    Interesting. And by all means, instigate away, Puffer.

    What interests me most of all is whether writing about an experience can get at the somatic/affective elements sufficiently as does EMDR. When patients have had talk therapy about a traumatic event and then get EMDR, they typically say it was deeper, more in the body, and that talk therapy was more cognitive. So I'm wondering whether writing in a journal can get at the somatic aspects as well. I don't know what they measured and how in this study --- thanks for mentioning it.
