Is a cluster write the same thing as a mind map? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map

Happy christmas eve folks, i have had quite the journaling breakthrough. Posting for support and yeah pretty much that :) I was noticing that certain posts of high schoolers really gave me an awful feeling of regret. I have had pocd for a long time so i --obviously-- started blaming myself but I...

I've just watched last year's Doc Tovah's episode with Jeremy Whitacre, liked it a lot, and found his blog, mindfulcures.com This entry spoke a lot to me, and I hope you all enjoy it as well: www.mindfulcures.com/locked-up-with-tms-chronic-pain-how-to-journal-to-cure-it-quickly

Dr. Sarno suggested a daily writing practice that identified stressors, personality traits, and distressing emotions. Also, anger and annoyance that you can't express, for whatever reason. Nicole Sachs has described her JournalSpeak as 'Rage on the Page.' This is in her instructions: "You’re...

I'm struggling with this one - To have a dialogue with another person kind of makes sense and I apricate the idea is to try and see it from their point of view but you are making up what you think they would say so it also doesn't feel right like you might do more damage because you have...

Hi everyone, I’ve been working through chronic symptoms for years — mostly pelvic pain, urgency, and anxiety — and like many of you, I’ve gone deep into the work of Dr. Sarno, Alan Gordon, and Nichole Sachs. Journaling has been one of the most powerful tools for me, especially when I stick with...

I'm struggling mentally this past week. I have been seeing such progress! In the middle of May, I had to stop the SEP program. I didn't have time between work and my kids activities that are wrapping up. Thankfully, we are less busy for the summer and I can now jump on the SEP program again...

I am certain I have tms and believe that mind body work will heal my excruciating knee pain. Every time I journal the pain gets really bad. I work for a primary school and will be on summer break in a month. It is really hard to work like this but I keep thinking if I can just hold out until...

The question asks for my thoughts about how to improve this program. You’re asking me? I guess you might get a gem from someone. So I’ll put one out there and hope it’s a geode. The best part for me, was the journaling. It was hard, intense, humbling, relieving. I hated it. So that means it...

I just finished Dr. David Hanscom’s Direct your Own Care (DOC) app for MindBody recovery. It takes about 3 months. The app is easy to use, with simple daily lessons. There are no writing assignments—but you are encouraged to do what he calls “expressive writing,” daily. There are also some art...

Hi all- I did the SEP in Sept, noticed a huge difference in pain reduction. Symptoms flared again after an illness put me back into a fear based mindset. I had a very emotionally taxing January so decided to start Journaling again. SO MUCH is coming up. I am working through some deep stuff in...

Hey all. I have a story to tell, which actually happened a year ago. I've never posted a comprehensive success story - probably because I spend so much time writing off-the-cuff responses in the rest of the forum, and those often include examples of my personal successes. This particular...

Nice article from Vox. Nicole Sachs isn't mentioned, but many of us can recommend her JournalSpeak practice. This article has other options, ideas, and approaches. https://www.vox.com/life/393304/journaling-how-to-artists-way-shadow-work-mental-health-habit-goals (The transformative power of...

Hi everyone, These are some journaling prompts from Nichole Sachs’ new upcoming book, Mind Your Body: A Revolutionary Program to Release Chronic Pain and Anxiety. (I got them in a promo she sent to people who preordered. Shes also offering a free class to people who preorder. ) They look...

Does anyone know whether Curable or Dr. Schubiner's book "Unlearn Your Pain" utilize journaling as part of their programs?? Thanks! Just doing a little research.

Hi everyone, I just started my journaling journey, however i have a question. I already read a few posts that some of us are prone to 'editing' their journals, and i am certainly one of them so i promised myself not to do that. However- how about journaling about this TMS issue (including it)...

I really liked this episode of Nichole Sachs’ podcast: S3 E100 “Sending a Message of Safety to the Nervous System.” I Highly recommend it! Here are a few quotes: “Walking into the fire will indeed cure you, not burn you up.” (On journaling, self discovery.) “There’s no such thing as...
