Do past traumas or family lines impact your present life?
In this episode of the Writing with Purpose podcast, I chat with Emelie Hill Dittmer, a therapeutic writing teacher from Sweden. We discuss the gentle nature of therapeutic writing, the role of metaphors and nature, and the significance of creating safe spaces for authentic writing, especially when dealing with past traumas.
Emelie shares her journey and how past family traumas have played a part in shaping her writing life, touching on her grandparents surviving the Holocaust and her father’s bipolar.

We consider the power of silence in writing retreats, allowing for deep reflection. Emelie highlights the impact of international networks and the ongoing journey of therapeutic writing, providing tips for both new and seasoned journallers.

Emelie is certified with the Global writing movement ‘Write Your Self’ and is an International Association for Journal Writing council member. She blends trauma-sensitive and expressive writing approaches from England and the US with her own concepts.
