jennifer has had a troubled past and has been emotionally affected by her parents’ divorce. jennifer’s therapist suggests that she write a book about her life; he says that this will be therapeutic for jennifer and might help her get closure on her past. which of the following guidelines should jennifer follow while attempting to write this book?

○ she should explore various topics through her writing.
○ she should focus on punctuation, grammar, and spelling while writing.
○ she should dedicate herself to a few minutes of writing each day.
○ she should write about her negative thoughts and emotions, even if this makes her uncomfortable.

Explanation:

To achieve therapeutic closure, Jennifer should address her negative thoughts/emotions (even if uncomfortable) as writing about them helps process past trauma. Exploring various topics is unfocused, focusing on grammar/punctuation is not therapeutic, and a few minutes daily may not be enough for deep exploration of her troubled past.

Answer:

D. She should write about her negative thoughts and emotions, even if this makes her uncomfortable.
