You've watched the show. You enjoyed her stories. Now, you can experience Ko Mun-Yeong's fairy tales working in your life.
Stories and fairy tales are powerful forms of communication. They inform, influence and inspire. They can also be therapeutic. Apart from seeing our issues in another angle, stories often teach us how to, or not to, go about our lives. They show us different ways of problem-solving, and ignite our imagination to possible outcomes we can work towards to. Stories provide us with hope for change.
This book provides handles and insights on how the Ko Mun-Yeong stories can facilitate healing from our past hurts and emotional wounds. It can be used as a self-help guide or, if you are a therapist, as part of your toolkit for your work.

A Personal Note From The Author:This book blends 15 years of my experience as a therapist, coach and trainer supporting people through issues such as anger, depression, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Apart from the usual 'talk therapy' and counselling, I often incorporate experiential approaches in my practice.
I found the use of simple stories and fairy tales to be an effective form of raising awareness of psychological, emotional and behavioural issues. Depending on our personal experiences, we can relate one way or another to certain characters. The plot can also remind us of certain situations we are facing in our lives. That's why I developed the EDIT method in 2017 to guide my clients and participants to reflect therapeutically on stories. And I am excited to share this method with you in this very book.
After watching It's Okay To Not Be Okay, I was intrigued by the Ko Mun-Yeong fairy tales. And I got inspired to put together this self-help guide for you. I hope that as you apply the EDIT method on her stories, it will help you heal the pain and regain a sense of control over your situation.
