Feelings: A Therapeutic Coloring Book for Grown-Ups Yolanda Hawkins-Rodgers

Remember, when you were young, how you'd sit and draw and color to melt the time away? well, here it is! Feelings: A Therapeutic Coloring Book for Grown-Ups is meant to be played with in the same way, at your leisure. It presents adult situations you yourself may have encountered while recuperating, and it does so in order to help you release tensions that sometimes arise during the healing process. At home, in the hospital, or at rehab, Feelings offers a chance to get in touch with the child in you. You can use any color medium you like or can lay your hands on--colored pencils, markers, crayons, ink pens, or dry or wet gouache. These pictures (and the extra blank pages at the end of the book that are meant for you to draw your own scenes) offer you an opportunity to take your mind off the situation you're stuck in and maybe even find a bit of humor and perspective in what may seem an overwhelming situation. you can be as careful as you like and choose your colors with great care, or you can color right over the lines! you make the scenes look realistic or invent brand-new ones. So relax, express yourself, and enjoy!
