What I’ve been reading this week…
Healing through writing is the theme of Writing Away The Demons: Stories of Creative Coping through Transformative Writing edited by Dr. Sherry Reiter. The book is a collection of stories written by those who took up a pen and paper during their crisis - be it alcoholism, domestic violence, cancer, and addiction. Informative, enlightening, and inspiring, each story offers encouragement and insight to readers who might be in similar circumstances.
Deborah King suggests that what you hide can hurt you in Truth Heals, a book that focuses on the relationship between the suppression of truth and how this can later manifest into pain or illness. Using her own personal journey as well as client and celebrity profiles, Deborah offers a roadmap for people wanting to learn how to recognize and release emotional baggage.
