Therapeutic Journaling and Burnout

Episode 17 of Burnout: A Different Kind of GAP Year Podcast showcases a therapeutic tool that played a significant role in my burnout recovery process, journaling. As a Clinical Psychologist and a person with lived experience of burnout, I would like to share my knowledge and expertise with journaling to support those who are going through, suspect that they are, or have recovered from burnout and want to prevent it from happening again or are curious about this condition. In this episode, I aim to provide you with information that will: Increase understanding of journaling as a therapeutic technique. Increase knowledge of how to set up your practice. Provide resources to start your journal practice. I answer the following questions: What is journaling? What styles of journaling are there? What's the purpose? Does it help? Are there any limitations? What is the best way to journal? What barriers are there to journaling? What resources are there to set up a journaling practice?
