Overview
[...]other research shows that writing expressively about a trauma can benefit victims, if they use the writing exercise as a vehicle to make sense of and understand the experience, probing into its causes and consequences and determining what they have learned from it, rather than to vent about it. When I was in college, V-Day programming included a production of the Monologues and a \"speak-out\" event at which women told the stories of their assault in confessional style before an audience there to help them feel \"empowered,\" to use the favored word. Over nine hundred of them signed a petition saying the sculpture, part of a larger exhibition at the college's Davis Museum, was a \"source of apprehension, fear, and triggering thoughts regarding sexual assault.\" [...]looking at life through the lens of fear blinds people to a wider, deeper reality.
