Why Journaling?

Journaling is a potent tool for emotional processing, self-reflection, progress tracking, and problem-solving. However, its true power lies in its ability to access our subconscious mind.

Here’s how it works,

Accessing the subconscious mind: Journal taps into our natural stream of consciousness, unveiling thoughts and feelings lurking beneath conscious awareness. This may reveal hidden insights, buried beliefs or fears.

Free Association: Writing without judgment or censorship may bring about free association, which is where one thought naturally leads to another. This process uncovers connections and associations that may remain hidden in day to day thoughts or conversations.

Spotting patterns and triggers: Reflecting on journal entries allows you to discern thought and behavior patterns. For individuals grappling with recurring mental health issues, this can help with pinpointing triggers and root causes. 

Accessing the subconscious mind through journaling helps complement working with a mental health practitioner, especially for long-standing mental health issues. 

More on why subconscious exploration is beneficial for mental health progress:

  • Root cause revelation: many mental health challenges have deep rooted causes. Exploring the subconscious unearths beliefs, memories, and emotions that may have eluded conscious awareness. These hidden elements can contribute to mental health issues. 

  • Addressing automatic responses: the subconscious controls many autonomic and habitual behaviors. BY accessing it, individuals can identify and transform automatic responses, such as fight-or-flight reactions. 

  • Enhancing self awareness: subconscious exploration nurtures self-awareness. Understanding hidden thoughts and emotions fosters true understanding of all parts of you. This awareness empowers you to consciously respond to situations in a way that aligns with your values and authentic self, rather than being solely driven by automatic or unconscious patterns.

  • Long-term transformation: Addressing the subconscious facilitates profound, lasting changes. Rather than merely managing symptoms in the moment, you embark on a journey of deep-seated transformation and personal growth.

Through subconscious work we embrace a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnected nature of thoughts, emotions, memories, and behaviors. This enables a comprehensive and integrated approach to healing. 

Example Prompt

  • What specific event or situation triggered you recently? What emotions did this situation bring up? Write about the trigger and your emotional response in detail.

  • Explore the physical sensations associated with the trigger. Where in your body do you feel that tension, discomfort, or other sensation when you’re triggered? Describe these sensations in detail. 

  • Are there any recurring patterns or themes present within this trigger? Is this trigger something I experience repeatedly? Could this trigger be related to a past experience that may have created the “root” of this trigger?

    I encourage you to explore these deep rooted triggers related to early memories or experiences in a one on one session with a mental health practitioner.
