Finding Your Voice Through Creativity:
The Art and Journaling Workbook for Disordered Eating

Carlsbad, California—Art is one of the most powerful inroads to psychological well being, which is why the pages of the new workbook Finding Your Voice Through Creativity: The Art and Journaling Workbook for Disordered Eating literally serve as a canvas for healing.

The book is designed with a “lay flat” binding and extra-heavy paper so readers can express themselves directly on the pages. It is organized into 58 expressive art projects and corresponding journal writing exercises that address specific stages of self-discovery related to disordered eating. Each task builds on the one that precedes it and is a foundation for the next.

A wide variety of topics are explored, including body image issues, relationships, life skills, emotions, self-love, personal transformation, and the relationship to food. Some of the tasks identify positive ways to manage stress and develop better ways to assert needs. Others will make clearer the origins of food and body image struggles, and reveal reasons why individuals continue to embrace unhealthy coping patterns. All use the creative process to lead readers toward discovering their inner voice and listening to what it has to say.

Written by board-certified art psychotherapists who specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, Finding Your Voice Through Creativity is an innovative workbook for anyone who wants to explore their relationship with food and their bodies in a new way. It can be used for independent self-discovery, or to complement professional therapy in both individual and group settings.
