Intervention 6 / planning steps
After talking with the therapist and art therapist.
Expressive writing is a form of therapeutic writing that allows individuals to explore and process their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It involves putting personal experiences, thoughts, and emotions into words on paper without worrying about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. This type of writing is often used for self-exploration, self-expression, and emotional healing. Research has shown that expressive writing can have various psychological and emotional benefits, such as reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing overall well-being.
Expressive writing is a creative tool that already exists.
Free writing is not present in academic terms.
Normally, writing naturally creates awareness. However, when there is burnout, it is essential to examine what needs to be done to address it. Explore the factors, goals, values, and meaning of life.
At the end of the research, tell them to take care of yourself. Addressing individuals experiencing burnout emphasises that they already have many observable traits. Make it understandable to them. They might not adopt it even if it works because it might not be their way. It helps them only if they prefer other methods.
Plan

It only assists them if they do not resonate with other approaches.
- Encourage seeking feedback. Also, explain that there are numerous tools available. Describe what each tool entails.
