Why read it?
1 author picked Superhero Therapy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Stories of comic book superheroes resonate in real life and this book vibed with me in a big way.
There are so many superhero origin stories that begin with childhood trauma. I loved this book because Janina Scarlet cleverly explores ways to improve mental health in younger folks with the healing power of superheroes. In so doing she probably prevents the emergence of a few more superheroes or supervillains but she helps so many along the way.
Scarlet wields her great power with responsibility in a read for all of us.
From E.'s list on the superhero in you.
