109. The Power of Processing Through Writing
Before I could learn how to live with my invisible illness, I needed a way to process what I was going through. So I created what I wished had existed for me, the Made Visible Writing Class. A safe place where people living with invisible illnesses could write, share and connect with one another while confronting life’s challenges through writing.
In this episode, four of my students from the Made Visible Writing Class, share their experiences and their reflections on how writing has impacted their lives. Whether grappling with chronic pain or navigating through mental health challenges, each student shares how writing has given them a voice and a community in the midst of their struggles.
