"Emily Suñez has created a wonderful tool for people living with illness. Her writing prompts are designed to provoke thought, emotion, and strategy for living one's best life. Her illustrations--paired with positive affirmations--are lovely and make the book feel like a safe, sacred place for the diarist to explore the ins and outs of chronic illness." --Katie Willard Virant, JD, MSW, LCSW "A very informative and empathetic treatise that is useful for all lupus patients." --Daniel J. Wallace, MD, Associate Director of the Rheumatology Fellowship Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Professor of Medicine at UCLA " The Healing Journal gives chronic illness patients the opportunity to take control of their illness rather than let the illness take over their selves, creating a sense of empowerment." --Christine H Lee, MD, MPH, rheumatologist " The Healing Journal reminds us that having a chronic illness requires patience, self-compassion, and self-kindness. It invites the reader to look at what they are going through with an open heart and offers opportunities for new perspectives on chronic disease and health.

" -- Nancee B. Jaffe, MS, RD, chief dietician at UCLA's Division of Digestive Diseases " The Healing Journal is a wonderful resource designed to support you through the tough days and acknowledge the positives on the better days. This beautiful journal just may help you find your way to a healthier outlook as it puts you on a clear path to healing." -- Rebecca Moshay, CRPS support group leader and patient " The Healing Journal is a beautifully illustrated guide that allows the reader to pause and verbalize their condition, bringing order to an otherwise chaotic process. As a health professional, my patients benefit best from acceptance of their illness and embracing mindfulness." -- Dr. Kristal Young, Southern California Heart Specialists, Huntington Memorial Hospital.
