Learn how to harness the power of cooking therapy, a powerful tool to improve self-esteem, form healthy habits, and cultivate calm, with recipes and step-by-step instructions.

In Cooking As Therapy, licensed clinical social worker and Sous Therapist Debra Borden provides you with all the tools and techniques to have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Using this simple yet powerful 3M curriculum, you’ll develop the skills to recognize limiting patterns and behaviors, improve self-esteem, and form healthy daily habits, and you might even have fun incorporating techniques centered around mindfulness–which develops calm, metaphor–which creates clarity, and mastery–which sparks self-esteem.

Luckily, you don’t have to be a great cook to try cooking therapy–or even like cooking. You only need an interest in self-exploration. Borden will teach you the processes involved in preparing a recipe or meal that trigger awareness and even “aha” moments. Unlike talk therapy, cooking therapy sessions incorporate tangible acts. It is less about what you prepare and more of a guided journey to self-reflection through how you prepare a dish.
