Leaving the Shadowland of Stress, Depression, and Anxiety
We all experience two types of stress: (1) the stress we seek and (2) the stress that seeks us. We bring the first type on ourselves through poor lifestyle choices or poor thinking habits. The second type comes to us through life circumstances: accidents, abuse, and trauma.
The first type is more common and contributes to chronic stress. The second type, though less common, can hit much harder. Both are dangerous because both are capable of throwing us into an emotional shadowland—a dark place filled with fear, deep sadness, and despair. The emotional aftershocks of stress can include:
• depression,
• anxiety,
• post-traumatic stress disorder,
• substance abuse, and
• self-harm.
Written by a neuroscientist (and trauma survivor), this book explains exactly how stress leads to mind-brain disorders like depression and anxiety. Using up-to-date clinical research and biblical principles, it then describes the best ways to leave the shadowland.

About the Author

Dr. Pamela Coburn-Litvak has published research articles on the effects of exercise and stress on the brain in the journals Neuroscience and Neurobiology of Learning and Behavior. After receiving a PhD in neurobiology and behavior from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, she served as both assistant professor of physiology and pharmacology and special assistant to the vice president for research affairs at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California. She then joined the biology department at Andrews University and developed courses in human physiology as well as the neurobiology of mental illness.
Eventually, she left academia in order to work fulltime at her own company: Rock @ Science LLC. She now writes and speaks to general audiences about stress-related illnesses and health. She also collaborates with other speakers and writers in the health field. She codeveloped the neuroscience segments of the Stress: Beyond Coping seminar with its creator, Dr. William “Skip” MacCarty, D. Min. In 2018, Dr. Coburn-Litvak started the website Leaving the Shadowland of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression (http://leavingtheshadowland.com/). She currently hosts a podcast by the same name.
Dr. Coburn-Litvak lives in California with her husband, Oleg, and younger daughter. Their older daughter is mostly grown and attending school elsewhere.
When she’s not studying or teaching about stress, Dr. Coburn-Litvak enjoys stress-relieving activities like puttering around the garden, taking nature walks with her family, knitting, cooking, and reading.
