Journaling and writing. Most of us know about these forms of creative expression.
Many of us have opinions about writing and journaling and beliefs about the benefits for our soul’s healing and growth.
One of my clients had a strong aversion to writing and journaling as part of her healing journey. She felt sure that putting words to difficult emotions and events would give them life and thus increase the tough feelings and triggers.
One day she was feeling shame and sadness over an event that had occurred. She needed to release the grip it had on her soul. It was recommended that she journal in freestyle form, writing out all that she was thinking and feeling. She decided, out of sheer exasperation, to give it a shot.
When she began to journal, it felt painful and odd. But only for a while. As she let herself express all that she was feeling and thinking, a loving part of her soul began to emerge and glow more brightly. Through journaling, she began to see her path to growth and healing. She was able to write an “ending” that felt both empowering and achievable. She found her voice and a goal through her writing.
During today’s VoiceAmerican show Laura Di Franco, CEO of Brave Healers Productions, will join us on a journey to “The Write to Be Me Portal of Sacred Haven”. As we travel to this amazing and empowering portal, we will discuss the gift of writing and journaling for growth and healing.
Join us HERE on VoiceAmerica at 1 pm ET/10 am PT.
