Writing Therapy

Writing Therapy

Writing therapy is a form of expressive writing that is used for healing and transformation. Writing about difficult events can sometimes feel less overwhelming than talking about them.

Writing therapy can help to make order from what feels like inner chaos. Writing as therapy about loss, stress, and trauma can support your healing process. Written therapy can help you to process difficult events that may be too painful to talk about, or events that you’re not quite sure how to talk about.

Writing therapy can be helpful for:

• Increasing self-awareness and self-compassion
• Loss and grief
• Stress
• Coping with chronic illness
• Making meaning from difficult times

Written Therapy

Written therapy has been shown to improve mood and overall health and wellbeing. It can support us in increasing self-awareness, exploring our identity, reflecting on the difficult events of our lives as well as the good times of our lives, and making meaning from our lives.

Writing therapy practices allow us to see our experience from a new perspective. Perspective taking can help us to relate with past experiences from a more mindful and objective stance and can be healing.

Written therapy allows us to see ourselves and our lives from a more objective perspective and can help us to see our strengths more clearly. It can help us to relate with ourselves with kindness and self-compassion.

You don’t have to be a writer or have writing experience to benefit from writing therapy. You will receive structured writing prompts from a writing therapist to support you in the process.

Through writing, we change our relationship to trauma, for we gain confidence in ourselves and in our ability to handle life’s difficulties.

Writing for Wellness Coaching

Writing for wellness coaching may be helpful if you have concerns that you would like to write about but don’t necessarily have mental health concerns that require therapy.

Writing for wellness coaching offers a supportive experience in writing for healing and transformation. It can facilitate increased self-awareness, shift your perspective, and transform difficult experiences into meaning and purpose.

As we manipulate the words on the page, as we articulate to ourselves and to others the emotional truth of our pasts, we become agents for our own healing.

You don’t have to be a writer or have writing experience to participate in writing for wellness coaching. The process is similar to journaling except that you’re writing in a particular way in response to prompts.

Jen offers writing for wellness coaching and writing therapy services.

I’ve had many wounds to heal, and I’ve done much writing to heal them, and in the process I’ve discovered a rich, deeply textured life I hadn’t before recognized.

Louise DeSalvo

Writing therapy can help us to see our experiences from different perspectives, which can also support healing. When we write about difficult experiences, it helps us to process trauma and difficult events and shape the stories about those events into a healing narrative.

But feeling isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s your survival. It’s your soul life. It’s your truth. And without it, your art, your life, your writing will be generic – anybody’s voice. With it, your work will be authentic, powerful — your voice.
