Beyond The Red House

The Difference Between Writing Therapy and Writing a Memoir


Listen Later

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

You've been writing about your trauma for months, maybe years. You have journals full of pages. You've done morning pages, free writing, and therapeutic writing exercises. And you're still stuck.

In this episode, I break down why therapeutic writing and memoir writing are NOT the same thing and why understanding that difference is the key to finally finishing your book.

If you've been trying to turn your journals into a memoir and hitting a wall every single time, this episode will show you exactly what's missing (and how to fix it).

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'll LEARN:
  • Why journaling alone won't give you a finished memoir
  • The 4 key differences between therapeutic writing and memoir writing (purpose, audience, structure, and emotional distance)
  • Why you're not failing you're just using the wrong tool for the job
  • What to do with all those pages of raw material you've already written
  • How to shift from writing for yourself to writing for a reader (without losing your authenticity)
  • The framework that helps you turn fragmented pieces into a cohesive story
