Publisher's Synopsis
Current statistics suggest that one in ten women and those assigned female at birth of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis. It is estimated that there are 176 million people worldwide living with the condition. On average, it takes eight years from the onset of symptoms to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis. This self-help book draws from the evidence-based compassion focused therapy (CFT) approach to provide you with essential coping skills to manage the psychological impact of the condition. The CFT approach enables you to respond differently to the difficulties that may arise from living with endometriosis, including understanding the condition itself, managing the impact it has on your relationships and bringing compassion to the distress associated with endometriosis.
