Since childhood many people start writing their secrets in magazines, the need to put their thoughts in writing comes very early and is very positive, the benefits of this practice are many: it sends ideas to help you make decisions and minimizes stress, because writing is like talking and it is a relief.
It is always better to speak and expose negative feelings and experiences, but sometimes it is not possible, either because we have not decided to go to a professional psychologist or because we do not have reliable people who can understand us, that is when it can be written to become a process of therapeutic improvement.
- This should never replace speech.
- But if it is not possible.
- For some reason.
- Writing is a good option.
- In addition.
- Writing exposes negativity that.
- If not externalized.
- Could harm us internally and leave us at any time in the form of stress or illness.
There are countless cases of internal tensions that develop into physical pain, such as headaches, migraines, vision distortions, back pain, stomach problems, increased or decreased blood pressure, palpitations, dizziness, etc. , so it is important that each person can express in one way or another the problems they have in their daily life and take everything they carry in them. In time, if we keep the negatives, they will end up in the form of physical discomfort.
Therapeutic writing consists of writing without thinking about the final result; Grammar and form of expression are not important, and if we make sure it is written correctly, the plan will not work. We’re not going to post this anywhere, so the only important thing is to let it go naturally.
When writing, one goes through different emotional states; we must release these emotions and express them well, without fear. It must be more or less continuous writing; the pace won’t change because everything will come out and flow well.
If we have moments when we do not know what to say, we may become stagnant, often depends on the situation in which we find ourselves, the mind can resist expressing things well, because it tries to protect us from the pain that causes us to remember In these cases, we must be patient and insist several days to finish the wording.
The good thing about writing is that there are no restrictions, many times when we have to talk to someone we trust about a problem, we hide things out of shame or fear, but when we write we are completely alone with ourselves and we know that once we finish writing, no one will see our text because we will delete it or break it.
These texts should not be saved for rereading, it is recommended that once we have them we have them because rereading them could hurt us instead of helping us, each feeling expressed is part of a stage of the moment and is not valid on other days. It would be positive to analyze how the negative event affected us at that time and how we feel now, well, by differentiating that these are different steps, we can see if there is an improvement.
The person himself, after disseminating and expressing in writing everything he feels, will go through the process of finding solutions and the will to overcome it, usually after spending a few days venting the conflict and discomfort that we feel, we move on to another. stage where new thoughts appear.
Since we have already released everything wrong and ventilated, the interior emerges from the past and produces an effect of looking to the future and seeking solutions. As everything has already been eliminated, there is no room for laments and frustrations, because they are already out. , it is only left to accept and return in search of new experiences.
Writing can’t always help, like everything in life, it depends on how it applies and the person’s ability to help himself, there have been cases of very negative people who used writing to throw themselves into the negative and repent again and again. again for what had happened, blaming themselves, desperately and sinking further.
In these cases, writing can be a bad practice, as the person does not progress or learn from their mistakes; it merely describes the negative life it has had and does not open up room for growth or hope. To detect if writing is therapeutic for us it is important to analyze the feelings we have experienced during the first two or three days of writing. and the feelings we feel today; Is there room for hope?Do we see the future in a positive way? Otherwise, we would need outside help to close the negative phase and start moving forward with hope.
