My favourite therapist has given me a number of writing exercises over the years. I never look forward to doing them because I know they stir the emotional pot. Once completed, however, I always feel a load off. For example, he told me to write a letter to my dearly departed father and talk to him about what it was like growing up in our home. Then, interestingly, he told me to write a letter back to myself from my father and say all the things I wish he could have said to me, including the use of pet names (that I wished he’d called me). This exercise, strangely, was very, very comforting and healing. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
Blessings,
