Summary:
"Rooted in the author's personal story of having long Covid since April 2020, the book offers ideas from "narrative therapy" as a lens through which to address the emotional impact of long Covid, and offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and regaining quality of life. Acknowledging that recovery is unpredictable, the book sheds light on the often invisible challenges faced by people living with chronic conditions, such as managing pacing and rest in a world that values productivity, the impact of illness on relationships, coping in the context of a pandemic, and negotiating day to day life when you are living between illness and wellness. Also drawing on the author's expertise as a clinical psychologist working in physical health, 'Breaking Free from Long Covid' offers ideas for reconnecting with what matters most to you when illness threatens to take over your life."--From publisher.
