I will say that I think I remember her refer to another client that brought in their journal every week. Maybe I should ask her about this and if we could do that. I am not journaling hardly at all but I used to a lot in the past when all the crap hit the fan, I was hospitalized, etc.
Also I journaled a lot as a kid. It was the only place I felt safe. T asked me where I felt safe in session last week as a kid and I had forgot about the journal so I just told her the field behind my house. As a kid my mom would kick me out of the house cause she was screaming and going crazy and trying to clean the house. I just got in her way so she'd tell me to "get out of here". So I would just go to that field and I guess I did feel safe there. In my journal when I was 8 I wrote I wanted to kill myself because of my mom. I even wrote how I would do it. Little did I know I'd try to do that twice.
