Feel-Good Stories

This book was written not to put children to sleep, but to awaken both the reader and the listener. Every sentence you will find in the book has been chosen to either increase your awareness of the problem you are facing or to activate your child's self-capacity to cope with this problem. The metaphors used in the stories are the manifestation of the unconscious. It is aimed to reveal the self-healing power of the psyche with cognitive interventions interspersed among the stories, such as the healing of a wound in your body with a great effort, spontaneously but without your knowledge. In this way, it is expected that the metaphorical stories will create strong bridges between thought and emotion and change the perspective of the reader and the listener.

“In this book, you will not only find stories that are written in a fluid, intelligent and creative language and that are enjoyable to read, but also gain scientific knowledge about the topics of these stories, and you will better understand these difficulties that children frequently encounter. You will also reach basic information such as how to create healing stories in these difficult situations and how to use metaphors in them. I believe that this book will be read in one breath with Hakan's written language that I admire, and that it will be announced as a bedside book by every adult, from parents to teachers and experts, who are together with the child. “
