For Sensitive Liv everything is loud: noises, smells, bright lights, and especially other people’s feelings. But things become overwhelming when bullying thoughts start filling her mind, threatening horrible consequences should she not perform tasks such as washing, tapping or thought cancelling. Recognizing her distress, kind-hearted school counselor, Mr. Lane, helps Liv view the inner workings of her Kingdom of Mind. There she observes the Thought Crows of OCD telling fear stories in order to be fed her attention. Together with the help of Mr. Lane and her Inner Council of advisors, Liv learns to take back her power and the rightful reign of her Kingdom of Mind. The goal of this book is to help sensitive children understand the beauty and complexity of their own nature. By externalizing anxious thoughts in allegory, children struggling with OCD can learn to identify, label, and disconnect from the worrisome spinning of OCD.
