Because it causes your brain to process your emotions. Writing things down makes a different part of your brain acknowledge and process your feelings than if you just think about them, and that helps alleviate the discomfort those emotions can cause.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
