Your Words Your Voice is an invitation to write from your heart. It is an exercise in poetry therapy but more so in slowing down to listen to your own words and give them a voice. This booklet can be used as a place to write your words. It gives you a capsule of poetry therapy and it invites you to an entire new world. A world where you have a therapist with you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

A simple invitation to look ahead and look with in.

"Poetry Therapist A poetry therapist who believes words and voice can be instrumental in the healing process Dr Amidi holds a Masters Degree in Family, Marriage and Child Counseling Psychology from College of Notre Dame and a PhD from Catholic University in Educational Psychology. She completed her Certification in Poetry Therapy at the California based Institute for Poetic Medicine. Dr. Amidi has shared the tremendous potential of Poetry Therapy on the prestigious TEDx platform with people from all over the world. Dr. Amidi has spent many years in the USA and the Middle East working with youth, ladies in safe houses, victims of human trafficking and men in labor camps. She regularly holds poetry sessions, workshops and seminars for poetic expression and healing in the community and at universities and schools. She has also worked in the Silicon Valley with groups of high tech professionals in international companies. The common factor is always a piece of paper, a pen and a way into the heart. The results are often a drop of tear, a flash of insight, a smile and a self-sustained journey on the path of healing. Currently Dr. Amidi lives in Washington DC, and is bringing poetry therapy to Sibley Hospital that is a part of Johns Hopkins Medicine. Poetry Therapy has become a wonderful addition to the Integrative Health Department at Sibley Hospital with weekly writing sessions that are open to doctors, nurses, administrative personal, and patients, and care givers. There has been wonderful response to these sessions and many people have come back for more writing and healing. Dr. Amidi's mission is to offer ""poetry therapy in a capsule"" and make it accessible and available to people of all ages and backgrounds worldwide.
