Indian Rasa Theory & Bibliotherapy
Hello!
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! I have something really exciting to share with you! We've just launched a brand new online course on bibliotherapy, titled, Indian Rasa Theory & Bibliotherapy!
Indian Rasa Theory is an ancient Indian philosophy based on the use of evocative literature and the role of emotions in therapeutic reading. And today, I'd love to share more about how I have been applying this approach in some of my work on the course. The course is self-paced and online, so you can complete it at your own convenience.
The course launches on Thursday 24th October.
If you'd like to learn more about the healing power of Indian Rasa Theory and its role in bibliotherapy pre-order today, and get 20% of with code RASA. Offer expires on midnight Wednesday 23rd October. You'll receive a link to access it on Thursday 24th October.
Also if you'd like a primer on bibliotherapy first, you might find our Bibliotherapy, Literature and Mental Health online course helpful or our Children's Bibliotherapy Skills Online Course as well as our book, Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading.
And as always if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead :)
Warmly.

Founder & Bibliotherapist, Book Therapy
A big hello and thank you for reading! Passionate about literature, psychology, and life I launched Book Therapy as an alternative form of therapy using the power of literature.
I train mental health professionals, librarians, teachers as well as readers on using bibliotherapy in their own work through our online Bibliotherapy, Literature and Mental Health course.
We also curate reading lists/personalised book prescriptions for clients based on their individual needs. This is our signature personalised reading service.
You can also check out Book Therapy’s other free reading lists and A- Z of book prescriptions (covering both fiction and non-fiction). These suggest books based on your existing life situation (e.g. anxiety, job change, relationship heartache) as well as interests (e.g memoir, historical fiction, non-fiction, crime etc).
There’s also a Children’s A — Z of Book Prescriptions. Feel free to check out the blog for more literary gems. There’s also a post on my personal story of how I entered the world of bibliotherapy and book curation.In this role, I have had the opportunity to publish two books called Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading, and write various literary essays and pieces for newspapers and magazines.
I have undertaken bibliotherapy workshops for The United Nations, various libraries in New York and corporate organisations in the UK and US. My book recommendations have featured in the Guardian, Marie Claire, NBC News, Asian Voice, New York Observer, Sydney Telegraph and various other publications.
