tell other people about it while watching the videos and answering the questions. I am a fairly quiet and introverted person, but the quality of this course made me want to say to others with MS, 'You NEED to do this course!' - 5 STARS

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Sally Shaw is a Psychologist and PwMS, and will help you get your head around living with Multiple Sclerosis.

Sally Shaw, DPsych

Hi there… I’m Sally. I’m a Psychologist who works with people with MS, I’m a person with MS myself (diagnosed in 2001), and the creator of the course ‘MS: Get Your Head Around It!’.

This course was built because people with MS need more than just google searches and the medication prescribed by doctors when they are first diagnosed with MS. They need coping strategies and help to frame their perspective of what this diagnosis will mean to their lives.

This course doesn’t tell you which diet to go on, or that you should be doing more exercise (although, more exercise isn’t a bad idea to be honest), but it will help you to be strategic in your thinking about MS, so that you can live well with it, no matter what it throws at you.

Really, I just want to help you get your head around MS so you can keep on going, and keep on being you!

No matter what happens, you will be ok. I look forward to working with you, Sally
