Journaling (expressive writing or gratitude journaling) is a widely used non-pharmacological tool for coaching and counseling and the treatment of a wide variety of health challenges. Writing about stressful and traumatic events can significantly benefit our physical and emotional health. In fact, studies show that time spent journaling about our deepest thoughts and feelings can even reduce the number of sick days we take off work. Journaling can help us accept rather than judge our mental experiences, resulting in fewer negative emotions in response to stressors.

Journaling, a therapeutic intervention used in many different disciplines and psychological approaches, is easy to implement and get started and it can benefit people experiencing an array of health challenges including and not limited to:

• anxiety
• depression
• stress management
• reflection
• recovery

With practice, journaling can help process emotions–even ones that have been avoided or held back–and lead to a better understanding of how to proceed.
