Writing gives me a familiar mental rock to grip onto when the waves are swirling. It is a place to escape from the disruption, but not far enough to avoid it entirely and instead, step back and explore it.
Another thing is by writing you get the worst thoughts off your head. Which is not easy and also a lot of people keep those things in head which makes things worst. Like really get into trauma. Writing helps a lot especially blogs, or those tweets where you sum up what you think.
I agree completely! It is a healing process for mental trauma at least. Probably helps somewhat physically too
