The Character's Toolkit
Marisa GelfandIn every episode, therapist (and reader!) Marisa Gelfand chats with novelists and therapists to explore the mental health struggles of fictional characters. Think, bibliotherapy: mental health with a literary twist. Characters in books and literature don't have access to a therapist's insights, but you do, and you walk away with the skills.
