All about Journalling: How to begin when you don’t know where to start

by with No Comment Self Care

 Why Journaling Heals

In a world that constantly demands your attention, journaling offers a quiet space to reconnect with yourself.

It’s not just about writing — it’s about listening to your inner voice, uncovering patterns, and gently releasing emotions that weigh you down.

At Springs of Revy Therapy, we see journaling as a bridge between your thoughts and your healing.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, motherhood transitions, or relationship challenges, writing helps you slow down, make sense of your experiences, and invite self-compassion.

 How to Start Journaling When You Feel Stuck

You don’t need to be a writer — you only need honesty and curiosity.

Start small: set aside 5–10 quiet minutes, find a comfortable space, and write whatever comes to mind.

There’s no right or wrong way.

Some days, you might write a single sentence. Other days, a page will flow effortlessly. What matters most is showing up — for yourself.

Here are  5 Gentle Journal Prompts to Begin Your Healing Journey

These prompts are designed to help you reflect, release, and reconnect with yourself:

  • What emotions have I been holding in lately, and what might they be trying to tell me?
  • What do I need to let go of to feel lighter and more present today?
  • Who am I becoming, and what small steps can I take to honor that growth?
  • When do I feel most peaceful, and how can I bring more of that into my daily life?
  • What does self-kindness look like for me this week?

 A Gentle Reminder

Journaling is not about perfection — it’s about presence.

Over time, you’ll begin to see patterns, lessons, and areas calling for healing.

If emotions arise, allow them. Tears, laughter, silence — they’re all part of the release.

And if your journaling uncovers deeper pain or past wounds, remember you don’t have to walk alone.

At Springs of Revy Therapy, we provide safe, compassionate spaces for you to explore your story and find meaning in your journey.

 Begin Today

Take a deep breath, open your notebook, and begin with just one sentence.

Your healing has already begun — one word at a time.

10 Signs You Might Benefit from Therapy (Even If You Think You’re Fine)

by with No Comment Self Care

When people hear the word therapy, they often imagine crisis—someone who is falling apart, depressed, or unable to cope. But therapy isn’t just for emergencies. Just like we visit a doctor for regular check-ups, therapy can be a safe space for personal growth, stress relief, and learning healthier ways to navigate life.

Here are ten signs you might benefit from talking to a therapist—even if you think you’re “fine.”

1. You feel overwhelmed more often than not

If you’re constantly juggling responsibilities—work, family, finances—and feeling like you can’t catch your breath, therapy can give you tools to manage stress and prevent burnout.

2. Your sleep or appetite has changed

Struggling to fall asleep, waking up too early, or eating much more or less than usual can signal that something deeper is going on emotionally.

3. You keep replaying the past

Whether it’s a painful childhood memory, a mistake at work, or a relationship issue, being stuck in “mental reruns” may be a sign you need help processing and moving forward.

4. You feel disconnected from people you care about

If it’s becoming harder to connect with friends, family, or even your children, therapy can help you rebuild those emotional bridges.

5. You’re easily irritated or on edge

Snapping at loved ones, getting impatient at work, or feeling restless may point to stress or unresolved emotions beneath the surface.

6. You rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms

Overeating, scrolling endlessly on social media, drinking, or avoiding responsibilities may give temporary relief but often create bigger struggles. Therapy can offer healthier alternatives.

7. You’re going through a big life change

Transitions—whether it’s marriage, motherhood, loss, a new job, or even “positive” milestones—can bring stress. A therapist provides space to process these shifts.

8. You feel stuck or unfulfilled

If you have a sense that life could be “more,” but you don’t know where to start, therapy can help clarify your values and guide you toward meaningful change.

9. You’re carrying unresolved grief or trauma

Sometimes we push painful experiences aside to “stay strong,” but they resurface in unexpected ways—anxiety, sadness, or physical tension. Therapy offers a safe way to heal.

10. You simply want to know yourself better

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people use it as a space to grow, learn new coping skills, and build healthier relationships—with themselves and others.

Final Thoughts

Needing therapy doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human. We all deserve a safe, supportive space to process life’s challenges.

At Springs of Revy, we walk alongside you through the overwhelming moments, the unspoken struggles, and the quiet questions you carry. Whether you’re navigating relationships, parenthood, work stress, or healing from past wounds, you don’t have to do it alone.
