Writing Away the Demons: Stories of Creative Coping Through Transformative Writing First edition

Transformative Writing as evidenced by the diversity of writers who contribute to this ground-breaking collection comes from specific experiences, insights, stories and metaphors, and through those specifics, illuminates what s enduring, what's life-giving, what makes us human. Each writer in this book holds up a lantern of transformative writing to show us not just the way through the dark, but how meeting the darkness with curiosity and compassion makes life shimmer with meaning.
