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

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.
