Writing and Wellbeing

with Dr Helen Sword and Dr Sophie Nicholls

Request this FREE online 2-hour masterclass on writing your way to improved well-being.

In the first hour, international writing expert and WriteSPACE founder Dr Helen Sword engages best-selling author and wellbeing & creativity expert Dr Sophie Nicholls in a wide-ranging conversation about her background in psychodynamic therapies and mindfulness, and her research on how writing and other creative practices can help us to think, learn, understand ourselves and other people, collaborate, innovate, and grow. This leads to an exploration of the role that writing can play in assuaging anxiety and enhancing positive emotions, and how a focus on writing driven by pleasure and can motivate us towards healing.

In the second hour, Helen and Sophie conduct a hands-on workshop on this important theme, highlighting the key difference between writing as process and writing as product, and introducing different therapeutic experiments involving playful containers - a mode or parameter that helps you to focus your creative energy - such as Sophie’s 5-minute spirals and 2-minute circles!
