As faithful followers, you know we love journaling - all kinds of journaling. Journaling is an opportunity to pour out your heart and soul without worrying about Sr. Mary Punctuation grading your spelling or sentence structure. Journaling is also meant to be a time for self-reflection and creativity. You can journal about anything, anyone, or what you’re grateful for. There really is no wrong or right way to journal.
Recently, we learned of a new type of journaling called expressive writing. By definition, it is a therapeutic tool to help identify the emotions we experience as a result of a traumatic event or experience. The good news is you don’t need to see a therapist or obtain a prescription for this treatment. Time, consistency, and insight are all that are needed to be successful.
As you’ve heard us say time and time again, thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through our fingers. Join us for this episode and learn how expressive writing is yet another resource to help untangle our emotions.
