Abstract
Positive expressive writing is a therapeutic technique that involves identifying, reflecting upon and writing expressively about positive aspects in life. This discussion piece provides a summary of the expressive writing paradigm and research findings on positive writing. In addition, it considers the possible mechanisms underpinning the link between positivity, written emotional expression and improved health and wellbeing. The importance of developing widely accessible, cost-effective and easily administered interventions for the general population are discussed. Further, this piece argues that research on who these interventions work for, how they should be delivered, and the aspects of health they influence, is warranted.
