Therapeutic Writing for Adults

Throughout the ages, storytelling has been an integral part of the human experience. It’s our way of exploring pains, joys, fears, and triumphs.

Therapeutic writing is the exploration of personal themes, metaphors, and experiences through writing. During a session, a therapist may explore with the client pieces of writing or verbal storytelling - extracting themes and metaphors that mean something to the client. Between sessions, a therapist may ask the client to keep a journal (either written or recorded). There is no need for prior writing experience, and all are welcome to reach out, regardless of writing or verbal ability.
