Bottling it up 'can ease trauma'

People who do not talk about traumatic experiences can fare better than those who "let it all out", say researchers.

The University at Buffalo study compared the progress of 3,000 people who took different approaches over two years following the 9/11 attacks.

It found people initially unwilling to talk were less likely to be adversely affected two years later.

We note with amusement that we found this report on the BBC web page.

Of course they failed to mention dressing up in women's clothing and doing silly walks helps also

YEAH ! I was right all along to keep a stiff upper lip and drown my sorrows in booze like a real fifties guy instead of moaning and crying on every shoulder available !

I think if you're French, you also have the option of staring soulfully into your cafe au lait whilst you stir in the sugar with a tiny, tiny spoon.
