Joanne Smith explores ways to release emotions through journaling, pretend phone calls, or talking to a friend. She tried journaling without rereading entries and was surprised by how much it helped. She's offering free coaching sessions now before she gets too busy later in the year.
Some people have never done journaling ever, and they've still recovered. And some people have only journaled and done nothing else and recovered. So there is absolutely no right or wrong. The question is, would you do this if you were well? And what's the intention behind it? Because my intention in the beginning was, let's give this a shot. What's to lose? And I was pleasantly surprised with the result. I was pleasantly surprised, but I think I had the initial let it out and then I didn't go back and revisit that. So yeah, have a mess around, you can do it however you like, you can do a pretend telephone call and don't even record it anyway, you can just hold Hold the phone up to your ear and, right, I just need to share some things. Right, I'm gonna let it out. Or you can even do that with a friend, someone who really is— you genuinely trust that you can be unique, share raw, as in the real stuff, not a held-back version of it. And good luck with it. Get in touch if you want to chat more, if you want to do any sessions with me. take advantage of the fact that I do have complimentary sessions and it can really help you to unpick the root cause of what you've got going on. Please take advantage because when I, at some point this year, it's going to get to the point where I'll get too busy. I'll be so busy that I probably might not be able to do those anymore. So I really want you guys that have been with me for the last few years to please spend the time with me because there's nothing, there's no cheesy sales in the background, it's not me.
