Blogging Is The New Therapy

 ”Blogging Can Act as a form of Alternative Therapy” 

I came across this statement the other day, that raised a  very interesting subject. That blogging is a new alternative therapy, so by accessing blogging guides, learning blogging tools and getting active on blog sites we can heal ourselves.

“Writing long has been considered a therapeutic outlet for people facing problems,” Reports CNN

More people are turning to blogging as a form of psychotherapy, proving long-held beliefs in the healing power of writing and group therapy.

Approximately 12 million Americans are now blogging, and more and more of them are using the pastime as a therapeutic means of recording, sharing, and understanding emotional issues.
Whether battling an illness, watching a loved one do so, or simply going through a rough patch, “emotional blogging” creates a public diary that can give people “a tangible sense of community.”

CNN states that a study was conducted in 2003 by the British Psychological Society, in which participants who wrote about “traumatic personal events” were seen to heal more quickly by writing about their situation. 

Writing, coupled with readers’ comments, can steer a person through a difficult time, though experts suggest that blogging should be a complement to face-to-face therapy, not a supplement.

So… What are you waiting for….Get Writing…… Comment on my blog and help your self to help your self.
