Getting Unstuck: Releasing Emotions through Writing (Online Workshop)
About the event
This is the fourth session of the Grief Academy course When Grief Is Complicated.
Writing can be a powerful way to release emotions and work through unfinished business. By pouring what’s in our minds onto paper, we can quieten repetitive thoughts and open up space for new ideas and perspectives.
In this workshop, poet Kat Lyons shares their experience of turning to writing to understand and express their grief after their mum died. They lead us through some simple writing exercises to get our creative juices flowing. The workshop focuses on emotions, memories and special objects, but we can choose whether we want to think about our grief or any other topic that feels right.
In this session, we explore:
- How can writing help us express and process emotions?
- What techniques can get us writing when faced with a blank page?
- How can writing settle a busy mind and help us feel energised and focused?
Our When Grief Is Complicated course offers immediate access to seven recorded sessions – and accompanying resources – on demand for six months.
