About this listen

Therapist Monica DiCristina brings proven psychology techniques to listeners looking to understand and embrace their pain so they can begin to heal and move forward with a full life ahead of them.

Monica DiCristina struggled for years to describe the pain she was experiencing inside. Without knowing what was behind her anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and fears, she created other names for them: “not good enough,” “unworthy,” “messed up,” and “wrong.” Through the slow process of understanding her own story, she discovered a glorious path to healing, as well as a calling to become a therapist to help others in the same way.

Now, Monica has created a guide to help you identify the patterns and barriers that are keeping you from being your authentic self. While not every wound may fully heal, each one can be understood, and that understanding starts when you confront the pain—not just recognizing the hurt, but naming and honoring it.

In Your Pain Has a Name, Monica offers a compassionate, open space for you to give voice to your pain. With the nurturing curiosity often found in a therapist’s office, she will help you:
·Uncover your hurts: Pinpoint and define the hidden pain that’s holding you back.
·Name your pain: Accurately describe and validate your feelings.
·Reclaim your identity: Distinguish yourself from the false stories your pain has created.
·Embrace your healing: Release the pain that no longer serves you and step into your truth.

In finding the language to describe your hurts, you gain the space and courage to become your fullest self—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Join Monica on a journey to release the pain that isn't yours to carry.

Critic Reviews

“Provocative and enlightening. Monica DiCristina skillfully takes us into some of the therapeutic dark places of our pain and not only shines a helpful light on where it originates, where it is perpetuated and can be changed, but also illuminates the hindrances and ‘pretenders of helpfulness’ to avoid in our journeys toward healing. A great resource for beginning the process of naming and changing.”

Terry Hargrave PhD and Sharon Hargrave, MA, founders of Restoration Therapy and authors of Five Days to a New Self
“Monica DiCristina has written a must-read guide for anyone seeking to learn valuable tools in order to thrive following unnamed emotional pain, anxiety, and trauma. Monica continues to bring her unique voice, personal stories, and insights, and a commitment to help others through Your Pain Has a Name. This book is a raw and remarkable call not only to heal ourselves but also to begin to think about mental health support and healing in a broader way.” —Chinwé Williams, PhD, LPC, therapist and coauthor of Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens Through the Power of Connection
“In Your Pain Has a Name, Monica DiCristina becomes a gentle companion to weary hearts, offering calm, comfort, and compassion. Her storytelling is approachable and wise—affirming our pain while leading us toward wholeness. Drawing on her years as a therapist, Monica puts words to the deep hurts we carry and guides us on a path toward healing. If you’re wondering if this book is for you… it is.”—Kayla Craig, author Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way, creator of Liturgies for Parents
“In Your Pain Has a Name, Monica DiCristina is more than an author and purveyor of words on pages. She is a gentle and profoundly knowledgeable guide who invites us into the sacred practice of seeing the truth about ourselves. The truth that is too often overshadowed and distorted because of past and present pain. From the first page to the last, we are met with compassion and empathy, alongside accessible and practical tools to apply to our journey of rediscovering our truest selves. Monica has done a beautiful job of providing us with the safety and comfort to explore our own redemption stories, as we are empowered to name our pain and heal.”—Patricia A. Taylor, writer and anti-racism educator
