One of the best things about writing rather than talking about a problem is that no one has to sit there and absorb your feelings. Eliminating the second party factors out judgment or secondary feelings that may occur. It also empowers you to deal with your problems on your own. It gives you full responsibility. Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we all handled our own problems and took full responsibility for our actions? Imagine what your workplace would look like, or even your household. It goes for the old saying, you can't change other people but you can change yourself.
Exercise 14 is described by the author as a type of exorcism. You write about the emotion you hate the most to feel. There is no limitation on how you word anything - you can be as awful as you want to be because when you are finished, just rip it up.
I would share mine but it's in little tiny pieces... which by the way, other methods include burning the paper or using water works for some people. Just don't burn anything else besides the paper!
