The Healing Power of Words

How to overcome life’s punches through writing.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t lived a tough story in some way. And while we can’t (and won’t) compare suffering, we can compare notes on what the best ways we’ve found to get through those moments are.

And unlike traditional journal writing, where maybe you just write about things that happened that day and walk away ’til next time, therapy writing is something that you revisit objectively. If you’re working with a professional, s/he will likely want to participate in this process to help guide you through it.

Over time, I developed my own practice around writing and healing, but I return to those guided activities when I need more structure or don’t know where to start with an issue. The more you write therapeutically, the more you learn about what exercises and practices work best for you.
