Episode 46: How Journaling Unlocks Your Healing Potential

Episode Description:
This episode originally aired on YouTube. The links mentioned are further down in the description.
I believe journaling can be one of the most important practices on the journey of healing childhood trauma. So much so that I’ve created a few different forms of guided journals for individuals and within in my groups as prompts.
Journaling, for me, is about connecting with what's present in our thoughts, bodies, and the inner world that subconsciously, or even unconsciously directs everything. It's a powerful tool for self-awareness, a crucial step in the healing journey.
In today’s episode, I discuss how to use journaling for healing and the potential challenges and resistance that may arise, including possibly feeling exposed or struggling to express thoughts are common hurdles. And why it’s important to practice navigating through the struggles and any resistance.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on journaling. Is it something you embrace or feel a bit resistant toward? If you do journal, how has it been helpful along the journey?
