I used to journal, before internet and email were around, but I've forgotten what good it is. Even though my T doesn't respond to my emails, I like knowing that she reads them. She told me that I'm the only one with me 24/7 so she wants me to try journaling--for myself. It's okay to bring it to my sessions, and it's still okay to email if I really can't help it, but she asked me to try.
I like to write, so it's not that. But what am I going to get out of emailing ABOUT her and not TO her? It will be the same stuff, just not sent to her.
