Review
Fennell cares for everyone's health: no matter who they are, whether or not they are experiencing chronic illness. That is the beauty of this book, it can be read and used by everyone. --Zhenyi Li, PhD; School of Communication & Culture, Royal Roads University, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
A diagnosis of a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Patricia Fennell's workbook allows a 'bite-sized chunks' approach to regaining control, concentrating on the possible, celebrating small achievements and most of all being kind to yourself. --Jane Grose, PhD, MBA, RN, RMN; Research Fellow, Sustainability & Health, University of Plymouth, UK

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to help those with chronic illnesses transition to a place of acceptance and transformation.
Living in Albany, NY, I was actually familiar with Ms. Fennell and her associates, but had not needed to employ their services, advocating for and assisting chronically ill individuals (locally and nationally). Then, a year ago, I contracted some mysterious illness that left me essentially bedridden for weeks at a time. It has been a long year, but it was ultimately this book (once I broke down and admitted that there is an emotional component to physical illness that lingers, which has to be addressed before healing can truly take place), that allowed me to turn the corner in my way of thinking. It was as if Ms. Fennell had looked into my brain throughout the last year and was describing exactly the thoughts and feelings the illness and pain had caused. I suddenly realized that I was not flawed or weak, I was just reacting to an intense situation...the way most other people faced with chronic illness do. This book helps you through the process of finding a medical team you can trust, finding a medical advocate, and advocating for yourself in the workplace or obtaining help in that regard if necessary. The book has helped me come to a place where my diagnosis isn't as critical as learning to care for myself, modify the life I had to fit my new physical limitations, and (most importantly), learning to be okay with the changes...acceptance. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone who has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, anyone who is suffering from an unknown chronic illness, or anyone who loves someone in those situations. The insight is amazing and empowering.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great information
We've been using this workbook in a group therapy class for chronically ill people, and it has been so helpful for me to better understand my situation and to learn how to create a meaningful life.
3.0 out of 5 stars Unsure
I bought this book after being told by a social worker that their group class for chronic illness-I have a few issues, but losing my sense of smell really had hurt me worse than back pain or a chronic mouth sore.I sent it back because I know I’m not disciplined to do the actual work on my own.
4.0 out of 5 stars A perfect place to start when you're ready to face your chronic pain and maybe even do something about it
This book has a brilliant guideline for working through the transition in to a life of chronic pain as well as a solid manual/structure to support those who have been suffering for years. Although the book can be completed independently and you can certainly flip around to areas that are more valuable, I've found to truly receive the maximum benefit from the text and exercises, it is best to work with a group or individual. You definitely want to start at the beginning, working through each section. You can spend as much time as needed on each section, but there can be many "reviews" and "reminders" in every part of the book. You may never know what can be most helpful to your struggles. That was my own personal experience. Now I have decided to share this information with a group and allow them to help me reach a deeper understanding of the text. Whether you join a group or create a group to work through the book, multiple voices and insights sharing the experience are invaluable. However you choose to utilize the information, it is worth having it at arms reach for anyone who suffers with chronic pain everyday of their life.

This book is a life saver for people in crisis.
Hard work
This book really makes you sit down and take a good look at your life. I found it a bit difficult to work threw as it is just that work. Makes you really think about your life what you are doing with it and how to change it for the better. I have been able to simplify how I do things and what I choose to do on any given day as well as give out other things I could not or can not do to my family in an organized thoughtful manner. I never really realized how much the people around me relied on my assistance to get thing done until I opened this book up. I also did not realize how much I really do in a day or what is important and what is not so important till I went threw this book. It put into perspective what you want out of your life and how to go about doing what you need to do and still have time for the stuff you want to do!
Very good long term help
This book takes you through adjustment to a chronic condition in a sensible and achievable way. I used it for fibromyalgia. Highly recommended
This book is a must have for anyone who suffers from, or knows someone that suffers from chronic illness!
An excellent and much needed book for anyone who either suffers from chronic illness or knows someone who is. This book offers an inside look into the trials a chronically ill person goes through right from the start, and offers very helpful and thoughtful advice on how to cope and adjust to one's new life with hope and vision.
