Dunk Your Biscuit Horizontally

Extract:

James Pennebaker, professor of psychology at University of Texas, has over the years asked hundreds of people to try writing therapy. That therapy consisted of 15 to 30 minutes of writing a day over the course of three to five consecutive days. Participants had to write about their deepest feelings and most painful memories. There was no commentary on the texts; they were just writing for themselves.

For every experiment Pennebaker also asked a control group to write about neutral subjects, for example their plans for the day. This way the professor showed how well the emotional writing therapy worked – participants felt better afterwards. Unemployed people who put their soul’s torments down on paper got a job more quickly than those without work who wrote about neutral subjects. Lovers who had written their troubles away stayed together longer than those who wrote about everyday things. Students who poured their emotions out on paper got higher grades than students who gave a business-like run down of their daily activities.

QOTD: What’s a book that low key intimidates you? 😶 I got a hold of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood a while back and I keep glancing at it on my shelf! Maybe this is the year I finally read it? 🤞 ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ✦ BLURB ✦ Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now . . . ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Book Challenges: • Cover buy by @pagesandbeyond #beyondpages • An award winner and fast paced reading by @booknooknerd84 #booknookbingo ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ #bookstagram #flatlay #fiction #classicbooks #thehandmaidstale #margretatwood #dystopianbooks #scifibooks #adultfiction #redbookcovers #bookish #booksandtea #paperback #bookaddict #neutralbookaesthetic #bookishaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CSjh-xQltPt/?utm_medium=tumblr
