Opening Up by Writing It Down

Joshua M. Smyth

When something stressful happens, many people want to repress the memory of it and move on. Even when they manage to do that, the painful emotions that are the result of the event stay and do us harm if they are not dealt with and expressed. One way to do that is through writing about them, and ‘’Opening Up by Writing It Down’’ is a guide that reveals how and why you should do it.
