Writing Therapy
The pen wrote without questioning what I wanted to say, and the paper received the information without reservations. The most important thing was that I could say what I wanted. Then, in the process of writing if I changed my mind, all what I had to do was to cross what I had written down, which could have been portions or everything. I could also put the piece of paper in the bin, and nothing happened.
I started doing this without even knowing that writing therapy existed. It was until today when searching the internet to find some research about writing that I learned writing is a formal therapy. I was intrigued by this and read several articles. One of them pointed out that humans have expressed beliefs in the healing power of written words since ancient times. There are even courses to help people to express themselves and overcome any situation through the power of writing.

I haven't used writing therapy myself but it sounds like a very useful tool. (Liz Drury)

DeleteWriting therapy seems like the perfect escape for those needing support or those who are worried. A friend of mine often writes pros and cons lists when making a decision. It is an excellent form of therapy I'm sure. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. It is a good way to escape and at the same time to confront reality.
