Writing about the “best possible selves” is the possibility of integrating life experiences, identifying the meaningful ones, and gaining a sense of control. Outcomes are that, compared to writing about other topics, the act of thinking and describing oneself as best as possible increases positive mood and decreases distress, even five months later.
— Lyubomirsky & Layous, 2013 and Ruini & Mortara, 2022.
Writing about our “deepest thoughts and feelings” without paying too much attention to issues of form and grammar, significantly decreases the number of health centre visits and self-reported health problems in a group of workshop participants.
— Hanauer (2022)
Participants in a expressive writing group reported significantly higher levels of increased self-understanding (self-awareness) value, and long-term positive effects of the writing exercise than participants in a control group who did not complete expressive writing exercises.
