Writing Poetry Beats The Blues
The act of putting feelings into words is often cathartic because it inhibits parts of the brain linked to emotional turmoil, and increases activity in the region to do with self-control, as observed by Dr Matthew Lieberman, a neuroscientist at the University of California, and his colleagues.
The
researchers
say
that
the
quality
of
the
verse
or
prose
written
has
no
bearing
on
the
effect
on
the
author,
less
vivid
and
descriptive
the
piece,
the
better.
With
these
latest
findings
the
researchers
wish
to
develop
new
forms
of
therapy
for
fears
and
social
phobias.
Expression
oneself
in
words
was
almost
an
unintentional
emotional
regulation.
"It seems to regulate our distress. I don't think that people sit down in order to regulate their emotions but there is a benefit," the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
"I think it could play a role in why many people write diaries or write bad lyrics to songs - the kind that should never be played on the radio," he added.
For the study, the brains of 30 participants were scanned while they describing in words distressing pictures. It was found that writing reduced the activity in the amygala, a part of the brain connected with emotion and fear and increased activity in the pre-frontal cortex, the mind's regulator. It was concluded that the act of writing about an emotion calmed the brains and restored mental balance.
"If you ask people then they don't think that it serves an emotion regulation but when you look at the brain that looks like what is going on," he added. "The more frontal activity we see, the less amydala response. There seems to be a see-saw affect," he added. AGENCIES
