Bibliotherapy, the idea that books can help us grow through what we go through, is a fascinating field highlighting the important role that reading can play in making our lives better and today’s guest is leading the way forward in it.

Bijal Shah is a bibliotherapist, counsellor and author. She is the founder of Book Therapy and offers bibliotherapy sessions, personalized book prescriptions and bibliotherapy training. 

On today’s episode, we talk about all the things: what bibliotherapy is and why it matters, how books can heal, the importance of literary journaling and much, much more.
