  • Unlock your inner calm and creativity through writing

    Posted by keylifetherapy on August 14, 2020

    When we write expressively about events or experiences in our lives, the right side of the brain - the rational part - is engaged in finding the words to express what happened/ our experiences and how we feel about them. While we are focused on this, the left hemisphere - the creative part - is freed of the usual control and inner censor it is under, and from this arises unexpected ideas and images to arise out of our subconscious.
