I have to agree. You have to work at this. Having a councillor that pats you on the head and sends you on your way will do you no good. Journalling works because you can not hide from yourself. Still praise for a job well done is nice.

Here for you

Hi Samantha,

I am a big fan of writing and journaling. I liked your suggestion here.

I had a counsellor who suggested that since journaling was causing me upset lately, I should just stop doing it for a while. She was not using CBT with me.

I think I disagree with her, because she and I did not explore why some journaling sessions were leaving me upset. I now think it was / is because I am grieving and experienced a lot of major loss in my life over the last 4 years that has not been addressed by me - or anyone else for that matter.

Journaling has been the way i've used to make sense of my journey. I have lost significant relationships in the last 4 years and no one around me even comforted me or acknowledge these losses I had endured for the first year. I repressed the feelings that came from ending relationships that were causing me too much stress.

I don't think you would be surprised to hear then that I now struggle with anger issues. I get really angry sometimes as part of my panic attacks. I am grieving complicated relationships. Can you help me to understand what I should do to address the anger and upset I am feeling these days?

Members,

Are thoughts lurking in the back of your head? Is there something troubling you? Write it down. We spoke about journaling and writing down your thoughts and emotions, yet occasionally, there just isn’t the time, so point form!

Have your fun pad and pen near by!

Did you come to a realization?
Did your mood change?
Do you see a pattern?
How is your mood today?
What are you eating?
Are you angry?
Are you happy?
Did you reach a goal?

That’s right it is all relative!

Take the weekend and sort it out, knowing your triggers, emotions, situations, and food consumptions can move you forward and help better assess your situation.
