Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dr. Vaughan delivers a welcome tool to make it easier for patients and practitioners to identify and heal from depression. I highly recommend the Depression Relief Journal. I've referred countless patients to Dr. Vaughan over two decades with great results―we are all lucky to have this tool!" ―Ashley Koff, RD, award-winning personalized nutrition expert and founder of The Better Nutrition Program

"In Depression Relief Journal, Dr. Maggie Vaughan offers invaluable guidance and practical tools to help individuals move beyond the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that underlie depression. Using creative prompts, mindfulness, and journaling, this book guides individuals to transform the often unruly chaos of difficult inner emotions into a constructive narrative that is generative, creative, and full of meaning. I highly recommend this book to anybody who has ever struggled with difficult emotions, which is every human being!" ―Dr. Anna Yusim, clinical instructor, psychiatrist, founder of Upper East Side Psychiatry, and author of Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life

"This journal is an excellent tool for individuals who find themselves struggling with their emotions and don't know how to effectively express or relieve them. As a psychotherapist in private practice for over 20 years, I will definitely recommend this journal to my clients." ―Sarah Brokaw, psychotherapist, professional certified coach, and author of Fortytude: Making the Decades the Best Years of Your Life-Through Your Forties, Fifties and Beyond

"Dr. Vaughan's Depression Relief Journal is an accessible, solution-oriented, and connected approach to treating depression. People who struggle with depression, as well as people who want to become more connected to their thoughts and feelings, can find hope and inspiration through the activities. In addition, therapists can easily use the activities with their clients to broaden understanding. The vulnerability and honesty Dr. Vaughn shows in the opening segment puts the reader at ease. I am excited to play with the journal in both my personal and professional life." ―Michelle W. Canarick, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist

Dr. Vaughn’s clinical expertise in and around depression and mindfulness is second to none. Practical, insightful and hands on, I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of the book and read it start to finish. Using simple but effective exercises, Dr. Vaughn offers a tool kit for how to work through anxiety, stress and depression. I enjoyed how easy it was to employ and engage with her techniques. I also found her approach and writing to be easy to apply and understand. I plan to share many of these techniques and exercises with my kids and father. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning and enabling themselves with excellent self care tools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, effective journal
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022
As a believer in therapy who knows how art and writing can alleviate my mood and give me perspective, I picked up Maggie Vaughan's journal, intrigued. This book exceeded my expectations, from the thoughtfully written introduction describing depression and ways to alleviate it to the varied exercises. As someone with some ADHD, I took the author' s advice and didn't gobble it whole in one sitting, I did one exercise a day. The drawing exercises at first glance look simple but when I sat down and actually did them, I was surprised how they centered me and gave me a lovely moment to self-reflect in a chaotic day. Some of my favorite exercises include drawing a crown on a rooster's head, writing an apology letter, notes to myself about self-care (I'm a working mom with two kids so these reminders are essential), drawing a person in my life who struggles, writing a recipe for happiness and so many others. I highly recommend this insightful, thoughtful and yes, fun journal for not only those who suffer from depression but anyone with a pulse who has stressors, fears and conflicts to resolve. Thank you for creating this unique journal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022
I really love this book! I’m a therapist, and I use some of the journaling prompts with clients. I also made photocopies of some of the pages that have longer explanations of the prompts, since the author does a great job of explaining the reasoning for certain exercises. There are also some lovely art exercises in here too. I know the book is geared towards depression, but I think many of the activities are relatable even if you are not experiencing depression and just want to take some time for yourself. You could even use this as a journal if you prefer structure when you write and reflect!
I’ll probably order a couple more copies to give out at the office. It’s a great resource! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful In Its Compassion for Those Suffering in the Darkness
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
The Depression Relief Journal goes deep and wide to touch the heart, soul, and spirit of the person suffering depression. This book is vital for healing in our present moment of isolation, fears, anxiety, and global tension that leads the brain to darkness and despair. Each page has its wisdom, practical application, and focused exercises guiding the depressed to hope, gratefulness, and enlightenment of what might be for them in their journeys alone and with others. This book is a gift for those suffering and wanting help and a hand to guide them out of the dark valley of life and into the light.
