My Healing Companion: Write to Survive
Research and personal experience proves that writing is an incredibly powerful tool for coping with traumatic events. My Healing Companion is a self-guided journal for cancer patients, to explore their feelings during treatment and reframe the process as way of expressing strength and finding peace.

During her own treatment, daily journal writing allowed cancer survivor Beverly Kirkhart to “Turn this setback into a comeback.” My Healing Companion demonstrates her belief that the perspective we choose determines our success in getting beyond our challenges.

Exercises in My Healing Companion invite thoughtful response as steps toward personal awareness—and survival.

Based on Beverly Kirkhart’s powerful experience of writing through her own journey with cancer, Empower Yourself Through Words© is a dynamic series of programs designed to help medical professionals transform the clinical environment and facilitate healing.
