This review is from: Discovering Ourselves Through Acts of Creation: The Healing Tools of Journaling (Spiral-bound)

I am a Ph.D. in psychology in private practice and I keep this workbook in my office for my patients. Journaling is one of the best methods to develop an awareness of emotions and behavior.

This is a method of unearthing the cement that creates rumination and obsession and does not allow resolution. This workbook is a process that individuals, both male and female can use to get the benefits of journaling and work toward true resolution.

For therapists it takes away the need to explain why journaling will provide a step that is not available during sessions.

Writing [not typing] is an underused tool that makes a big difference. This workbook allows the person to utilize that tool, successfully.

This was a real gem of a find. It is well written and provides everything necessary to get the benefits of journaling. Ms. Peck has done an extraordinary job of putting everything together in one workbook. Just excellent!

I am a mental health counselor and use journaling not only with my clients, but with the college students I teach. It's such a valuable tool for self-discovery and expression. This workbook offers step-by-step exercises, examples, and inspiration appropriate for the novice journaler to the more experienced journaler looking for fresh ideas.
