There's a normal 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 as we are processing painful experiences and negative emotions. The presence of a therapist or coach might not be necessary. People that process negative life experiences through writing or talking about them (certainly not with a therapist or coach) describe long-term improved life satisfaction, mental well being as well as physical health.

Writing and talking about those elements provides a structure and organisation to troubling events that will lead to a self-identified solution. - Clinical Psychology Review Writing is tremendously cost effective, allows people to confront traumas and problems at their own rate, and encourages them to devise their own meaning and approaches to their problems. Many people, perhaps most, will be able to guide their very own therapy
