want them to. Write in stream of consciousness
or direct writing and don’t worry about spelling
or punctuation. Write this way for as long as you
can each day for four days. Don’t read back over
the writing; just write.
At the end of the four days, go back over what
you’ve written and look for repeating patterns of
thought or choices. Then rewrite each of the sto-
ries that reflect that pattern. Do this frequently
and you will soon find the meaning in your story,
and the means to change it if necessary.
As I finish the last few chapters of my book, I look
back at my writing journey and marvel at how it
has changed who I am. Writing – and rewriting –
my story has been a gift that keeps on giving.
If you are you ready to take an inner adventure,
a step-by-step journey that will heal and trans-
form your trauma, illness, or loss, join me for my
new course, Writing to Heal and Transform: Find-
ing Meaning Through Story. Visit www.Platform-
Crafters.com/writingtotransform for more infor-
mation.
Writing heals and
transforms. From cancer
to sexual orientation, my
clients have shifted their
perspectives, found the
gift in their struggles, and
transformed their lives by
writing their story.
If you would like to find
meaning in your stories, to
change your perspective and
heal, I invite you to write.
Start with journal writing
and start with no limits. No
one will see your writing
unless you want them to.
