The Role of Journaling

Journaling is one of the simplest but most powerful therapeutic tools.

How it helps

  • Gets thoughts out of your head
  • Helps organize emotions
  • Clarifies patterns and triggers
  • Builds self-awareness

How to do it

  • Write without censoring
  • Use prompts: “What am I feeling right now?”, “What’s taking up mental space?”
  • Don’t overthink grammar or structure

Use journaling to reflect — not ruminate.
