Today we’d like to introduce you to Alison Mcgrath
Alison, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As a licensed mental health counselor I realized there was a need to support those worries that many children (and adults) face, I wanted to provide a tool for people to use to make sense of the worries in their mind, reframe their thoughts which would ultimately change their behavior. This is based on the principals of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). This became a passion for me and a labor of love. My goal is to normalize that all feelings are okay and support as many children as possible!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I have come to realize that as confident as I am in certain ways, this entire process has made me feel exposed and vulnerable. It is so hard not to take it personally if your book doesn’t sell. I am working to help reframe this mindset and practice self compassion as much as possible!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a licensed mental health counselor by profession, and wrote a children’s book about reframing worry thoughts. I am known for wanting to help as many children as possible and being transparent about my own journey and worries I experienced all throughout my life. I am most proud of learning how to self publish, creating a business with my husband, and getting this into as many hands as possible. I have worked tirelessly this summer taking Walter on tour to try to educate as many people as possible.
This book is set apart from others as it gives individuals a practical way to reframe their worries on their own.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Surround yourself with people who can support you emotionally! People who are also on a similar journey can make this process feel just a little bit better on days when you get discouraged!
