Letters aren’t just for others
Dr. Ebony often has her patients write letters to themselves. She even has them write letters to their younger selves, or to their future selves. She has some write letters to somebody else, but letters they’ll never actually show that person, sometimes because that person is no longer even alive. “A letter can be so important to the healing process to people who felt they otherwise didn’t have a voice,” states Dr. Ebony.
