Using journaling to cope with and express your thoughts and feelings (also calledexpressive writing) can be a good way of coping with the impact of a traumatic event. Expressive writing has been found to improve physical and psychological health. In regard to PTSD in particular, expressive writing has been found to have a number of benefits including improved coping and posttraumatic growth (or the ability to find meaning in and have positive life changes following a traumatic event), as well as reduced PTSD symptoms, tension, and anger.
