While many of these individuals finally have a diagnosis, and are no longer \"sick,\" they're still not \"well.\" They've gone through the treatments, taken the medications, and yet still find themselves suffering. So, what do you do after you've discovered the root of your condition, and you're still not healed? How do you move past the trauma of being diagnosed (which often takes years for many patients), as well as the trauma of now living with this condition? More importantly, what is this limbo between sick and well that so many patients find themselves in?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer is Medical Trauma Brain, a phrase Health coach and patient advocate Amy Kurtz coined after years of research into her own challenges with misdiagnosed Lyme disease. Medical Trauma Brain is the trauma that hangs on pervasively even after the patient is \"cured,\" keeping them stuck in the hell between sick and well. It's the most overlooked but crucial part of healing, and in \u003ci\u003eBut You Look Fine\u003c\/i\u003e, Amy shares the exact plan she used to move through this integral part of recovery so others can finally break free from their own bridge between sick and well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMark Hyman says, \"Amy Kurtz exposes a common occurrence that until now has gone unnamed and undiscussed by doctors and patients alike. Not only does she reveal this roadblock to wellness, but she also offers solutions, ones that we can all apply to our lives whether chronically ill, newly diagnosed, or labeled 'cured.' This is a paradigm-shifting book and a must-read.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234917888236,"sku":"9781538775301","price":69.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781538775301-but-you-look-fine-1.jpg?v=1787811116"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/amy-kurtz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
