“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

So, what I think is so special about what we're doing is it is truly a holistic multimodal way of healing. And that is so important because we are not just one thing. We are not just one person. We have so many different roles and so many different pieces of ourselves that for true transformational healing to occur, we need to look at all of those pieces of ourselves and work on healing each piece. And so there's the physical aspect of our physical body. There's the creative aspect of our creative parts of our brain. There's the talking it out. There's the analytical parts of our brain. There's the writing to help ourselves express ourselves. You know, it's physical, it's emotional, it's spiritual, it's everything. And so if we just focus on one mode of healing, one way of healing, we leave a whole host of other parts of ourselves untouched and unsoothed and unhealed. And that's definitely, you know, something that we want to do is to look at ourselves as a whole. And I think that that is so important. And so transformational when we finally accept and love every single part of ourselves and see every single part of ourselves and hold space for every single part of ourselves. And that's when we really truly step in to who we are meant to be.
Many of us have long been conditioned to be silent, polite. To mask our emotions and present a carefully curated version of ourselves to the world. Through emotional writing, we allow ourselves the opportunity to peel away those masks and acknowledge the feelings that we’ve shoved into the dusty corners of our mind.
Writing is also a way for us to make sense of things that have happened to us — exploring our inner narratives heals us as we identify and express our emotions. I know that writing has helped me in my journey of finding wholeness and connectedness after trauma, and I have witnessed the way writing allows others to discover and voice their stories.
As an Emotional Writing Coach, I can support you in any of your creative goals: story telling, composing poetry, journaling, emotional healing, processing grief and loss, editing, publishing, and more!
