Jacqueline Winspear _ Birds of a Feather
{Maisie} Tell me, Dr. Dene, if you were to name one thing that made the difference between those who get well quickly and those who don't, what would it be?{Dr. Dene} ...In my opinion, acceptance has to come first. Some people don't accept what has happened. They think, 'Oh, if only I hadn't...' or... 'If only I'd known...' They are stuck at the point that caused the injury....I would say that it's threefold: One is accepting what has happened. Three is having a picture, an idea of what they will do when they are better or improved. Then in the middle, number two is a path to follow.
