A Letter From Me To Me
Imagine if you could write a letter to your past self. What would you want to say and what advice would you give yourself? The 'A Letter From Me To Me' resource provides an interactive way for people to explore past experiences, understand thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and feel proud of their achievements by encouraging personal reflection with the use of helpful prompts.

What are the benefits of using this resource?
The use of writing to communicate our experiences and how they made us feel is a healthy way for us to reflectively acknowledge our experiences, and validate our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Being reflective can help to alleviate difficult emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, and anger. The act of exploring our experiences with curiosity and non-judgement helps us to view these with new eyes and allows us to process them so that we can make sense of what occurred and why they made us feel the way we do. Being reflective can also help us to acknowledge our achievements, which can encourage a sense of pride, boost self-esteem and self-worth, and build resilience.
Its Good To Talk!!!
If you are struggling with your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and/or difficult experiences, we recommend that you talk to one of the trusted people in your life, and seek professional help and support. Sharing our experiences can be empowering, as it can help us to take back control of our lives by allowing us to identify and manage our difficulties, and take positive and proactive steps to overcome these. However, we can sometimes find it hard to talk about our difficulties and how we feel; in such cases, writing these down can feel easier and less painful and can serve as a great method of communicating when words are too difficult to speak. If you are struggling to talk, we encourage you to use written word or this resource to share what has happened to you and how you are feeling.
