Readers, I'm interviewing Debi Wacker, www.writetohealth.com
Debi, can you tell us the benefits of journaling?
There’s simply something special about putting pen to paper that improves our general level of wellness. Research states that journal writing integrates the right and left brain functions which help us work through personal transitions and trauma, and ultimately leads us to enjoy a happier, healthier life.
The following benefits of journaling are founded in clinical research pioneered by psychologists James Pennebacker, PhD at the University of Texas and Joshua Smyth, PhD at Syracuse University:
Physical
decrease symptoms of asthma, arthritis, HIV/AIDS and other diseases
Boosts immune system functioning
Decreases symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma
Tomorrow Debi shares the mental/emotional and spiritual benefits of journaling.
