A new way of looking at work

This summer I had the opportunity to submit an article to a newsletter published by a highly valuable organization, RSDSA. From my perspective as a psychotherapist, I wrote about what it was like to have to leave my clients and the private practice that I loved.

My writing especially speaks to those who have experienced a temporary or permanent disruption in their work lives as a result of disability. My story and the specific outlined strategies I offer are also meant for the benefit of loved ones and professionals.

Dear Elisa,
What a profound and inspiring article! Your story is heartbreaking and beautifully told, and at the same time you inspire us with so many great suggestions. Keep on writing. I would really like to read some more of your stories. Great photo of you and "Monkey," too!
