Curative Writing & Narrative Coaching
|
The unconscious mind is considered a mythic place, but it is where the voice of the inner writer can be heard with clarity. Curative Writing is a practise that takes us beneath the noisy mind to the quieter, wiser ‘unconscious’ space within. It incorporates depth writing and creative writing techniques, curated to access the boundlessly imaginative and transformative realm of the unconscious. We only need to be guided to find the way there.
Neuroscience is catching up with what writers and thinkers have always known: that writing is good for us. It calms the anxious mind, finds meaning when a personal or global narrative might seem senseless, and restores the balance of inner and outer. After completing doctoral studies in Creative Writing, and undertaking psychotherapy practitioner training, Kylie Fitzpatrick facilitates Curative Writing courses and workshops in communities, for arts organisations, and within academia. |
