Support for People with Bleeding Disorders

Living with bleeding disorders such as Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, Von Willebrand’s disease, thrombosis, clotting disorders, or other chronic bleeding problems involves much more than managing physical symptoms. It involves navigating an intricate tapestry of emotions, experiences, and concerns, many of which are unique to individuals dealing with such chronic conditions.

At The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of Puget Sound, we understand these unique challenges and are committed to helping you not just manage, but also thrive despite them.

  • Empowerment Through Understanding

    The unpredictability of bleeding episodes can be disorienting and stressful. CBT helps you gain control by understanding the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling you to better manage your responses to challenges.

  • Coping with Anxiety

    The constant potential of a bleeding episode can cause considerable anxiety. Our therapy provides strategies to manage these fears, enabling a more relaxed and worry-free life.

  • Managing Isolation and Depression

    Living with a bleeding disorder can sometimes feel isolating and be misunderstood by others, leading to feelings of depression. Through therapy, we help you navigate these feelings and manage depressive symptoms.

  • Improving Sleep

    Chronic conditions can disrupt your sleep. We can help you develop strategies to improve sleep quality, enhancing overall well-being.

  • Stress and Pain Management

    We offer techniques to better manage stress and cope with physical pain, improving day-to-day living.

    Whether it's relationships with family, friends, or partners, we can provide strategies to help improve communication and understanding about your condition, fostering stronger and healthier relationships.

  • Deciding Life Transitions

    Whether it's a decision related to treatment, career, or personal life, we can help guide you through these crucial conversations and choices, ensuring your unique healthcare needs don't interfere with the decision-making process.
