when you're jammed up and the feelings are stuffed for whatever reason journaling can help. i found when i balked my T re this, then tried to journal, the feelings rolled out on the paper. i had no need to re-read it cause it was cathartic to just write how i felt-frustration, non-validation and my anger at the other person, etc.
just me, i'm not journaling for response but merely getting it out there in any way i can. sometimes there's no possibility of my getting what i need. that's particularly when i journal.
