I may go back to journaling more because then there is no way to hit the "send" button!  |
What works for me is pen and paper. I much rather write me thoughts out by hand than on the computer. I have a separate 'regular' journal as well. Writing letters to my therapist frees up a lot of space in my mind.

I feel like it's a one-sided conversation with her. I have this need to talk to her between sessions and this keeps me from 'annoying' her and stressing over email. (I put 'annoy' in quotes 'cause I'm the one who's annoyed by it.) My other journal is more like what you describe as 'a conversation with myself'.
