Writing for Forgiveness: A Therapeutic Writing Workshop

Because we all have someone to forgive. Even if it’s just ourselves.

Studies have shown that writing helps improve both physical and mental health. This is why so many therapists recommend the practice of journaling. This class goes beyond journaling, as it guides practitioners into their bodies to determine where grief lives, and then provides step-by-step instruction for excavating grief by putting it onto the page.

Like yoga or Tai Chi, writing for forgiveness is a practice. Once you understand the process, you can use it any time you need relief. Even better, you can take the product of this practice to your therapist to help work it out even further.

In this two-hour course, we will:

• Use somatic exercises for identifying where grief lives in the body.

• Use storytelling techniques for to safely guide the pain onto page.

• Use EFT tapping to release stuck grief. This practice is aimed at helping participants feel better, lighter and freer by the time we say goodbye.

Once you have taken a class, you will own a recording so you can come to this material any time you need it.

This course was developed, and is taught, by author Lauren Doyle Owens as a way to help her process stuck grief.
