Intensive Journal Method: Much More Than a Diary or Collection of Exercises
- The Intensive Journal workbook is an integrated system of writing exercises for accessing your feelings and experiences in an organized way.
- Issues that were difficult to describe become tangible and accessible to you.
- Approach your life from several perspectives to overcome obstacles and gain awareness.
Valuable and Unique Experience
- The leader will guide you through exercises step-by-step as you apply them to your life.
- Work in total privacy. No one comments on or judges your writing or life.
- You do not have to like writing or be a good writer. You write what comes from within, not a life story. Only you will read what you write.
- Take the workshop in the privacy of your home or in the energy of a small group.
- At a Journal Workshop, by Dr. Progoff, is the primary book for the program (considered to be “One of the 65 most significant books on psychology and spirituality of the 20th century.” Source: Common Boundary, Jan-Feb 1999).
- Use the method on your own afterwards. You may wish to consider taking other workshop modules on the Intensive Journal method.
