WRITING THERAPY

“Denny, you need to write your thoughts down; use
writing as a form of therapy. Maybe start with a
simple journal and go from there ….”

Dr. Larmore
Veterans Medical Center
Lexington, Kentucky
2006

Writing is a form of expressive therapy that uses the
act of writing and processing the written word as
treatment. Writing therapy suggests that writing one's
feelings gradually eases feelings of emotional trauma.

Note to Dr. Larmore:

It took some time, the journey was/is bumpy, the
mission was/is critical. I’m pleased to report:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
