Writing As a Way To Heal

In this episode, Loraine delivers a step-by-step guide to dealing with debt, offering practical advice and strategies for managing debt and budgeting effectively. Drawing from her experience working in money advice at the Citizens Advice Bureau, Loraine introduces the PIES acronym (Prioritise, Income, Expenditure, Share) as a method to help individuals navigate their financial challenges. She discusses prioritizing expenses, increasing income through various means, identifying non-priority expenses, and sharing available income with creditors. Loraine also touches on coerced debts and the importance of seeking support from organizations like Surviving Economic Abuse and Citizens Advice Bureau. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Start by identifying and prioritizing your essential expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, and food allowance.


Explore various ways to boost your income, including claiming entitled benefits, checking tax codes, selling unused items, or renting out a spare room.


Create a budget and allocate available income to non-priority debts using a pro rata calculation to negotiate reduced payments with creditors.


If you've been coerced into financial agreements, seek assistance from organizations like Surviving Economic Abuse or Citizens Advice Bureau.


Consider joining a private support community like "Success with Lorraine" on Facebook for women aged 40+ to connect, heal, and grow from trauma to transformation.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you've got mortgage arrears or rent arrears and things, then you do really need to speak to a professional and seek help."

"Now, letters are the easiest form. Obviously, it keeps a record of everything that's going on."

"It's domestic abuse and more banks and credit card companies are becoming informed about this."

"So if you phone in or you're writing and you're in that situation of coerced debts, I would ask them if they have a vulnerable customer support."

Dealing with Debt: A Step-by-Step Guide

Today, Loraine delves into the theme of healing the mind. Drawing inspiration from motivational speaker Bob Proctor and the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, Loraine discusses the powerful practice of letter writing as a tool for releasing negative emotions and traumas. She explores the cathartic process of writing letters to express anger, resentment, shame, or guilt, and then burning them as a symbolic release. Loraine also introduces the concept of the burning bowl ceremony, shared by Randy Gage, as a ritual to transform negative memories into ashes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The practice of letter writing and journaling, as well as the burning bowl ceremony, can be effective tools for healing past hurt, negative memories, and traumas.


Writing letters as a physical exercise to release anger and aggression, and then burning them, can help in processing and healing from negative emotions.


It is important to allow emotions to come to the surface during the writing process, even if it may be distressing, as it is part of the healing journey.


Repeating the exercise of writing letters on the same topic or situation at least four times can aid in processing and releasing the negative memory.


The burning bowl ceremony, introduced as a ritual by Randy Gage, can be a symbolic way to release negative emotions and turn them into ashes, promoting healing and transformation.

BEST MOMENTS

"Vent your spleen in writing. Write a letter to the person who has frustrated or angered you. Pull out all the stops. Leave nothing to the imagination. Then burn the letter."

"I've used this practice on a number of occasions throughout my life journey, and I actually wrote about this in my first self-published book."

"You might actually experience tears or there might be a feeling of anxiety or fear arise or even anger. But this is all part of the healing process."

"I have created a no-cost, zero-commitment support group for women aged 40 plus. A safe space for women to connect, heal and grow."
