Whenever I sit down and talk with someone about their coping skills, one of the first things I ask is if they have tried writing about it, in particular, my middle school and high school clients. I do this for several reasons:
It’s easier to write about than talk about hard things.
Journaling helps you process what’s happening.
It’s convenient.
It’s not graded
It can help you solve a problem
It can help you re-frame your thinking
To hear more about what I mean, take a listen!
