In-Versing Your Life

In this legendary poetry therapy workbook, which is in its second printing, award-winning author Cynthia Gustavson teaches readers that poetry is not just a medium for expressing their emotions–it’s a method of understanding them. Designed primarily for self-discovery and healing, “In-Versing Your Life” outlines steps everyone can take to stop writing off their problems and start writing them down. For unexpressed problems can neither be addressed nor overcome.

From the introduction to “In-Versing Your Life:”

“When I first began to practice individual and family therapy, I noticed many of my clients wrote poems at times when they didn’t know what else to do with their feelings. Writing enabled them to recognize what was going on in their lives, to help them understand their feelings, and finally to encourage positive action.” — Cynthia Gustavson
