Managing Traumatic Stress Through Art: Drawing from the Center

Rating:
Summary: A remarkable tool.
Review: This extraordinary work enabled me to work through my great stress and associated feelings after my Father was diagnosed with stomach cancer which resulted in his death. I am grateful to the authors for creating such a powerful, accessible, and healing book. The instruction is clear, concise, and most importantly, easy to follow. Guidance is offered when challenging feelings arise. One never feels left in the lurch. And I don't believe you must be an artist, at all, to use this book, though you might be prompted to continue working with the simple and easily aquired materials the authors suggest. I can't say enough about the usefulness of this book for dealing with emotional trauma.
