About this listen

This is a story about a young boy and his journey into the world of anxiety. There, he must face his fears—a scary monster called Boo, who keeps telling him that bad things will happen and that the world is full of hatred and rage. Like most of us would, the boy first tries to escape. To run away from it. But no matter how much he struggles, the monster is always there. Exhausted and terrified, the boy stops doing all the things he loves to do. Except for one thing. He draws. And in those magical moments, there is no rage. No fear. No darkness. Just the boy, the pencil, and the paper…

The Boy Who Had a Monster on His Shoulder empowers children to overcome anxiety and gives parents valuable advice and guidance during difficult times. And the need is eminent, as millions of children around the world suffer from anxiety.

Written by state certified psychologist Thomas Geuken and storyteller Adam Ruben. The story is based on personal experiences and proven narrative therapy.
