  • 141 | 3 Mistakes HSPs and Introverts Make When Journaling Their Feelings
    Jan 8 2025

    In this episode, I'm tackling three common myths and three mistakes that highly sensitive people and introverts often make when journaling their feelings.

    As HSPs, we tend to overthink and process deeply, which can lead to emotional overwhelm or numbness. I bust myths like "journaling will make me dwell on feelings" and "I need to write perfectly," while addressing mistakes such as focusing only on negative emotions or stopping when emotions feel too big.

    I provide practical tips for moving past these roadblocks and using journaling as a tool to process emotions healthily. If you've been hesitant to start journaling or struggling to maintain a practice, this episode will help you transform journaling from an overwhelming task into a powerful tool for emotional resilience.
