Following on from memory journaling is Rage journaling

Now this I'm sure is something many of us will be glad to do.

Spend a short time when you need to, say 10-15mins writing down everything that you're cross about, anyone who has upset you or said something harsh.

This is just for you so you write in any form you wish!

It allows all the things that have been bugging us, to get it off our chests, so that we don't keep stewing on it.

When you've finished spend 5-10mins just being still and quiet, sounds good eh?

I'm definitely going to give this a try <3

There’s a Step for that in my 12-Step program. Where we write down what’s upsetting us. It’s very cathartic.

But the next step is to talk it over with a confidant. That’s the hard part. Usually the things that bug me, say more about my character than the person, place or thing I’m reacting to.

After my grief over my daughter’s death subsided a bit, I was able to let out the anger. I wrote it down and talked about it.

Journaling is a lifesaver.

Thanks so much for these words of comfort LilyAnnepuppy

Aah, I had no idea, but sounds very sensible, write then talk, hmm... must give that a try.

I totally get this, I react to some things poorly, I should stop and think more!

I hope we have a good uptake of this, it would be good to know how it's worked from others too.

Take care
