Diary keeping

[16sundayz]

Does anyone else write down thoughts and feelings and take them to their psychologist/counsellor/psychiatrist appointments? I do that with mine, he reads them and then we discuss. I find it easier to write them down than actually saying them vocally and it helps me get them out better.

Hi 16sundayz, that sounds like a really good idea. Before an appointment I try to gather everything I want to speak to my counsellor about in my head, but once I'm actually speaking to them I never quite get out everything I wanted to say. I think that having it all written down instead of relying on just having it all in my head is very useful. Thank you for the helpful tip.

I hope it helps you as much as it does me. It's not a special diary or anything just an A5 notebook.
