What is the Journal to the Self?

The Journal to the Self® Workshop is a proven method of keeping a journal for personal growth and enhancing different areas of your life.

It was created in 1985 by my mentor Kathleen (Kay) Adams, Director of the Center for Journal Therapy, and a well-known pioneer and expert in writing therapy.

More than 100,000 people around the globe have learned this easy, effective, empowering model of journal-keeping through the Journal to the Self method and now, as a Journal to the Self Certified instructor, I get to share it with you!

The journal is like the moon, emitting a magnetic tug that draws information from your subconscious and unconscious minds and brings it to the surface, where you can work at a conscious level.

Journaling Helps You With

  • Uncovering thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that were once unconscious
  • Self-understanding by articulating your thoughts and feelings in a structured way
  • Promoting emotional well-being by creating a safe space to express and process emotions
  • Making healthier choices by becoming aware of recurring themes and patterns
  • Personal empowerment as you own the narrative of your life instead of being defined by societal expectations

Who is the Journal to the Self for?

If you’re new to journaling and often unsure how to start or what to write about, the JTTS will provide you with bite-sized techniques and a step-by-step guided journey free of overwhelming information.

Do you journal sporadically, likely when you feel stuck, sad, or angry? The JTTS will encourage you to develop a more consistent and positive practice that feels rewarding, not forced.

As an experienced journaler, you’ve developed your own routines for self-growth. The JTTS will expand your practice with creative techniques to access deeper, often hidden, aspects of you.

Today, I live in my hometown Lisbon writing stories out of everyday moments, hosting journaling sessions, making YouTube videos, and creating the journaling tools you find at Prophsee.

FAQ

The Journal to the Self® Workshop is for anyone ready to explore journaling as a path to self-awareness, growth, and life balance. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have prior journaling experience, this course meets you where you are. The invitation is to show up with curiosity and an open mind as you explore the depths of you.

To fully participate in this online class, you’ll need a journal, a pen/pencil, and a willingness to explore your inner world through writing. That’s all!

That’s perfectly fine! While many enjoy the tactile experience of writing by hand, you’re welcome to use a digital device if it suits you better. The key is finding what makes your journaling practice most comfortable and effective.

If you decide that the Journal to the Self® Workshop isn’t the right fit for you, you can email me at any point during your first week of purchase to request a full refund. All I ask is that you share feedback/tips on what could’ve been better for you. 🙂
