It Takes Courage: Coping With Chronic Illness
- the book -
"It Takes Courage: Coping With Chronic Illness" is about success over adversity. Learn how I navigated through years of challenges related to my multiple sclerosis diagnosis, while preparing myself for a future "free" from disability. Discover through my journey how life with adversity can be lived positively and see how I was able to:
• Show how telling one’s "story" can affect the grieving process.
• Examine how giving up a story can free the victim within.
• Identify transitions from victim to survivor to conqueror.
• Learn how the struggle with adversity can be therapeutic.
• Consider how the anger-depression cycle can motivate change.
• Discover how sex, sexuality and self-esteem define self-identity.
• Find ways to turn negative consequences into positive outcomes.
• Explore how wellness concepts can alter a life with chronic illness.
