I journal about emotionally significant events in my life, which ends up mostly being about therapy. I write down everything I can remember from each session, and I love looking back and seeing how far I've come or reading T's words over and over again. Often, I use journaling as a way of emptying out distressing or intense thoughts. It also helps me to think logically and rationally about things. I haven't yet brought my journal to therapy because, to be honest, I don't trust my T enough. What I say to my T is an edited version of the truth, and my journal even might not contain the whole truth if I'm not ready to face it myself.
