The Power of Personal Experience in Writing
Exploring Self-Reflection and Healing Through Storytelling
As an author, you have the ability to create stories of hope and inspiration. No matter the genre you write, the ripple effects of your own life challenges almost always show up. Whether it’s through your characters or storylines, it’s important for you to tell your truth. In fact, writing may even be your source of self-therapy.
#SameHere Authors recognize that life challenges can impact our mental health. Despite different outcomes, the traumas we face impact our nervous systems in similar ways, making it possible for us to relate to each other’s experiences.

Literature’s Role in the #SameHere Movement
How Stories Can Help Normalize Mental Health Conversations
When we look at it that way, it’s not the 1-in-5 statistic we often hear about, but a 5-in-5 reality. We all face challenges and live on a mental health continuum that changes. We believe that through literature, we can help normalize conversations about mental health & connect society through the commonalities of the challenges we all face.
