Phyllis Babrove's Blog - Posts Tagged "mental-health"

As a semi-retired clinical social worker, I write my books with two goals in mind--the first, to provide hope and inspiration to my readers; and the second, to provide a good story.

We all go through various things in life--love, loss, grief, disappointment. And there are issues in today's society that have an impact on all of us at some point, either directly or indirectly. They may include substance abuse, family problems, mental health issues, or a variety of others. My hope is to provide inspiration through my writing that will help readers resolve their problems--knowing that they are not alone.

My books can be found on Amazon in paperback and kindle formats.

I started my writing journey after retiring as a full-time social worker in 2015. My goal was to write a novel. I figured that because I like to read, I’d also be able to write a book. I was right. After a few online classes with a university, I wrote my first novel, When Shadows Linger. After a few months of submitting my manuscript to publishers and agents, two factors influenced my decision to self-publish. The first was my age and the second was having a lack of patience. Either I didn’t get a response, or I got a rejection. After some research, I turned to Amazon’s KDP publishing. (Kindle Direct Publishing). And so, my journey into the world of writing began. I subsequently published a sequel to the first novel and two novelettes. In 2021 I wrote a nonfiction book, and my newest publication is a journal. (I’ve written a series of articles about going to school later in life for a social work magazine, and I have also had two short stories published).

As a therapist, I strongly recommend writing to my clients. Not only is journaling a powerful tool to use for working through both past and present issues, but so is creative writing. As someone who deals with anxiety on a personal level, I can attest to the fact that writing has helped me work through stress and grief.

I would like to share my journey with you. With the purchase of my journal, An inspirational and gratitude journal from the author of Words from a mother in mourning. How to protect your child from drugs, I will give you three thirty-minute classes on how writing can help you deal with life’s stressors. The classes will be one- on-one on Zoom or Face Time. There is no cost or obligation.
