As I’ve often said, journal-keeping (and I’m not talking about the relatively disposable online sort) has always been a good form of therapy for me. When something’s bothering me, the act of writing about it helps me to organize it and recognize it as something I can deal with and work on. I may know quite well beforehand what the issues are, but I very much need that process of fine-tuning and rearranging…
It may have something to do with the fact that I’ve always had an easier time communicating with others via the written word. Evidently, I communicate better with myself that way too…
Your mileage may vary…
