A Spider in the Palace
Understanding
and Overcoming Anxiety and Social Phobia
By
Jeanne Pricer
The
spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. (Proverbs
30:28)
Remember...You are awesome before God; you just have a spider in you!
Remember...You are awesome before God; you just have a spider in you!
Why I Wrote A Spider in the Palace
| After 20 years of combating the crippling and life-robbing forces of anxiety, panic, and fear, God brought me triumph! During the course of my struggles I had learned and accomplished so much. This plus the relief and freedom I experienced after a year of professional treatment with a military psychiatrist amazed me so much that I was compelled to share my story! I longed to help others who are similarly overwhelmed by such monstrosities to find anxiety relief and a newfound closeness to God. |
A Unique Book
| A
Spider in the Palace is written by a patient and non-professional
and is based on my own experiences through a life of “hard
(anxiety) knocks” and year of psychiatric therapy. In this
way, I completely represent the anxiety sufferer and the sufferer
can totally identify with me, the author. Still, the reader can
be assured that this book has earned the “mark of approval”
from a highly qualified psychiatrist. While writing, I frequently
sought the professional review of my doctor. According to my own survey of several bookstores and websites, professionals write at least 80 percent of the books on anxiety. Such designators as MD, PhD, and MSW follow their names. Other authors have professional descriptions such as nurse or therapist in their biography. Plus, my cursory inspection of each book indicated that a rare few have experienced anxiety disorder in their own lives. In the Christian arena, I found no book solely dedicated to anxiety or panic disorder. Therefore, a very large percentage of anxiety books are written by competent professionals with years of clinical and/or research experience but who have not experienced for themselves the ravages of anxiety, panic and phobia. An author like me can bring the anxiety experience home; and as a Christian, can offer hope and inspiration! |
