The Great Little Fox is a story book, a picture book that engages in dialogue with the self and reflects on self-healing. Speaking of the author of the American super popular writer and illustrator Kate Allen, I have to mention her last warm picture book "Soft Hedgehog", which can accompany and soothe every wounded heart. After watching "The Soft Hedgehog", she learned that the author Kate Allen had suffered from depression, dropped out of school, and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder by psychologists, and she found a way for herself to resist anxiety and depression, that is, painting.
Kate Allen found humorous and sincere bloggers online showing off her experiences with depression, and with the help of a psychotherapist, she mentioned that the painting of The Great Little Fox was written for her younger self so that people who shared her experience might not feel hopeless.
This is the power of sharing. Before watching a variety show, several male stars sang "black hair, black eyes, yellow skin" not only burst into tears, but they choked up and said that they had this song when they were young. Yeah, those who are still wandering around, if only they could have seen "The Great Little Fox" earlier.
The seven sufferings of life, birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, love and separation, can not be sought, many are natural pain, inevitable, the emotional problems that plague modern people are mainly anxiety, and then emotional collapse, self-seeking blame, and even disgust themselves, this is actually the most dangerous moment. And not all people leak out their emotions, exposed, but silently endured, all the bad emotions piled up together, and finally broke out into a collapse, which may go to the extreme when it is serious.
So find a tipping point for yourself, when you have some strange words or actions, stop yourself in time, such as writing yourself a letter, just like Kate Allen did in "The Great Little Fox", seven letters, for different situations. When the mood breaks down, hold your breath and relieve the feeling of congestion in your chest. By writing down the things you have to do every day, you can block out the noise outside and focus on self-improvement; when you are anxious, give yourself positive psychological hints: I can accept it, I can cope with it. This is a positive signal to the panicked brain that it will not be blinded by problems.
Every child wants to be their ideal, but when they grow up, they find that they are gradually separated from their heroic dreams, and life is a process of accepting that you are an ordinary person, because you are also the only you in the world.
So don't hate yourself, don't abuse yourself psychologically, the inner self-loathing can only destroy yourself, but actively improve yourself.
Throughout the book, Kate Allen is making everyone learn to love themselves and learn to live with themselves. For example, when the social mess is messy, come to a date with yourself: take yourself out, understand your preferences, and get used to the feeling of being alone. And to communicate sincerely with others, it does not matter if you can't integrate into other people's groups for the time being, those darkest moments will soon pass.
This "Great Little Fox" can be said to be the sister article of the little hedgehog, the painting style continues to be the previous one, colorful colors, docile animals, cute and flashing eyes, and the indispensable short and powerful sentences, many people read the tears, it is these words and these animals with their own light are deeply engraved in the heart, so after reading through this book, if you encounter a depressed mood every day, you can open one at will, take a look, and you will survive.
