When I used to see therapists, I never had anyone listen or care like you seem to do. I only wish many more therapists were skilled in art therapies, including poetry therapy. And as Barbara Bethea mentioned, the benefits of writing towards healing are so connective in a group. I have seen it happen in my own groups, time and time again. Keep writing your blog. It's great!! Dear Marianela,

This article also depicts the transformative aspects of writing "in helping others give voice to their emotions." This article also promotes the relationship between arts in healthcare and allows readers to embrace the benefits of writing towards healing.
