In Some Religions, Confession Is Viewed as a Helpful Way

In some religions, confession is viewed as a helpful way of dealing with emotional conflict and traumas. Psychological research suggests that this notion:

A) is flawed because such self-revelation often causes overwhelming shame
B) is consistent with findings showing that talking about personal traumas can lead to improved mental and physical health
C) is flawed; there is no evidence for its effectiveness
D) is probably correct, but only if the "confession" is done in writing
