The Art of Feeling Better: How I heal my mental health (and you can too)

‘Matilda finds the perfect way to describe those human moments nobody talks about’ - Dr Julie Smith, bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

We all have a mental health. You deserve to give it the care it needs.

Life throws us challenges. It can be difficult to stay grounded through its low points and truly experience its highs. By the age of 20, Matilda Heindow had ‘been there and got the therapy’ through more than her fair share of mental health struggles - but when she shared her experiences as @crazyheadcomics, she realised she was not alone.

In The Art of Feeling Better, Matilda takes us from her first therapy visit to the day she woke with joy in her heart again, to reveal the techniques, tools and ways of thinking that really helped. In over 50 original illustrations, accompanied by Matilda’s personal stories and down-to-earth advice, she will teach you how to turn that negative inner voice into a friend, how to recognise the habits that put you on a downward spiral and what to do with difficult feelings, so that you invite better ones in.

Like a hand holding yours, this nurturing handbook will remind you, even in your darkest moments, to treat yourself like someone worth taking care of - because you are.
