Answers:
did you have counselling at the time to deal with the traumatic events!?
i would say writing the book is probably a bit like counsel ling in itself, however it sounds like you might need some extra talking to get through it, it can only help if you are opening all these cans of worms!.
also talking about things may actually give you better perspective and more ideas for your book!.

I would say, artistically, not to seek counseling in the middle of the book!. Completing it may be a sort of therapy in itself!. Plus your "voice" may change!.

As a person, if you think you need help then get it!. Don't suffer for your art, it isn't worth it!. Perhaps counseling will help you deal with the past and write about it more effectively anyway!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!.!.!. you should not seek counseling while writing a book!. If you are looking for artistry and emotion, then keep cool, but do not look for clarification of past issues!. After you have completed the book, then seek professional counseling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it wouldn't hurt to seek some therapy if these memories are disturbing you so much that you can't write any further!. Obviously it seems like there may be some unresolved issues in your life that you need to deal with!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well before you wrote the book did you seek counseling before!. If not then I think you should seek counseling AFTER your book has been written, because I believe that if you do during the process that same emotion may not come through!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if your sick you need it no matter what your writing or doing
if not ill noWww@Answer-Health@Com
