ART Journaling for Helping Professionals GROUP
Journaling for helping professionals is the practice of writing down thoughts, emotions, reflections, and experiences related to their work. It serves as a tool for self-care, emotional processing, and professional growth. For individuals in helping roles—like therapists, social workers, counselors, nurses, and others—it provides an opportunity to manage the emotional and psychological demands of their job, reflect on challenging cases, and process their own feelings in a healthy way.
