Diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis over 40 years ago, at the age of 13, Reshmi underwent Harrington rod treatment in Australia in 1974. Reshmi was required to undergo further corrective surgeries in adulthood due to the progression of her scoliosis. At the time, she decided to chronicle her journey with scoliosis, combining her lived experience with her professional expertise as a psychologist to help those whose lives scoliosis has impacted. 'The Emotional Journey of Scoliosis' is written to give hope to parents and adolescents who are dealing with scoliosis. This book helps one to understand the multitude of emotions which can be experienced from the time of diagnosis to treatment; it is packed with practical tips and a self-help guide to navigate the emotional journey.
