Writing To Heal - Change your life through journaling, reflecting and creative life stories
Writing in a journal is powerful, cathartic and life-changing. Words have the power to heal and when you journal daily you will begin to see where and what you need to heal.
Do you feel stuck? Do you want clarity? Do you want to write and journal in a positive way? Do you want to have fun with your journaling?Then Writing to Heal is for you… Writing to Heal takes you on a journey that asks you to first pick up your pen and write. To then reflect on what you have written and rewrite it with positive intention so that you change the story.
In This Book, You Will Learn:
- The Healing Power of Writing: How journaling and creative writing can help you process emotions and heal from past traumas.
- Reflective Practices: Techniques to reflect on your writing and gain deeper insights into your thoughts and feelings.
- Creative Life Writing: How to turn personal experiences into short stories, poems, or prose that can inspire and heal yourself and others.
- Practical Exercises: Step-by-step exercises to get you started with journaling, reflecting, and creative writing.
- Transformative Techniques: Methods to rewrite your life story with positive intentions, leading to real-life changes.
When you start to use stories to change the way you think, your perspective changes. My dream is that this book inspires you to write and to consider writing your life story or memoir. It’s easy to read, pick up and flick through, one of those bedside books to dip into when you are pondering what to write.
From Readers
This book has been described by one reader as different from any other journaling book that she has bought, because of its positive perspective.Another reader told me “Just wanted to let you know that I started reading your book this morning and was instantly hooked. I found a book to write in and have written 7 pages on the most traumatic experience in my life, cried buckets but loved getting it down on paper and feel so much better with it being out and there are so many pages to add over the next 4 days. This bit comes from my soul - your book is, I feel going to save my life, not from death but from disillusionment - a life of disillusionment - can you imagine! I've been facing that for a while and today you gave me the path out of that, the path I've been looking in the long grass for! For the first time in 2 years, I sit here now with a jewel of excitement in my belly - so long since I felt that.”
Another said ‘I feel as if you really get me and I can finally write and let it all out.’ I wrote this book as a result of being in one dark place too many. I had written and journaled for years, using my writing to get my feelings out. As I sat and reflected I found ways to overcome my perceived problems. When I was out walking stories started to come into my head. It was then I realised that creative life writing, where you take your journal entries and turn them into stories was not only fun but incredibly healing."

- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013You know how you start a diet, do great and then three weeks later - for some unknown reason - just stop? Well, that's me and journaling. I've been a 20+ year journaler, but do it in fits and starts, sometimes laying off for years at a time. However, this book reminded me of the value of journaling and why I used to do it so diligently. If you need a boost of inspiration to get journaling for the first time or the 100th, this book is what you're looking for.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2014Incredible and great tips!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2013Our stories become our jail sometimes; we repeat our story again and again, and without realizing it, we become trapped in it. we lose our crucial ability to see different options are possible, and thus to be able to chose one path or another.
The idea of the book is appealing : changing our stories by mixing facts and fiction .
The book uses creativity as a mean for change, and change is more likely to happen through creativity .
For the kindle version, some images are not clear.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013As one who write and edit, words are my love and profession, (not in English...) I really enjoyed Reading this book. reading and exercising.
thank you for this book

5.0 out of 5 stars from trauma to healing by the pen
If you love writing as I do, then you will love this book. I have always written to clear my head when times are difficult, when things go round in your brain and become unmanageable. However this takes writing to a different level and this is an exciting prospect, using it as a tool to heal from the abuse and trauma that has been a major part of my life. This is a wonderful and exciting book, it is motivating and stimulating and presents a wealth of possibilities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great intent, somewhat poor delivery
I am using this book, but I find the way it is written to be difficult to follow. The book itself is almost written like the author's journal which at times makes things confusing and unclear. Not ideal when you're using the book to overcome your own issues! I find myself skipping to the "journal it" sections so I don't have to decode the other bits.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!
After reading the sample pages, I wanted to read more, to see if it would help get the book that was in me, out (there's one in us all). After reading more I felt compelled to put pen to paper, I wrote 7 pages, they flowed! So exciting! The moment you find yourself a great teacher is a precious moment. Try the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring
This book really inspires you to start writing, scribbling and exploring your creative side. Packed full of ideas and practical exercises it's rich in reflection, observations and the author's experiences that are all shared to help you put pen to paper. Jacqui shares her resources and life story generously. Thoroughly recommended.
