JOIN THE DISCUSSION
Many of us are writing memoirs about painful times in our lives which causes us to relive those moments over again. How can we write about these moments without being triggered? Join this discussion led by Dr. Christine Gibson and find tools to help you identify and self-soothe to write your story.
This program takes place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre (AWCS), on the 4th floor of cSpace Marda Loop (map).
