In this episode of Bibliotherapy with Bijal Shah, we explore how the shared experience of reading can become a profound path to healing. From grief support circles to juvenile justice programs and women's shelters, I share examples of settings where group bibliotherapy can be incredibly impactful. Discover how stories can break isolation, build empathy, and foster collective resilience.Whether you're a therapist, educator, or simply a book lover, this episode will inspire you to see literature as a bridge—not just to understanding yourself, but each other.
