Hurricane Within Me, a memoir, is a compelling account of the life of the author living with dystonia. The hurricane image applies to a number of parallel emotions and experiences that challenged Bette Levine going back to early childhood.
She was subject to anxiety symptoms and panic attacks which often begin in preschool and can undermine confidence, learning and achievement.
Family dynamics provoke disappointment, isolation and rage which all had to be suppressed lest she incur severe punishment.
Then a subtle onset, slowly worsening, medical condition became a saboteur of attempts to succeed as her body literaly shook uncontrollably and muscle spasms affected everything from vision to walking. The correct diagnosis was elusive for a very long time.
This memoir describes the authors successful struggle to maintain a strong sense of identity and self esteem despite an array of hurricane force challenges. Her ability to find validation, support and answers has become a testament to her strength of character.
