How to use it
Writing about something hard, facts and feelings, for short sessions on a few days in a row helped in trials, more where there was a diagnosis, less in everyday life. A tool, not therapy. If you're carrying real trauma, please see a professional.
How sure we are
S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
