In her new book, Illness to Wellness: Reclaiming Your Life After a Medical Crisis, professional therapist Betsy M. Cohen reveals how she faced an unexpected life-altering medical event, and how she has been able to put her life back on course. In this book, for which I served as an editorial consultant, Cohen gives you a toolbox of simple, down-to-earth strategies to help you manage the emotional, medical, spiritual, and legal aspects of recovering, surviving, and thriving after a health crisis. The book is informed by the author’s thirty years of professional experience as a practicing rehabilitation therapist and case manager. Her own journey through her life-altering medical accident provides an easy-to-follow road map through a medical system that can be confusing and complex. In clear and moving language she shows you how to “recalibrate your course, set your sails in a new direction, and learn to cruise in a way that reflects necessary lifestyle changes, but allows meaning, productivity, engagement, purpose and hope.”

If you or a loved one have recently suffered a traumatic medical event, then this book was written just for you.
