Short reflections, essays, research notes, reviews, and tools for anyone who wants to understand what structured writing and disclosure actually does and how to use it for themselves.

This is where the science gets unpacked, the clinical frameworks get translated, and the practice of narrative medicine becomes something you learn to practice. I write here as a researcher and educator: about the neuroscience of expressive writing, about what close reading does to clinical attention, about what the evidence actually says and doesn’t say, or can’t say yet. Occasionally, I write about what it’s like to tend something — a patient, a student, a practice, a garden, an animal, a creative spirit.
