GROUP WORK SKILLS
This book is designed for individuals looking to develop experiential skills and process models in group facilitation. It offers a wealth of practical tools, including facilitation techniques, art therapy exercises, creative experiments, and real-world examples to support your journey in working effectively with groups.
Drawing on the author’s extensive experience teaching group facilitation at universities in Canada, Europe, and Australia—as well as conducting experiential workshops worldwide—this book serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking to refine their group process skills.
I dedicate this book to the many students, colleagues, managers, lecturers, supervisors, and teachers who have participated in my workshops. It is also a tribute to my two sons, who will gain insight into my life’s work.

At its core, The Princess and the Dragon explores the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies within relationships, regardless of sexual orientation.

COLOURING BOOK
just for RELAXING - Animals
by Gemma Garcia
This is a book to be used when you are feeling stressed, bored, or not inspired.
This book is not an Art Therapy book.
I am a Gestalt Art Therapist and Co-Director of The Gestalt Art Therapy Centre (Australia) and I would like to explain to you that colouring books could be helpful when you feel upset or sad, but if you need more emotional support and therapy, I suggest you participate in some Gestalt Art Therapy sessions, not just colouring.

Autism and Masking
How and Why People Do It, and the Impact It Can Have
Authors: FELICITY SEDGEWICK, LAURA HULL &
HELEN ELLIS
Autistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in. So-called 'masking' is a social survival strategy used by autistic people in situations where neurodiversity is not understood or welcomed. While this is a commonly observed phenomenon in the autistic community, the complexities of masking are still not widely understood.
This book combines the latest research with personal case studies detailing autistic experiences of masking. It explains what masking is and the various strategies used to mask in social situations. The research also delves into the psychology behind masking and the specifics of masking at school, at social events with peers, and at work. The book looks at the consequences of masking, including the toll it can have on mental and physical health, and suggests guidance for family, professionals, and employers to ameliorate negative effects.
With a diverse range of voices, including perspectives across gender, ethnicity and age, this is the comprehensive guide to masking and how to support autistic people who mask.
