This episode explores the new writing workbook -- The Sibling Estrangement Journal: A Guided Exploration of Your Experience through Writing -- that provides an opportunity to reach powerful realizations, gain insight, and discover resilience and truth – all between the self and the page. Sibling estrangement cuts across all classes and cultures, yet many don’t want to discuss this stigmatized topic and not everyone can afford on-going therapy. Studies show that writing from the heart for 20 minutes a day helps to make sense of emotions and to construct meaning from experience, contributing to both emotional and physical well-being. This workbook, which explores important topics in sibling estrangement and poses important questions about your experience, offers a different approach to self-knowledge, improvement, and empowerment.
