**"Bibliotherapy" has been soaring in popularity as a means of improving people's wellbeing. But getting it right depends on the book, and the person.**

#Reading can support mental health too.

A systematic review of randomized clinical trials found that #bibliotherapy (structured reading used in treatment) can reduce depressive symptoms and may have lasting benefits.

#Books are not a replacement for care when someone needs help, but they can be a real part of healing.

Finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, it was a difficult read for deeply personal reasons. Like Theo, I lost my mother and father at around the same age.

Tartt shows the aftermath of trauma - and the many ways people try to numb it: addiction, depression, lies, escape. None of it really heals the wound.

It’s a long, powerful, deeply human novel - the kind of book that stays with you. Perfect for #bookclub discussions, and maybe even for #bibliotherapy.

I wonder if this is why cosplay is so compelling? Acting?

Make art.

Why I love Mercy Thompson and Dresden Files urban fantasy books?

Watching The Witchblade? Her deep-voiced long howling screachrage holler as blade shoots out of gauntleted hand?

Reading, watching, acting out conflict sequences to physiologically resolve stress response in body so it doesn't hang around in body causing physical harm?
