HIGHLY acclaimed US-based Trinidad and Tobago-born gospel singer Royanne Mitchell continues to expand her frontiers. Mitchell has now added the title of author to her wide range of multidimensional creative and gifted talents.
Her book, Breaking Through, is aimed at assisting individuals in overcoming anxiety issues: mental health conditions plaguing humanity exponentially worldwide. Advice is shared specifically from Mitchell’s own personal anxiety experience. The dilemma of anxiety and fear is engaging the attention of psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers worldwide who come together to gain a clearer understanding of the root causes and unique intricacies of the unwelcome circumstance and to provide the most appropriate remedial advice to those who are challenged by the experiences and idiosyncrasies that accompany the condition.
Breaking Through is birthed from a place where life demands so much more, causing many persons to develop compulsive tendencies, striving relentlessly to keep abreast with the myriad levels of responsibilities and accountabilities imposed upon society to make things work. As a consequence, the pressures of modernday living affect us to the point of our becoming extraordinarily overwhelmed and subjected to episodes of anxiety amidst life’s inescapable and increasing twists and turns.
In her book, Mitchell cites a multitude of situations where stress affects us all very differently and creeps up upon us subconsciously to the extent where it eventually pierces the barriers of resistance even among those with the most enduring and stubborn levels of physiological and mental tolerance.
Readers of Breaking Through will benefit from Mitchell’s own personal experiences, gain a better understanding of how chronic anxiety and fear really operate, how she fought and dealt with the condition along the way and continues to do so in order to stay firmly grounded. She acknowledges the fact that the experience was undoubtedly challenging, and gives an account of how she was able to overcome the most intense period of it’s intervention by God’s grace and maintain the breakthrough, filled with confidence and assurance.
