The Journal to the Self course is a writing program that focuses on self-awareness and personal growth. It covers 18 different journaling techniques. These techniques will help you to explore the various aspects of yourself, your life and your relationships with other people. This might interest you if you are considering change. You will benefit if you want to record your joys, or work through something which is concerning you. The techniques are also helpful if you have experienced loss, or you just want to live differently.
Kathleen Adams, psychotherapist and Director of the Centre for Journal Therapy, developed the program in 1985. The Journal to the Self course has successfully run in countries around the world for decades.
Benefits of this program are:
- the emphasis is on capturing your thoughts, emotions, intuition, and uncovering the hidden parts of yourself
- how you write or what you write about is up to you
- your privacy is valued above sharing
- the range of techniques offers something for everyone
- class sizes are small to enable self exploration
- through self-exploration, personal growth can occur
*Please note this is a writing course. It is NOT therapy.
