Learn how to JournalSpeak HERE
If you already believe in JournalSpeak but find yourself avoiding it, overthinking it, or worrying that you’re doing it wrong, I'm here to help. After teaching at NYU Tisch’s Dance Department and Brown Medical School, I wanted to bring you a practical guide that puts the why, the how, and the places we get stuck all in one conversation.
Today, I explain more of the science of chronic symptoms through the brain, the nervous system, and the emotional reservoir, and walk you through what makes JournalSpeak different from keeping a journal. We explore a barrier that so many people encounter: the fear that writing something angry, resentful, or ugly means it defines who you are. Those feelings belong to a part of you that needs to be heard. You can love someone deeply and still need a private place to say how hard it is.
I also share a spoken JournalSpeak example and walk you through the practice: 20 minutes of honest, uncensored expression, destroying what you’ve written, and 10 minutes of self-compassion afterward. We talk about skepticism, perfectionism, the pressure to feel better immediately, and my 28-day challenge to help you notice changes you might otherwise dismiss. Whether you’re brand new or returning to this work, there is room to begin exactly where you are.
