Writing therapy refers to the use of writing as a means of easing pain and strengthening the emotions of the individual. Writing, as a form of therapy, is not only for the creative genius; it is for everyone. Anne Frank’s diary and Hugh Prather’s notes to himself are remarkable examples of writings which helped their writers seek comfort from their stressful lives.James Pennebaker, an American psychology professor, was the pioneer in the field of writing therapy and conducted noteworthy research work. In Pennebaker’s original research, students who were asked to write on personal experiences showed a marked strengthening in psychological well-being. To discover the use of writing as a therapy, individuals can either experiment on their own or take the expert guidance of a writing therapist.
