Songs of my soul and No Place to Stand
admin March 4th, 2009
As you know I am always searching for great resources for us and I’ve found two interesting books. Take a look and see what these books have to offer. I think both books are wonderful endeavours.
SONGS OF MY SOUL
is the poetry of a Canadian teenager who took her own life, in November 1991, after struggling, for more than ten years, with what began as school phobia (known as school refusal today) and progressed to, social phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia.
If you have an anxiety disorder and cannot make your friends and family understand the problem, this book will help them to understand that a person who has social phobia is a sensitive, creative and compassionate human being, too.
KIRSTIN’S STORY: no place to stand Author, Jean Jardine Miller
Children were not supposed to have anxiety disorders in the 1980s, when Kirstin’s story took place, and treatment consisted mainly of trying to track down the non-existent trauma that was causing the problem. Today, while we are, fortunately, more enlightened, misconceptions are still major hurdles when a child is referred for professional help. This book was written to help parents of children with anxiety disorders recognize what is happening when a child’s behaviour changes and to let them know that they are not alone.
