I teach at Curry College, Milton MA and at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education as well as running my own workshops from my office in Watertown, MA.

The title of my course is The Therapeutic Uses of Writing, and is based on 20 years of experience working with people using writing to explore and understand their issues.

In this course I use my books as the set texts. The books are designed to be used by individuals working alone as well as for those working in groups. The chapters offer exploratory exercises and provide the necessary context to allow the reader to understand what he or she has written.

CCAE Course Description
We cannot have a successful dialogue with someone else until we have first begun a dialogue with ourselves. This course utilizes revolutionary interactive writing techniques and drawing exercises designed to raise self-awareness and lead students, individually and in groups, to a better sense of who they might be. As we move through the exercises we will begin to uncover blocks to personal change, and also to liberate long-stifled creative energy. Participants will be introduced to many writing exercises structured around such topics as feelings, self-image, writing and dreams, overcoming resistances, and much more. You will be asked to write a short commentary paper at the end of each class. This is not a therapy group, and diaries and journals will not be shared in class, but this course will give you tools to further your own self-exploration. This instructor's book, The Sanity Manual, will be used as a text.
