Book Description

This book is an example of applying the proven principles of Therapeutic writing found on www.therapeutic-writing.co.uk . Everyone can write, especially their own story. Have you thought about writing your story? Do you have memories from your past that keep influencing your present? You don’t need to be a prolific writer or even a writer at all, to benefit from writing therapy. The past if not dealt with clearly can have negative influence on the present and the future. Not all of us have access to or can afford professional counsellors to have one to one sessions about what happened in the past that wound us. Through therapeutic reflective writing, we can begin to invite a deeper truth to surface. All you need is a piece of paper, a pen, and the motivation to write. Choose the format you wish to write: • An expressive reflective biography • A poem • A letter to specific individuals If you feel still stuck in your past to some degree, and find influences from your past constantly affecting your present decisions and choices in life, why not try therapeutic writing about it. You do not have to publish your story. You can choose animosity, and I will guarantee you absolute confidentiality over a secure online portal. Together we will explore the lessons and outcomes around your story, cry together, pray and laugh together. All on a secure safe, online platform with no deadlines to publish. Therapeutic writing is a tool that can help you make sense of the past, explore current experiences, and make plans to experience life through a healthier perspective. This book is the second of my application of therapeutic writing. Sandcastles: Hiding ugly scars explores the mindset during a brief but painful broken marriage and bad choices. It also explores how my childhood influenced on decision-making and the consequences. This follows Sandcastles: Revealing Beautiful Scars which dealt with how I processed being involved in an accident, having eight repeated surgeries, physical visible wounds, pain, and eventually being healed. Therapeutic writing is not about writing pretty sentences that are grammatically correct. There is value in writing to gain a stronger, clearer, and healthier understanding of one’s self and experiences. Through writing, one can observe cause and effect and understand patterns that might be holding you back. Why not try using therapeutic writing to ask yourself the right tough questions?
