Why write?

What do you believe about yourself? Is it really true? As human beings, the stories we tell about ourselves form the basis of our identity. When we take the time to carefully reflect, we can use powerful narrative techniques to reframe, re-contextualize and reshape those stories, and in doing so we can change our lives.
