Comfort in Communicating: There is a basic human comfort in communicating deep feelings. When you voice your concerns, somehow you may be able to see things differently, simply by talking out loud, for "a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved".
Understanding How You Feel: Talking about something may help you know how you feel about it. If you have been thinking about something, you may find that you have already decided on the answer without being aware of it.
Addressing Your Fears: By talking about your fears or concerns, you feel that your fears or worries are 'normal'. Talking about a fear or a worry often stops it from growing in our minds. Once the fear or concern is out in the open and is being talked about, we can put it into a better perspective.
Strengthens Relationships: A conversation about something important makes a bond between people that is unique and valuable in itself.
