Pennebaker’s Writing Process
As we saw in chapter 3, Pennebaker’s bliss is research, and in his early work he stumbled onto the significance of writing. Originally he wanted to know if being open — sharing your stories — was healthy. He established that “being open” matters significantly for our health, but he used a four-day writing exercise to show this. As noted, Pennebaker’s follow-up research — as well as more than two hundred studies — has established that expressive writing can help us heal physically, socially, and mentally.
Today Pennebaker’s four-day writing process is considered a classic touchstone for writing to heal. Many therapists use it regularly with their clients. Let’s explore it now. While this writing might cause some distress at first, the odds are strong that it will provide relief afterward and reward you with valuable insights. Remember, if the writing causes undue stress, put it aside. But if you are looking for a prompt that is backed up by scientific results, prepare to write!
