Does anyone else's T tell them to journal? If so how often do you do it, do you find it difficult to sit down and do, and do you find it helps?

hi Eleny ,
my therapist told me to journal all the time . I do it if I can every day and at night . I would turn on some relaxing music to help you ease into journaling .Journaling helps me to clear my mind out and helps me to express my feelings. the journal acts like a second " therapist" . it doesn't talk back at you or put you down . it is a tool to have for when you're in between sessions like me . im in between sessions right now with my therapist until March 10 . it's a way to have something written down so that you and your therapist can discuss what's on your mind and your feelings .
