therapy journal
Mental health notebook
A therapy journal is a notebook or digital document used to record thoughts, feelings, and experiences as part of mental health treatment or self-reflection.
Therapists often assign journaling between sessions to help clients process emotions, track patterns, or work through specific issues: My therapist suggested I keep a therapy journal to notice what triggers my anxiety.
The practice bridges sessions and encourages ongoing self-awareness.
