Unlocking Healing: The Power of Journaling in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Journaling helps process emotions and reduce stress.
  • It provides a non-judgemental space for personal reflection.
  • Switching hands while writing can unlock deeper thoughts.
  • Gratitude journaling shifts focus to positive aspects.
  • Starting small with journaling can lead to impactful habits.
"It's not for everybody to read; it's just getting those words out, those thoughts out."
Curious about how journaling can be a lifeline in addiction recovery? Amy LaRue and Darcie Stephens have got you covered. In this heartwarming episode, they reflect on the recent Run For Hope event, a celebration of sobriety and remembrance, where over 1,500 participants came together to honour loved ones lost to addiction. But the real gem here is their deep dive into journaling as a therapeutic tool.
Amy and Darcie share their personal experiences with journaling, emphasising its power to process emotions, reduce stress, and even communicate with a higher power. Whether it's jotting down gratitude lists or scribbling down raw emotions, the hosts advocate for journaling as a non-judgemental space for healing. Darcie even spills the beans on her quirky technique of switching hands to unlock deeper thoughts.
With light humour and genuine compassion, Amy and Darcie encourage listeners to start small—whether it’s a word, a sentence, or even a doodle—and build a habit that could change your life. Ready to grab a pen and let your thoughts flow?
