"Every time one of us lifts a little bit of shame or breaks through in some kind of way, it's something that's done for all of us," says Barrow. "I don't think that everyone should be required to do it this way, but a lot of therapists do suggest writing. When we write things down, we have to follow through our ideas—it's mapping our ideas, mapping where they come from, mapping our reactions to them and expressing them. So you're much more likely to catch those places where you do blame yourself. You spot the places where you really need to grow, or where you could have more fun."
