with Chronic Illness |
| The Chronic
Illness Workbook brings clarity and order to what feels
like an unmanageable and isolating experience. It shows both
those who are ill and those who care for them how to live
a full and meaningful life despite undeniable difficulties.
Using her extensive experience with chronic illness patients,
Patricia Fennell has created an original, comprehensive, research-validated
approach that considers not only the physical aspects of chronic
illness, but the psychological, social, and economic aspects
as well. |
"The
Chronic Illness Workbook takes its readers on a journey of
self-discovery, enabling them to overcome the challenges of chronic
illness and learn how to live a life bursting with self-compassion
and fulfillment… Ms. Fennell delves into every aspect of
this subject and provides her readers with an in-depth, practical,
self-explorative way to learn how to live a 'full new life.'"

fact that multiple sclerosis affects each person differently is
precisely what elevates The Chronic Illness Workbook to
