Anxiety:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"citation-3 recitation citation-end-3\"> When we write about our thoughts and feelings, we activate the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking and emotional regulation.<\/span> <span class=\"citation-4 recitation citation-end-4\">This helps us process emotions, reduce stress hormones like cortisol, and promote a sense of calm.<\/span><span class=\"button-container ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>\n<div class=\"container ng-tns-c2826681289-881 hide\">\n<div class=\"carousel-container
