Be A Writer To Release Your Stress
What is stress?
Stress is a state or mental health condition where there is tension or worry caused by a difficult situation.
People
with this condition develop symptoms like suicidal tendencies, repeated
nightmares, anxiety, and depression disorders, substance abuse, avoiding social
life, sleeplessness, and negative thoughts about themselves and the world.
How do you take care your stress?
Writing about traumatic, stressful or
emotional events has been found to result in improvements in both physical and
psychological health.
The writing is intervention to start a process
of dialogue with themselves or to ‘unblock’ a
difficult issue. It is not intended to replace
face-to-face interaction and is best done with
a follow-up appointment for debriefing.
As the whole point is to bring up issues that are emotionally charged, it is important to work out and the best timing for the writing and upgrade your writing.
How does it work?
- Reduce
physiological stress resulting from inhibition that not to be the only
explanation.
- It
is the development of a coherent narrative helps to reorganize and structure
traumatic memories, resulting in more adaptive internal schemas.
- The
exact mechanism by which expressive writing confers health benefits is still
unclear, there have been a number of potential explanations.
- It may involve extinction of negative emotional responses to traumatic memories,
but some equivocal findings.
Writing has helped people to resolve longstanding
issues about relationships at home and work, and to
put into words feelings that have been too sensitive
to describe face to face. Some people have shown
their writing to significant others and found this
helpful.
However, given its simplicity, expressive writing appears to have great potential as a therapeutic tool in diverse clinical settings or as a means of self-help, either alone or as an adjunct to traditional therapies.
I would like you to write your very deepest thoughts and feelings about the most traumatic experience of your entire life or an extremely important emotional issue that has affected you and your life.
In your writing, I'd like you to really let go and explore your deepest emotions and thoughts. You might tie your topic to your relationships with others, including parents, lovers, friends or relatives to your past, your present or your future or to who you have been, who you would like to be or who you are now.
You may write about the
same general issues or experiences on all days of writing or about different
topics each day. All of your writing will be completely confidential.
Don't
worry about spelling, grammar or sentence structure. The only rule is that once
you begin writing, you continue until the time is up.
