THE STORY MENTOR

Upcoming Workshops

​WRITING FOR

SELF DISCOVERY

Some personal stories demand to be told but writing them is often difficult. Honouring these experiences to learn about oneself can be highly beneficial. If you have ever thought that writing has or could help you learn more about yourself, then this workshop is for you.

In this 6-hour workshop, The Story Mentor draws upon research to demonstrate:

• The benefits of writing for self-discovery;

• The uses of catharsis and disclosure;

• How symbolic repair can help you overcome traumatic experiences;

• The benefits of bearing witness to experience through writing; and

• The possibilities of re-authoring experience through writing.

Please note, The Story Mentor is not a therapist and is not qualified to help you deal with traumatic experiences. The purpose of this workshop is only to demonstrate the different ways writing can help you learn more about yourself on your own or with a trained therapist.

Workshop Outcome: Create a self-care plan for your writing journey, and begin the journey by working through the 6 stages of the writing for self-discovery process.
