| Dr. Lucia Cappachione developed this method in response to a serious health crisis she experienced in 1975. She had kept a diary for years and was writing about how her illness was impacting her. She found herself taking the pen out of her dominant hand and began writing with her non-dominant hand. She found that the information, which was coming through her non-dominant hand, was qualitatively different than what she wrote with her dominant hand. This was the beginning of a process that led her healing and the development of the Creative Journal Method. |
