Life Coach for Amputees! As a fellow amputee, I know the psychological difficulties people face after losing a limb. I have helped people on the phone and texting for the last ten years as a Life Coach with these specific issues. I understand what you are up against when you realize you have lost a limb. Prior to that, I was a clinical psychologist for over thirty years specializing in treating panic disorders and post-traumatic stress. My post-doctoral work was at the VA in San Francisco with vets coming back with lost limbs and traumatic body images.
