How it works
Translating experience into language (affective labelling) reduces amygdala reactivity. Narrative processing helps integrate stressful experiences and reduces intrusive thoughts.
Works best with consistent practice. Gratitude journaling and expressive writing have different mechanisms — both have evidence. Rumination-focused writing can increase distress; structured prompts help.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
