What Disease Takes Away: The Dimensions of Life Changes in the Midst of Serious Illness

Dr. John Mulder and Dr. Jason Beckrow Season 3 Episode 3

When someone is given a life-altering diagnosis, change is inevitable. Disease can take away so much from a person: their identity, their power, their abilities. In this episode, Dr. John Mulder and Dr. Jason Beckrow discuss how they help patients regain some of their power and agency, with Dr. Mulder touching on his own experiences from when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and the effect the journey had on him.
