00:00:01.067 --> 00:00:02.234
One of the most common concerns

00:00:02.234 --> 00:00:04.400
patients have about doing Written Exposure Therapy

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.467
is that they're not a good writer.

00:00:06.467 --> 00:00:09.834
They often might talk about how they weren't good in English,

00:00:09.834 --> 00:00:11.534
it wasn't their skill.

00:00:11.534 --> 00:00:13.968
We often find that the best narratives

00:00:13.968 --> 00:00:16.601
are ones that are actually written poorly

00:00:16.601 --> 00:00:19.300
in terms of spelling and grammar structure,

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.234
and that's because this is the real raw emotion

00:00:22.234 --> 00:00:23.801
that a person is feeling,

00:00:23.801 --> 00:00:26.334
and that comes across in the narrative.

00:00:26.334 --> 00:00:29.567
So if you're not a good writer, that's not a problem at all.

00:00:29.567 --> 00:00:32.667
As long as you're willing to confront your trauma memory,

00:00:32.667 --> 00:00:34.801
then this will be a great treatment for you.
