I work in outpatient, and this is a topic I have been wanting to bring up with persons with aphasia and their family members during the initial evaluation and treatment sessions during education. Thank you SO much for opening the door for us clinicians to talk about this more confidently with our patients!

A very important and rarely addressed topic
by
Shawnette
on
April 6, 2021
A topic that is rarely discussed - intimacy(friendship/relationship) and the difficulties persons who have experienced a stroke and are left with Aphasia live with. The information was relevant and provided concrete examples of what persons who have Aphasia loose. The physical and emotional challenges that one experiences can have a profound impact on their relationships. The added stress of not being able to communicate basic wants and needs and indeed difficult and my not be understood by the caregiver/spouse. We as SLPs could be train those who specialize in intimacy communication techniques. This could assist with rediscovering daily participation in activities at home.

Very basic introduction to this topic. I did not feel it gave relevant examples of goals/activities to put into actual practice. Much of the time was spent telling us that communication deficits impact intimacy, which felt redundant as I imagine most SLPs already know this. Repeatedly said intimacy is more than sexual; however, most examples pertained to bridging the discussion about sex and referrals to therapists and sex therapists. What about strategies to work with changing roles and intimacy of parent/child, between friends, homemaker/spouse, etc.? Good starting point but could have given much more helpful information to help us actually implement some things into therapy.

I had genuinely not thought of how the intimacy of a couple could be affected until I had a 31 year old stroke female patient wife and mother of three this past summer. She and her husband seem to have such a wonderful relationship even post stroke I wanted to help more without seeming out of my scope. This course definitely showed me how that is possible.

To be honest, when I looked at today's topic I was wondering what will be the role of an speech language pathologist? but then I was curious to know that's why I enrolled in to this course. The presenter opened my mindset and reflected my thought process look into broader aspects of intimacy. I agree with the presenter that many fellow SLPs will not be comfortable to discuss about intimacy topic with their Aphasic patients which is one of the most challenging aspect which has been affected. All SLPs focus on communication rehabilitation but not on intimacy topics with their patients. I was glad to attend this topic and I am grateful that my perception and reflection to this topic got changed.
