Writing has always been a massively useful Mental Hygiene tool, for externalising what's going on in the hearts and minds of we humans - especially the things that tend to persist long after time and space might have otherwise bid them farewell. Journaling can take events - so-called "positive" and "negative" - and put them into words and under a more dispassionate microscope, where attention and analysis might help strip them of the power we once granted them to influence the way we see and act in the world.
The show also looks at two other, more structured and intensive methodologies for written analysis, "Journaling on steroids", that describes well both Dr. Jordan Peterson's "Self-Authoring" toolkit as well as Jed McKenna's "Spiritual Autolysis".
