About the Resilience Journal™
The Resilience Journal™ is a research-based therapeutic model designed to provide a unique and creative way of expressing one’s inner world.
It supports personal growth, emotional processing, and the discovery of new resources.
Using the Resilience Journal, participants can embark on a journey of emotional processing, resilience-building, and rewriting their life narrative. This model incorporates non-verbal tools such as art, writing, nature, and mindfulness, making it particularly effective in cases where verbal communication is challenging.
By integrating the principles of Expressive Arts Therapy, the Resilience Journal helps in addressing trauma, facilitating emotional and cognitive transformation (decentering), and fostering resilience.

Participant Recommendations
"The course with Leetal was deeply significant for me, both professionally and personally. I’ve started working with the journal in my clinic with my clients.
I feel that working with the journal has given me permission to work with bibliotherapy in a present and free manner in the clinic, moving fluidly between conversation, writing, and art. Leetal lives and breathes art therapy and the work with the journal, and she succeeds in instilling the joy and passion for working with it, even in those who are very apprehensive about working with art... I highly recommend the course! Today, I even mentioned it to participants in my own course... Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of this course."
Dr. Lior Granit, Bibliotherapist
"I signed up for this course specifically to work in the clinic and I feel that I left with a completely therapeutic tool. Not only was it excellent, fun and interesting but it is a practical tool to use with patients. This tool works especially well when words cannot be used. It was a shame it was over, I could have continued more. This tool definitely has a lot meaning.
Keren Boham, Clinical Psychologist
"This course excellent.
This tool completely surprised me.
In every lesson, I learned something new about myself, and through reflection, I managed to bring things out and be completely without thought, to be in an unknown place, and afterward, make connections to life.
Leetal's guidance was wonderful and so professional; I wouldn't change a thing!
I took this course for myself because that's how I learn best. I try it on myself, and it had a big impact on me.
It's absolutely a course for personal empowerment, self-care both for myself and for my patients.
I can see how this could work in the clinic.
In short, it really opened my mind. Thank you!"
Dr.Gil Levi, Clinical Psychologist
My Approach
Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary art therapy experience and my research in developing the resilience journal tool during my PhD studies, I am driven to share transformative insights with the world.
The Art Sense program is tailored for therapists or therapy students eager to integrate expressive arts into their practice. Offering a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, this program enhances therapeutic journeys for both clients and practitioners.
Multidisciplinary art has a profound ability to connect and heal, often bypassing verbal communication to touch individuals at their core, making it an invaluable addition to any therapeutic toolkit.
