What do traditional therapy and books have in common? #bibliotherapy #books #mentalwellbeing

Both connect us to our imaginations, memories and emotions.

Both enable reflection.

Both transform pain.

Both hold spaces for often thinking the ‘unthinkable’ or relieving the ‘too painful’.
And lastly both enable creative thinking, leveraging memory and imagination to eventually heal.

And it's hear that the power of bibliotherapy lies.❤📚🌿

A big hello and thank you for watching! Passionate about literature, psychology, and life I launched Book Therapy as an alternative form of therapy using the power of literature. I train mental health professionals, librarians, teachers as well as readers on using bibliotherapy in their own work through our online Bibliotherapy, Literature and Mental Health course (https://www.booktherapy.io/products/bibliotherapy-literature-and-mental-health). We also curate reading lists/personalised book prescriptions for clients based on their individual needs. This is our signature personalised reading service: https://www.booktherapy.io/products/personalised-book-prescriptions-2

You can also check out Book Therapy’s other free reading lists and A- Z of book prescriptions (covering both fiction and non-fiction). These suggest books based on your existing life situation (e.g. anxiety, job change, relationship heartache) as well as interests (e.g memoir, historical fiction, non-fiction, crime etc). There’s also a Children’s A — Z of Book Prescriptions. Feel free to check out the blog for more literary gems. There’s also a post on my personal story of how I entered the world of bibliotherapy and book curation.

In this role, I have had the opportunity to publish two books called Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading (https://amzn.to/3TwXxiu) and The Happiness Mindset, and write various literary essays and pieces for newspapers and magazines. I have undertaken bibliotherapy workshops for The United Nations, various libraries in New York and corporate organisations in the UK and US. My book recommendations have featured in the Guardian, Marie Claire, NBC News, Asian Voice, New York Observer, Sydney Telegraph and various other publications. If you are a parent you might enjoy a podcast I’ve recorded with speech and language therapist Sunita Shah on Raising A Reader & Storyteller. And if you’d like to connect, email me at [email protected] or www.booktherapy.io.
