“The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are very often not really what happened. And as I started to write stuff down, I started to challenge what I thought I knew about myself, my culture, my family, all of it. It was a huge, destroying process that completely took over my life. I just wasn't here, I mean I was physically present, but I wasn't here, I was back in the 1980s.” WritingMeanStoriesCultureStuffProcessChallengesHappenedHugeMy FamilyDestroying Author:Damian Barr
“You don't realise how much you're holding onto until you start to let go of it. I had had loads of therapy and thought I had come to terms with who I am, but there's something in the process of writing that unlocks other experiences, other emotions and you have to be prepared for that.” WritingProcessTermEmotionLetting GoPreparedWho I AmTherapyRealisingLoadBe PreparedHolding On Author:Damian Barr
