From a personal experience reading what others have shared has been healing for me (Google has been my best friend along with countless bloggers). On the flip side, as a therapist I have noticed that my sharing has been healing for others.
Why, has sharing been a tool for healing? Because sometimes healing can only begin when there is confirmation that contrary to your worst fear, you are very normal and that what you feel, think and or experience is normal. The problem is we all for whatever reason fear being abnormal so we sweep our perceived unpleasantness under the carpet hiding it from ourselves and fervently against others. But we all sense something somewhere feels a little dirty.
