Recenzijas
"The process of healing is the product, and her work guides us in the process, presenting us with tools for change." "Beginning with The Creative Journal, Capacchione has been a powerful champion of the therapeutic potential of keeping one's own drawing journal. In [ her books] she discusses her personal journey and how journaling has facilitated her growth and development. This intimate touch engages readers and offers them permission to tell their stories through working in their journals." (Art Therapy) "I think both drawing and writing encourage a fundamental need that we have for self-expression. There may be an added benefit to writing in that it translates experiences into languagewhich helps the person to resolve a trauma more quickly." "Lucia Capacchione's workshop was a powerful tool on my healing journey. She shares her insights and gives you the opportunity to heal your relationship with your inner child." "[ Capacchione] not only helps to bring out the best, but helps to discover that there is a best that is worth bringing out."
