Healing Through Letters & The Path to Maturity for HSPs,Andover, Hants (UK)

活动简介

I am very excited to announce that I am co-hosting this event with Barbara Allen-Williams, a mentor, trainer, coach and speaker for highly sensitive people.

The morning session will be led by me, Nicola McDonald, creative writing coach and author. This workshop is for anyone who would like to explore, using creative writing and letters, an experience of the ‘uninvited’.

(Particularly useful for anyone who might be dealing with, or has had to deal with an unexpected, difficult or even an unwelcome change or experience in their life). For example, perhaps the experience of caring for a relative who is developing dementia, or facing redundancy at work, or coming to terms with disappointment. I am a creative writing coach and will help you to explore and express your feelings in a supportive environment. See below for more details about therapeutic letter writing.

The afternoon session will be a gentle and lively discussion led by Barbara Allen-Williams. We explore aspects of the journey towards maturity as an HSP, along with the developmental and cultural challenges we might face along the way. Bring your thoughts and ideas, your sense of humour, share with the group if you would like to.

How are you coping with the emotional whirlwind brought on by the 'uninvited'?

?? An extra glass of wine or two??
?? Comfort eating or snacking??
?? Retail therapy??
? Something else?

Are these coping mechanisms helping? Are they making the 'uninvited' go away? Making you feel better day-to-day? They are false friends.

In my LinkedIn post "My Human Story," I share my journey with my dad and how writing 68 therapeutic letters became my lifeline. It turns out I had made a mistake in my chapter numbering and I actually 68. They are a record of a journey I have been on with him since July 2023.

As a highly sensitive introvert, writing helped me process the 'uninvited' challenges during my dad's dementia diagnosis.

Join me in my "Healing Through Letters" workshop.

As a Creative Writing Coach, Author, and Podcaster, I offer you time and a safe space to connect with and release your emotions. In a small group of no more than 8 people, you'll address your 'uninvited' through the meditative process of letter writing and discover:

?? Emotional Release?
?? Clarity and Insight?
?? Stress Reduction?
?? Healing and Closure

Walk away with:

?? A tool for life?
?? New connections?
?? Self-awareness?
?? Sense of Accomplishment

If it all feels too much and a little unfair...

If you’re a highly sensitive person or introverted and introspective by nature, and find solace in creative expression, this workshop is for you.
