Each journaling session should include facts about the event, feelings about the event, and associated thoughts, emotions, or people.

“for each of the four boutots of writing you want to include both facts about the events facts about how you felt and or feel about those events now and third any associations whatsoever that happen to come to mind about those events emotional states people in your life anything past present or future”

“the idea is to sit down and write for 15 to 30 minutes right continuously write about something that really to you is one of the most if not the most difficult experiences of your life”

“first is of course to write about facts about that difficult experience I think that's sort of obvious that when people are going to recall a difficult experience they're likely to write down facts about that experience the second thing that they want to remind them to include were emotions that they felt at the time of the experience as well as emotions that they happen to feel now about that experience and third that people include writing about any and all links that come to mind about the negative experience and things that may be happening today or plans for the future people from the past present or future really any link no matter how distant it might seem or how random it might seem to include that in the the writing”
