Recall that Pennebaker and Beale (1986) asked some participants to keep journals in which they described a traumatic event and asked other participants to keep journals about trivial events.
 
  Although writing about traumatic events initially contributed to negative mood and high blood pressure, over the following six months, those who opened up experienced fewer illnesses. How does Pennebaker explain these and similar results with first-year college students and Holocaust survivors?
  a. Fighting back traumatic thoughts can take a toll on our bodies.
  b. Feedback from others corrects pessimistic attributional styles.
  c. Thinking and talking about traumatic events helps us habituate to them.
  d. Reflecting on traumatic events reduces our need for support from others.
