"Congrats on your 5 stars For "Breaking The Silence!"
Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World. Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain.
She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life. Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition.
This book aims to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.
Deborah Morgan has written an easy-to-read book concerning chronic pain and how to break through the silence and stigma that chronic pain sufferers face. She has first-hand experience with the topics she addresses and the tips and advice she provides.
The book is written in clear and accessible language, and repetition is helpful, especially as many who suffer from chronic pain also have difficulty concentrating. I found the chapter about the psychology behind dismissal very helpful as I am a fibromyalgia sufferer and have had much trouble understanding the way that others reacted and still react to my diagnosis. This book can be of use to any sufferer of chronic pain as well as those who want to understand their loved one who is in constant pain.
Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World does what the title implies. It helps you learn how to love yourself and communicate your feelings to those who need to understand what a pain sufferer endures to become more supportive in a healing and forgiving way.
I highly recommend this book!
