One of the sort of favorite stories, it seems, is one called Shadow Monster. And the analogy there is they don't have names. They're just the names of the animals. So there's a mouse and a badger. The mouse has a monster in the cellar.

and the monster is obviously a metaphor for anxiety I mean it's really exploring OCD actually you know it's more than anxiety but I know that sort of people working with kids have used it to explore anxiety and I've done some sort of great work with it so you know they're sort of full of those sorts of
