Transform Your Health: Write to Heal™

 

This is a 6-week* expressive writing course that I'm deeply honored to lead. As a participant in this program in 2017, I credit expressive writing with helping me heal from my own significant emotional experiences, leaving one career, and essentially starting a new life.

​

*Course can also be adapted as a weekend intensive or other format. Can be used 1:1 or in a group setting.

​

Each week, we’ll focus on a different aspect of cultivating resilience and healing. You're invited to write about the aspects of a particular situation or incident that’s happened in your career or personal life that’s been most challenging for you.

​

The supplies you'll need:

​

• Dedicated notebook

• Favorite pen

• Timer

• 1-1.5 hours a week (can be split up for each prompt or as desired)

 

The tools we will use include:

​

Expressive writing, transactional writing, poetic writing, affirmative writing,

legacy writing, and mindful writing.

​

Each week will include 3-5 different prompts. All of your own writing will remain confidential.

​

We will meet by video-conference on Zoom three times during the six weeks to explore the concepts and prompts more in depth, and allow you to get more out of this experience.

​

Some of the benefits of intentional writing:

​

• Creates vision and sets intentions

• Clarifies values

• Stimulates thinking that leads to insights and understanding

• Changes perspective and perception

• Facilitates mindfulness practice

• Expresses and defines readiness to change

• Clarifies importance and builds confidence

• Removes obstacles to build confidence and resilience

• Measures progress

• Encourages staying on track

• Affirms strengths

• Communicates and builds gratitude, empathy, and compassion

• Creates and supports joy and opportunities to flourish

Cost of the program depends on structure of course, independent or with facilitator discussion, online vs. in-person, number of participants, and audience.
