WRITING THERAPY

INTRODUCTION

Writing is an extremely individualized process of personal growth. One of the easiest distressing methods, writing settles the mind and releases pent-up tension by bringing problems into perspective. Being an expressive therapy, it helps to give us an honest insight into our real selves and relationships. The very act of putting pen to paper (or fingers on a typewriter!) has always been refreshingly cathartic—a limerick on the back of a grocery list, a beautiful thought on a piece of paper, your daily journal, a few lines of poetry. So go ahead and write down whatever`s coursing through your mind, and watch your true self unfolding before you on this journey of self-discovery. And never mind about grammar!
