Box Journaling
A journalling workshop that combines creativity with cognitive processing. Transformative healing can take place through journaling when emotions and thoughts are explored together. We use colour and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to process through difficult times so we can flourish and tap into our natural resiliency.
Join JakeJoy as she takes you through a journalling process that has helped her find peace and movement through personal difficulties and challenges faced over the last couple of years.
JakeJoy is a professional artist and teacher and now a counselling therapist in training. She has combined her experiences and skills in order to develop a new journalling approach. "I can say this method has brought the value of journalling back into my life. I used to dread journalling, now I love it!" She wants to share her breakthrough method with you.

Interesting articles you can read before the workshop:

We are working with themes around Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Identifying automatic thoughts. How to put words to our feelings. How seperating feelings and thoughts can bring harmony to our lives. How visualization and imagery can release blocks. Here are a couple of articles you can read before the workshop if you have time.

testimonials:

"I definitely needed guidance on how to break things down so that I could work towards finding compassion for myself. This breakdown is clever and will be a valuable tool for my mental health kit."

"I appreciated the comfort of having others (whom I don't know) also undergoing the same process in this shared space."

"It's a very safe environment. People are free to share to the degree they wish. Very supportive."

"The value is seperating the feels from the thoughts and how useful it is to reframe them. I was surprised to hear there was no formal structure to the workshop, when the box journal process has great structure aimed at organizing the unorganized thoughts."

"I was surprised by the process. I found it hard to distil thoughts and emotions and do the visual part. I thought it would be easier."
​

"I was surprised by the method - very interesting. I think it will be very useful. Surprised by how quickly it came for me."
