Expressive Journaling is a very intuitive and objective way of journaling. Compared to normal journaling it’s like peeling layers of an onion to get to a deeper place of understanding as opposed to journaling about your day or week. The layers are snippets of whatever comes to your mind which after a slight pause will reveal the next thing and the next thing until eventually you have a fuller picture and an empty mind on that subject.
I have created an expressive journal with 6 specific questions to help guide you through this step of the method. This sometimes might be a scary prospect especially if you haven’t done it before. You might be worried about particular intense emotions that you have felt before with old memories? So always go at your own pace, be in a safe and calm environment where you won’t be disturbed and go easy on yourself.
