Hello. My name is Rodney and I wrote a book titled Paralyzed Emotions.
I wrote a personal memoir confronting life with my mental illnesses. It is a series of letters written to my doctor back in the 1980's when I was first diagnosed. When I gave them to her, I never expected to see her again (she was moving to another state to practice). To my utter surprise she called me from a payphone in the Denver airport to tell me that I needed to publish them!

Hello. My name is Rodney and I wrote a book titled Paralyzed Emotions.
I wrote a personal memoir confronting life with my mental illnesses. It is a series of letters written to my doctor back in the 1980's when I was first diagnosed.

To my utter surprise she called me from a payphone in the Denver airport to tell me that I needed to publish them!
Well now, I didn't think they were anything special. And they were so very personal, I didn't feel ready to share. So, I prayed about it, and I felt that God wanted me to wait for 25 years. 30 years later a pandemic hit. While isolated God prompted me to finish the letters and publish it. So, I got them back out, dusted them off, and got to work! My prayer for this book is that it helps lift the veil of mystery surrounding mental health crises. Whether you are struggling with mental illness and feeling alone or you love someone who does and just don't understand how they feel this book will help.
