Latest Praise for Write Your Self Well
I gave the book "Write Yourself Well" to one of my clients who had trouble keeping regular appointments and was also having trouble contacting inner information to assist her in her healing process. She began using the book and almost immediately started keeping her appointments. She brings her inner material to her sessions and is eagerly mining more from her unconscious with corresponding improvements in her health and well being. She has also begun to remember her dreams with more regularity and use the material in her journal. This is an amazing change in her ability to work with and for herself and not just wait for all the answers to be handed to her from the outside. I will be recommending this book to my clients on a more regular basis.

Write Your Self Well…Journal Your Self to Health is one of the best things I have read on the use of journaling to improve a patient's health. The objective of this work is to offer the benefits of expressive writing experienced by participants in twenty-plus years of clinical trials to all patients suffering from chronic or acute illness.
