Writing to Heal and De-Stress

I took a class in my master's program called Writing and Healing. The list of required text included - Writing as a Way of Healing: How Telling Our Stories Transforms Our Lives by Louise DeSalvo. I highly recommend it. Some of the other students in the class thought she spent much too much time on her own depression, but it didn't bother me and I'm not a depressed person, she was just sharing her reality with the reader.
