About this listen
One in five people live with chronic pain and most feel misunderstood and unsupported. Dr Dawn Macintyre was one of those people.
In Living with Chronic Pain, she shares her journey from a full life to one characterised by pain and shame – and back again- as she reclaims her thriving self. Interwoven with insight into the emotions and challenges faced, as well as practical advice for changes and support to help sufferers, Dawn provides her perspective as both a sufferer of chronic pain, and a health practitioner. Perfect for health professionals looking to best support patients and those living with chronic pain, this story will bring you courage, joy and most importantly, the knowledge to find your meaningful life again.
Dr Dawn Macintyre trained in Education and Psychology at London University, before completing her Masters in Public Health at Curtin University, WA. She worked and supported families who had tragically experienced the death of a child, going on to focus her PhD on the gaps and challenges faced by grieving families. She is now one of just a handful of professionals across Australia who specialise in supporting feelings of sudden loss, grief and confusion. Having experienced a life changing experience of chronic pain, and learning to survive and thrive through it all – Dawn is the author Living with Chronic Pain: From OK to Despair and Finding My Way Back Again.

Story5 out of 5 stars 20
Throughout my life I have done things my way, and they have always worked out - as if I've had luck in my corner. All of my optimism and bravado came to a crashing halt one cold December holiday night, when after an evening out with good friends, I suffered an accident. I was beaten with a pipe and later found under a moving train, resulting in quadriplegia. Given virtually no chance to walk again, I was devastated. But I also had hope, and lots of it. A fire that exists deep within, and has since childhood, burns on no matter the circumstances. I am here for a bigger mission. What would that mission now be?

While mental health is complex, our culture has made anxiety into something it’s not. For the majority of people who face anxiety, the truth is simpler than we think: Anxiety is an alarm. It’s a signal — nothing more and nothing less. Anxiety is simply our body’s way of telling us something is wrong. If we stop and listen, we can calm the alarm and move forward into healing and hope.

What do you do when the unthinkable happens? Elle Wright had an admittedly easy pregnancy - her scans went well, she and her baby were healthy throughout, and in May 2016, she and her husband welcomed their son, Teddy, into the world. Just a few hours after giving birth, they woke to find a nurse holding a cold and unresponsive Teddy, who had stopped breathing during the night. The happiest day of Elle's life had turned into every parent's worst nightmare, and she had to let her beautiful baby boy go.

Sometimes your foundation crumbles. Sometimes you realize there wasn't a foundation to begin with. Maybe your relationship ended in a breakup or divorce, or you lost your job, or a loved one died. Whatever crisis showed up to screw with you, it brought everything else crashing down, and suddenly life became confusing, disorienting, out of control. A total shit show. You. Need. Help. Therein lies the problem: Traditional self-help guides just aren't for you. You're an individualist, an iconoclast, a follow-your-own-drumbeat kind of person.

Helen Russell has researched sadness from the inside out for her entire life. Her earliest memory is of the day her sister died. Her parents divorced soon after, and her mother didn’t receive the help she needed to grieve. Coping with her own emotional turmoil — including struggles with body image and infertility — she’s endured professional and personal setbacks as well as relationships that have imploded in truly spectacular ways. Even the things that brought her the greatest joy — like eventually becoming a parent — are fraught with challenges.

The shark attacked while she was snorkeling, tearing through Micki Glenn’s breast and shredding her right arm. Her husband, a surgeon, saved her life on the spot, but when she was safely home she couldn’t just go on with her life. She had entered an even more profound survival journey: the aftermath. The survival experience changes everything because it invalidates all your previous adaptations, and the old rules don’t apply. In some cases survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they have to work hard to reinvent themselves.
