Have you ever heard of Expressive Writing?

Writing about a terrible or difficult situation is called "expressive writing." People who do this, record their deepest thoughts and feelings. Doctor Pan, leader of this study of expressive writing as a highly effective way to deal with painful experiences, says these people often show 1 mental and physical condition (状况) afterwards.

Expressive writing is effective because it allows you to make sense out of an upsetting and even heart-breaking experience. As you write, you are 2 what is happening around, and accepting that something is bothering you is an important first step. Next, translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts and gives you a sense of control.

Thinking or talking about an event seems 3. However, the more you think or talk about it, the more likely you will find yourself in a mess. As a result, you get completely lost in your own emotions and finally lose self-control. Writing works differently as it makes you slow down. The act of labeling a feeling - of putting words to an emotion - can ease the neural (神经系统的) activities in the brain.

What if you don't consider yourself "a writer"? Don't worry about spelling or grammar. Take it easy when you choose the words or expressions. 4 dig into your inner self. The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an upsetting event.

Many people have tried this method. After his father was rushed to the hospital because of a severe heart attack, 43-­year-­old Alex began to panic. So he did the one thing that would calm himself: he wrote. He thinks of it as a captain's life buoy (救生衣). "My expressive writing gave me the 5 I need to face my fear and move on," Alex says.

There are a few who are against this approach. According to them, expressive writing isn't a magical solution. People shouldn't fully trust the effect of expressive writing. Neither should they think of using it to 6 other treatments. People who are faced with a serious mental disaster may not find it useful to do on their own, without medicine.
