The Psychological Benefits of Writing About Past Trauma | Jordan & Tammy Peterson

This video explores the deeply personal and psychological impact of writing about trauma, a theme that closely aligns with the mission of this website. In this conversation, Jordan and Tammy Peterson reflect on how expressive writing helped Tammy confront and process her past experiences. I chose this video because it speaks directly to the healing potential of structured self-expression, something poetry often offers. Viewers will come away with a greater understanding of how writing can provide clarity, peace, and emotional strength. This video serves as a reminder that storytelling, whether through essays, journals, or poetry, can be a profound act of healing and self-empowerment.
