{"product_id":"drawing-your-stress-away","title":"Drawing Your Stress Away","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Drawing Your Stress Away and Hello, This Is Your Body Talking, art therapist and educator Dr. Lucia Capacchione presents a new concept in adult coloring: the draw-it-yourself coloring book. Forty years ago, Capacchione originated the Creative Journal Method to help clients and students reduce stress, heal trauma, and unleash creativity. Since then, her research-based techniques have been used internationally in schools, counseling centers, support groups, addiction recovery centers, and programs for veterans.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrawing Your Stress Away and Hello, This Is Your Body Talking are a wonderful introduction to Capacchione’s methods which include drawing, coloring, and writing with the non-dominant hand to help the user shed inhibitions and rediscover the artistic spontaneity of childhood. Capacchione gently guides readers to use drawing for meditation, stress release, and self-care. In Hello, This Is Your Body Talking, simple breathing, drawing, and writing prompts encourage physical awareness and relaxation. Drawing Your Stress Away helps reduce tension through emotional expression, self-nurturing, and artistic discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnlike traditional coloring books, which require fine motor control in highly detailed predetermined patterns, Capacchione’s “anti-coloring books” provide the inspiration for users to make their own art, tune out their inner critics, and take the training wheels off their natural creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lucia Capacchione","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53614485995900,"sku":"9780804011860","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780804011860_fac6b238-ef2f-4789-9a58-636abc9b8e79.jpg?v=1727079358","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/drawing-your-stress-away","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
