Psychology and ME/CFS – Why an integrative approach is so critical

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments about our first two videos.

You can view the video below, and please do look out for the next instalment in the series, which will be talking about the nutrition side of the clinic, and specifically how we work with reactions to supplements.
