About the Author

As a survivor beyond aggressive end-stage cancer, Heidi Bright knows the terror and powerlessness of a deadly diagnosis. After managing two years of medical treatment for sarcoma, alongside carefully selected integrative therapies, Heidi surprised everyone by going into radical remission-against all odds-in 2011. Now a beacon of hope, she shares one of her most beneficial healing tools-the "Written Emotional Disclosure Paradigm" developed by social psychologist James W. Pennebaker, PhD. In this companion to Heidi's 2015 Sunstone Press book, Thriver Soup: A Feast for Living Consciously During the Cancer Journey, she demonstrates how to gain valuable insights through expressive handwriting.
