Life Writing

These interactive groups foster community and connection through free writing related to life with trauma-based dissociation.  Whether you are a beginner or experienced writer, new ways of self-expression will emerge.  Invitations to share and receive comments from other group members are extended, helping deepen the experience of self discovery.
