[Ep 154] [Journal Reviews] Guided Journals for Depression and Anxiety
from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Spiritual Director for Christian Women
When you are struggling with depression or anxiety, it can often feel heavy. Overwhelming. Hopeless. The worries and fears you carry around can impact every aspect of your life. The sadness can overshadow every other thing around you. I know, because I've been there. Have you? And in addition to counseling or coaching or seeing a doctor, journaling has also proven quite beneficial for those experiencing depression or anxiety. There's just something about getting things down on paper that allows you to express what's stirring inside of you, to release some of the heaviness, or to adopt a more playful or curious attitude about something that feels very serious and heavy. So today, I want to review five guided journals designed specifically for those experiencing depression and anxiety. I'll share more about each one and how it is created so you can discern if it might be a good fit for you or a friend of yours.
