Riassunto

This is a book for everyone who wants to look more deeply into their lives. It is for the first-time self-help reader and the veteran of THE ARTISTS WAY alike. Price has devised a simple yet profound journal-writing programme that guides readers along an empowering path of growth and self-discovery.

The first step involves a 21-day writing plan (30 minutes per day on a given theme) which is then followed up with continued exercises (such as writing a letter to your parents that you won’t send) that help readers tune into their authentic selves, blocks, passions and goals. The jottings, essays, letters and journals provide rich ground for personal development work. The last third of the book deals with how readers can turn the insights thrown up by the writing process into positive action (working with dreams, facing fears, establishing boundaries and achieving fulfillment.)

Dalla quarta di copertina

If you have ever wanted to discuss a problem with a friend but couldn't find someone without an agenda…
If you have thought of therapy but have concluded your problems aren't 'serious enough' to merit it…
Or if you simply want to sort a few things out and look more deeply into your life…
'Writing from the source' is for you.

In this invaluable guide, therapist Allison Price offers an exciting format for resolving blocks. Through a series of journal writing exercises, you can learn to examine your life in the context of an effective (and enjoyable!) self-change programme.

Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living. Allison Price has pioneered a simple, effective lens through which to view your life. This method of self-therapy revolves around being courageous enough to tell the truth and open enough to hear the truth you have told. If that is the case, according to Price, you are completely capable of transcending the most limiting of your own normal neuroses.

Different exercises focus on relationships with friends and family, dreamwork, facing fears and working with boundaries. The final third of the book illustrates how we can work with insights uncovered through the writing process and turn them into positive action.
