Write to Restore: A Step-By-Step Creative Writing Journal for Survivors of Sexual Trauma

Healing from trauma can be a slow and painful process, especially for sexual trauma survivors, who are often shamed into keeping their experience to themselves. But journaling can provide a cathartic release of emotions, allowing us to process the past and reflect on how we’re feeling in the present.

Author and writing teacher Jen Cross has worked with sexual trauma survivors for more than fifteen years. This companion journal to her book Writing Ourselves Whole is a space to put the pain on a page. In doing so, we release the hold it has on us and restore our bodies and minds.

In this self-help journal, you will find:

• A sixty-day guided journey to healing from your experience
• Sixteen writing exercises that gently prompt writers deeper into their experiences and into renewal
• Follow-up readings, additional exercises, and suggested uses for your writing
