Isn’t it negative to dwell on problems?
Understanding problems is key to resolving them. In most cultures we are taught to either suppress or exaggerate anger — which is far more negative than writing the truth, or visually representing it. Honest writing is often insightful, passionate and humorous; it can heal and release feelings. Reading what others have written makes us feel less alone and “singled out” in our circumstances. Imagery invites further reflection and opens possibility for new connections, understanding and humor.
