Pen Therapy

Have you ever felt like screaming? Have you ever gotten upset with someone to the point of not wanting to speak to them ever again?
Everyone gets upset from time to time. Everyone needs to "Vent" every once in awhile. It's nothing abnormal. Anger isn't anything to hide from or ignore. But what's most important here is how we react to our anger.
And here's where pen therapy comes in. Pen therapy can be used with relatives, associates, pen pals, prison pen pals, anyone. This type of therapy can be reserved for a badgering school teacher, a nagging boss, or maybe an annoying friend.
Pen therapy is easy, refreshing, and sometimes time consuming.
You want to know how it works? Well, first of all, you grab a pen and a sheet of paper. Or maybe you can grab a few sheets of paper. Second, sit think and think about the person you are upset with. Oh, and be sure to be in a place where you will have plenty of peace and quiet. Now, really allow all the things this particular person had done to run through your mind. Allow yourself to FEEL IT! Allow yourself to reach your boiling point. And then . . . . start writing.
Write down everything you'd like to tell them. Don't cut any corners. Don't hold your tongue. If you choose to, throw every bad word that comes to mind into this letter to the person in question. Let it all out!
After you've written your letter, blasting your person of interest, read over it. Then read it again.. You can even read it aloud.
And after you've read your letter a few times, after you've gotten it all out, ball it up, shred it, dispose of it, smile, and move on. You will be amazed. You will be refreshed. This truly is therapy. Pen Therapy. And it works.
DON'T STOP!!!!!!
