Full of practical and accessible experiences, this is a wonderful gateway to reclaiming your creative soul while also being mindful of past traumas and moving forward in a gentle way.

That makes Process Not Perfection: Expressive Arts Solutions for Trauma Recovery such important reading. It's filled with lesser known but extremely important forms of therapeutic expression and comes complete with exercises, recommendations, summaries and ideas for everyone- from the therapy newbie to the person who's tried everything.-Anna David, New York Times Best Selling Author of Party Girl "Dr. Marich has managed to capture what other books have not-a practical guide for those who want a heart-felt, embodied approach to self-care and healing. In this highly readable volume, the author clearly and passionately explains the many ways expressive methods can help each of us to once again feel not only whole, but also alive in our own bodies. Trauma is healed only through our commitment to an inner journey of reparation. This book will support you in that journey and give you countless dynamic approaches to support your transformation of mind, body and spirit."-Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT, Director, Trauma Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute, Louisville, KY USA "Every line in this book shows Jamie's authenticity, her love of the human spirit, and the fact that she is a cheerleader for all of us to find our way back to the home that has always been inside of us. Thank you for showing us how to use the expressive arts as a tangible, concrete, safe, and step-by-step process back into the body. A great book for those in healing as well as healers from all backgrounds looking for new and creative ways to be of service."-Kamini Desai, PhD, Author of Yoga Nidra: The Art of Transformational Sleep Education Director, Amrit Yoga Institute
