A powerful healing therapy:  Write about it!

On the newest episode of the Lyme Time Podcast we’re joined by author Jennifer Crystal, who reveals her experience with Lyme disease and how it changed her life as we discuss her memoir, One Tick Stopped the Clock.  An avid outdoor enthusiast and skier, she found her life taking a dramatic turn after contracting Lyme disease as a young woman.  As she gained footing after making strides in recovery, she took various essays and anecdotes and compiled them into a book to help others.

Jennifer observed the transformative power of writing—and now she offers a course to aid the chronic community as they heal, reflect, and reconnect with themselves through the written word called Writing to Heal.

Jennifer is a published author with various writings in The Boston Globe, Harvard Health Blog, The Lyme Times, and Lymedisease.org amongst many others.  Her weekly column for Global Lyme Alliance has received mention in The New Yorker and she is now a Senior Writer at Harvard Health Publishing where she was also the Patient Experience Representative for the Lyme Wellness Institute.

🎧 This is a must-listen episode for anyone navigating chronic illness or seeking creative healing.
