What does Writing for Self-Expression mean?

We all struggle to express ourselves sometimes and find the right words. Writing for Self-Expression is about finding the words to express what you’re feeling and thinking.

How can I join a Writing for Self-Expression group?

We tend to work with NHS Recovery Colleges, Trades Unions, and organisations such as Doctors in Distress. If your own local organisation doesn’t run an RLF Writing for Self-Expression group, see if you can get them to contact us.

What happens in a Writing for Self-Expression workshop?

You will be introduced to some poems which you’ll then discuss. Afterwards, you’ll be given the opportunity to write a response. If you like, you can share this with the group but there’s no pressure to do so.

How will I know what to write in a Writing for Self-Expression group?

You will share in the reading and discussion of poetry that will inspire you to write for yourself.

Do I have to share my writing with other people?

You can if you like, but it’s entirely your choice. Sometimes people prefer to keep their writing private, other times they like to listen to and discuss what other people have written.

What happens if I’m not good at writing?

Everybody has important and interesting things to write. In a Writing for Self-Expression group, it doesn’t matter about grammar or punctuation; it’s all about the words you feel inspired to use.
