If you are a health professional, this book offers insight into how to best support your patients and clients living with chronic pain.

"Finally, a raw, authentic book that shares the real challenges of living with chronic pain. Dawn’s insights into how her life was challenged, how stigma and guilt became all-consuming, and how she has turned it round to help both professionals and those living with chronic pain to identify what they need from family, friends and health professionals, makes this book the bible for everyone who knows or works with people living with chronic pain."
– Jan Sky, Neuropsychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and developer of ESI Mapping
