JournalTalk Q&A Journal Writing Coach

Q&A: “What’s the Difference Between a Journal Coach and a Journal Therapist?”

JournalTalk Q&A Journal Writing CoachToday’s question from Mark is one of terminology. What do you call a person who helps others achieve new insights and accomplishments, using the power of journal-writing? Is it a Journal Coach? or a Journal Therapist?

We could have also discussed the role of Journal Facilitator (which I am currently studying at The Center for Journal Therapy) but let’s stick to Mark’s question!

Kim Ades, from Frame of Mind Coaching in Toronto, Canada, joins me to answer this intriguing distinction. You can learn more about Frame of Mind Coaching by taking this assessment, and receive a free consultation from a coach. Please let them know that you heard about them on JournalTalk!

Your turn to answer: Are you a Journal Coach or Journal Therapist? If so, how do you describe and distinguish your role? If not, with whom would you rather work, a journal coach or a journal therapist? Post your responses at the bottom of this webpage, in the comments section.

You may email your own journaling question to be featured on a future episode of JournalTalk. Or, pick up the telephone and leave a voicemail with your question at 1-805-751-6280 (only normal toll charges may apply). When your question is featured, we will send you a thank-you gift for sharing your voice! (JournalTalk Q&A, Episode #25, March 24, 2015)

JournalTalk answers your questions about journaling

Q&A: “What Does Journaling Actually Do For You?”

JTQA_LogoA brand new listener asked, “Apart from the obvious (recording your thoughts) what does journal-writing actually do for you?”

Each and every single episode of this podcast provides at least one unique answer to this, but Mari and I thought it would be nice to take this opportunity to share OUR favorite benefits.

At the conclusion of the 30-Day Digital Journaling Challenge, we asked the 1,400+ participants to share what benefits they experienced by keeping an electronic journal. If you’d like to see those results, please add yourself to our mailing list here, and take the Challenge yourself!

In the book, 101 Reasons To Write a Journal, the author devotes an entire chapter to eight main benefits he received personally from journal-writing over 20 years. Here are the chapters:

101 Reasons Book Image1. Self-Improvement (Reasons 1-28)
2. Creativity (Reasons 29-36)
3. Family (Reasons 37-49)
4. Writing (Reasons 50-62)
5. Problem-Solving (Reasons 63-71)
6. Spirituality (Reasons 72-82)
7. Daily Life (Reasons 83-91)
8. Logging (Reasons 92-101)

Fuel the dialogue: What benefits have YOU received from keeping a journal? Post your response at the bottom of this webpage, in the comments section.
