Giving yourself permission to explore your story
If you have ever wondered whether you have a story inside you, this episode of “Woman Worriers” is for you. Annapolis-based therapist Elizabeth Cush talks with Marisa Goudy, a writer and writing coach, about helping women find their voices and the healing power of writing.
“Writing is beautiful and painful and time consuming and horrible and the best thing in the entire world.”
Show Notes:
We often tell ourselves that our stories aren’t important, that what we have to say isn’t enough or that we don’t have the tools or the words. We forget that we live in a world surrounded by language and that words are our birthright. In this episode of Woman Worriers, therapist Elizabeth Cush, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and Marisa Goudy, a writing coach and story healer in New York’s Hudson Valley, talk about the importance and the benefits of telling our stories and how writing can be a powerful tool for self knowledge, whether you are planning to publish or just journaling to explore ideas.
