EP 22: Therapeutic Benefits of Reading & Journaling with Bibliotherapist Bijal Shah

This week I'm joined by Bijal Shah. Bijal is a bibliotherapist, counsellor, author and poet. We chat about how books and journaling can be used as an effective form of therapy. Bijal explains why it's important to figure out your personal values so you can live a happier life. If you're after some reading tips or life advice, give this episode a listen.
