- Title
Writing to Freedom.
- Authors
Givens, Kathy McGibbon
- Abstract
Kathy McGibbon Givens describes the powerful healing impacts of using creative writing as a means of processing and resolving traumatic memories. Having been sex-trafficked as a young woman, the author reveals that, as her disturbing recollections began to surface, she found relief through writing about her experiences in the third person as opposed to the first--as though the trauma had happened to someone else. She relates here the ways in which this approach aided her in letting go of that painful episode in her life.
