Dear Listener,

In the last voicenote we touched upon bibliotherapy, what it is, a brief history and how we define it at Book Therapy. In today’s voicenote, I wanted to talk about how we can use bibliotherapy in treating every day mental health issues, as well as touch upon who practices it, why it works, and the impact of solo reading vs group reading.

I hope you enjoy it!

Warmly,
Bijal

We also talk about her work on a fascinating European project called the European Library of Emotions as well as a whole host of book projects that she is working on including some exciting Slovenian travel books that also incorporate fairy tale hikes, that are perfect for kids in and around the country as well as in neighbouring Italy, Hungary and Austria.
