Writing Trauma Without Traumatising Yourself Part 2 is the continuation of workshop Part 1 where writer and psychiatrist Sumitra Singam explained how to write trauma safely while staying regulated. This workshop is suitable for memoir writers, fiction writers, poets, and anyone interested in regulating from traumatic experiences.

This workshop focuses on emotions - what they are and how they manifest, and the “internal family” of parts that each character may have. This workshop, like Part 1, is experiential and involves relaxation techniques and writing exercises. Please wear your comfiest clothes, perhaps use a yoga mat, cushions blankets etc and interact as much or as little as you like. If you did not attend Part 1, no worries - watch this video.
