WORKSHOP: The Therapeutic Power of Writing

This interactive workshop will explore a range of ideas about the therapeutic benefits of writing. Whether you journal, write creatively, enjoy blogging or are more interested in non-fiction, the aim is to discover how you can get more out of your writing and how your writing can get more out of you.  The workshop will include:

• The neuroscience on why writing and storytelling are good for wellbeing and, in particular, for relieving anxiety. 

• Learning from the great writers about the therapeutic power of writing.

• The use of writing in psychotherapy.

• Overcoming writers block.

• Therapeutic writing practices such as journalling, morning pages and unwriting the past.
