Deniz İlaslan

Born in 1996 in Turkey, her talent for expressing herself through writing began to stand out alongside her educational journey. She quickly achieved success in various composition and essay topics. After graduating from the Department of Psychology at Eastern Mediterranean University in 2020, she returned to Turkey and received cognitive behavioral therapy training under the guidance of Prof. Dr. M. Hakan Türkçapar. Before starting to write about Mindfulness, Ilaslan received Expressive Art Therapy training from Dr. Malchiodi and later Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training. To support these areas of interest with science, she developed herself in the fields of Neuropsychology and Abnormal Psychology. After the Kahramanmaraş earthquake on February 6, 2023, she volunteered as a psychologist in the Psychosocial Solidarity Network in collaboration with the Turkish Psychological Association. While actively working at a psychological counseling center, the author aims to accompany her readers as a lighthouse on their journey of self-discovery through her writings.
