For the last decade, Penne baker has pioneered research on the role of confession in
health. He found that(註1) not only talking but also writing about traumas can be healing.
“Just putting upsetting experiences into words,” he explains, “has profound psychological
and physical benefits for our participants.”
Trauma, it seems, is the great leveler. Few of us escape it, even in our first two
decades of life. Moreover, the recovery movement of the 1980s and 1990s has taught us
that we(註2) as a society have kept a smothering blanket of secrecy over our traumas,
covering up the truth in order to protect others and(註3) protect ourselves from pain. We’re
learning that speaking out often ends the cycle of abuse and liberates us from both pain and
isolation. Penne baker’s writing method, (註4) while not a public form of confession, is a
personal form of acknowledgment, emotional expression, and completion. Penne bakersays that the writing method works because people confide both to others (namely, the
psychologists who read the essays) and to themselves. In fact, he believes that confiding
one’s deepest thoughts and feelings to one’s self is perhaps the most healing aspect of his
technique.
