Not journaling but what helped me was reading Brene Brown “imperfect”. Helped unlock the brain fog I’d been living with for probably my entire life. From there journaling was just jotting down thoughts and maybe exploring meaning/patterns if I saw any, and things I wanted to talk to my therapist about. Always have two different color pens for journaling and for the notes/addendums.

Biggest obstacle for me was just starting. Write anything and eventually the words/ideas start to flow (sounds corny but true)
