Transforming Memories

Transforming Painful Memories into Healing Words

From different families and different childhoods, three women remember and speak out about the secrecy, silence, and shame of having an alcoholic parent. Through spontaneous writing with "loaded words" and person-to-person sharing, the women embarked on a transformative journey in which painful images were brought to light, were accepted, and became less painful.

Transforming Memories is a collection of their healing writings and an invitation to others, whatever their past burdens, to use the technique of spontaneous writing to reveal difficult memories more clearly. This self-help memoir is for adult children of alcoholics and anyone seeking emotional healing. Discover the power of expressive writing and find community support on your journey to self-discovery.
