The Story You Need to Tell: Writing to Heal from Trauma, Illness, or Loss

A practical and inspiring guide to transformational personal storytelling, The Story You Need to Tell is the product of Sandra Marinella's pioneering work with veterans and cancer patients, her years of teaching writing, and her research into its profound healing properties. Riveting true stories illustrate Marinella's methods for understanding, telling, and editing personal stories in ways that foster resilience and renewal. She also shares her own experience of using journaling and expressive writing to navigate challenges including breast cancer and postpartum depression. Each of the techniques, prompts, and exercises she presents helps us "to unravel the knot inside and to make sense of loss."

I read “The Story You Need To Tell” as part of a book group with the author, Sandra Marinella, as the leader. This book helps guide and encourage the reader to write their story—when they are ready. In the stories she shares, including her own, Sandra offers light and hope during life’s darkest moments. This book gives the reader courage to write through their pain to a life of peace and joy.
