On January 21, at 7:00 p.m., at the Peterborough Showplace Cogeco Studio Theatre, the Lakefield Literary Festival will present a special event in partnership with Bell Let’s Talk Day. With Lakeland Public Health’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Thomas Piggott, author and psychotherapist Kate Robson will launch her new book, Something to Hold Onto: Simple Metaphors, Images, and Practical Tools to Transform Your Life, in a conversation moderated by international best-selling author Jennifer Robson.
Kate’s book offers metaphors to reframe our thinking and explore while encouraging us to be curious, attentive, and intentional as we adopt new and creative ways to navigate discomfort and adversity. She asks us to consider the value in deciding that which we should hold tight and what could be let go. The forward in Robson’s book, published by Simon & Schuster, is written by her close friend, Academy Award winning screenwriter, director, actor, and bestselling author Sarah Polley.
