More about Therapeutic Writing
“I feel like a different person when I'm writing, I feel like me, most the time I don't know what I'm doing. When I write it makes me think 'this is what I'm here to do'. The sessions feel very anchoring, which I find helpful.
”
“I like the templates and the covers.
”
“Thinking more about the authors I love to be able to watch video's or podcasts with them, talking more about their lived experience in relation to the story.
”
“Its brilliant to offer this intervention as a treatment option for people on wait lists. Offering a wider choice of therapy rather than the current standardised pathways which don't work for everyone.
”
“I find the access to previous chat records really useful; it is like a journal to reflect upon over the following week and throughout the therapeutic process.
”
“The books look great, I've already found one I want to read.
”
“The books are great. Some are small (quick reads) which is brilliant for me.
”
“The platform is brilliant, so easy to navigate on my phone.
”
“Ok, so I've had made some huge progress with myself and my life and it is 100 percent because of the conversations we have been having and you helping me to think about things differently.
”
“Thank you for starting this site. It has (and you have) honestly changed my life.
