You deserve to feel better
Sometimes it can be difficult to stay grounded through life's challenges, and sometimes it can even be difficult to enjoy its high points. In The Art of Feeling Better, Matilda Heindow, illustrator behind the much-loved Instagram @crazyheadcomics, takes us from her first therapy visit when she was struggling to the day she woke with joy in her heart again, to reveal the techniques, tools and ways of thinking that really helped.
Complete with over 50 original illustrations, Matilda shares personal stories and down-to-earth advice to help you understand:
- How to turn that negative inner voice into a friend
- How to recognise the habits that put you on a downward spiral
- What to do with difficult feelings, so that you invite better ones in
Like a hand holding yours, this beautiful, comforting book will remind you, even in your darkest moments, to treat yourself like someone worth taking care of - because you are.
