Journal and therapy

[RescueIsPossible]

Does anyone take your journal to therapy for the therapist to look through. I used to do it with Rachel my old therapist. But ive recently switched to a new therapist Peggy, and am not sure if I should start bringing my journal to therapy. Any thoughts?

It kinda showed her what had happened during the week And gave a starting point on what I needed to work on that week another thing to note is that I often write out what I'm thinking in therapy if I'm having trouble putting verbally so she knows I can't always put thoughts verbally

"I journal when I am not here. Would it be helpful for me to bring my journal to our sessions?"

It's a straightforward question, what about asking it?

It sounds like you need to work through what works for you and your feelings about your change of therapists. Each T is different and will have a different approach, which can be hard, but you can also make a lot of progress if you try to be open minded about new ways of working.

What are the reasons behind the change of Therapist?

My parents didn't like the old one even though I liked her alot

I don't like that I changed therapists I miss my old one.
