Like life (and survival), writing also follows an organic trajectory where the individual must go from acknowledging one’s pain and vulnerabilities to defining and confronting them through actions and words. This requires a certain amount of critical distancing which life writing helps one acquire. The course will lead you through this process of distancing, confronting, and healing from trauma, one step at a time. Every week, we will cover one of these steps toward healing by writing about our pain and vulnerabilities. At the end of the course, you will leave with a completed piece of memoir/personal essay.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
