About the event
Come together for an evening devoted to "self-help" and personal growth books. Facilitated by a therapist with over ten years of professional experience, this interactive workshop will explore the role of self-help books in supporting us on our personal journeys and ways to get the most out of these invaluable companions.
The workshop will include:
"Best practices" when it comes to reading and applying what we learn from these books in our own lives
How they can support our healing and personal growth processes, whether we are working with a professional coach/therapist or not
Why sometimes we read all of the books and still feel stuck or have a hard time integrating what we're learning (including some concrete ways to get unstuck)
Don't forget to bring one of your favorites to use in the exercises and to recommend to others!
