My therapists had another approach. She never asked me to write my thoughts down. I did it because a friend of mine told me to. Her therapist had the same approach as yours.

Writing to change

While I was still in school, I had a therapist that recommended that I write about my thoughts. I was a little disappointed when I realized she would never read what I wrote but I had to tell her about it to discuss it (I wrote a lot). Apparently, the idea was just for me to write it down, not for her to read all of it. She was still great, though.
