Therapist Monica DiCristina brings proven psychology techniques to readers looking to understand and embrace their pain so they can begin to heal and move forward with a full life ahead of them.
Monica DiCristina struggled for years to describe the pain she was experiencing inside. Without knowing what was behind her anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and fears, she created other names for them: "not good enough," "unworthy," "messed up," and "wrong." Through the slow process of understanding her own story, she discovered a glorious path to healing, as well as a calling to become a therapist to help others in the same way.
Now, Monica has created a guide to help you identify the patterns and barriers that are keeping you from being your authentic self. While not every wound may fully heal, each one can be understood, and that understanding starts when you confront the pain-not just recognizing the hurt, but naming and honoring it.
In Your Pain Has a Name, Monica offers a compassionate, open space for you to give voice to your pain. With the nurturing curiosity often found in a therapist's office, she will help you:
·Uncover your hurts: Pinpoint and define the hidden pain that's holding you back.
·Name your pain: Accurately describe and validate your feelings.
·Reclaim your identity: Distinguish yourself from the false stories your pain has created.
·Embrace your healing: Release the pain that no longer serves you and step into your truth.
In finding the language to describe your hurts, you gain the space and courage to become your fullest self-mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Join Monica on a journey to release the pain that isn't yours to carry.
Monica DiCristina is a practicing therapist with more than fifteen years of experience in individuals and couples therapy, with a master's degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She runs a thriving private practice in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a sought-after speaker, guest, and writer on topics of emotional healing and mental health. She walks with people as they process difficult experiences, helping to bring healing to their relationship with themselves and others. Drawing on the stories and experiences from her own growth journey, as well as her extensive work with clients, Monica is passionate about coming alongside people of all stages and circumstances as they do the brave and sacred work of transformation.
Monica knows very well the audible sigh of relief that comes from someone finally understanding and untangling their pain from their identity. Through her writing, speaking, and podcasting work, she combines not only her therapeutic knowledge but also her deeply-rooted faith and the power of empathy and storytelling to walk alongside her audience to a life of deep meaning and authentic connection to themselves and others. The intersection of her years of therapy experience, artful style, personal mental health journey, faith, and bi-cultural upbringing give her a unique perspective. It's Monica's heartfelt mission to guide, collaborate, and make space for others on their journey of becoming who they were created to be.
