Sharing is Caring

"Verbal ventilation"  "Verbal ventilation is 'llspeaking or writing in a manner that airs out and releases painful feelings.   When we let our words spring from what we feel, language is imbued with emotion, and pain can be released through what we say, think or write.   As our grieving proficiency increases, we can verbally ventilate about our losses."   (Pete Walker, "Grieving and Complex PTSD" in H. Norman Wright's "WHEN THE PAST WON'T LET YOU GO")
