Erica B, Reviewer
A great starting point for creative writing as a form of therapy. Recommend for beginners to the subject - 'Write for Recovery' provides a decent summary of the psychological theory behind the practice without it being overwhelming.
Looking forward to trying the exercises given and seeing what comes of it, which I'm going to take my time with.
Taffy L, Reviewer
Opening line:
"I have used writing as a form of therapy most of my life, journaling almost daily since I was ten and then writing fiction for twenty-five years."
I haven't completely finished this book because I'm going slowly and enjoying the exercises, or, therapeutic writing. There's no end for personal recovering. There's a lot about staying in the moment, using tools that help lift the reader to a more positive level of self. Dreams, pictures, writing...all are used to bring more of an awareness to healing.
"What do you want?"
Thanks to netgalley for the early read! It's a book one could reread again and again when needing a lift.
