Featured Conference Workshops

Your Healing Narrative: Write-to-Heal With Neural Re-Narrating for Individuals and Healing Professionals

Featuring Donna Jackson Nakazawa

Throughout this workshop, Donna takes participants on a journey, utilizing the process of writing-to-heal to help individuals recognize old, painful thought patterns, observe how histories of adversity may be affecting their health, relationships, work, and well-being, and begin rewriting their inner stories. In the process, participants begin to uncover internal resources for resiliency and create new, more powerful, and resonant healing narratives that help them flourish in their current lives. This workshop is appropriate for health care professionals; behavioral health specialists; therapists; social workers; educators; parents; and any individuals who have experienced adversity, or who face ongoing, chronic stress in their everyday lives.
