Riordan (1996) recommended that professional counselors should make sure that there are no issues that may arise that the student may not be able to handle when assigning therapeutic writing. This suggests that counselors should only assign therapeutic writing after a thorough assessment of their clients' readiness to engage in such an intervention, and take into consideration any potential risks that may arise. While it may be helpful for counselors to provide some guidance on what to write about, telling students exactly what to write about may limit their ability to explore their thoughts and feelings in a meaningful way. Additionally, therapeutic writing may be a valuable intervention to consider even before trying other interventions, as it may help clients gain insight into their feelings and experiences.
