What if fear isn’t something we have to fight — but something we can learn to understand?

Sam used to love being the goalkeeper on his school football team.
But after a frightening accident, fear has taken over. His heart races. His thoughts grow loud. And the joy he once felt seems far away.

Jonathan knows that feelings don’t come to hurt us.
They come to teach us.

I write under the name Trisha Fox and live in Switzerland. I am the mother of three grown children, and I love everything connected with creativity—especially writing and developing new ideas and stories. When my children were younger, I taught them to place more trust in their dreams, thoughts, and feelings. It was important to me that they did not grow up believing they were simply powerless against life or their external circumstances. I wanted to show them that far more is often possible than we initially believe. Even wishes and dreams that seem unreachable or beyond our control can become reality. This is not only about creating a beautiful picture in your mind. The image is a tool. It helps us bring forth the positive feeling connected to the fulfilled wish. How would it feel if the goal had already been achieved? Would we feel joy, relief, gratitude, security, or pride? For me, this feeling is the most important part. Later, I wanted to share these ideas and experiences with other children as well. That is how my book series about Jonathan came to life.
