Description
In, “Billy and the Anxiety Monster How to Love Your Anxiety and Heal, A Grown-Up Book for Your Inner Child” (BAM), Peter Bedard, takes us through a simple process of working with anxiety and learning to LOVE it. With any pain, anxiety included, our society historically teaches us to attack it, to be angry with it, to cut it out, shove it aside, medicate it, or run away from it. We become frustrated and bully the parts of us that are suffering. This can create a feedback loop, causing us to feel more anxious, overwhelmed, and helpless. Inspired by a timeless quote from Rumi, the mystical poet, “The cure for pain is in the pain”, Peter takes us on another healing journey full of practical and doable concepts that can help you heal. Peter’s first book, “Convergence Healing, Healing Pain with Energetic Love” inspires the reader to stop running from their pain, to love it, and even nurture a positive relationship with it. In BAM, Peter expands this journey working with his client, Billy, who discovers how his anxiety can work for him. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, then this book is for you! Peter Bedard, MA, C.Ht., RScP, is a therapist based in Southern California. He lives with his dog, Mr. Fox, cat, Ash, and of course, Gryllus.
