As faithful followers, you know we love journaling - all kinds of journaling. Journaling is an opportunity to pour out your heart and soul without worrying about Sr. Mary Punctuation grading your spelling or sentence structure. Journaling is also meant to be a time for self-reflection and creativity. You can journal about anything, anyone, or what you're grateful for. There really is no wrong or right way to journal. Recently, we learned of a new type of journaling called expressive writing. By definition, it is a therapeutic tool to help identify the emotions we experience as a result of a traumatic event or experience. The good news is you don't need to see a therapist or obtain a prescription for this treatment. Time, consistency, and insight are all that are needed to be successful. As you've heard us say time and time again, thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through our fingers. Join us for this episode and learn how expressive writing is yet another resource to help untangle our emotions.Show notes:How Expressive Writing Workshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychiatry-a-history/202011/how-expressive-writing-worksExpressive Writing Can Help Your Mental Healthhttps://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/expressive-writingExpressive Writinghttps://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/write-yourself-well/201208/expressive-writing

In this brave and transparent conversation, Fostering Meditation founder Demetrius Napolitano shares how his experiences in foster care and detention systems caused him trauma and how he was able to foster various seeds of light and hope to heal himself, make meaning, and support others. We discuss: *typical trauma reactions to abandonment *the impact of the environment on healing *race and belonging *spirituality *yoga in schools *Three and a Half Acres Trauma-Informed YTT *trauma-informed considerations for meditation *and so much more... When he was under a year old, Demetrius Napolitano was placed in New York City's foster care system. He was adopted at ten and then put back into foster care three years later before getting adopted a second time at 20. After experiencing 30 different placements, he transitioned from the system when he was 22. During his time in foster care, he was physically, verbally, and sexually abused; placed on psychotropic medications to treat depression, ADHD, and PTSD; and he experienced a short stay inside juvenile detention and a psychiatric hospital before deciding to take charge of his life. After graduating from St. John's University with his associate's in business management, he graduated from New York University with a bachelor's in political science. In 2019, after being introduced to the practice of meditation, he started a GoFundMe, raised over $17,000, and traveled to India to study further how to use Yoga and Meditation to help him heal from the complex trauma he incurred from the foster, criminal and mental institutions. Once Demetrius returned from his healing journey in June 2020, he founded Fostering Meditation (FM) to help young people nurture their mental development through the same tools he would later call "The Five Steps 2 Wellness": Meditation, Yoga, Expressive Writing, Community, & Nutrition. Demetrius envisions brining FM to youth within and without the foster care system nationally, creating more communities of people breathing, meditating, and healing together!

Jeg er på det seneste begyndt at skrive dagbog igen og er blevet mindet om, hvor stor en forskel det kan gøre løbende at skrive tanker og følelser ned. Det at skrive er et terapeutisk værktøj, der er gratis, fleksibelt og tilgængeligt for alle, og jeg er kæmpe fan af af at skrive for at passe på vores mentale helbred (og mit eget). Derfor har jeg lavet en podcastepisode om, hvordan du kan komme i gang. I dagens episode taler jeg om:7 grunde til du får det bedre af at skrive om dine tanker og følelser inkl. mindre stress, integrering af indtryk og af forskellige dele af hjernen, kreative indsigter og andet (se listen længere nede her på siden).Hvordan du får dagbogsskrivning ind i hverdagen, selvom du ikke har så meget tid eller er træt sidst på dagenHvilke faldgruber du skal undgå inkl. at lade din indre kritiker eller selvmedlidenhed få overtaget2 specifikke metoder inkl. dialogøvelsen mellem "frygt" og "ro"En struktureret tilgang til det at skrive dagbog og en mere fri metodeEn tilståelse - hvorfor jeg har haft krise over podcasten på det seneste og hvad, der hjalp på det7 grunde til du får det bedre af at skrive dine tanker og følelser ned Integration - at give udtryk for det, der har gjort indtryk integrerer flere dele af hjernen og forbinder følelser og tankerMindre stress - at forskning peger på, at ekspressiv skrivning nedbringer vores stressniveau og gør vores immunforsvar stærkereFølelsesmæssig afklaring - vi finder ud af hvordan vi har det og bliver mere nærværende, når følelser falder på pladsAfhjælper tankemylder - når vi skriver tanker ned, får vi mere plads i hovedet og kan sove bedreKlog handlekraft - når vi får styr på tanker og følelser ser vi ting mere klar og bliver i stand til at handle og tackle udfordringer på en klog måde.Give slip på fortiden - når vi får mærket følelser omkring ting, der er sket, kan vi ofte forstå dem bedre og give slip på demNye indsigter - vi får adgang til kreative løsninger på problemer og nye indsigter.Tjek også følgende ud...

Writing can be a powerful tool to help people work through challenges in their lives and improve their mental health. James Pennebaker, PhD, of the University of Texas at Austin, talks about why expressive writing can be good for mental health and how to try it. He also discusses his research on language use, and how analyzing the words that people use in their daily lives can offer insights into their emotions, motivations and personality. For transcripts, links and more information, please visit the Speaking of Psychology Homepage.

Co-hosts Ann and Sue discuss this powerful tool directly with the original researcher, Dr. James Pennebaker. While expressive writing is not a simple "elixir" to cure mental or physical illness, Dr. Pennebaker has dedicated years of research and found it to be an effective method of healing for many people. Going straight for the hardest memory is hard, but replicates many techniques used by therapists yet without the cost and accessibility barriers. www.therapistuncensored.com/tu225. www.securerelatingbook.com

On this episode of the "Helping Families be Happy Podcast," host, Christopher Robbins husband and father of nine, residing in the Central Valley of California talks to Mary Potter Kenyon. She holds a BA in psychology from the University of Northern Iowa and is a therapeutic art coach and certified grief counselor trained under renowned grief expert David Kessler. Mary is also an author of six books, including "Expressive Writing for Healing," "Refined by Fire," and "Called to Be Creative."

He asks Mary to share the science behind journaling, its importance for personal development, and ways to develop the habit. 02:43: Mary reminisces about having a little diary with a lock and key when she was 12 but mentions that she got rid of it as she grew up. 02:58: Mary mentions the concept of expressive writing for healing, which is not about passing something down but rather a tool for personal healing. 04:42: The discussion highlights the therapeutic benefits of journaling and how it has been found to be effective in numerous studies and scenarios, making it a valuable tool for individuals facing a range of challenges and emotions. 06:05: Mary addresses common hurdles that people face when starting a journaling practice and she advices on how to begin and what to write about. 08:59: Journaling might not be a daily practice for everyone. It's okay to journal on weekends, once a week, or even less frequently, as long as it fits into your routine and serves as a beneficial outlet for your thoughts and emotions. 10:45: Christopher discusses the various journaling methods he has tried, from hardcover lined journals to leather-bound art paper journals to simple composition notebooks. 11:41: Christopher and Mary discusses whether using technology for journaling is a good or bad thing and explores the convenience and potential drawbacks of digital journaling apps. 13:19: Some people may prefer typing due to comfort or practical reasons, such as arthritis or illegible handwriting.

She highlights how journals and letters can reveal a person's growth, struggles, and the different facets of their life beyond their roles as parents. 19:36: Mary and encourages listeners to consider starting their own journaling practice in the coming year, emphasizing that journaling is a low-cost and accessible way to document their experiences and emotions. 3 Key Points Mary encourages the idea that journaling should be a freeing and expressive practice that suits your unique style and preferences. The key is to make it a personal space where you can process your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without worrying about judgment or rules. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to journaling. It's about finding the time and style that work best for you and making it a meaningful and consistent practice in your life. Mary and Christopher underscores the therapeutic and historical significance of journaling as a tool for personal growth and self-reflection. Tweetable Quotes “Journaling is not a new practice it is historical documents that often exist because people kept journals or diaries. It's a way of preserving history.” – Mary “There are no rules in journaling. You don't have to worry about neat handwriting, perfect spelling, or adhering to specific guidelines. It's a personal space for your thoughts and feelings, and it's okay if it's messy.” – Mary Journaling can help individuals process their thoughts and emotions, whether they are going through difficult times or experiencing moments of gratitude and growth.” - Mary Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple Podcast Editing

In this episode, I explain a specific writing protocol shown in hundreds of scientific studies to significantly improve immediate and long-term health. I explain how to implement this specific protocol, which takes only four days and 15-30 minutes per day. I also explain the mechanism for how the four-day writing protocol affects neuroplasticity (brain rewiring) and brain function in the short and long term. I explain how these brain changes positively impact our physical health, including our system's immune function and thus our ability to combat infections, improve sleep, reduce feelings of physical and emotional pain, lower anxiety, and bring about healing from traumas. This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking better mental and/or physical health through the use of brief yet highly effective science-supported protocols.

The health benefits of therapeutic writing have been studied since the 1980s, but a new study from researchers at Boston University found that writing exposure therapy is as effective as other forms of therapy recommended by the Department of Veterans Affairs to treat post traumatic stress disorder. We talked to one of the authors of the study, Denise Sloan, who's a psychologist and the associate director of the Behavioral Science Division of the National Center for PTSD, and Professor of Psychiatry at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston University.

In this episode, Vicki Atkinson, Brian Hannon and Wynne Leon talk about how writing helps us think and more than once and maybe even get us out of a jam or two. We, the overly-absorbed, over-thinkers who swirl and retread in our own infinity loops of what-ifs and quandaries, and then can hopefully write our way out of those loops. We talk about being part of the writing community in general and the team that makes up the Heart of the Matter. Folks who enjoy telling stories…swapping giggles and epiphanies…all with an eye toward inspiration and greater good. It's podcast time to shoot the breeze about the compulsion to create and to tell stories. Show notes can be found at the Heart of the Matter site at Episode 8: I Write...Because I Wonder

NUGGET CONTEXT Ethan speaks about how Journaling, more specifically, Expressive Writing can act as a distancing mechanism, provide closure and act as a meaning making mechanism to some of the Chatter we experience in our lives. GUEST Ethan is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind. He is an award-winning professor in the University of Michigan's Psychology Department. His research has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The New England Journal of Medicine, and Science. He has recently published the book – Chatter. The book goes deep into talking about the voice in our heads and how we can harness it. Through the book he shows that instead of trying to silence your monkey mind, you can learn to educate it, motivate it, and even reason with it. All of us have experienced what Ethan calls "Chatter". A never-ending loop of negative thoughts that engulf us and paralyse us at certain periods of time. Ethan speaks about the criticality of how we can work with these emotions and harness them without getting stuck in a vicious loop in their grip. Some of the topics that we covered include: a) The role of rituals and how Rafael Nadal uses it in a tennis match b) The fine line between inner voice and inner chatter c) How we can use techniques like Time-travel, Distancing and Experiencing Awe to deal with Chatter d)Role of Journaling in reducing Chatter e) How we should balance out listening and allowing venting and providing coaching while engaging with someone experiencing Chatter Published in Nov 2022.  HOST Deepak is a Leadership Advisor and an Executive Coach.

Welcome to today's show! In today's episode, I list 3 ways writing takes you from hopeless to hopeful:. And I've decided to end the Atheists in Recovery podcast so this is the final episode. I thank you all for listening.   I announce a new project I'm excited about and invite you to join me on my new journey!   WHAT WE'LL LEARN Writing as a coping mechanism. Writing allows us to sit with the uncomfortable feelings and be curious about them-their contours, shapes and sizes.  Writing can help us honor and light up our stories while prompting us to envision our future selves restored and renewed. Writing as a creative outlet. Writing is just one form of creative expression. It's not for everyone but I feel it's easily accessible for all. Writing that heals. I talk about my own journey with writing and how it helped heal my traumatic wounds when therapy seemed like “too much.”  The 13th-century Sufi mystic and poet Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Thinkers from Freud to Brene' Brown have all postulated that there's strength in vulnerability.   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Writing Bravely home page.

People who did Expressive Writing before a surgery healed faster than those who did not journal. A fascinating interview with DR JAMES PENNEBAKER.

At skrive har reddet mit liv mere end én gang. Det kan være svært at sætte en finger på, hvordan og hvorfor det virker, men det gør det i hvert fald for mig og for mange andre. At skrive kan vi bruge til alt muligt. Til at bryde mentale blokeringer, bearbejde følelser eller bare få tankemylder ud af hovedet og ned på papir. Min egen erfaring er, at dét at skrive på jævnlig basis kan være livsforandrende, og det er der også et væld af videnskabelige undersøgelser, der tyder på. I dette indlæg (eller podcastepisoden, som du kan lytte til herunder) viser jeg dig en dagbogsøvelse, som jeg selv bruger for tiden. Den kan ændre dit liv, fordi den hjælper dig til at få bedre dage – én dag ad gangen. Jeg kommer bl.a. ind på: Et par bøger, der handler om, hvordan skrivning kan helbrede og forandre dit livHvorfor jeg synes, at det er svært at holde fast i en skrivepraksis, og hvad jeg gør for at få det til at lykkesEn dagbogsøvelse til din morgen, som består af 3 spørgsmål, hvilket kan ændre din måde at leve på https://open.spotify.com/episode/7nvihfDbVuo2XYiDsir5e4?si=1HByoXM7R8CdubsE42Jn-w Hvorfor virker det at skrive – og hvad siger videnskaben? Man kunne sige mangt og meget om, hvorfor det virker at skrive. Gennem de seneste årtier er der lavet masser af videnskabelige undersøgelser med forskellige typer af skriveøvelser, der tyder på, at skrivning kan gavne ikke bare vores mentale men endda også fysiske helbred. Her vil jeg ikke komme ind på enkelte studier men nævne et par af de bøger, som jeg er blevet klogere af, og som du kan dykke ned i, hvis du gerne vil vide mere om skrivningens effekt samt inspireres til flere øvelser. Jeg har en hel stak af bøger om skrivning. Expressive Writing. Words that Heal af Pennebaker og Evans er en klassiker, der opsummerer forskningen på området og giver forslag til forskellige strukturerede skriveøvelser. En anden bog, der henvender sig mere til terapeuter og undervisere er redigeret af Gillie Bolton m.fl. og hedder Writing Works. A Resource Handbook for Therapeutic Writing Worskshops and Activities. En tredje bog er Anette Aggerbecks Skriveterapi. Din guide til personlig vækst, der også indeholder mange gode dagbogsøvelser til forskellige formål. Videnskaben tyder på (og min erfaring siger mig), at dagsbogsskrivning eller dét at lave forskellige skriftlige øvelser bl.a. kan: Nedbringe vores stressniveau og dermed gavne det fysiske helbredGive os følelsesmæssig afklaringAfhjælpe tankemylderHjælpe os med at bryde vanerGør os mere robusteMotivere os til at handle i overensstemmelse med vigtige værdierHjælpe os med at give slip på fortidenGive os adgang til kreative løsninger på problemer Alt i alt er der mange gode grunde til at skrive, og du behøver ikke kende til videnskaben bag for at gå i gang med det. Da jeg besøgte Gillie Bolton (forfatter og ekspert i skriveprocesser) i London for nogle år siden, sagde hun noget til mig, som jeg nu vil sige til dig: Stol på skriveprocessen. Jo mindre, du spekulerer over dét at skrive og jo mere, du bare skriver, des bedre. Stol på at bare dét at skrive vil bringe gode ting med sig og kast dig ud i det. Trust the writing... Er det bare mig, der synes, at det er svært at holde fast i en skrivepraksis? Er det bare mig, der synes, at det er svært at holde fast i en praksis, når man har en familie, der også har behov og rytmer og rutiner, der skal opretholdes? Nej, det er det jo ikke. Jeg kan se, at lige siden, jeg flyttede sammen med min mand (for 13 år siden), så har jeg haft sværere ved at holde fast i mine daglige rutiner med yoga, skrivning, meditation eller, hvad jeg nu havde gang i. Behovet for lige at stikke en finger i jorden til daglig er blevet endnu større, men jeg må erkende, at jeg synes, det er svært. Jeg er et menneske med antennerne langt ude og kan have svært ved at afgrænse mig, når der er andre tilstede. Derfor ryger jeg som regel ind og ud af rutinen med at skrive på daglig bas...

A few weeks ago I shared with you how freewriting freed me. The book Writing Down the Bones, by Natalie Goldberg, played a big part in that during my college years, introducing me to the idea of timed writing as a means to write and discover. Even though I wasn't all that interested in Goldberg's frequent references to Zen Buddhism, I liked her basic approach: "When I teach a class,” she says, “I want the students to be 'writing down the bones,' the essential, awake speech of their minds."1 When I tuned into to my own inner voice and wrote down that "awake speech" of my mind, I began to know myself better. And the better I knew myself, the better and more interesting my writing became. But when I look back, I realize the practice of self-reflection started even earlier, in high school. Write to Discover One afternoon when I was about 14 years old, I was glancing through books on writing at my local library and noticed a title: Write to Discover Yourself, by Ruth Vaughn. I looked both ways and plucked it from the shelf, running my fingers over the green cover with a fuchsia Gerbera daisy poking out of a pencil cup. It seemed a little wacky, but . . . Write. Discover. Writers have a lot to discover, but a way to write true and fresh no matter the project is to start by discovering oneself. I knew that instinctively, even then, and felt affirmed by this title. I desperately wanted to understand myself, to unearth who I was meant to become. And, I wanted to write. I took the book home and retreated to my room where I followed instructions to “portrait” the important people in my life, exploring memories, capturing life. I sat on the hardwood floor of my bedroom and composed a word-portrait of my father, struggling to express the way his resonant voice, rising from deep within his barrel chest, could build and fill—even shake—the house. Or was it just me, shaking? Page after page, the author encouraged me to continue being specific, to use concrete details and metaphor. I poured out stories from my little world. Digging into yourself requires a depth of honesty that is painful, the author said, but imperative. She quoted a professor who said a writer “is the person with his skin off.” First Thoughts That's how I began to decipher my life. On the pages of a journal, I wrote with my skin off—bare, vulnerable. I tapped into the "awake speech" of my mind, burning through to what Goldberg calls "first thoughts" in order to write down the bones, the hard truths, the core of what and who I had been and was becoming.2 The idea of first thoughts made so much sense to me, because I wanted to express my truest self but I knew I was mostly living in layers of thought, edited thoughts. Goldberg explains: "First thoughts have tremendous energy. It is the way the mind first flashes on something. The internal censor usually squelches them, so we live in the realm of second and third thoughts, thoughts on thought, twice and three times removed from the direct connection of the first fresh flash."3 So I used her idea of freewriting when I was in college—timed writing without stopping—hoping to once more get to the bones of thought, experience, memory, feeling; to gain clarity on faded and forgotten memories. As I practiced this private outpouring of words and deeply personal reflections—first with the help of that stumbled-upon writing book and later with guidance from author Natalie Goldberg—I peeled back layers to stare at my heart and soul. I began, through practice—through pain—the lifelong process of finding myself. Methods for Using Writing to Discover Yourself Since then I've found other resources that encourage a similar practice, like Proprioceptive Writing, Expressive Writing, and Julia Cameron's Morning Pages. I encourage you to look into these various methods and learn more. Whatever approach you try, seek to know yourself better and find insight and freedom by tapping into memory,

Dr. Stout and Dr. Smithyman explore and discuss the benefits of expressive writing as well as how and why it works.
