Healing with Words: The Power of the Unsent Letter
I am a surthriver and I will rise above the ashes of the life I had, the life I dreamed of having with you, the destruction of the burnt life that you set on fire and heal from the burns that I have suffered at your hands. I will rise from the ashes, stand tall, claim my life back and my destiny.
Imagine pouring your heart out in a letter you never intend to send. That's the essence of the 'unsent letter' technique shared by B. Emery in this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers.

If you're grappling with similar experiences, this episode offers a glimpse into a therapeutic tool that might just work for you too. Tune in to hear B. Emery's story and explore how the unsent letter can be a valuable addition to your recovery toolkit.
