Book therapy

At its core, bibliotherapy is the use of literature to help people cope with psychological, emotional, developmental, or social challenges. It can involve reading:

Fiction (novels, short stories)
Non-fiction (self-help books, psychology texts)
Poetry
Memoirs or biographies

Bibliotherapy can be done individually, in therapy sessions, or in group settings (like reading groups or support groups).

Creative writing is a structured or informal practice where individuals engage in writing poems, stories, journals, letters, or reflections as a tool to:

Explore emotions
Release stress or anxiety

Strengthen self-expression and identity
Foster creativity and play

It can happen in:

Workshops (group or one-on-one)
Therapeutic settings (e.g., with therapists, counsellors and bibliotherapists)
Schools, prisons, hospitals, or community centres
At home, as part of personal self-care
