   This is amazing and very helpful!

   I just have a question…Is one allowed to use these worksheets to work with, say, vulnerable youth within a certain youth-focused programme? I am currently a mentor and have a strong passion for the use of Expressive writing for therapy, and plan on having a workshop with a strong focus on this. What are the restrictions to using your worksheets? Do I have to reference you? What exactly do I need to do especially if I am going to use it constantly, as I believe it is your intellectual property?

   Hi
   The article 83 Benefits of Journaling for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress
   By Courtney E Eckerman is SPOT ON
   I’m 51
   Began Journaling when I was 17 because I was a
   1. Loner
   2. Depressed person (didn’t know it then – diagnosed Bipolar by a psychologist who I sleeked help from…..didn’t work out…long story)
   3. Had a disassociated Personality – stemmed from childhood ( had emotional abandonment disorder – from my mom leaving me at 4 years old for 4 years –
   I’m Eastern European and was brought up in a household where you don’t talk about your problems so I began to write because I had no one to talk to, I discovered all this through writing in a Journal for over 28 years – And I self- healed.
   I combined my disassociated personalities accidentally through a practice I had never heard about prior to doing it called MINDFULLNESS – but this MINDFULLNESS EXPERIMENT came about from journaling –
   My Journaling took many type of forms
   * Poetry – ( Came through me in a Rushing Outpour – I can not write poetry now to save my life)
   * Self- Help Note taking
   * Dialogue from favorite Movies – Usually deep ones dealing with Artist’s Biographies
   * Spiritual Undertones
   This Last One – Spiritual Undertone – I felt it through my writing – Not right away
   For most of my life I wanted to die -because the emotional pain was very overwhelming
   The Journal Was My Best Friend – it helped ease the Pain
   When I’d write things such as I’m a loser – I never do anything right
   There would be answers back with my own pen ( At the time I didn’t reflect on it – never did) such as You’re more than you know. A conqueror of Life . A Power to be reckoned with
   Messages Like that ( If you are a Depressed Person – You know that there’s no way that you can have such feelings off low self worth and in the next line be able to pump yourself up
   So there is a SPIRITUAL FORCE that begins working through you when you start asking and Probing WHO AM I ? I was obsessed with this because I was going crazy with my disassociated personalities. And abscessed with figuring out my PURPOSE in life. While I was going through this obsessive quest I couldn’t understand why it was that I was so abscessed with it – in the end I figured out it’s because it’s a CALLING – A SPIRITUAL CALLING – and once I accepted it and began working towards it I felt fully whole and at peace
   The only time I’m not at peace within myself is when I seriously say within ” I GIVE UP – THIS IS TOO HARD”
   My CALLING? Put out a 4 Voulume Series – MEMOIR of my 27 YearJourney –
   My 1st Book done – I’m working on applying my Editor’s suggestions
   Sorry for the messy writing – thought jumping
   If anyone wants to contact me – I’m living proof that Journaling works
   It saved my life / helped me discover my Purpose
