He is now over twenty years sane and sober, married and a father of two, and a PhD graduate who researches the power of writing to heal. In \u003cem\u003eRecovery Writing\u003c\/em\u003e, James tells his own story and the stories of the addicts he interviewed in the course of his research. These narratives, informed by existing research on writing's physical and psychological effects, lead to a \u003cem\u003esocial\u003c\/em\u003e understanding of healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile writing does enable us to emote and confess, this is not the limit of its power. Writing heals our relationships as much as our bodies and minds. It attunes us to our social reality and improves our way of being with others. The notion of a higher power and the divine are also explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in \u003cem\u003eRecovery Writing\u003c\/em\u003e are step-by-step instructions for writing exercises that offer a first-hand experience of social healing. These exercises, drawn from the backs of coffee-stained diner placemats and the hard-earned experience of addicts struggling to remake their lives, introduce those willing to undertake this journey to the powerful, life-changing world of recovery writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47427475603692,"sku":"9781590566909","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781590566909.jpg?v=1774767496","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/recovery-writing-by-james-ryan-9781590566909","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
