Writing a journal has been a big part of my own life ever since I began to examine the inside of my head. I’ve used it to express how I felt when I couldn’t express it anywhere else. It’s been a way I can pin down rushing thoughts and wayward feelings. I’ve sorted through choices and experimented with alternate points of view in my journals. I’ve used some parts of my journals in these blog posts and my novels.
I often recommend journaling to clients. They often want some tips on how to journal and I’ve meant to write a post about it; but then I came across a post by a subscriber to this blog. She has her own blog, elizablooms. Her article, The Ultimate Guide to Journaling for Mental Health is the ultimate guide, as good as any I might write.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor and certified alcohol and substance abuse counselor in private practice with more than 30 years experience.
My newest book is The Road to Reconciliation: A Comprehensive Guide to Peace When Relationships Go Bad. I recently published a workbook connected to it titled, How to Make an Apology You’ll Never Have to Make Again.
I also have another self help book, Constructive Conflict: Building Something Good Out of All Those Arguments.
I’ve also published two novels, a satire of the mental health field: Fate’s Janitors: Mopping Up Madness at a Mental Health Clinic, and Intersections , which takes readers on a road trip with a suicidal therapist.
