Healing Through Journalling: How Writing Helped Mao Process Trauma

from The Cocoon: A Safe Place for Victims and Survivors of Sexual Trauma

In this episode, I speak with Mao, founder of Mistakes Are Overrated, about how journalling became a powerful tool in her trauma healing journey. We talk about Mao’s long-standing love for reflective writing, how consistent journalling helped her process trauma, regulate her nervous system, and rebuild self trust, and how that deeply personal practice inspired her to create her own self impact journalling book.This conversation explores journalling for mental health, healing through writing, self reflection, and how putting your inner world on the page can support trauma recovery and personal growth.🌱 Learn more about Mao’s workhttps://mistakesareoverrated.com/📓 Explore Mao’s self impact journalling bookhttps://mistakesareoverrated.com/TBBI Links/Enquiries:Facebook: The Blue Butterfly InstituteEmail: [email protected]: thebluebutterflyinstitute.org.auYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBlueButterflyInstitute/videosIntro/Outro Theme: Breaking The Silence by Marya StarkIf in need of help during an immediate crisis:100RESPECT: 1800 737 732Interested in being a guest speaker on the podcast?
