They say every writer needs a therapist. Now, thanks to The Writer's Portable Therapist, you can have your therapy (less the hourly charge)--and write the Great American Novel, too.

In this inspiring, instructive little volume, noted therapist, author, and perfect muse Rachel "Doc Hollywood" Ballon, Ph.D., sits on your shoulder whispering just the right thing at just the right time. Each chapter is a therapy session tackling a different aspect of the writing life--from conquering "Page Fright" and the perils/pleasures of solitude to tapping into your sub-conscious and nurturing the writer within.

So, lie down on Dr. Rachel Ballon's couch, and send your creativity--and productivity--soaring!
