literature therapy

Literature therapy uses reading and discussion of texts—such as novels, poems, or stories—to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It provides a safe space to reflect, gain insight, and develop coping skills by connecting personal issues with themes in literature. This therapeutic approach encourages self-awareness, empathy, and emotional expression, fostering personal growth and healing. It can be tailored to address specific mental health concerns or life challenges, making literature a powerful tool for understanding oneself and navigating life's complexities.
