Can writing help to heal the sick? Will it cure not just
emotional wounds, but physical ones as well? Yes, says
Dr. Sheppard Kominars emphatically. For anyone suffering
from hypertension, chronic pain, asthma, rheumatoid
arthritis, and even cancer, writing can reduce the
physical symptoms of many diseases. For those who have
endured psychological trauma in their lives, writing can
improve their overall well-being, lower their blood
pressure, and improve their immune function. In Write
for Life, Dr. Kominars reveals a host of powerful
insights and journaling techniques that can improve
health. It could not be simpler: pick up a pen and embark
on a lifelong adventure to healthier and happier living.
Written with specific instructions on how to use journal
writing to deal with medical crises and healing, Write
for Life is a valuable and useful tool for people with
serious or chronic illnesses, as well as for the doctors
and nurses who treat them. The pen just might be mightier
than the scalpel!
