SUMMARY:How to Write Trauma Without Retraumatizing Yourself
DESCRIPTION:Writing about trauma can help organize thoughts\, regulate emotions\, encourage us to reach out for support\, and enable us to discover meaning. But revisiting trauma on the page can be triggering.

You can find her personal essays in Tablet\, Lilith\, Brevity’s Blog\, Full Grown People\, Literary Mama\, and The Chicago Tribune and hear them on Chicago Public Radio. She founded the literary publication Thread\, which earned four notables in Best American Essays. Ellen has taught writing at Northwestern University\, Chicago-area synagogues\, and writer’s studios\, including Story Studio Chicago and Lighthouse Lit Fest. She works privately with writers on essay collections and memoir. \nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants.
