One of the benefits of this podcast is that I can talk freely, using this medium as a form of therapy.

If you are interested in listening to me break down my woes and come to some semblance of sanity, perhaps take a listen. But be warned, I am offloading my issues here, not providing solutions.

Writing therapy saved me this Christmas. My therapist recommended that I take note of all of the things causing mental duress. Doing so was revolutionary. Most of the anxiety and rumination simply disappeared and I was left with a list of stimulus overloads that I could now see clearly and thus manage.

In this episode I reflect on the Christmas season, discuss the process of writing therapy, as well as discuss my creative plans for 2022.

I wish you well for the year to come!

It’s that time of year again, when festive joy is replaced by obligation and overwhelm.

In this episode, I share how December is something for me (and many of you) to endure. Survival is put at a premium and strategies to maintain some semblance of normality are introduced.

I also have a meta discussion as to the point of this podcast, coming to the conclusion that I use it as another form of writing therapy - offering up a model for you to potentially replicate for your own healing (it never has to be shared of course).

Ever find yourself stuck in the middle of a conversation that you weren’t prepared for? One that is triggering, intense and wholly inappropriate for the situation?

I have.

In this episode I discuss how to manage these conversations, in a way that both protects your mental state as well as the relationship.

The page listens. It doesn’t judge. It can be discarded.

Alongside meditation, exercise and self-care, writing therapy is a central part of my mental health management.

In this episode I break down my process, and teach you how to do it yourself.
