The Power of Prompted Reflection
A year's journey through therapeutic journalling
Dear Friend
How are you feeling today, it is Sunday right?! Are you as confused as I am about what day of the week it is?! I tried to be all organised and schedule my newsletters over Christmas, but I failed miserably. The newsletter that was planned for today, landed with you last Sunday - oops! So today’s newsletter I wrote earlier this morning from my cosy bed. I really think you’ll enjoy it, especially if you love journalling prompts!
Throughout 2024, I’ve proudly shared hundreds of therapeutic journalling prompts with many of my readers, followers, clients and guests, especially with women navigating life’s most challenging chapters.
My prompts aren’t just random questions I’ve scribbled on a small piece of paper - they’ve been carefully crafted invitations to help you explore the depths of your emotional landscape, to make sense of the chaos, and to help you find your way back to centre, especially when life pulls you off balance.
I’ve shared my story, and many other personal stories, of how therapeutic journalling has been a life changing experience. From the raw anger of divorce to the uncertainty of supporting two children on a single income, from the storms of menopause to the shock of a sudden health issue - these prompts have become trusted companions for people seeking an outlet to transform their pain into purpose, their confusion into clarity, and their rage into revealing insight.
What I’ve witnessed has been nothing short of extraordinary. Women who began with skepticism - “How can journalling possibly help me?” - found themselves experiencing breakthrough moments through the simple act of putting pen to paper. A single prompt often unlocked years of buried emotions, offering relief, understanding, and a path forward.
The difference with what I practice and preach, is that my therapeutic journalling prompts aren’t your typical “ List three things you’re grateful for”. They’re a deep dive exploration designed to gently crack open the heart, illuminate the shadows, and help you navigate your way through the whatever storm you’re weathering. They’re born from real conversations, real tears, real triumphs, and real transformations I’ve witnessed in my therapeutic journalling practice.
In this collection, I’m sharing the prompts that have consistently created the most profound shifts for my clients and subscribers. These are the questions that sparked revelations, the writing exercises that led to release, and the reflections that paved the way for healing. Each prompt has been tested, refined, and proven to unlock something powerful within.
Whether you’re a seasoned journal keeper or someone who’s never written more than a shopping list, these prompts are designed to meet you exactly where you are. They don’t demand perfection or poetry - they simply invite honesty, and in that honesty, transformation becomes possible.
Here are my Top 100 Therapeutic Journalling Prompts of 2024…
(I totally understand you may not want to invest in a paid subscription, but I honestly think subscribing to this newsletter, which will give you access to 100 therapeutic journalling prompts and one month’s ‘with ease’ newsletters, will be worth every penny!)
