LIFELINES

The author's thirty years of teaching personal journaling is evident in every minute of this comprehensive course. Partly therapeutic, partly artistic, the program is a guide to connecting with our unique experiences in life and reworking them into healthy emotional habits, better relationships, an integrated identity, and a solid life purpose. Writing organizes one's life by releasing emotional energy, giving definition to scattered emotions, and charting a structure that can ground us as we react to pleasures, losses, and traumas. Useful advice on the practical aspects of writing is also in abundance, along with the author's warmth and wisdom. The written guides and beautiful packaging make the program an exceptionally attractive personal resource. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
