The next time you feel stressed out, you may want to dig up your old journal. I've personally experienced the therapeutic effects of writing as others may have, but studies also show that expressing your emotions on paper can help reduce stress and anxiety and even ease trauma. Dr. James W. Pennebaker, liberal arts professor and executive director at The University of Texas at Austin, has conducted research on the benefits of expressive writing, "writing about thoughts and feelings that arise from a traumatic or stressful life experience," according to Harvard Health Publications.

下一次感到备受压力时，你可以选择翻开旧的日记本。我已亲身体验到写作带来的治疗效果，可能其他人也体验过，但研究还表明在纸上书写自己的情感有助于减少压力和焦虑、甚至能抚平创伤。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的文学教授兼执行董事詹姆斯·W·宾贝克博士已开展了研究，研究表达性写作的益处，"写下由创伤或压力引起的情感和思绪，"哈佛健康出版社表示。

In one of his studies, 46 healthy college students were asked to write about either traumatic life events they've experienced or random topics for 15 minutes, four days straight. Students who wrote about their personally traumatic experiences made fewer visits to the campus health centre and reduced their use of pain relievers over the six months that followed.

在他的一项研究中，研究员要求46位健康的大学生写下他们经历过的创伤性生活事件，或随便写个话题，连续四天，每天写15分钟。接下来的六个月，那些写下个人创伤经历的学生去校健康中心的次数减少了，使用止痛药的次数也同样减少了。
