Welcome to Trees & Breathe!

A journaling method that uses the powerful connection between writing and thinking to gain insight, emotional clarity, and a deeper understanding of what matters most.

I’m Lori Rosove - so glad you’re here.‍ ‍With a Master’s degree specializing in how language shapes our thinking, 10 years of teaching writing, and over 30 years in social work, I designed this unique journaling method. Today, I offer this framework to support your personal wellness and to teach helping professionals how to integrate it into their own practice.

I’ve spent decades and two careers refining my therapeutic writing method and I want to share it with you as a unique path to clarity. Every session, online or in-person, guides you to uncover thoughts you didn't know were there. What begins as simple writing can lead to surprising insight, emotional clarity, and a deeper understanding of what matters most.

The Science Behind the Trees & Breathe writing method.

I use writing strategies grounded in Psychological Science to promote mental clarity. Some of these strategies include expressive writing and freewriting. Often considered medicine for the mind and body, writing can:

  • enhance emotional stability

  • reduce stress levels

  • improve the immune system

  • increase problem-solving ability

  • increase clarity

Writing strategies

I integrate mindfulness techniques with writing strategies to help create a calm and safe writing space for you. The benefits of paying attention to your sensations, feelings, and thoughts in the here and now may include:

  • lowering stress

  • Improving memory

  • strengthening relationships

  • increasing calm

  • increased focus

Mindfulness techniques

I bring nature to your writing space for a sense of peace and perspective. Scientific research supports that visual contact with nature may improve people’s well-being. And bird song may have a positive impact on mental health. Benefits may include:

  • reduced stress

  • improved mood

  • enhanced calm

  • opened mind

  • lowered blood pressure

I believe change happens only when you do something different.

If you're feeling stuck, therapeutic writing can help you move forward to find clarity.

Whether we write together in a group or one-on-one, the Trees & Breathe method of therapeutic writing creates a deeper sense of calm and self-understanding.

What About You?

  • The Trees & Breathe therapeutic writing method uses nature, guided writing, and mindfulness to help you feel centred. It’s a dedicated space to slow down, quiet the noise, and elevate your sense of well-being.

  • The Trees & Breathe therapeutic writing method helps you discover what is REALLY making you feel unbalanced and how to move toward a more peaceful state of mind.

  • It’s hard to choose a path when you’re overwhelmed by mental clutter. By uncovering deep thoughts, you will "see" the options clearly, allowing you to make decisions with confidence and clarity.

  • Change often feels daunting because we look at the whole mountain at once. My sessions help you break through the "I don't know" phase by uncovering the very first small, meaningful step you can take today.

  • Accountability is easier when you aren't doing it alone. Think of these sessions as “journaling with a coach.” I provide the structure and the prompts, while your hand and pen take care of the rest.
