Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness

E179: Scriptotherapy, Restorative Writing & Healing Chronic Pain


Listen Later

On today’s episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I’m talking all about the connection between writing and healing and getting quite personal about my own healing journey. 

We’ll talk about it all: scriptotherapy and restorative writing, the MindBody connection to writing and healing, specific writing techniques to set chronic pain free and the component to my personal writing that I’ve been missing all along: self-compassion practices.

If you have chronic pain (or chronic anything!) and/or need to heal through something specific, then this episode is for you. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/05/20/scriptotherapy-restorative-writing-healing-chronic-pain/
