I journal sometimes, though not because my T said to. I think it's helpful to do, and I usually feel pretty good after I do it. Something that helps me sit down and do it is to have no expectations on what I journal about, or how long my writing is. I just write whatever I think of, sorta like a stream of consciousness thing. For a little while I was doing it every day, but lately it's been every couple of weeks. I want to get back to doing it more often because I do enjoy it.
