Therapeutic Power of Books...

Hello!
A book is a deep well, a vast sea, a lonely city, a vast sky.

A book is a faithful companion, a compass that points in the right direction.

Unfortunately, the habit of reading books, which is tried to be instilled since childhood, cannot be sustained by everyone. Not everyone can recognize this beautiful feeling.

When I'm bored, the first thing that comes to my mind is reading a book, because the silence of the book heals me more than people's voices.

When I'm sleep deprived, it's like my bedside book sings me a lullaby, I fall into a deep sleep because it calms my soul.

These are the habits that are good for me that I noticed by myself, but do you know that the book is a treatment method in psychology?

Book Treatment

Short for "bibliotherapy"

Goals of Book Therapy:

To enable the person to understand their emotional problems,

To be able to hold a mirror to the mental state he is in.

To help him overcome the situations that create incompatibility with life,

Information finds you when you need it!

Your adventure begins when you meet the book that will meet your needs!

Bibliotherapy says, “As soon as you pick up the right book, you actually start to heal yourself!

The main theme of this therapy is that the individual solves the issues that he has difficulty in confronting in this world he enters by reading, through the determined techniques.

Most of the time, individuals can make successful applications with videos and similar materials as well as books.

As soon as the person can establish a dynamic relationship with the book, the therapeutic process begins, where the person begins a sincere process where he does not feel threatened.

This process has three stages;

Identification and reflection,

Purification, relaxation, “peace felt through the discharge of the excitement felt by going down to the emotions of the traumatic events and remembering them again”

Insight, integration

preparation phase;

In order for these processes to work properly, it is important to get a book recommendation from an expert or, if there is no such chance, to examine the professional expertise of the author.

Also, it is not necessarily thought that popular names succeed in spelling.

Because although it is not popular in the field of education-psychology, it should be kept in mind that there are academicians who have devoted their years to this work!

In order for the person to understand himself during the bibliotherapy treatment process,

It is aimed to be able to “manage their emotions”.

For this, it is aimed to "recognize his feelings, know what he feels, live his inner life correctly, know what he wants".

In the bibliotherapy treatment process, the person may come face to face with the emotional problems that he defines as a problem.

Every problem he faces can create positive changes and developments.

With the Management of Emotions;

He will experience coping with emotional problems that may arise at any moment, and will pave the way for him to approach problems in different ways.

He will be able to treat his emotional injuries. Because he will discover feelings that he was not aware of.

In the bibliotherapy process, sometimes a person can discover some of his feelings.

The individual, who finds the feelings that he cannot name and learns that these feelings can be met in line with his needs, can get positive results as a result of therapy.

The bibliotherapy process is a treatment approach in which many problems can be resolved psychologically.

By realizing that they are not alone in many problems, it also helps individuals approach a solution without isolating themselves from the outside world.
