Pain

In Pain: A Love Story, Serena Sterling, PsyD, explores how repressed emotions can manifest as physical and emotional pain, especially when medical tests show no clear cause. Drawing on her personal experience with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and case studies of others, she discusses the ways unspoken feelings and difficult relationships can contribute to persistent symptoms. Through honesty and vulnerability, the book highlights the importance of being heard and understood as a path to healing, offering insights for those dealing with unexplained or enduring pain rooted in emotional repression.
