The Write Balance
by Carole Sanderson
You’re asking yourself, “What is the Write Balance?” The Write Balance is the name for a series of Therapeutic Writing Workshops designed to give you just that; the right balance in your life, your decision making, strategies for coping and balancing your day.
We don’t always make the right choices and we don’t always know when we’ve made choices that aren’t helpful to us. We’re a secretive bunch, we humans, “Oh to be A.I.” So much less complicated; we wouldn’t feel or care about others. We wouldn’t struggle to get out of bed and wonder how we’re going to cope with what comes with the day; an angry boss, energetic kids, a distant partner, an illness we might have to cope with, anxiety, depression or loss of loved ones. We don’t ask for these things but this is what it is to be human.
Therapeutic Writing is a way to express those feelings we lock away in the hope that one day we’ll open that door and the feelings will have gone away. That does happen sometimes. Therapy helps but it’s not long term. Wouldn’t it be great to have your own therapist on tap; 24/7? It would be nice, but expensive.
Therapeutic Writing is a way to be guided through a series of safe writing exercises to bring out those trapped and unwanted thoughts, encourage symptomatic relief from anxiety, panic and depression and slow down the rush. Imagine waking up and feeling calm, ready for the day and enlightened. Imagine getting out of bed and looking forward to work, feeling energised for the kids and learning to understand why we allow others to take us for granted and then; stop them. Imagine you but better; being able to hold your head up high, feeling proud to recognise yourself, your achievements however big or small and learning to accept what is and cannot be changed such as the end of a relationship or death of a loved one and imagine learning that you can take some control over your life simply by understanding you; imagine that.
