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.
