Rage on the Page: Writing as Emotional Release

Episode Overview

  • Writing can be a safe outlet for expressing intense emotions.
  • You don't have to keep what you write; tearing it up can be liberating.
  • Journaling helps in understanding and processing feelings.
  • Expressing anger on paper can prevent real-life conflicts.
  • Writing about grief can aid in the healing process.
Writing is the liminal space between thought and action, between emotion and reaction.
Ever feel like your emotions are bottling up and ready to explode? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', John Staley dives into the power of writing as a tool for emotional release. Aptly titled 'Rage on the Page', John shares his personal experiences of dealing with anger, frustration, and even grief through the act of putting pen to paper.
He explains how writing serves as a safe space where you can express all those pent-up feelings without fear of judgment or repercussions. Whether you're angry at a situation you can't control or grieving a loss, John encourages you to let it all out on the page, then tear it up and throw it away. This method not only helps in processing emotions but also prevents them from spilling over into your interactions with others.
John’s candid storytelling and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone in recovery or simply looking for healthier ways to manage their emotions. Ready to give it a try? Grab a notebook and let’s get those feelings out!
