On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m sharing my favorite books to soothe the mind after a session of expressive writing on the page. 

Come listen as I talk about what expressive journaling is and share a specific form of it called JournalSpeak from Nicole Sachs. We’ll explore what it is, how it works and the books I recommend for soothing your nervous system once you lift your pencil from the page. This practice has changed my life and I know it can help yours, too. 

If you’d like more information about expressive writing, then listen to Episode 178 of the podcast.
