In Cooking as Therapy, licensed clinical social worker and sous therapist Debra Borden provides you with all the tools and techniques to have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own kitchen. Cooking therapy is an experiential therapy that allows you to conduct a therapy session while you cook a meal. Using cooking processes like chopping, kneading, stirring, and more, you'll develop the skills to recognize limiting patterns and behaviors, improve self-esteem, and form healthy daily habits, and you might even have fun incorporating techniques centered around mindfulness -- which develops calm, metaphor -- which creates clarity, and mastery -- which sparks self-esteem. Luckily, you don't have to be a great cook to try cooking therapy -- or even like cooking. You only need an interest in self-exploration.
