Description

The purpose of this course is not to improve your writing or to help you prepare your writing for publication. Rather, this class will support you while you write to heal yourself. As a guide, we’ll use the ideas and exercises found in the books of Dr. James W. Pennebaker.

During our six-week course, we will write at home each week at least three times, at least twenty minutes each time, in response to one of Dr. Pennebaker’s healing exercises (Bob will make the assignments).
Each class night, we’ll follow this schedule: Hour 1: We’ll begin with a passage from Dr. Pennebaker concerning the healing power of writing. We’ll discuss Pennebaker’s ideas, then segue into discoveries we made while doing last week’s writing. Those willing to share may do so. Hour 2: After our break, we’ll write a fourth time for twenty minutes. Those who wish to share and discuss what we just wrote may do so.
After two weeks, four weeks, and after the class ends, I’ll ask everyone to document his or her overall progress (to be done outside of class).
