Synopsis

Uncover the healing power of your story, express your authentic voice, and find connection with this positive holistic guide to writing and creativity. Lisa Weinert’s work is based on the premise that we hold our stories in our bodies. The extent that we learn how to release them affects how we perceive and approach our lives - but what if we don’t have the tools to understand our narrative outside of what’s been told to us?  What if we don’t have access to our own story due to trauma? What if we are unable to share our truth with the world? In Narrative Healing, she empowers readers to identify, understand and tap into the healing power of their stories.  Following her own personal healing journey, Lisa draws upon twenty years of experience to offer a new paradigm for personal growth, self-care and community action through an embodied writing practice. Combining somatic practices, creative prompts, and mindfulness exercises, Lisa guides you through the six steps of healing through storytelling: awaken, listen, express, inspire, connect, and grow. Incorporating creativity as a core part of the process, Narrative Healing provides writers and non-writers a comforting yet equally empowering process to find a path to themselves and find deep connection with the world around them.  The premise here is simple: our stories have a healing purpose and are meant to be shared.  As we are able to better know our own stories, we are better able to take in the humanity of those around us.

Goodreads review by Amy on June 17, 2023

This book is exactly what I needed. It is aimed at helping find your voice and trusting in yourself and the world. It is not the type of book you finish. You keep it with you, revisit, and grow. Some of the prompts are deep and can feel scary. Taking the time to analyze why you don't want to answer......more

Goodreads review by Ag on April 30, 2023

This is more of a workbook than a book you read, absorb, and ponder over. There are those tiny prompts and exercises and while it is always super tempting to just read some theory and wisdom, actually doing the inner work, going deep within and looking inside you is where the real changes and keys t......more
