Why is journaling different from rumination?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Putting things on paper through journaling (or speaking to someone who just listens, such as in psychotherapy) allows people to express their negative emotions so they can stop thinking about them so much. Rumination, on the other hand, is when people let stressful thoughts run through their minds, over and over.
