Dr. Bob Flanagan in the first of his two books in the Courage to Thrive series. “When panic attacks and suicidal thoughts strike, finding victories in the small things of life and reframing feelings can help a person flourish even in the midst of mental health struggles.” He knows all about that. “I have spent two decades combating mental illness head-on,” Father Bob says.</description>
