Writing releases. It outflows those leftover pent-up forces and holdbacks that inhabit our psyches and minds, and allows them to travel elsewhere. They release space from one's within. Thus catharsis releases one's internal pressures.
Expression alone does not guarantee healing. It is but the expulsion of unneeded sepsis, pus, or blood, but the processes that generated these fluids remain. It is when these processes, leaking or unmanaged, pervade one's organism without awareness or treatment, that useless residues can accumulate and build up pressure, and result in unintended bouts of sadness, anger, and/or frustration that can cause damage or suffering, both to the holder and to those around him.
Hence, knowing one's systems, flows, and recurring patterns of behavior, including those that are difficult to explain or to understand, can lead one to a stabler balance and awarer life.
