Kathleen Adams is one of the most prominent and established voices in the field of therapeutic writing. She's a best-selling author, speaker, and psychotherapist.
She's the founder and director of the Center for Journal Therapy, the premier source of education and training on the power of writing for healing, growth, and change.
She's also the director of the Therapeutic Writing Institute and adjunct faculty at the University of Denver, where she teaches Writing and Healing, a 10-week course. In an internet poll, Kay was listed (with Anne Frank and Anais Nin) as one of the three most significant influences on contemporary journal keeping.
I learned about her work when I read her first book, Journal to the Self (1990), a classic that has helped define the field of journal therapy. I then had the privilege to meet Kay to ask her questions about journaling.
- What is journaling?
- Why is it helpful?
- What misconceptions do people have about journaling?
- How can we start journaling?
- What journaling techniques are there?
- Is it better to keep a handwritten or digital journal?
- Should you journal only when you're sad?
- How can you become a better writer by journaling?
Kay and I hope this recorded chat will inspire you to write down your thoughts more often.
