Creating a Safe Space
Tanya will introduce herself and run through how the session will work. She'll cover house rules for writing and sharing difficult experiences.
You'll get to know the rest of the group and set boundaries to ensure everyone is completely comfortable with what's ahead.
Therapeutic Writing Introduction
Tanya will share some background on therapeutic writing and the science behind it. Then you'll learn some techniques for overcoming the blank page and getting started with writing.
Writing Exercises
You'll work through 2-3 timed writing exercises.
Together you'll discuss the exercises - what felt good, what surprised you, and where you might take these short pieces.
We'll also talk about how you might develop your work.
Sharing
Depending on the group, there will be the opportunity to share your writing.
No-one will be obliged to share, and participants will be encouraged to take time out if they need to.
- You may not always write about difficult experiences directly; you might explore fantasy worlds, craft erotica, weave thrilling adventures, or imagine fictional futures.
- Pain may manifest in different ways in your writing, sometimes subtly beneath the surface or cleverly hidden in metaphors.
- Understand how therapeutic writing can bring healing
- Learn how to express yourself creatively
- Discover the power of storytelling
- Explore different writing techniques
