Krista Wissing-Harrison

Krista, in collaboration with art therapist Midge Casler, offered a 10-12 week poetry/art therapy group adapted to the cognitive, behavioral and emotional needs of people affected by brain injury. The Rediscovery Project was rooted in “The Hero’s Journey” as described by Joseph Campbell.

Ideas for writing themes included: creating meaning out of tragedy, rediscovering one’s sense of self and purpose, inner resources and wisdom, loss and hope, coping with change. The Rediscovery Project was funded for two years and was sponsored by the Brain Injury Network of Larkspur, CA.
