Wording Around

Responding to "Stages of the Process, Stages of Growth II"

8/17/2020

As part of ACPA creator Kathy Mac's "Wording Around with Prose" webinars, ACPA managing editor Jamie Kitts responds to their chosen text for lesson 2.1:  Writing as a Way of Healing by Louise DeSalvo.  This blogpost covers Chapter 8:  "Stages of the Process, Stages of Growth II."

While I was reading this chapter I realized that I'm basically reading the book version of a show called The Midnight Gospel.  It's only eight episodes long, but each episode is a conversation with a person about how they learned to embrace the traumas that rocked their lives and turn them into the points from which they begin to heal.  It's also a completely mind-bending animated series so, if cartoons and weird images aren't your thing or you don't want to pay for Netflix, the source material for that show is a podcast called The Duncan Trussell Family Hour.  Give either of these a shot if, like me, you're trying to get to a spot where you can let go of some stuff that's weighing you down.

Also there's a recipe for biscotti in this chapter and here's how that turned out.

That's it, that's the post.  Sorry.  This was an emotionally heavy chapter and I think that material needs to stay with me for now.  See you next time.
