 How Writing Heals
By Judy Reeves
When you write about something that gives rise to pain from the deep place of memory and body where it resides, you literally feel the emotions that surround it. Tears often accompany bringing these feelings to the page. By writing it, you acknowledge the pain and its cause. Acknowledgment is the first step in recovery. When you read your work aloud you give voice to your feelings. These are some of the ways writing heals.
Excerpted from the book A Writer's Book of Days: A Spirited Companion & Lively Muse for the Writing Life (2010 revised edition) by Judy Reeves. |
