My T is of two minds on journalling. He thought I needed to journal more. You'd think I would like to journal being an English teacher, but I really am completely ambivalent about it for myself. I'm not one to want to stew over my thought and feelings all the time, so it just seems like I have to force myself.

On the other hand, he had my husband limit the amount of time he was journalling. In my husband's case, he was getting kind of obsessive about it and journalling rather than directly communicating. He was getting stuck in his head and his thoughts just kept spiralling. Journalling was counterproductive for him.
