MONICA SUSWIN
The Healing Power of Writing
Exploring The Self




I am a writer and have always written with a need to express myself, take pleasure in words and find meaning. Drawing on a long life of experiences, I have written four books on creative therapeutic writing. Through these autoethnographic explorations, I show how literary strategies are empowering for self-exploration and reflection.
My books on creative therapeutic writing are designed to inspire you, the reader, to write for yourself, find an energetic flow, and develop your own particular expression.

These creatures became metaphors for themes explored in my books. Notes at the end of each chapter provide helpful information so that you can discover your own metaphors and write creatively and therapeutically.




My work with individuals and groups stopped at the end of 2023 and through 2024 due to ill health and then recovery. In 2026 I may pick up my practice again of working with individuals. If that is of interest please get in touch.
Trainee therapy students, in particular, who have to do journalling could get a lot out of these books. MH (psychotherapeutic counsellor)
