Description
Living with the Enemy: Coping with the Stress of Chronic Illness Using CBT, Mindfulness and Acceptance by Ray Owen. A long-term physical health condition can take over your existence, leaving you feeling like you're just going through the motions. The constant battle against symptoms and the emotional toll it takes can make everyday life feel impossible. However, this book offers a different approach, using the latest developments in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you live better despite your condition. By learning how to spot unhelpful coping mechanisms, manage troubling thoughts and feelings, and find meaning in your circumstances, you can start to rebuild your sense of purpose and achieve a better quality of life. With practical tools and exercises, including downloadable audio resources, this book provides a supportive guide to help you navigate the challenges of living with a long-term condition. By adopting a more mindful and accepting approach, you can break free from the cycle of frustration and guilt, and start to live again.
