Transformative for SO many aspects of life! Not only is this a great book to make improv come to life, but I have found its teachings to be applicable to the journey of healing from trauma. Yes and… is such a great way to move away from the all or nothing thinking that my clients often struggle with. Plus it has many applications for everyday life.
