Writing is a Therapy

Writing is a Therapy

Schapelle Corby, an Australian, was arrested in Indonesia for alleged drug smuggling.

She is writing a book in prison about her ordeal, which she hopes might one day be a best-seller and an inspiration to others who find themselves in trouble. Her Indonesian doctor said that she suggested to Corby that she write a book as part of her therapy, to cope with her ordeal.

"Maybe one day it will be a best-seller and if it becomes a book, we hope it will help others," the doctor said.

Writing a journal is a good form of therapy. It is form of outlet for the pent-up emotions. It helps you to understand yourself, and what you think. You become your own best friend.

If you are suffering, don't waste it. If you survive the ordeal, you could encourage others by your example. Those who are weak need all the encouragement they need to survive. They need to know they are not alone. They need to know that they can overcome and survive the ordeal, and hopefully to become a stronger, and better person.
