Reflective and Expressive Journaling (Part Three)

Kay Kamienski

This course focuses on the scientific findings behind journaling as a form of narrative therapy. In part three we will focus on the reflective piece of journaling. We will use a combination of different exercises and prompts to help students identify the personal strengths, values, opportunities for growth, and process traumatic events. 

Objectives for all three parts:

• Identify the key benefits of journaling, its different forms, barriers, and how to obtain buy-in 
• Understand multiple journaling styles with their strengths and weaknesses
• Be able to understand how to use journaling as a reflective and therapeutic process
