Readers are saying: "The Red Chair" novel is entertaining and informative!
President Franklin Roosevelt said,
"The only thing we have to fear, is fear
itself."
As humans, we are hardwired with five primal fears:
Extinction—the fear of death. Non existence.
Mutilation—the fear of losing a body part. Anxiety around animals or other creatures that can cause mutilation.
Loss of Autonomy—Claustrophobia. Fear of intimacy
Separation—Fear of rejection, abandonment, feeling unwanted, worthless.
Ego-death—Fear of humiliation. Shame. Disapproval. Jealousy or envy issues. Fear losing the
integrity of the Self.
Psychotherapist, Grace Simms, considers herself a professional. But when her college crush calls out
of the blue and wants to get together, which fear is triggered?
Not only is Grace dealing with matters
of the heart, soon, another fear begins simmering in her subconscious, she
suspects she’s being followed. Her natural instincts kick into a higher gear,
and she seeks help from the police. Given her profession, what is the first
question they ask? Does she have any enemies?
In session, Grace feels she provides her clients
with a safe place to work on fear, to understand the connection, make better
choices and conquer fear. But when her own situation escalates, she must face the facts: FEAR is a lot easier to master
when it’s not your own.
Grace’s clients are victimized by decisions made at an age
when their frontal lobes weren’t fully developed! Decisions which have escalated
into situations that need fixing. For James, his wake-up call comes when his
wife reveals her true colors after their two daughters are born. When Bruce
Tessler, develops an addiction to gambling, he unravels a marriage built on
quicksand. At eighteen, Marilyn never expected to be reduced to an aging harpy
unworthy of her husband’s attention when she hit menopause, Becky has been
living with the ideal man in her head since the age of fourteen, a man she
can’t name, and Arlene never got the chance to make bad choices, that privilege
was taken from her during a home invasion robbery when she was twelve.
