Writing therapy is a brilliant way of comprehending how you became who you are today, and it doesn't have to be a dark and dreary process. It can be a wondrous journey of self-discovery— allowing you to remember your beautiful experiences thoughtfully and opening up ways of reflecting so that you can find a deeper level of understanding.

The way writing therapy works is by mining past experiences and wisdom that you already have within you, so you'll be able to heal traumas, set goals, and finally answer that question we all want to know: who am I? Here are some different styles and techniques to get you started. They produce varying results, but all provide the same healing and reflective rewards of enhanced inspiration and added clarity to our lives. Yes, please! Side note, all of these styles of writing therapy must be done on paper and by hand for the healing element to be effective, so I'm sorry, my laptop lovers (which is everyone these days), it's time to get a bedside notebook for this one.

ife is a series of positive and negative experiences, and we contain those experiences within us, which is a lot of information to hold inside. We often forget that there are many tools available to us to help us process emotions, and unlike a tropical vacation or years of therapy, not all of them are pricey. We can harness powerful tools at our fingertips, with just a pen and paper, without having to leave our living room.
