Yazma, bireyin kendi içindeki varoluşsal sorunları ele almasına yardımcı olarak, varoluşsal değişimi kolaylaştırabilir. Yazma, bireyin işlevsiz düşünce kalıplarını fark etmesine ve gözden geçirmesine, kendisi ve yaşamı hakkında yeni bir perspektif bulmasına yardımcı olabilir. Yazı terapisi, varoluşsal krizlerde bireyin öz analizini teşvik ederek anlam arayışını ve varoluşsal yeniden çerçevelemeyi destekleyebilir. Yazmak, travma sonucu oluşan güçsüzlük duygusunu azaltarak kendi kendini iyileştirme sürecinde yardımcı olabilir. Yazı terapisi, travmatik olayları manipüle etmek ve yeniden şekillendirmek için bir araç olarak kullanılarak, duygusal gerçekleri aktarmayı sağlar. Türkçe alan yazına bakıldığında uygulamalı ve klinik psikolojide yazı terapisinin kullanımı hakkında çalışmaya rastlanmamaktadır. Yazı terapisi, duygusal, psikolojik ve fiziksel sorunları ele almak için yazma eylemini kullanan bir terapi şeklidir. Farklı teknikler kullanılır ve bağımsız veya terapist eşliğinde yapılabilir. Duygusal iyileşme, zihinsel büyüme ve kişisel gelişim sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı yazı terapisinin potansiyel uygulanabilirliğini incelemektir. Araştırmada veri toplama yolu olarak, "belge tarama- literatür tarama" yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Yazı terapisi, ruhsal bozukluklarla baş etmek için etkili bir yöntemdir. Travma sonrası stres, anksiyete, depresyon, obsesif-kompulsif bozukluk, yas ve kayıp, madde bağımlılığı, yeme bozuklukları, kişilerarası ilişki sorunları, iletişim becerisi sorunları ve düşük öz saygı gibi durumlar üzerinde olumlu etkileri vardır. Yazı terapisinin kısa vadeli etkileri bazen rahatsızlık hissi veya olumsuz ruh hali olabilir, ancak uzun vadede birçok zihinsel ve fiziksel sağlık yararı sağlayabilir. Yazı terapisi, duygularını ifade etmekte güçlük çeken bireylere yardımcı olabilecek etkili bir psikoterapi yöntemini temsil etmekte ve klinik psikolojideki bir dizi psikopatoloji sorunu için etkili, uygulanabilir ve ekonomik bir terapi seçeneğidir. Bununla birlikte, yazı terapisinin etkilerinin ne kadar uzun süreli olduğu konusunda daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
