Description
Step into a transformative experience with Guila Clara Kessous, PhD—executive coach, UNESCO Artist for Peace, and a leading authority on bibliotherapy. This exclusive session at the French Library invites you to explore the powerful intersection of literature and healing. Bibliotherapy, a therapeutic approach rooted in the pioneering work of Sadie Delaney Peterson, who in the 1930s used reading to treat war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress, offers a unique method to foster emotional well-being through the power of books. In this engaging and interactive talk, Kessous will explore the connection between reading and emotional intelligence. You'll discover how the right book, read aloud, can evoke emotions, foster empathy, and serve as a potent tool for personal growth and mental health. Whether you're seeking new ways to enrich your life or are academically interested in the therapeutic applications of literature, this session promises to reshape your understanding of how books can heal. This session is not just an event—it’s a unique opportunity to engage with an extraordinary figure whose work and insights could very well change your life. This presentation will be followed by a Q&A and a glass of wine. In person event in English. sorry no refund
