A practical and inspiring guide to transformational personal
storytelling, The Story You Need to Tell is the product of
Sandra Marinella's pioneering work with veterans and cancer patients,
her years of teaching writing, and her research into its profound
healing properties. Riveting true stories illustrate Marinella's
methods for understanding, telling, and editing personal stories in
ways that foster resilience and renewal. She also shares her own
experience of using journaling and expressive writing to navigate
challenges including breast cancer and postpartum depression. Each of
the techniques, prompts, and exercises she presents helps us "to
unravel the knot inside and to make sense of loss."
