The Resilient Path
Books
Resilience is not a personality trait you either
have or lack. It is a set of skills — they can be learned, practiced,
and rebuilt after setbacks.

Managing Life with Chronic Pain · Pendleton B. Wickersham, MD, and Louise Locker, LCSW
You have been told to manage your pain. Nobody has told you how.
That gap is where most people living with chronic pain spend years —
the diagnosis arrives, the prescriptions start, the appointments stack
up, and the daily work of actually living with the condition falls to
you.
Dr. Wickersham is a practicing rheumatologist who has spent his career
in that gap with his patients. This book is what he wishes he had time
to say in every appointment. Written for people with rheumatoid
arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and other autoimmune and
chronic pain conditions.
Available in paperback and for Kindle
The Resilient Path Workbook
Workbook
Pendleton B. Wickersham, MD, and Louise Locker, LCSW
Reading about managing chronic pain and actually managing it are
two different things. Every chapter matches a chapter of the book, so
you are never left wondering which exercise goes with what you just read.
- Guided reflections that surface the patterns you have not noticed
- Trackers for pain, fatigue, sleep, and flares — turning scattered impressions into information you can bring to your doctor
- Pacing plans built around your real energy, not an ideal day
- Scripts for the hard conversations with family, employers, and clinicians
- Flare planning you do while you are well, so the decisions are already made when you are not
The pages are yours to write on. There are no right answers and nothing
to score.
