I have a drawer filled with spiral notebooks from previous therapies. From 1983 on! I used to write all about my sessions and also stuff I couldn't say to my Ts. There was no internet so writing or typing were my only options. I chose writing. There's too much to read now but sometimes I do. At the time, I read some excerpts from my journals to my T because I couldn't talk to them.

My T has suggested journaling but my hand gets tired. Maybe that's an excuse! I also think it's because I post so much on this forum. I don't feel like journaling.
