What is a therapy companion journal?
A therapy companion journal is a tool for you to use on your own (or with a professional) to answer thought-provoking questions that can help you uncover thoughts, emotions and beliefs about yourself and the world around you.
Do I need to be in therapy to use this journal?
Nope! This can be used on your own, but can give you a small intro to therapy concepts that you can research further and decide if you would like to seek professional services in the future.
Who is this journal for?
Inward & Forward journals are for anyone interested in learning more about themselves, their thought patterns and emotions. It can be used by those in therapy, those curious about therapy, and for those who just want to have more moments of self-reflection.
What makes this journal different? How often should I use it?
This is not a free writing journal (although there are pages for free writing if desired!). It is designed to help guide you when you are not sure what to write about, or speak about with your therapist.
It can be used as often as you’d like. I would recommend doing one page every day or two, but please use at your own pace. Also, feel free to jump around the topics if you don’t feel drawn to answer one in particular that day.
Is this journal a substitute for therapy?
No! While the prompts and education are therapy-inspired, please seek out the help of a licensed professional therapist or psychologist if you want to discuss your prompts and thoughts further.
Note that this journal does NOT do deep dives into trauma topics. Please seek professional services for discussions into these serious and brave topics.
Will future versions be different?
Inward & Forward journals are designed with people in mind, not a specific diagnosis. Future versions will continue to develop and change depending on customer feedback and needs. If you have worked on an Inward & Forward journal, please don’t forget to leave feedback on our contact page!
Do you ship internationally?
Not at the moment. It is my dream to one day provide mental health resources internationally, so please check back later!
