In this episode, I’m breaking down the four biggest reasons journaling often feels unhelpful. I’ll share what might be holding you back (such as performing instead of processing or avoiding real feelings) and offer simple ways to shift your approach so that journaling actually helps you regulate your emotions, find clarity, and feel more grounded. If journaling hasn’t worked for you before, this episode will show you how to make it a powerful tool for your emotional resilience.Related Episodes:<a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/83-how-many-journals-do-you-need-my-1-tip-for-beating/id1614195474?i=1000722931250'>83 | How Many Journals Do You Need?
