The Healing Power of Writing
Watch my TEDx Talk and find out why writing things down can be therapeutic
The Healing Power of Writing
TEDxTownsville
I discovered the healing power of writing when nothing else helped to quell the pain of heartbreak and loss.
Writing down my thoughts and feelings allowed me to process my grief and to make myself whole again.
My journal was my lifesaver, best friend and on-call therapist. And it can be yours too.
Research shows that personal writing promotes healing, stress reduction, personal growth and inner peace. It can help us let go of old storylines and memories that keep us stuck so that we can write empowered new self narratives.
In my TEDx talk I share how we can all benefit from writing things down.
My forthcoming memoir, Loving My Lying, Dying, Cheating Husband (Affirm Press, 2024), tells the story of how I discovered the healing power of writing.
