“You read so much about the healing power of memoir, but you don't read about the wounding power it has first. The recollection of past events is not, in and of itself, therapeutic.” FirstsPastHealingEventsMemoirRecollectionTherapeuticPast Events Author:Janice Erlbaum
“Those of us who obsess over every word and action are constantly recalling past events, but that doesn't make them any less painful, nor does it help us transcend them.

You have to get back to the mental and emotional state you were in during those events.” WritingDoeStatesHelpingActionPastEventsEmotionalPainfulMemoirGet BackWords And ActionsPast Events Author:Janice Erlbaum
