What are the most difficult psychological obstacles for families to overcome after spinal cord injury? - Toby Huston, PhD

Lots of times the biggest challenge for a family member is how to know how best to help. What does this person need from me at any given time? Do they need me to be sad with them? Do they need me to push them? Do they need me to be the cheerleader when they’re down? Do they need me to join in that experience? So I think for families, it’s often times not knowing how to be there for the person.
