Healing Through Words: Anais Salibian on Writing and Resilience

Writing about traumatic memory and constructing a story out of it stops it from being something that people have flashbacks about and relive. It makes it more like just a normal, regular memory where you can pack it up and put it where it belongs, and also feel that it happened to me, but it's not ruling my life anymore.
Imagine finding a way to heal from your deepest wounds by simply putting pen to paper. In this episode of 'Real Life Resilience', Stacy Curtis sits down with writing instructor Anais Salibian to explore the transformative power of writing. Salibian explains how writing can bridge the gap between different parts of the brain, helping individuals process traumatic experiences more effectively. Drawing on research by Dr.
James Pennebaker, she highlights the tangible health benefits of writing about unresolved traumas, making a compelling case for journaling as a tool for emotional healing. Salibian shares her insights into how storytelling can turn overwhelming memories into manageable narratives, giving people a sense of control over their past. She also offers practical advice and resources for those interested in using writing as a therapeutic practice.
Whether you're looking to start journaling or simply curious about the science behind writing and healing, this episode provides valuable takeaways for anyone on a journey toward resilience.
