    Christmas in Recovery & How I FINALLY Feel Safe to Celebrate!

    It can feel hard to get into the festive spirit, especially if you’ve got trauma in your past, and especially if it’s tied to a Christmas memory. BUT, my shining light on the Christmas tree is… it can get better! In this week’s episode, I chat about what I’ve done in the last year to really shift my mindset and how Christmas can be an important time for anyone in any kind of recovery. In this week’s episode, I discuss: How Christmas felt when I had an eating disorder, and what I wish I’d done differently. How to cope if your trauma memories are linked to the festive system Why Christmas can cause us to be sooo hard on ourselves and our recovery. Why your Negative Bias can kick in over Christmas, and how to rebalance it with the good stuff. 3 ways I keep my triggers in check over Chrissie. How to rewrite your own Christmas story and challenge your inner critic How a set of matching pyjamas became of symbol of my recovery As this season of Sass & Something! comes to a close, you can follow along and reach out on Instagram @amy_molloy.

In this episode, we talk about: Dealing with rejection during the pitching process Writing about a taboo topic – and getting the publishing world to buy in. The pitfalls of writing about gender and sexuality The mistake people make when writing memoirs, and how ot avoid it Writing about traumatic experiences before you’ve even shared it with your friends or family. The legal juggle of writing a memoir, and how to still share your truth whilst protecting yourself A sneak behind the curtain of how I support my writers. Why I say memoir writing can be like therapy therapy! If you're ready to write that book, doors are now open for my course, The Book Writing Remedy or enquire about working with me 1:1.
