Praise for Finding Your Voice through Creativity

"…reading through this thoughtful, well-organized workbook gave me an appreciation of how art therapy works, and opened up an exciting new way of thinking about eating disorders. Although the authors specifically target the more amorphous category of "disordered eating," or subclinical behaviors that can includes self-starvation, binging and occasional purging, their book could be just as useful as a tool for an eating-disordered adolescent or adult in treatment."
— Nancy Matsumoto, co-author of The Parent’s Guide to Eating Disorders: Supporting Self-Esteem, Healthy Eating & Positive Body Image at Home

"This workbook gently teaches you about what is wrong in your life and how to right it. Through drawing and journaling, you’ll begin to understand yourself from the inside out…You can feel the authors’ kindness and concern for your well-being and success on every page. They are there to reassure you as you cover new ground and to support you in the "ah ha" moments you’re sure to have if you give yourself over to the exercises the workbook provides. Anyone can do this unique workbook. You need no special skills and you can go at your own pace. Discovering your voice through creativity is an effective way to heal yourself. Give it a try."
— Karen R. Koenig, author of The Food & Feelings Workbook and The Rules of Normal Eating

"Try this fun art activity which welcomes change into your life (reprinted with permission of the author): On an 8 ½ X 11 piece of paper, create a new hat with magical powers that would permit you to make at least one change in your life without feeling scared or overwhelmed. It can be colorful, black and white, tiny, outrageously crazy looking – anything. Have fun!"
— Heidi Dalzell, Philadelphia Eating Disorder Examiner

"I am always interested in new techniques for self-discovery and expression of my creative nature. The authors had my attention right from the beginning with "Let's Be Selfish for a Minute." The opening lines state "This chapter is about you. How often do you take the time to think about yourself?" I knew then that I was going to have opportunities to do some serious self-exploration. Chapter Two encouraged me to "walk through my heart" and be mindful of what I would find if I were to do so. Each successive chapter provided familiar forms of self-expression, accompanied by multiple new techniques."
