Own your story What was your favourite book growing up? Or the pinacle moment when you felt completely swept away by a great story? Books have a special power – whether it’s pouring your heart out in a journal, escaping from reality with captivating fiction, or finally feeling understood when you see yourself in someone else’s words.
But we also want to celebrate the power that turning a new page can have on bringing you that clarity. That’s why we’re exploring the imaginative therapy that focuses on prescribing the perfect read at just the right time.
Reading has the potential to connect us not only with people throughout history, and from all around the world, but also with ourselves.
Michelle Obama wrote in her biography: “Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own.”
They say ‘the cover is not the book’, and it’s a sentiment that certainly rings true. When we find the courage to open up and look inside, we give ourselves permission to be authentically ‘us’. In this issue, we’re focused on helping you to truly understand yourself. From getting to the root of your emotions, to embracing the silence, and learning to love yourself.
We shouldn’t be afraid to start a new chapter, but know that all those moments that brought us here have helped shape us, too. And the rest, well that’s ours to write. Own it.
