The Workshop: Classic journal writing techniques provide opportunities for client work, self-supervision and existential practice. Journal writing offers opportunities to extend the therapeutic experience beyond the face-to-face encounter and to provide clients with a self-sustaining method of support after the contract has ended.

In addition journal writing offers the practitioner techniques for self-supervison and reflective practice.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience for themselves this kind of reflective process in the moment. There will be some opportunities (but no obligation) to read aloud what is written during the day.
