This is a book that is essentially a 74-paged self-paced online course, about restorative journaling through difficult times, built by someone whoÕs been in the trenches.
Perhaps youÕre going through a rough time, but canÕt imagine being open about it to anyone you know.
Perhaps that loneliness is compounding your pain, to the point where you wonder if the loneliness is worse than the difficult time itself.
Perhaps youÕre already seeking help. YouÕve read loads of self-development books; youÕre in therapy; youÕve chosen to take medication to help dig yourself out. But if youÕre in therapy every week for 50 minutes (out of the 10,080 minutes that make up one week), youÕre only actually in the therapistÕs office for .49% of the week. What happens when you leave the therapistÕs officeÑespecially when you feel like there was some good information, but when you also forgot everything that was said by the time you get home?
What do you do after you take the pills like a good patient does?
Or perhaps youÕve tried journaling, but gave up after one or two entries because you didnÕt know what to write about. Or youÕre a long-time journal-keeper, but wish to learn specific techniques to get through whatever youÕre going through.
But what I really want you to take away from this book is this: Rawness of Remembering is not merely about creating a journal. ItÕs an investment in taking charge of your own healing. You will develop a way to take care of yourself when your therapist or best friend isnÕt there; when itÕs just you and your thoughts, threatening to take you down into a terrible, lonely spiral. It's a workbook that will take you through an entire program to help you take charge of your own story.
