Writing it Out: Journaling as an Adjunct to Therapy

I always enjoy taking courses from PDR. The material is so easy to understand.

The course material was very interesting and helpful.

I found this information helpful for dealing with self?efficacy for my weight reduction consults and bariatric surgery patients

I enjoyed the course. It got into so many aspects of journaling that would help me to use this tool much better with clients.

This was one of the best and most helpful so far.  I loved it!

The course is good as it is. Although I have been using journaling for some time, I did learn some new information.

Most interesting. I learned a lot that I think will be useful.

It was a great source of information for offering clients more options than freewriting and letters (as I was doing with clients). Additionally if gave me language to better explain the benefits of journaling to clients who have been "nervous" to start writing it out.

Thanks it was helpful with some ideas I will try with my clients.

After taking this course, I am looking forward to taking the next level of instruction.

As always, I am very pleased with the content and presentation of your courses.  Thank you!

Thank you for this informative and interesting course.

Very good information. Great course.

I teach journaling and found the material a nice overview!

This was a useful course for my practice, as I often have clients journal while in therapy. 

This course was very informative and easy to understand!

I do seminars on stress management for leaders, and the journaling process would be a great adjunct to that. Nice course!

Great course. It will help me with some current clients who are using journaling to go deeper.  Thank you.

Very insightful and informative.

Useful for clients and personal development.

Good presentation of the benefits of journal writing, and clear guidelines for application.

Therapists engaging clients in any aspect of journaling could benefit from this resource as a guide to gaining solid intermediate level knowledge before launching such an endeavor.

A great course with practical suggestions and specific exercises to integrate into practice.

Great course with excellent information and practical tips! Loved the real life examples. 

Great topic. Would have loved to see some appendices with lots of examples of writing suggestions or assignments. The writing examples were the best part next to the conceptual stuff. 

Will use these techniques in practice.

I learned new tools and ideas that I can offer clients in order for them to go deeper in their work and learn even more about themselves.  Excellent format, easy to follow and implement!

This is a really great article/continuing education course.

Enjoyed. Love to journal myself. Find it insightful...now I know why. Thank you. Would recommend this course for an alternate way to deal with issues that hold you back.

Eager to put these ideas to use in my practice!

Formats for journaling that could be printed out and given to clients would  be helpful.

This course provided a great deal of helpful information concerning implementing journaling in the therapeutic process effectively.

I really loved this course. I have used journal writing for a long time, but I loved the creative and practical ideas for specific ways to practice this therapeutic technique. Really great. Thanks!

I appreciated the stories and testimonials.

I really enjoyed the course.  It was thorough but also easy to understand.

Excellent course. Highly recommend it.

Very well presented with subjective and objective research, examples, and testimonials.

I was randomly searching the internet trying to find information on journaling that I could pass on to my PHP group/private practice clients since questions of journaling arise often.  I am very pleased that I found this course.  I found it to be very informative and am looking forward to using it with my clients.  The information was concise and exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you very much!

Great course; great information.  Only suggestion would be an outline that I could keep as a "cheat sheet" of the concepts to apply.  Thank you!

Really appreciated the concise explanations of different types of journaling as they relate to therapy.

I wlll now feel more confident in suggesting (and discussing) journaling with clients.

Great information on effective use and methods of Journaling in therapy.

I use journaling with my clients and for my personal therapy therefore it was nice to have some additional tools i can use.

Thank you for a wonderful learning experience.  I'm excited about using some of the techniques for my own personal growth!

 I am hoping to introduce some of my patients to journaling. I believe that this could help my patients stay focused between sessions.

I love this course! Very useful and helpful information for clients.  THANK YOU!

Great examples, especially the Behavior Log.

I enjoyed this course. I love adding new techniques to my counseling tool box. I also appreciated the case studies for further comprehension.

The presentation of this course was clear and well written.  The test was about important, significant concepts, not obscure issues.  Great test.

Great class. I read the material some time ago and used what I learned in a journal workshop.

This was a valuable inservice for what I already do with children. Now I have many more effective tools and validation of the power of journalling.

I am a writer and counselor so I have always given journals to my clients in our first session. Now I have more ways to interest them in using the journals on a regular basis. I especially like the techniques given and the idea of writing prompts. Thanks for an excellent course.

Loved this book.  Can't wait to read the next journaling book. Thank you.

Great course. I enjoy courses where techniques are described and explained. Thank you!

Even though I have been practicing for about 40 years, I have not engaged the process of Journaling very much.  This course was an eye-opener as to the creative ways to utilze this technique. Thank you.

Excellent course. Well-organized. This CE article gave me expanded ideas of how I might utilize Journaling with my patients or use journaling for personal reasons.

This was a good introduction to journaling. Some helpful suggestions.

This course presented a lot of helpful detail about one therapeutic tool of journaling. Thorough material. Thank you.

I use journaling with some my clients now, but had never thought about them writing in dialogue form. This is a great idea, especially when they are struggling with an interpersonal issue.

A great adjunct to therapy that is useful and beneficial. Thanks!

Course organized and reinforced strategies for more effective use of journaling, therapeutically.

THe ideas presented in this course on Journaling in Therapy were insightful and interesting. I will definitely use some of the ideas presented here in my professional work. Thank you!

I have had a couple of clients who have come in with two to four pages a week. It continues to amaze me things they shared on paper they struggled to discuss.

So many great techniques and suggestions. I liked this course a lot. Thank you.

Exactly what I needed. I love that I could also download the PDF and keep for future reference.
