Collecting data to help people who have social anxiety. Can you help?

March 05, 2009   admin   No comments

Can you help? If you are over the age of 18 you may be able to help gather data that will in turn help people who have social anxiety. Here are the details:

Holly Clapton is a research assistant helping with a study that is collecting data to eventually form ways of helping people who have social anxiety. We would really appreciate your input!

The study has been approved by the ethics committee at the University of Southampton. The study involves visualizing various social situations and completing questionnaires about yourself and your relationships with other people. We are hoping that the results could help us understand how people with different degrees of social anxiety cope with different social situations and could potentially lead to possible forms of treatment for social anxiety. If you are interested, please follow this link. Your help and participation is greatly appreciated!

Songs of my soul and No Place to Stand

March 04, 2009   admin   No comments

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.

Some exciting news…

January 19, 2009   admin   No comments

Have you ever heard of a blog tour? Well, neither had I until a couple weeks ago. I was approached by a wonderful group of ladies who run a website called, wow-womenonwriting.

A blog tour is similar to an author’s book tour, but it’s hosted online, instead of at, say, a bookstore. The touring author visits a number of blogs (otherwise known as “blog stops”) over a set period–typically, a month.

Authors use this format to buzz their book, connect with readers, and have fun! It’s a wonderful way to network with a readership the author might never get to meet in “real” life. For instance, this tour takes us across the U.S. and to Canada, all in one month! Even the most gregarious traveler couldn’t conquer that much territory in such a short time. But it’s not about the territory covered, it’s about the interesting people you meet along the way.

I have the pleasure of hosting three of these wonderful authors throughout the months of January and February. Each author shares some topics that I think would be of interest to you. Here are the dates and upcoming authors and be sure to check back to see what wonderful things they have to say. As well if you get a chance and are an aspiring author be sure to go to the WOW website and poke around. There is lots of great informaton and you can see which authors you’re most interested in.

January 29: Ruth Hartman

February 6: Jan Lundy
