Dylan is proud to have worked with the following amazing organisations, schools and emergency service branches:
Impact of Bibliotherapy
Reading reduces stress by up to 68% and is almost 300% more effective than going for a walk to reduce cortisol.
Books can contribute to your social life. Staying social has big benefits including preventing isolation, which is a risk factor for depression and dementia.
It offers relaxation, stimulation, knowledge and self-development, new perspectives on life and inspiration.
Unguided self-help through bibliotherapy can produce improvement for individuals with social anxiety disorder.
Reading helps us to mentally slow down, relax physically and put as at ease, priming us for a restful night's sleep.
Reading has been shown to increase empathy. This allows us to show greater care for one another and increases our communication ability as well.
Psychologists often utilise self-help books with their patients to offer further support between sessions.
Books are cost effective, elicit positive responses from patients and allow for improved patient self-management.
