The S.C.A.R.s. Method® was developed to help people find healing from trauma through writing and journaling. The acronym stands for the process of healing wounds emotional and spiritual wounds into scars. Each letter represents a step in the journey to disengage from the trauma or event, discover the effects of the trauma, assess ourselves and where we are in the journey, and develop a plan to rebuild the wounded parts of emotions, thoughts, and spirits to find sufficient healing. Finally, the small “s” stands for sharing our experience with others through storytelling to offer encouragement and hope. All this, done through Journaling.
