Contributor Notes
Audrey Jolly combines her psychotherapy practice in Toronto with a boundary-crossing parallel career as a visual artist, performing artist and writer. With an MA in dance and psychology from York University, she has been a teacher and explorer of the creative process for more than 30 years. What she learned about the healing power of creativity informs her work with clients--and inspired this book. She is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a clinical member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists.
