When we keep our troubles bottled up, this can create more unintended problems. The brain has the absurd ability to overthink a situation. It can turn a worry into an unmitigated crisis.
Talking about our concerns with a trusted person can help us work out what is bothering us and to figure out what we can do about it. It also helps us to understand how and why we think and feel the way we do. Such insight increases our ability to handle future thoughts and emotions.
Talking is an important part of our relationships. It can strengthen our ties with other people and help us stay in good mental health. At the same time, when we feel listened to we feel others care about us and what we have to say.
It is great if we discover specific actions that help us to resolve or improve our situation. But the ability to verbalise our thoughts and emotions can, itself, be a part of the solution.
Talking about our concerns is like getting enough sleep, eating well and exercising. All these efforts contribute to the improvement of our well-being.
