I work with clients of diverse backgrounds on a multitude of concerns. My approach is, at times, directive, yet always curious, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and validating.

At First it may, just because you are reliving what you feel bad about, but once you have let it out and its not bottled up anymore you will start to feel lmuch better.

usually not, once saying something aloud you often feel less pressured and weighed down by the issue that has been kept inside of you...

While talking about a traumatic event can be difficult, it can also let you accept what happened and help you decide how to move forward. It's a good idea not to get stuck in bad memories, but putting them out in a coherent order, especially to a receptive, trustworthy audience, can help you get over a bad event.
