2022 was shaping up to be the year of a lifetime for Darcy Patrick. His fifth book was about to be released and he had landed his dream job as a peer support provider in Mental Health and Addictions. It seemed that all his hard work over the last 10 years since starting therapy for depression and anxiety was paying off.

Then, on January 2, 2022, Darcy woke up with the most intense pain he had ever felt in his life. A deep pain that was radiating through his lower back and legs.

After being misdiagnosed on January 3 in the emergency room, Darcy returned on February 28, where he was Finally taken seriously and admitted with discitis and vertebral osteomyelitis. A bacterial infection was eating his discs and his spine, which led to him losing use of his legs and ultimately having to undergo emergency spinal fusion.

Personal Growth follows Darcy's recovery from the beginning of this experience all the way up to learning to live with the chronic and persistent pain that has never left.

Darcy gives a real-life look at the coping skills he learned to use over time so he could not only survive, but thrive.

Darcy shows you how to use:

Radical acceptance

Self-compassion

The power of pacing

Mindfulness

Meditation and more!

If you struggle with chronic and persistent pain and the mental health struggles that go along with it, this book is for you! In fact, Personal Growth is a must-read for everyone!
