Overview

"This hybrid nonfiction of memoir and self-help recounts my debilitating experience with severe swallowing and digestive problems, which result in finding ways to come to terms with chronic illness. Together, we'll journey through key lessons that I've learned from managing the trauma of chronic illness, grief, loss and burnout. Split into two parts, first join me in my quest for diagnosis and treatment, during which I constantly battle to be heard by disparate medical teams; then I'll show you how I eventually became resolute in finding peace within the turmoil and provide you with practical tools for you to do the same. The second half of the book builds towards creating your own Prescription for Wellness, which hinges on finding wellness within the illness, rather than curing the illness to feel well again. I'll offer you a new Whole-wellness approach that considers your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing in a holistic way. Read this book if you're interested in personal development and wellbeing, if you are living with chronic illness, or if you know or live with anyone who has a chronic illness. At the end of each chapter, you'll find practical elements which you can collect to create a personalised toolbox that works for you".
