hey love! question about the Tell It Slant course -- is it geared toward working through specific types of trauma? I'm hoping to write a collection of essays largely focused on medical trauma endured through a lifetime of chronic illnesses and was wondering if you think this course could benefit me on that front :) thanks in advance!
No, it's not geared to specific types of trauma. I'm not a therapist or a psychologist - just a fellow memoirist who has been teaching for many years and has experience holding space for other writers who are in the midst of processing their work. This is not intended to be a space for processing the trauma itself so much as figuring out craft questions around how we write about it.

Hi Calli,

Hope that helps.
