Who is it for? Anyone can benefit from Expressive Writing. Many people keep a journal in their teens, which isn't surprising given that this is a time of huge change and adjustment. However returning to (or picking up) Expressive Writing as an adult can be equally beneficial. If you love talking, you might discover that writing provides you with a more objective and balanced perspective. If you find it hard to talk-in general or about something particularly sensitive, you might find that you are more comfortable exploring this through writing. In a nutshell, it's easier to write something than to say it.
