Dear Steemians,

I LOVE teaching Writing through Trauma to Truth parts 1 & 2. I do this through the Center for Creative Writing. It's a job that fills my heart with joy because it is the work I CHOOSE. Supporting individuals in the process of acceptance, release and recovery by exploring their trauma on the page is life-affirming.

A little bit about my classes: They are one-on-one, completed through email and customized to you, the student. Topics you want to avoid? No problem. Others you want to dive into? You got it. I enjoy catering your syllabus to your needs, and responding to your writing each week with constructive criticism and conversation. You don't have to work through your trauma alone. We can be a team.

Writing through Trauma to Truth is based on Expressive Writing as a practical tool for healing. Studies show that short sessions of expressive writing followed by a self-check-in are as or more effective than traditional talk therapy. I believe this is because we are able to take control of our narratives on the page. We also get to go one step further.

When you write with me, you learn to reframe your narratives so you not only accept and release, you find joy. That is my goal with every student. But I only have two openings for Writing through Trauma to Truth beginning February 27th. If this sounds like an investment you'd like to make in yourself, learn more using the first link in this post. I'd love to write with you!

One last thought: I practice what I preach. I am healthy after a lifetime of abuse BECAUSE I WROTE THROUGH IT. I have tried many types of therapies, traditional and otherwise. Now I am working with a therapist to develop a Writing through Trauma workbook. I regularly have students attend my sessions on the recommendation of their mental health professional. And so I am dedicated to my own trauma writing practice, a good amount of which you can find by scrolling through my blog.

I don't hide it. I write it.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up to write with me.

xoxo,

Shawna
