Haitian-American therapist and author Helen Joseph, LMHC, is celebrating a remarkable milestone: her book, Healing What Words Won’t Reach: A Guide to Using Creativity to Heal Trauma Related to Who We Are, has soared to Amazon #1 Bestseller status in three categories.
This groundbreaking work is the first in a series aimed at guiding readers to explore creativity as a powerful tool for trauma recovery and self-expression.
A Transformative Approach to Healing
In Healing What Words Won’t Reach, Joseph draws on her expertise as an expressive arts therapist to explore how creativity can provide a pathway to understanding and overcoming trauma, especially when words fall short.
The book delves into identity-related challenges and offers a practical, inspiring guide for readers to connect with their creativity as a means of reclaiming their lives.
“Creativity gives us a way to make sense of experiences that feel too complex, layered, or painful to put into words,” says Joseph. “In light of the stress many communities have faced over the past few years, it’s crucial to prioritize mental health. This book is for those ready to explore their experiences and heal their pain.”
Tools for Healing
To enrich the reader’s journey, the book includes a companion Connecting to Creativity Workbook, available as a free download.
The workbook provides reflective exercises and creative prompts aligned with each chapter, making the book an interactive and engaging resource. Readers can also access online workshops, creativity tools, and community-building opportunities at HealingWhatWordsWontReach.com.
