When you tell your story, you open the door to healing
? research-based insights, gentle affirmations, and inspired prompts ? powerful resource from an experienced trauma-informed writing coach ? from the founder of the For Women Who Roar writing community
When you've endured a traumatic experience or loss, it can feel like your mind, body, and spirit have been hijacked. Frightening, negative, or depressive thoughts intrude out of nowhere. Muscles tighten, teeth grind. Your sense of self-worth plummets. Amid all the swirling chaos, you may even question your faith and the goodness of God as you long for peace, wholeness, and holy calm.
One of the best and most effective weapons against the turmoil and pain you feel is quite possibly within arm's reach right now. It's waiting in your desk drawer, in your car's glovebox, at the bottom of your purse. It's a pen. And if you wield it with courage, it can open the door to freedom.
Weaving personal storytelling with research-based insights, gentle affirmations, and inspired prompts, Brave the Page shows you how to harness the power of writing to process your hard stories and experience healing. This transformative book from a trauma-informed writing coach is perfect for individuals, grief groups, and counselors looking for an effective and accessible resource to offer their clients.
