If Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way met This is How You Heal by Brianna West. A summit of Rachel's 18 yearlong journey in therapy bridged by the wisdom cultivated on her path to entrepreneurial success, Write to Heal takes readers on a creative process that will both radically transform the individual and profoundly impact the collective. -Sophia DalPorto, Soul Remembrance Guide and host of The Aligned Soul podcast Rachel is a pioneer in therapeutic journaling, and her natural sensitivity to the human condition has created a ripple effect in both her teachings and the telling of her own healing story. Readers can expect to find comfort and encouragement in her writing prompts, as well as fire and inspiration to tell their stories. -Kesley Weaver, CEO of Ripple Creative Co The writing prompts weren't just another run-of-the-mill attempt. They really challenged me to look inwards and work on healing myself. I felt cared for during the process. It helped me to reassess what was really important in my life and what I wanted to change to be happier. -Bonnie I am a budding writer and was trying to write my first piece but just couldn't get myself to begin. I had ideas but taking the first step was like climbing a mountain. Then comes Rachel with this workbook and the next thing I know, I wrote for 30 days straight. This not only helped me write my pieces but helped me overcome self-doubt and fear of failure, and equipped me with this newfound confidence that makes me believe I can do anything! -Anonymous Write to Heal helped me by nurturing and fostering the creativity I have already by giving me so many amazing ideas. I think one of the biggest ways it helped me was by allowing me to feel certain things but then coming to the understanding that it was ok to feel that way. -Maritza This helped me overcome self-doubt hands down! -Anonymous This process encouraged me to take the time to slow down and focus on myself, and it helped me get back to my normal, creative self. -Catherine C. Writing to Heal. Holy fucking shit. I have unpacked and processed the deepest wounds. I have experienced major breakthroughs. Specifically around resilience and isolation/being invisible. -Anonymous It made me think more deeply and allowed me to see things I didn't even know were an issue. I didn't realize I could write like that! It just poured out. -Candace B.
