187 Dr. Liz DeBetta

<p>We’re coming to our summer break! What better note to end on than this encouraging episode with Dr. Liz DeBetta. Liz has been on the podcast before and shared her story of coming to her late thirties before examining the impact adoption had on her life. Today though we are strictly diving into one of her areas of expertise which is using writing as a tool for healing. Writing is accessible, it has physical, emotional, and mental health benefits. Writing can help us create a new narrative for ourselves. Liz recently lead a group of adoptees through a transformative writing group and she shares some tools we can use to start our own writing practice.</p> <p><a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/187">Full Show Notes Here</a></p> <h1>Show Notes</h1> <hr /> <h2>Recommended Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.umass.edu/ruddchair/virtual-conference-2020-21-program"> Rudd Adoption Virtual Conference 2020-21</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9au38-05wc">Dr. Liz DeBetta’s presentation</a> and the participant’s videos (<a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMG1UhCQr18">short</a>and <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ6yqVzgPJ0">long</a>)</li> <li><a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/118">Liz’s first appearance on Adoptees On E118</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.adopteesconnect.com">Adoptees Connect - now planting new groups</a></li> <li>Writing as a Way of Healing by Louise DeSalvo</li> <li>Waitlist for the new writing groups <a href= "https://forms.gle/iX6Ru8fcyHfFupkf7">https://forms.gle/iX6Ru8fcyHfFupkf7</a></li> </ul> <p>Just note "No, I am not available for all sessions" to skip to the "I am interested in future opportunities" part of the form.</p> <hr /> <h2>Connect With Us</h2> <ul> <li>Dr. Liz DeBetta: <a href= "www.lizdebetta.com">www.lizdebetta.com</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/liz.debetta">Facebook</a></li> <li>Haley Radke: <a href= "https://twitter.com/haleyradke">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/">Instagram</a> | <
