Journal writing is defined as the conscious and deliberate use of reflective writing to further mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Therapeutic journaling is the process of writing down our thoughts, emotions and experiences with the purpose of bringing about change, healing and growth. It differs from the process of recording daily events in a diary, which many of us are probably familiar. Therapeutic journaling is much more than recording events, it is about engaging in a therapeutic process in order to bring about the change we are seeking.

Journaling or diary writing as a means of telling our ?stories? has been used by many for decades, however, it is only since the 1930?s that we first started to see the emergence of books and papers that spoke about journal writing as a tool for personal development. Since this time, journal writing has become a well-known resource and tool in the fields of mental health and personal development, so much so that a therapeutic modality known as ?Journal Therapy? has been developed based on the effectiveness of it as a therapeutic intervention.

Therapeutic journaling helps you to delve into your own self-discovery. It helps you to get to know yourself on a deep level. Through journaling you can begin to understand what you are feeling and why you are feeling that way and it provides you with a safe space to begin to process those emotions.
