Overcoming 2e Project
We are working on an updated version of Overcoming the Emotional Challenges of Lymphedema by Elizabeth McMahon, PhD (Lymph Notes 2005) based on suggestions from Lipedema Education Group members and others. This may result in a second edition (Overcoming 2e) or a new book, possibly with additional authors.
Changes being considered include:
An e-book version for Kindle and other platforms.
More content related to lipedema, eating disorders/disordered eating, body image, resilience, etc.
Coping skills for social media, bullying, other issues.
The next step in our process is to collect feedback on the current book from as many people people with lipedema, lymphedema, or Dercum's Disease as possible. We want to know what readers like, don't like, would like to see added, or would remove from the book. We are also seeking project team members with a variety of skills, including mental health professionals.
