Expressive and literary writing is a way of putting thoughts and feelings into words as a therapeutic tool. This technique is based on the belief that writing about memories, problems, feelings and concerns can help to relieve stress and heal psychological wounds. It also promotes health, well being and personal growth and restores psychological balance. There are several different types of expressive and literary writing. A popular one is journal therapy, which focuses on expressing hidden emotions and exploring the self. Other examples are letter writing therapy, story writing and poetry therapy. The experience of expressive writing encourages people to put their emotions and memories into words, which in some way provides therapeutic release. I became aware that expressive and literary writing as a way of healing was neglected in clinics in the Arabic world in general, and in Kuwait in particular. I began to think seriously about conducting a study of the attitudes of Kuwaiti woman towards writing therapy, with a focus on its therapeutic effects. This is the first study its kind in the Arabic world. In this article I have tried to concentrate on the therapeutic effects of expressive and Literary writing through workshop and writing exercises for Kuwaiti women. I have also studied the role of creative writing in the life of a famous Kuwaiti story writer, who suffered from her society's misunderstanding of her thoughts and beliefs. One of the difficulties with the research was that some women did not accept this type of therapy because they were used to talking about their feelings and problems. They wanted someone to listen to them and focus on their need. It was difficult to persuade them to let their pens go on paper.
