Author, journalist, researcher, science detective, and gifted educator, Donna Jackson Nakazawa has just launched Your Healing Narrative: Write-to-Heal With Neural Re-Narrating™. This course guides you step-by-step through over 100 lessons, activities, and strategies to harness the power of the brain and nervous system for calm, peace and possibility. Throughout this course you’ll go on a journey, using the process of writing-to-heal to recognize old, painful thought patterns; observe how your history of adversity may be affecting your health, relationships, and well-being; and begin rewriting your inner story to create a new, more powerful, resonant, and purposeful healing narrative that will help you to flourish in your life—even in the face of adversity.
This year has been chock-full of adversity, uncertainty and distress on so many levels: the worst pandemic in a hundred years, millions facing economic uncertainty, global climate change, and mounting political discord. Over time, facing unpredictable, chronic stressors can deliver us into a low-grade state of fight, flight, freeze, harming our immune system and our nervous system. Perhaps you’ve noticed changes in your mood, mindset, or health. Or, perhaps you’re not aware of the tension you may be holding onto as you keep on coping, and caregiving for those around you. Either way, over time, chronic stress can begin to take a toll on your long-term health.
Knowledge in and of itself is not enough to change old, neural patterns. When we try to change our thought patterns and reactions on our own, we automatically overlay old, ingrained thought patterns onto newly learned approaches.
How does Neural Re-Narrating™️ work?
In this program for healing professionals—through writing prompts developed over my 30 years as a science journalist eliciting interviewees’ most deeply felt emotions, memories, and insights, coupled with science-based writing-to-heal and mindfulness techniques–I teach you the process of “Neural Re-Narrating™.
- Recognize old, painful thought patterns.
Through this program, I take you on a journey that will help you recognize old, painful thought patterns; examine your internalized stories about yourself and the world; observe how your history of adversity may be affecting your current health, relationships, work, and well-being; and begin rewriting your inner story.
- Develop new, healthier responses.
By working within this workshop setting, with me guiding you through writing-to-heal techniques coupled with science-based trauma healing interventions and mindfulness methods, you can override your brain’s old, habitual reactions and begin to create new, healthier responses that change the brain and nervous system.
- Create a powerful healing narrative.
In this process—Neural Re-Narrating™—you will begin to uncover your internal resources for resiliency and create a new, more powerful and resonant healing narrative that will help you to flourish in your current life, even in the face of challenges and adversity.
