Abstract

Since the 1970's the use of writing as an informal therapy has shown significant positive results. ldquoLetters never sent: Using freewriting to tend to unfinished businessrdquo is a ldquowriting as therapyrdquo workshop that offers techniques to guide individuals as they write through change cycles. This workshop has provided participants a way to untangle themselves from the past and has involved them in the path to well-being. Specifically, it employs freewriting—a writing method that harnesses the internal editor, the censor, through a series of timed writing exercises. Through this freewriting workshop, participants can make significant discoveries about themselves.
