Whenever I sit down and talk with someone about their coping skills, one of the first things I ask is if they have tried writing about it, in particular, my middle school and high school clients. I do this for several reasons:

It’s easier to write about than talk about hard things.

Journaling helps you process what’s happening.

It’s convenient.

It’s not graded

It can help you solve a problem

It can help you re-frame your thinking

To hear more about what I mean, take a listen!
