The Reverse Rett Podcast25 Nov 2020

Ep 03 Dr Ruksana Ahmed

On this week's podcast, I'm speaking to Dr Ruksana Ahmed, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at New Centre for Personalised Medicine in Rett Syndrome, based under the National and Specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, CIPPRD, at the Maudsley Hospital in South London.

During our conversation, Ruksana and I touch on those all too familiar feelings; shame, guilt and loss, as well as those critical moments in our experience as Rett parents which may influence our mental health and resilience in the long term.

We also cover questions re Covid-19; are Rett parents are better equipped than most to handle the pandemic? How can we mitigate the lack of touch and physical interaction when separated from loved ones and critically, how to maintain resilience over the months ahead.

I'm very grateful to Ruksana for taking the time to provide this sort of invaluable insight and encouragement to me and to all the people listening.

We would both welcome your feedback. Let us know what you think of the podcast by leaving a review. Don't forget to subscribe.

Thanks for listening.
