How to Read Your Way From Surviving to Thriving Workshop with Nicole Moody
Thu 16 Jan 2025 to Thu 16 Jan 2025
An introduction to Bibliotherapy for practitioners, educators and readers. Participants will be introduced to the neurological benefits of reading “for pleasure” and to a wellbeing model to help clients tailor their book choices and move from surviving to thriving.

“One sheds one’s sicknesses in books – repeats and presents again one’s emotions, to be master of them.” DH Lawrence, The Letters of DH Lawrence

Bibliotherapy dates back to ancient times when libraries were seen as sacred places where answers and healing could be found. This session explores reading as an active strategy to help clients cope with life’s challenges, looking at the wider and deeper ways in which fiction and non-fiction can ‘find’ people, emotionally and imaginatively, helping develop self-esteem, emotional granularity and interpersonal relationships.
