How Telling Your Life Story Can Heal Your Pain By Robin Clare


book?” Perhaps writing a book is not the next logical step in your life, but for sure, you have a life story that has filled your days with thought-provoking events and out- comes. These events are not always glam- orous; in fact, they might be riddled with drama and trauma.


H


Our life experiences consist of good, bad, and ugly moments. As a life coach, I know that all three of these types of experi- ences make for excellent teaching material in our personal and professional life. As an author and writing coach, I know that these same experiences make for incredible content when writing your life story.


Writing Your Life Story – Something Every- one Must Do


Everyone should write their life story


whether they ever want to publish it or not. By writing your life story, you will gain a greater understanding of what has trans- pired in your life. This review will enable you to see where you have healed and take stock of all that you have accomplished. This review will also point out where you still need to improve your life.


There are many different ways to heal


your life and one of the most profound ways is to engage in a conversation with


ave you ever told stories from your life to someone and that person said to you, “Wow, you should write a


your inner wisdom. By writing your story, you activate your inner wisdom and you see your traumatic patterns where profound healing is possible. I experienced this in the writing of my third book, Feast & Fam- ine: Healing Addiction with Grace.


An Author’s Struggle The first time I wrote Feast & Famine, I


was in addiction to obsessive-compulsive food disorder and bulimia. I could see that I had so much to heal and I went on an extensive self-healing journey. I had to put the manuscript down until I came into recovery. Once firmly in recovery, I wrote the book a second time, seeing the book through an entirely new lens.


Moving beyond my fear, I was able


to share my life experiences and the full healing path that worked for me. I had an incredible message to share and I stopped worrying about being judged by others. I released the book from this new place of empowerment. Now, I gladly speak about my life story with a knowing that I am serv- ing others. After my courageous healing journey, I realized how much writing my story enabled my recovery. I became so enthusiastic that I changed the direction of my life coaching business to one of hybrid life and writing coaching. My aspiring writer clients receive the benefit of both my deep experience as a life coach and as an author.


The key is to write your life story for


yourself first as a healing tool for your life.


Finding Your Courage The hardest part about being a writ-


ing coach is getting my clients to write! Being able to write your story takes a tremendous amount of courage. The fear of confronting your painful life experi- ences can be overwhelming. The key is to write your life story for yourself first as a healing tool for your life.


If, after you have written your life


story, you feel another level of courage coming on, then it is time to share your story with others. You can accomplish this in many ways and in many different styles; from sharing it informally with oth- ers, to writing a blog post or an article, to designing a program to coach others. And yes, you can transform your incredible life story into a book!
