I think writing can be therapeutic but with a “shelf life”. By this I mean that you may be dealing with issues you have at the time, but that doesn’t inherently mean the issues are resolved with the completion of the writing project. Issues—variations of past ones in addition to all manner of new ones—will continue to be present in ones life, so—like therapy sessions as opposed to just a single session—you continue the therapeutic cycle of writing and dealing with problems past and present and the ways in which they change or don’t. And blah blah blah.
