Why Your Therapist Wants You to Journal

Journaling is NOT therapy but journaling can make your trip to your therapist even more effective. In this episode, we're chatting with licensed counselor Lauren Packer of Packer Counseling LLC about why she asks her clients to journal during and after each session and how she uses journaling in her own life. We also discuss all the different ways to journal. Yes, you can write in a pretty notebook with a pretty pen but you can journal with video, voice notes, pictures and much more.
