The manual is suitable for both therapy and self-exploration. Those who feel exhausted, depressed, or vulnerable long for positive experiences. In such cases, writing can help. It offers the opportunity to evoke joyful memories, articulate difficult feelings, and give shape to hope. At the same time, it strengthens the autonomy of the writers: they decide what they want to write, from which perspective, and with what intensity. Writing complements all forms of therapy and counseling excellently. Writing in a group fosters trust and closeness. The writing group is a safe space where intimate thoughts can be shared gently. The exercises are divided into 8 chapters that follow the stages of group development.
