Critic Reviews

"During challenging times, we can easily turn away from hard emotions or distract ourselves. It takes courage and practice to stay present, work through feelings, and find balance. This practical book offers a treasure trove of mindfulness-based art therapy exercises that guide us to connect with our innate wisdom and creativity. The creative exercises and prompts offer us a chance to cultivate openness and self-compassion, alleviate emotional distress, and discover a home within ourselves. I highly recommend!" -- Alison McKleroy, LMFT, Art Therapist, Author of The Self-Compassion Journal and Essential Strategies for Social Anxiety
