How Writing Can Help
-
You're the Hero
For many of us, recovery is a journey of ups and downs. Writing your story can help you see just how many challenges and obstacles you’ve overcome along the way.
-
Find a way forward
We all feel ‘stuck’ at times. Words can help you get moving again. Writing about an achievable goal or a dream outcome can help you take those small, important steps towards your recovery.
-
See your successes
It’s easy to spend a lot of time talking or thinking about your so-called ‘failures’. Write your story and you can start to see your successes clearly too.
Writing and Recovery
If you’ve ever put pen to paper to work through difficult feelings, you might already know how powerful words can be. In fact, creating and taking control of their own stories can help people to experience recovery.
