Journaling can also be a powerful form of therapy, as journaling exercises can bring about self-awareness and improve mental health.

Journal therapy is a stand-alone therapy modality similar to art and music therapy.  Perhaps the biggest difference between journal therapy and simply keeping a journal is the way an individual’s internal thoughts, feelings and experiences are captured. 

Journal therapy allows a person to not only write down their issues and concerns but also be reflective and introspective about them. In this way, journal therapy can be a real agent for change.
