Expressive Writing for Emotional Healing (starting at $50)


Whether you’ve known periods of overwhelm, trauma, or significant difficulty, it’s important to process these experiences in healthy ways. In this course, you’ll learn the evidence-based technique of expressive writing to help process difficult emotions in order to help you get “unstuck”. The practice of Expressive Writing, pioneered by Dr. James Pennebaker in 1986, is a remarkably straightforward and FREE way to acknowledge your most troubling memories and create a framework of language that can help to move unresolved thoughts out of your head and onto the page (or even into the air).



Participants will:

  1. Identify one challenging, difficult, unresolved memory
  2. Understand why it’s important to process such a memory
  3. Learn how Expressive Writing was created as a tool for writing to heal
  4. Read an example of Expressive Writing, then practice your own expressive writing exercise
  5. Understand the benefits of Expressive Writing
