Scriptotherapy is a rather new term to me, however the act of using writing as a form of therapy is not. Scriptotherapy is something I think many of us have practiced, though perhaps not intentionally. Journaling, letter writing, list making, diary keeping – each of these is a form of scriptotherapy. The benefits of writing have long been praised, since it can lead to stress-reduction, problem solving, better mental health, inspiration, a sense of understanding and control…the list goes on and on. Scriptotherapy is a very powerful, yet readily accessible tool and one that can add only good to life by practicing.
Do you journal, blog, make lists, or just write? If so then you have been utilizing scriptotherapy, and if you don’t, why not start today. It’s truly amazing!
