I read a life changing book this summer. It’s been sooo good for my mental health and my body, putting into practice the specific type of journaling the author teaches on in the book. If your emotions and nervous system have felt chaotic and out of control, this episode is for you! God truly does want us well, body AND mind and journaling is a such a gift from the Lord for emotional AND physical health.
