Suppressing painful memories negatively impacts emotional and physical health, as it both burdens and isolates individuals from processing their guilt and shame.
Engaging in writing and reflective practices allows individuals to navigate their painful experiences, transforming secrecy into understanding, which can alleviate emotional distress.
Memories of our own actions, like cruel behavior towards others, can weigh heavily on our conscience, ultimately leading to physical and emotional consequences if suppressed.
Simply thinking through painful memories without constructive processing leads to rumination, which may exacerbate distress rather than facilitate healing and integration of past experiences.
