Why do you think it's weak? It seems analogous to taking psych drugs to me; possibly more constructive because it's aimed at resolving problems as much as possible and not simply managing them.

Well, that's the beauty of journalling. You can write it all down -- then it's your choice whether to keep it private. You could even destroy what you write afterwards. Sometimes, it's just the process of forming coherent thoughts and expressing them that's therapeutic. Other times, bringing the thoughts into your consciousness sort of 'highlights' them and helps you discover what you need to deal with.
