Main description:

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a way of occupying the mind whilst freeing the body to heal itself? There is a way, it is called writing therapy and anyone can do it! In this delightful book, author Ann Coffey shows how writing can be used as a therapy. Ann talks the reader through various writing activities and clearly shows that the holistic approach of writing therapy does work. Ann shows, by using her own illness in life as an example, (she is classified as a chronically sick woman), that there is a sequence of simple yet devastatingly powerful techniques that anyone can master and create a better life for him or herself. Writing therapy does work. This is book is the second title of a new launch from Aber Publishing, the new list in mind, body, spirit and personal development from Studymates.
