PTSD Awareness Support

Journaling for Mental Health

One of the most effective ways to process trauma is by journaling your thoughts

Research has shown that writing about the traumatic event in several short sessions may help reduce symptoms of PTSD significantly.

In fact, some research has shown that combining writing with other therapies may help shorten your treatment time.

You do not necessarily have to write about the traumatic event on its own. Writing about your life as a whole, including traumatic events, may also help reduce PTSD symptoms.

Journaling may also help lower blood pressure, improve anxiety and depression symptoms, and help with behavioral problems in children with PTSD.
