I'm Fine
Karen Jaye, author
How many times have you felt awful and, when asked, “How are you?” you respond with, "I'M FINE"
“I’m fine” is the usual answer, typically the expected answer that rolls off the tongue without thought, a habit. The question is why. Because others don’t want to hear about problems? Because it would be viewed as complaining? Or, more importantly, because others wouldn’t understand?
It is true, our culture as a whole does not understand psychological distress, such an essential topic. I’m Fine epitomizes how real feelings are generally difficult to reveal.
"I’m Fine" reveals how our culture contributes to inhibiting healing, support, and recovery—and provides answers and explanations of why dealing with emotional pain is so misunderstood, why it is so difficult to part the dark clouds, and how you can help yourself and a loved one.
Discover what subtle influences work together to create and maintain a powerful stigma that affects those suffering and society itself.
