There's a traditional school of thought that says we need a therapist, counselor or coach to help us work through difficult situations, painful experiences, and negative emotions. Without another living person acting as a sounding board, confidante or adviser, this school of thought suggests, we'll never be able to get out of the minefield that our negative thoughts, feelings and memories often are. Is this true? Apparently not. We need to expand our wondering about what we really need whenever we are processing painful experiences and negative emotions. The presence of a therapist or coach may not be necessary. Folks who process negative life experiences through writing or discussing them (definitely not with a therapist or coach) describe long-term improved life satisfaction, mental well being as well as physical health. The actions of writing and talking offer a conduit which leads to the release of painful experiences and feelings. Here is what studies at the University of California and Duke University Medical Center and also the Clinical Psychology Review have to say about what we really need when we are working through painful experiences and negative emotions: Writing and talking require organisation and structure, which allow people to let go and move past their problems For folks affected by minor psychological complaints, writing therapy and self-talk therapy (for example talking in to a tape recorder) produces positive changes comparable to those produced by short-term psychotherapy. The positive effects of writing and self-talk therapy include decreased visits to doctors, decreased job absenteeism; and increased coping strategies and improved physical conditions including immune function It is not only the writing and discussing life events that appears to make the real difference - it is the self-reflection on the feelings and the insights that appears to make the shift: what are my feelings related to this event and [https://idepro.edu.ec/profile/ronaldashworth look what i found] do I now understand or realise about it? Writing and speaking about those elements provides a structure and organisation to troubling events that may lead to a self-identified solution. - Clinical Psychology Review Writing is tremendously cost effective, allows people to confront traumas and problems at their very own rate, and encourages them to devise their very own meaning and approaches to their problems. Many individuals, perhaps most, are able to guide their very own therapy
