Description:
Words that Heal: Writing About Life's Difficulties and Joys
Joyce Hocker
Red Willow Learning Center, Missoula MT


Research continues to show that writing about difficult events lessens the long-term effects of stressors. Similarly, writing about joys and gratitude helps build resilience and optimism. In this series, Joyce will present activities and resources that will help you write about your life. You are welcome if you have written in a journal for years or if this is a new endeavor.

Joyce Hocker, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in Missoula. Formerly a professor in Communication Studies at UM, Joyce conducts a private practice in Jungian-oriented psychotherapy, teaches Life Writing for the Lifelong Learning Institute at UM, and guides people on personal renewal retreats in Central America and close to home in Montana. She writes short memoirs for publication and is the co-author of Interpersonal Conflict (McGraw-Hill, 8th. Ed.). Joyce's style is warm and encouraging. She uses poetry, music, guided conversation and writing in her classes. You will be inspired to find your own healing resources with her help.
