Do you have a TMI story you long to tell but keep shrouded in secrecy because of fear, shame or embarrassment? We all do! New studies show that writing about your personal experiences can be both healing and empowering. Through the ancient art of storytelling, participants turn their pasts into testimonials of survival, dispelling old shame and inspiring others.

In 2012, TMI Project launched its Community Outreach Initiative, bringing distinct versions of its empowering workshops to various rarely-heard-from populations, with writing prompts and other exercises specially tailored to address each group’s particular issues. Among the groups served so far:
"Before I participated in a TMI Project workshop, I was ashamed to talk about my mental illness and especially to admit that I had been hospitalized on several occasions. Soon after the classes began, I started to feel more comfortable. The judgement-free environment in the group created a safe place for me. Through writing, I began to realize my true feelings about my journey with mental illness and I finally became confident enough to share my story. I had never felt this empowered before. Now I want to share my story with others. I know how difficult the low points can be, but I also know how it feels to emerge with strength. Having hope is a crucial part of recovery. I have found hope, and now I want to give it to others. Everyone deserves to have the same life-changing TMI Project experience."
"When I took the TMI Project Comedy Writing Workshop, my disease had just taken a turn for the worse. It was enormously gratifying to take experiences that were not at all funny in real life and look at them through a comedic lens. I knew I would enjoy performing a funny piece -- I have always loved comedy. I didn't know how healing it was going to be. It was important for me to thoroughly own my story in order to tell it, and owning my story made it manageable."
