Since the dawn of time, stories have helped humanity to process their darkest fears. They have inspired hope, carved a pathway forward in our minds, helped us gain understanding, and made heroes and heroines of us all.

We invite people to read these stories simply for the pleasure of reading.

However, we know that reading or writing transformational fairy tales and folk tales, through metaphor and the transformational story arcs, can help us on the healing journey.

Reading, working with, or writing your own Healing Fairy Tales are not, however, a substitute for working with a trained and accredited therapist.

Readers may choose to use the suggestions and guidance given at the end of each story or not. If you choose to follow the suggestions given, you do so at your own risk.

If you are under psychiatric care with a licensed medical practitioner, please always take the advice of that professional first and foremost. If you find one of these stories helpful you might like to share it with your therapist and to discuss what it was you found illuminating or helpful. If you find the comments and suggestions accompany any given story unhelpful, please do not follow them.

In the unlikely event that a story or the broad and generalized therapeutic guidance is given, results in a reaction or overwhelming emotional response, please contact an accredited therapist, your own physician, therapist or psychiatrist, or find a medical practitioner or therapist licensed to practice in your country, region or state. All our contributing therapists include their own contact details. We are neither recommending nor endorsing these therapists and any professional relationship you form with any of our contributing therapists is independent of The Healing Fairy Tale Garden.

If you would like to contact any of the therapists, please do check their training, accreditations and insurance status independently before commencing treatment, and ensure that he or she is licensed to practice in your country or region.
