Letters to You

This beautiful gift package book offers letters to provide support, information, encouragement and tips on practical help for anyone experiencing low moments.

Letters to You was designed to be read not just once or in order, letter by letter, but to be used repeatedly as a tool when you encounter difficult emotions and experiences, to help you feel less alone.

The concept is based on something that aided Jazz Thornton in her own journey towards mental health. A good friend wrote her a set of letters, each in a separate labelled envelope. Every letter was specifically designed to help combat a particular feeling or situation, and Jazz revisited them many times.

Following this model, each chapter in the book is in the form of a letter, covering a range of emotions and situations, including:

• To read when you are feeling anxious
• To read when you are feeling guilty
• To read when you are having suicidal thoughts
• To read when you are having trouble with food
• To read when you have the urge to self-harm
• To read when you are struggling to sleep

It also includes letters:

• To read if you are a parent
• To read if you have a friend who is struggling
• To read if you are afraid to see your doctor for help

The book includes practical tips from a practising psychologist, a list of places to get help, and a toolbox of handy skills to use when in distress.
