Introduction to Transformative Journaling Workshop ~ Wednesday October 2nd
Learn a 5 step technique underpinned by neuroscience to support cognitive flexibility
We’re hearing a lot about the therapeutic benefits of journaling but less about what this looks like on the page.
Whether you’ve been journaling for a while or you’re a complete beginner, you can join me online for an Introduction To Transformative Journaling Workshop on Wednesday October 2nd 6.30pm - 8.30pm GMT.
In this two-hour workshop you will learn a simple but effective 5-step technique underpinned by neuroscience that engages with the faculties of your left and right brain to help promote cognitive flexibility and allow a greater degree meta-awareness.
The workshop will include a series of short writing exercises of between approximately 5-15 minutes and small group discussions aimed at helping you:
Connect with your intuition.
Gain a greater degree of self-awareness.
Develop reflexivity.
The focus is on outcome rather than process so previous writing experience is necessary and there will be no pressure to read anything out. Although this workshop is therapeutic, it’s not therapy so you are invited to go at your own pace and work with the material at a level that feels right for you.
Here’s what some recent participants have said about their workshop experience:
‘I really enjoyed Rachel’s workshop. Rachel has so much enthusiasm. I really enjoyed the exercises that we did and what I gained from it.’ R. Green
‘I really enjoyed the workshop and had an interesting process. Then I had a deep sleep and a very vivid dream in which I felt able to touch in with some unresolved grief. Quite unexpected and very welcome and I wanted to share that with you and say thank you.’ M.Beck
‘I enjoyed the workshop and felt it was very helpful in navigating a challenging situation.’ J. Gallagher
‘I went to a really powerful introductory workshop on Transformative Journalling led by the generous Dr Rachel Newsome. As part of the workshop, Rachel invited us to enter a dialogue with our ‘inner wise elder’ and I found this exercise so powerful - connecting with this notion of my ancestral wisdom really enabled me to offer validation to myself on something I’d been really struggling with, and had previously looked for external validation on.’ B. McManus
Everyone attending the workshop is invited to practice CARE - confidentiality, attention, respect & empathy.
Take Good Care,
Dr Rachel
