Memoir Writing for Chronic Pain Relief

but...there is hope!

Hi, My friends, I'm Jen, a high-impact chronic pain sufferER,

My diagnosis is Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) - but despite my difficulties, I lead a full, satisfying, and productive life.

One reason is because I use a writing process called Bibliotherapy- a form of expressive writing to write memoir about my life. It’s been life-saving and life-giving.

Now, I want to share these writing techniques so you can also find relief. I hope you’ll join me on this interesting and joyful Bibliotherapy life-journey.

May the Spirit in Us be victorious!

~ Jen
