Journal About Trauma and Read It Back

Use journaling to put words to trauma and bring new eyes and curiosity to internal experience rather than repeating automatic thoughts. Structure it based on what helps: write a little at night if carrying a journal all day becomes compulsive, or keep a journal with you if strong thoughts arise unpredictably. After writing, read back what you wrote to gain distance and perspective.

“And then the question you had asked about, say, journaling or what can we do that's outside of a professional, I think the hallmark of it has to be bringing new eyes to it, right? Like thinking about self with a curiosity instead of just a simple automaticity or repetition.”
