Item Description

Well-respected psychotherapist Ronnie Kaye--who won her own battle with breast cancer--has now written a compassionate and comprehensive guide to the emotional recovery from this ravaging illness. This uplifting guide helps women turn a devastating crisis into an opportunity for growth and victory.

"I found this book a tremendous help in dealing with the emotional roller coaster of cancer. At times when I began to fear the cancer had spread to my brain, she answered my questions. Why was I cuddling a fluffy lion beanbag, for goodness sake? Chapter 3: And Do You Have a Teddy Bear? told me why I needed that little lion, and reassured me. My behaviour was normal.

Why were my emotions so unstable weeks after surgery, when I had taken the diagnosis and hospitalization in my stride? "Now that things have slowed down, you finally have the opportunity to get at these feelings, and they seem to be hitting you all at once." says Ronnie Kaye in Chapter 12. "No wonder you're crying." That made sense.

With a master's degree in counselling psychology, Ronnie uses her own experiences in the valley of cancer to come alongside other women as they struggle with such topics as Body Image, Sexuality, Reconstruction, Emotional Reruns and many more. I heartily encourage people who are contending with such issues to read this book. Chances are you will find you are completely normal. And given what you're going through, that feels so good." -Review by Shirley Corder, author of Strength Renewed, Meditations for Your Journey through Breast Cancer.
