Journaling What is journal therapy? I strongly recommend journaling in addition to your therapeutic process. Journaling is a place to express your feelings and in a private, safe manner. Journaling is a tool for personal discovery and growth and for people who want to heal themselves. There is not a right or wrong way to keep a journal, it doesn’t matter if you can spell or you are not a writer. The purpose is to have a place to express your feelings and emotions uncensored. What are some uses for journal writing?
Problem solving
Taking time for yourself
Recover issues
Recording personal history
Getting over a relationship
Feeling what you are trying to verbalize
Anger you are trying to work out
Keeping a record for your future
Track cycles, patters, and trends in your life
Heal relationships
An extra therapeutic tool
