A guided writing template to process emotions, calm your body, and build resilience—at your pace.
An expressive‑writing template that engages both brain hemispheres (bilateral stimulation) so memories and feelings can settle into a clearer story. Writing activates the prefrontal cortex for emotion regulation and creates safe distance while you reflect.
