Really? Writing can help you avoid the flu? Most of the work I do here has an underpinning in the research of social science or psychology. Because science is one of my superpowers, I can understand the nuance of all the stuff out there. Narrative identity and expressive writing are the two subject areas I focus on to help you understand what our stories can do for our health. Today I give you a little peek into what exactly those things even mean and the amazing health benefits that can come from simply getting our stories out of our heads and onto the page.
