Excellent work!
This is stunning. I am curious about expressive writing too.
Thank you, and James Pennebaker has written about the power of journaling for mental health. I may cover him soon in an article.
Yes. That is the work I was referencing. Pennebaker and Evans, Expressive Writing. Do you think we can alter memory this way too?
